I also often wake up before the alarm, and the delta is on the order of tens of seconds. I'd say I definitely get to become fully awake and start thinking about the upcoming day before it rings. Apparently, just a matter of quite a precise internal clock.

Another situation when it can trigger is when I brew tea. I like a "reproducible" brew, so I'm used to setting the timer to 3:30 minutes after filling the cup with water. When I then go do something else and become engrossed in it, I'll often suddenly realize "Oh no, what about the tea?" I then look at the timer and see there are 5-10 s left.

MFA is always better than single factor. At the very least it makes drive by/automated attacks significantly harder. Everything you read about SIM jacking and the like is at bare minimum, much harder than hacking your password.
Our two dogs seem to do this. They sleep in our bedroom. We get up at 0500 to walk them before going to the gym. Usually we're up before the alarm goes off, but not always. If we sleep until the alarm goes off, typically around 0458 the dogs will be up and standing next to our bed; they shake their heads around so that the sound of their ears flapping will get us up.
Yes, but to do good version control on code based systems you need to version both the code, and the data being run through the pipes.

While there are lots of good tools to version code (git etc), and lots of tools to version control data (bitemporality being the usual requirement), does anyone know a tool which allows you to do both, at the same time?
Excellent idea. Might also help against the bot issues. If we could just turn off the visibility of non-verified accounts (or better still, make that the default) it seems misinformation would be a bit harder to spread.
I mean, we've thrown tens of billions at that problem and don't have a good solution beyond "chips with consistent hot spots array their transistors on a 2D plane, and even then you have to play games with turning parts of the chip on and off to keep it from melting itself".

If you've got a solution that's manufacturable, I'm all ears, and so is every fab out there.

One question I really hope we can answer someday: exactly how little gravity do humans need before it becomes too "micro"? Can humans stay healthy on Mars? On the Moon? On Ceres or Enceladus or Pluto or Charon or yet smaller bodies?

But yeah, I don't think "surface area" is the right angle to look at. More like "volume within a sufficient depth". A lot of (most?) asteroids and comets consist primarily of water ice, and water happens to be pretty darn good at radioactive shielding, so if we build habitats inside the asteroids we'd have a solid chance of significantly addressing that particular hazard (and also have plenty of water for drinking / agriculture / fuel).

Yes, I believe this is the same phenomenon as the "long second", where you glance at a clock and it takes longer than your perception of 1 second for the clock to move, then it ticks along normally. This is because the brain noticed you changed your view and didn't want a discontinuity in processing so it makes itself think that there is a fraction of a second more of the initial image. (or something like that, probably more complicated.)
Not sure about Sporklenz but yes IPA70 is referring to an Isopropyl Alcohol solution of 70% isopropyl alcohol. Higher concentrations are also effective but above 75% you risk burn or excessive drying upon direct skin contact. FWIW, a 99% concentration will very quickly pick up atmospheric moisture and stabilize closer to 96% in all but the most dry of environments.

This definitely does not abide by the requirements of an open source license[0], particularly the discrimination against persons/groups clause. AFAIK, no license that mentions not using the code for "evil" has ever been accepted by the OSI.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for vaccinations, but there are definitely interactions with religions that don't permit vaccination (e.g. [1]) that mean this license is definitely discriminating against particular groups. I should hope the OSI doesn't accept licenses like "the MIT license, but people who practice Jainism and Zoroastrianism are disallowed from using it".

I think a problem with this analogy is you are comparing children not dying from a disease they do have to an airplane which doesn't have the problem you mention.

Lets square up the analogy. So there are 0 deaths for children that get coronavirus, and about 1/5 of the cases have been among children.

Planes crash, and out of all the planes that have crashed about 1/5 of the passengers were children, if 0 of the children died would you interpret this to mean children can't die in plane crashes?

And yes, basically I would interpret it that way if it were true.

Ok, maybe I can make it closer to your analogy:

There were 0 deaths for children that get caronavirus, maybe you think children are much less likely than adults to die if infected? Planes crash, if the A380 has never crashed despite millions and millions of miles in service, would you interpret that to mean that an A380 is much less likely to crash than other plane models that have flown a similar number of miles and had a bunch of crashes?

Again, yes, that is just how statistics work.

Is that wrong, though? I mean, confounding features like exceptions are... useful. That's why they found in languages in the first place. They're just footguns when used "wrongly". So why not have an "escape" hatch for experts that isn't part of the standard/official/blessed paradigm of the language?

I mean, isn't this exactly what Rust did with unsafe? Warn everyone away from it, promise that "normal" code will never need it, but... include it in the language and use it pervasively where needed in the inner workings of the runtime?

You are arguing against a point of view that you made up by taking a statement out of context. That is wholly dishonest (and/or lazily indifferent to raising more noise).

The discussion is about verified identity and what that means. Whether you think it is valuable to discuss the finer points of my family with someone (lets say... pretending to be my grandfather) via a twitter blue checkmark is irrelevant to the discussion.

