Let's say that we're talking about Earth, and the prospect of contamination by some invasive life form from wherever. Would you be OK with that?

But even if we set aside morality, contaminating stuff makes it harder to know whether there was life there already.

At one of my projects I had a similar problem.

The problem: My customer was renting items (to his customers) and wanted those items to be given random, but not too random to avoid giving the same (free to rent) item too many times because it will worn out too fast vs. rest of them. Replacing that item in the overall pool of those items was more expensive than replacing the entire pool (think doors on small lockers, and the entire panel of lockers was cheaper to just get replaced altogether - don't ask me why, modern society is weird)

The solution: Mark each item with a score that goes up each time the item gets rented. And apply random to those that are at bottom. In the beginning all items had zero as score, one gets rented and its score is now 1. I applied random to only those with zero score until all of them were rented once. Of course, renting times were variables so overall the algorithm that I've implemented in the end was more complex, but this was the basic idea.
Nice system. Simple and ergonomic. I've used a similar system before but 1) stored locally (never persisting to git) and 2) not using pass + `date`. This streamlines that for me.

Surgeries don’t take place in clean rooms. The patients themselves are not clean. The contamination in these cases is coming from previous patients. So, unless you can make a self cleaning and self sterilizing robot, a human will be involved in turning instruments over for the next surgery.
Why would keyboard cleanliness matter more than everything else in the environment?

On the one hand:

It doesn't and I didn't say it did. I only suggested it might be helpful for some people.

On the other hand:

Your hands come into regular contact with the keyboard, sometimes for many hours a day. Some keyboards are shockingly disgusting.

I inherited a shockingly disgusting keyboard at my corporate job. My tendon issues got worse. I began cleaning it regularly. It helped.

You can call it anecdotal if you wish.

I wonder the same with dentists too. I had two wisdom teeth removed and it costed just as much as my sister getting a doctor to remove a cotton ball from her ear (while waiting in line).

One involved surgery and anesthesia. The other involved a pair of tweezers. Same price.
I think both you and GP are right. I think there's a sweet spot in between where you're both regularly seeking out the tension/load that comes with growth and simultaneously leaving space and room to reflect, relax, rest and repair.
Why feeling pissed? It is unlikely this Cue project implements the very same semantics the way you think about them. I'd go ahead and just write that paper. Looking forward seeing your reference implementation :-).

I remember doing this on a flight from Frankfurt to New York in 1984 or 1987. My mother used to be a flight attendant on the same airline so she asked if we could go, and me and my brother and my mother could go into the cockpit somewhere over the Atlantic ocean. I was in my early teens at the time and it was very cool.
My understanding is that our body systems have feedback mechanisms. But the system is complex. One system is this loneliness mechanism that values long term attachments and repeated communal interaction, and makes us feel lonely if we don't get them. But the other system is more immediate -- validation and entertainment trigger dopamine releases for a small happiness boost on the spot, i.e. with social media. And like a Goodhart's Law sort of scenario (i.e. metrics eventually get optimized for and cease to be meaningful) we've gotten really good at optimizing for that dopamine hit without all the other variables that would typically be associated with that validation. For example, perhaps when these feedback mechanisms were developed, you'd typically be physically in person, interacting with and being validated by a community, and hence the anti-loneliness system would've worked in tandem with the dopamine system. So we've actually actively gamed our bodies' systems for the cheap feel-good, and now we pay the price of long term loneliness.

I'm a mid-30s engineer in a tech hub and am ~45 days into my Adderall prescription.

I decided to seek treatment for ADHD because my inability to focus was having a negative impact on my career and, indirectly, my well being. For context, I've lost more than one job where I've done good work on the interesting parts, but failed to carry my weight on the boring parts to the point where I simply wore out my welcome. I'm trying to start a family and I felt I was beginning to tread a familiar path with my otherwise very understanding and welcoming new boss.

This probably varies per provider, per locale, etc, but for me the process was:

- Used my insurers website to look up psychiatrists in my area. Had issues with less than great data here also and long appointment waiting times for some, just kept calling around

- called and scheduled an appointment

- told the psychiatrist that I believed I had ADHD

- went through a verbal assessment with the psychiatrist

- got blood work and an EKG done

- had my psychiatrist look over these results

- picked up prescription for first 30 days

- come back in for assessments at 3 weeks, 7 weeks, 11 weeks. Can get prescriptions over the phone afterwards

For me it has been life changing. There's a stigma within my family about mental health so for a long time I've suspected I had this problem but just tried to discipline myself and stick to a system instead of asking for help. AIUI I use a relatively small amount (10mg in the morning, then either 5mg or 10mg in the afternoon). The biggest differences for me have been a) I start the work that sounds boring in a timely manner instead of putting it off to the last minute, b) when I dig into these boring items, I find that the stuff I considered boring before actually can be interesting too sometimes - and at the very least solving them correctly gives me a little rush of dopamine, and c) I make fewer mistakes on the boring stuff because I'm not rushing through it under self-induced time pressure just trying to accept the first "looks right" explanation.
I used to journal a ton in college, which is going on a decade ago. It helped my mind so much to be able to have my internal dialogues; I was learning and practicing so much, so having a built-in feedback loop made my life so much easier.

For some reason, this all changed when I entered the work world. Perhaps I simply didn't have the time or energy to do it anymore; for some reason, as hectic as college seemed, I sure did have a lot more time and energy than I do now. Some of this must be age, but some of it seems to be me having fallen off the horse and lost the mental muscles. I noticed the same thing in physical form when I fell off the wagon exercise wise a year ago.

Has anyone experienced something similar?
Nice! Or even just Sqlite
If you are e.g. typing in an operating room, wearing gloves contaminated with MRSA, I would recommend regularly sterilizing your keyboard, https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S019567010...

It would also would be a good idea to regularly clean keyboards on public computers, e.g. at libraries.

But not because of concerns about RSI...

Edit: “I cleaned my keyboard and my joint pain seemed subjectively better” is a good example of anecdotal evidence; no need to italicize anecdotal.

Edit 2: I removed my comments below, because this whole conversation is off topic and unproductive.
> I don't see why this is so controversial. It seems like the proper way to do a background check in the current era.

Because it's not normal to perform extensive background checks for people visiting your country? I'd think it pretty weird it they wanted to interview my family, friends, employer, previous employer.

> The worry seems to stem from a general distrust of ICE and the current administration rather than this actual technique.

No... I mean I find the actual technique offensive. They can find public profiles associated with my name by googling me. Why do you need to provide them information about which handles are associated with me? If it's because otherwise they might mismatch profiles <-> individuals, perhaps they just shouldn't be using this information to profile people?
I had equal wonder when someone told me you were able to visit the cockpit. Too bad
I've tried in the past to find a provider that accepted my insurance and then given up and just bitten the bullet on paying the out of network premium. To this day, I haven't found a plan (even with expensive, top of the line insurance like I had at a previous job) that had great in-network options.
I should clarify- I fully agree with your assessment. Sturgeon's law holds true with books as much as anything, and there is plenty that can be tossed aside after only a cursory glance.

My point was aimed along the lines that if a book is worth reading once, you will benefit from rereading it at a future date.
i feel like something weird is going on with my eyes. After staring at a screen for an hour i have hard time focusing them and feels like thye are being pulll out of the eye sockets. Its really hard to describe but not sure what to do about it or how to even describe it.

I would like to not use any screens for a couple of month and see if that fixes it but I am unable to make room for that kind of a program.
Will do but that shouldn't be necessary, especially a service that wants me to trust it with my financial details.

But shouldn't this be a civil matter, not a criminal one?
I largely read nonfiction, largely to gain an understanding of questions or problems or methods. I'll read fiction for pleasure occasionally, and certainly have in the past. That's almost always far easier.