I think you might be reading an unintended meaning into that sentence. I'm talking about the experience of using Go vs. what people write about it, not about your experiences with other languages (which I have no intention of invalidating). I was pointing out that sometimes one can get a skewed perspective of the typical experience by reading blog posts and things (which by definition are written by the more vocal members of a community).

I did use Go professionally for about five years, and read lots of criticisms of it (and still do out of curiosity). Most of them struck me as just not a big deal in practice. When I had to write some list-processing code that could be greatly simplified with generics (a few times per year), I just sighed and typed it out and moved on to a more interesting thing. When I had some repetitive error-handling code, I refactored it or wrote some helper functions. The dependency stuff was annoying when starting a new project, but once you pick a dependency manager/vendoring tool it's fairly straightforward (and of course now this is included).

Certainly, the language and ecosystem has warts and frustrating things. Maybe Elixir has fewer warts, I don't know. But overall the experience of using Go is fairly smooth and boring and productive. The things that people like to complain about don't really register in day-to-day usage. That's not BS, that's my personal experience.

There is no evidence for reinfection, people assumed it was that, but according to specialists it's more likely it works the same as with other viruses

"THREAD/1: We saw now several reports of reinfection and I wanted to talk a little about that. While immunity induced by SARS-CoV-1, MERS-CoV and human CoVs is not very long lived, an immune response is typically induced and antibodies persist for 1-3 years."

"2) Now, there is evidence that people with COVID19 mount an immune response (e.g. https://medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.02.20.20025841v1). That makes re-infection, especially short-term extremely unlikely. What is more likely is, that the patient is still shedding virus but some of the tests were negative."

"3) Follow up tests can turn positive after a few negative tests, e.g. because sampling was better. Also, and this is a very important point, just because somebody still tests positive in a nucleic acid based test, does not mean they are still shedding infectious virus."

"4) E.g. Measles RNA can be detected for months in patients, long after infectious virus shedding has stopped. This is also the case for other viruses. And I think this is the most likely scenario here."

I think you are taking common idiomatic English and interpreting it as though it is meant to be precise.

"Not at risk" does not mean 0 risk, it means negligible risk.

For example, if I was standing on a cruise ship, am I at risk for drowning? Not really, it's extremely unlikely that I would drown. Could I drown? For sure, I could fall in the ocean, or in the pool, or pass out into a bowl of soup. Despite the nonzero possibility of drowning, if someone saw me on the cruise ship waiting in line for the buffet and yelled "be careful, you are at risk of drowning" at me, I would think they had lost their mind.

Ask HN: First hire offered to work part-time – what should I do?
We are a startup making our first hires. We are three founders, who respect each other hugely, help each other and forgive mistakes. We've been thru a lot together.

We raised money and are looking for core hires. Given our personal bond, we would like the core team (first 3-4 hires) to share our passion to some degree. Perhaps naively we'd like them to become pillars of our company and help us inspire future employees.

A former colleague of mine came forward, very bright and capable guy. Exactly the technical talent we need. He likes the project, but he offered to work three days a week for us because he would like to continue working on personal projects in parallel. While I appreciate his honesty, I cannot easily decide if he is the right kind of first hire. Had he joined us a year later, I would hire him in a heartbeat. But right now I feel like lack of commitment from him could possibly influence our culture in a negative way. Is this a right way to think about first hires? What would you do?
This is you, right?

I really enjoyed that story.

I had a random question about this: I remember Crash 1 had a password-based "save" system where the player could skip ahead to a level if they entered the password for it.

Was the creation of that system motivated by the as-of-yet-unsolved memory card bug? Or was it just standard practice to support players that didn't buy the memory card? I can't remember many games using something like that, but it was a long time ago.

> We should also strive to reduce the amount of time PRs sit in master without being live.

Simplest solution at the scale and level of reliability that I've had experience with is to effectively say that master is what's live. In other words, a merge to master triggers a deploy under normal circumstances. It'll save you a lot of headaches. That plus one command/click deploy last known good build and feature flagging all major updates pretty much removes the whole deploy process as a significant failure risk.

I won't disagree that readers might make a leap to intuit the author thinks Rust is overall better. But that extra leap doesn't mean he failed to show Rust was better at a particular problem. In fact, that is WHY people would make that un-warranted leap.

> But the point of the article wasn't to compare languages, it was to show the kinds of problems exposed in Go when it is used in massive real-world systems.

I mean, not really. Cross platform file manipulation is, maybe not common, but not obscure. And making a web request reliably is also not something you'd expect to be only needed in massive systems.
My US company has instituted this policy, and it's highly encouraged to work from home if you're not feeling well for any reason.
Agreed. It's often said that being a solo founder is harder than having a co-founder and you'll face more challenges - fundraising issues, heightened stress, knowledge gaps, etc. And those are pretty true. But all those problems pale in comparison to the ultimate problem, a broken co-founder relationship that can't be repaired because you never had a strong connection in the first place.

It's certainly possible to "force" a co-founder relationship, but you've gotta be prepared to spend a lot of time making sure it's the right fit. Unless you have a pressing reason for finding a co-founder, that time could probably be better spent building or selling instead.