I read actively, and am a fan of Mortimer Adler's How to Read a Book, mentioned by others. The methods it describes are much as I'd developed on my own, though I've picked up a few pointers.

I consider books resources to aid in an inquiry. I've an idea of the questions I'm interested in, and exploring the development, presentation, and explorations of those questions guides what I read.

My "to read" pile is ... unmanageable. I've collected thousands of books and articles, which I consider not an obligation to read, but a pre-vetted resource to dig into in more depth. Bibliographies, footnotes, annotations, and references within works are very useful at turning up other works. Generally, my highest priority is on foundational works within a field, or revolutionary works which either break new ground or synthesize existing ideas into a new whole. As I've studied, I've found myself generally less interested in the most recent material -- it's often far less substantive than earlier works, much rehashes older concepts (with or without credit or reference), though sometimes in the context of some contemporary crisis or issue. (Much of HN's submissions and discussion fall into this class.)

Cultivating my own discipline to work through material I've alreday surfaced is difficult, though I've at least skimmed through a reasonably large share. Tools for organising and managing a large personal research library are sadly lacking, and progress toward realising the dream outlined by Vannevar Bush in his Memex, or Ted Nelson's Project Xanadu, has been sadly disappointing.

I'm actively looking for tips at improving my tools and methods. Reducing the reading pile being a principle objective.
This is an important article.

I read several years ago about manufacturers sterilizing medical tools with radiation before they left the factory. I could imagine that the setup for doing that is too complex and dangerous for a regular hospital to run, but could it be offered as an outside service? Tools that can't undergo autoclaving could be sent out for irradiation after every surgery.

But this is very much not my area, so there are probably a hundred things wrong with my suggestion that I'm too uneducated to see.
You probably have not tried too hard? Misspelled CloudFormation hints at it. Btw, ECS is as good as k8s, more integrated with AWS and way simpler.
Thank you. A decent RSS reader is one of the few things keeping me from switching back.
I have wasted a lot of time trying to develop people that are content. I tried to invest in them because I wasn't where I wanted to be and was unhappy with myself so I thought everyone was unhappy. I've realized that many people in my immediate network don't know what they're missing because they don't know what's possible. So instead of focusing on my own race, I was lugging dead weight across the finish line while people were stopping to ties their shoes or drinking water. I was moving about unsatisfied until I found startup school and see that I could bumble around in the dark until I find success. I wasted a lot of time preparing for success and researching and planning. I wanted to "get it right" but I had no barometer to measure success.
No we should not. We should be expedient and expansionary in space not stiffing any opportunity with any unnecessary rules. After a thousand or few thousand years when there are plenty of humans out there laws will automatically follow. For instance if someone wishes to do research to create animals that can survive on different planets to genetically engineer bacteria to do the same we should not get in their way.

The only downside of such thinking is whether we can trust what we engineer for out there not to contaminate our planet, which is a much bigger issue / risk.
That’s just an ebook, though.
I read much slower than I know I can, and slower than other people I know. Typically if I'm not just searching for information I'm thinking deeply about what I'm reading, and in the case of novels I'm enjoying it as an experience like watching a movie or traveling. Or, I'm re-reading pages because my mind wandered :)

That said I know I can speed read and retain information even if I'm rather rusty for things outside of information lookup/skimming. But I find if I speed read and can recall information about it that doesn't mean I've developed any insights or enjoyed what I read as an experience.
A Burnt-Out Case (2006)
In my experience, its best to drive the discussion into technical areas that are so interesting that the interviewer runs out of time to ask their dumb canned questions, including the "tell me about a time" questions (and hopefully also the whiteboarding questions). For example, if there's a new or emerging tool or technology that you're familiar with but the interviewer doesn't know much about, try and drive the discussion in that area. They'll likely be very curious to know if the new tool/tech can be useful to them, and will want to know all about your experience with it, giving you a chance to brag about areas where you're strong (or at least, stronger than them).
For a while, I was writing up bullet-point summaries of the books I liked best. Haven't been able to keep it up, but I think it's the best way to really crystallize the learning.

Ask HN: Usability bottleneck for dApps and how to solve it?
I'm all for replacing all the network application with dapps, but in my opinion the bottleneck for wide acceptance of dapps is that you have to always keep your identity and secret key safe (in Blockstacks's case) and if you lose that, you lose everything in the app. This is not convenient for older people or for much younger people who could easily lose those information or anyone who is not very careful. Currently as we use normal apps like social networks, ride-sharing services, etc., if we forget the password or anything, we have our email address to fall back to, but in dapps I (noob here) don't know if something similar exists.

How the community is tackling this problem? Is there already solutions out there? (I should note that I'm not targeting Blockstack by any means, this might also be the case for other platforms like Ethereum and other sites like steemit)
What is the reason you think it should be more than a civil matter? It's certainly not obvious to everyone.
This seems a little too cynical and reactionary for me. Are we to simply resign ourselves to the societal and legal infrastructures we exist in and which our tax dollars, labor and existences support becoming creeping authoritarian dead without freedom? Should we be okay with letting any such "membership" applications becoming inexplicably opaque?
So, you can find zero studies at all investigating the relationship between RSI and keyboard cleanliness, but you will actively shoot down anecdotal evidence even though you have no harder evidence with which to rebut it and the one pertinent article you can find is an extreme example supporting my opinion that some keyboards are shockingly disgusting.

Truth and Lies About Why We Buy (Book Review)
Haha, I noticed that in the paper as well. This is really impressive, they implemented a RISC-V 16-bit processor using carbon nanotubes. Running at 10kHz, sure, but it's still a pretty big deal since I haven't heard of anything I'd truly call next-gen happening to transistors... hmm... actually possibly ever. Just iterations. Clever iterations and amazing process engineering, but not totally new like this.
I found journaling useful when I was younger, and developing my first pass of thinking loops and algorithms.

As I've gotten older, I have found that I can do the same work faster just in my head. I've spoken with others who feel along similar lines. I don't feel that I've fallen off a horse, or atrophied any mental muscle. I simply think that journaling served its purpose at the appropriate time, and I have since moved on to other techniques.
There's an interesting correlation to information theory and compressibility. Someone did an analysis of pop lyrics[1] where they compressed the plaintext using a lossless compression algorithm and determined that (as expected) many pop songs compress very well and are highly redundant. But taken another angle, this could also represent that we as human beings find lyrics which have high degrees of self-similarity with small amounts of variation to be pleasing to the ear, which tracks with what makes pop music (which must be singable and usually danceable to go viral) successful.

This is written there:

But not because of concerns about RSI...

Please explain to me how I should interpret that if it isn't a dismissal of the idea.
You are paying for a bunch of other people who used their ER but didn't pay, while the gov still forces the hospital to treat them.
People get fatter as they get older, usually, so you would expect people to be thinner when they were over 30 years younger. Assuming the difficulty has remained the same.
Same here. I've been living with a partially torn labrum for a long time now and seems like outside the occasional flare up with pain that I can just treat with some ibuprofen, I am functionally fine. I am going to avoid going under the knife as much as I can.
This is a good point. As I've gotten older, it's gotten way easier than it used to be to work with complex constructions in my head without needing to do it in writing -- at least with things that I've practiced quite a bit and have a base level of competence with.

I still find that this is not always true with new things that I learn. In contrast to when I was younger, the learning new things part happens less and less frequently, to my chagrin.

How is that better than just renting out the next one with the fewest rentals? Maybe it's easier to pick at random than to track an order? But then the randomness is for ease of implementation and not a fundamental part of your solution.
Oh man, I would have killed for this when I was in structured products trading at Goldman, the spreadsheets that we were using to keep tabs of positions were beautiful and insane in their complexity and in their raw, insane abuse of VLOOKUP/INDEX/MATCH.
