Thank you for that feedback!

I purposefully didn't provide any solutions in that blog post because the entire point of the blog post is for a team to figure out what works for them, in their context, culture, and constraints.

There are lots of different workflows:

> Feature branches

> Merge to Master

> GitHub Flow

> GitLab Flow

> GitFlow

I've also seen weird mutations where each developer reuses a branch and just does new pull requests from that an nukes the remote each time. it's problematic, but some teams swear by it (they also don't do any pairing or code reviews by pulling down branches).

This isn't the first time I've heard this bit of feedback, so I think i may put together a blog post on the different styles and their uses (and limitations). But again, it's up to you and your team to figure out what works in your culture, context, and with your constraints.
> Any secure encryption is going to result in ciphertext that is indistinguishable from random data.

While that's technically true it feels a bit like a moot point because if you have random data that cannot be attributed to any other application (such as large volumes of randomness) then it's a reasonable conclusion that you've just detected an encrypted volume.

> In a case where the government is demanding that you release your encryption keys, you would give up the keys to the "fake" volume. Unless you divulge the keys to the "real" volume, the attackers wouldn't necessarily know that it exists.

Unless they inspect the storage properties (either physically or how it registers itself on the host) and see that it's a 1TB drive with only a 500GB mountable volume. Again, it wouldn't be a forgone conclusion that the individual has other hidden volumes but it would be suspicious enough to warrant further investigation / interrogation.

As always though, it really depends on the risk level you're trying to protect yourself against.
From the article: The test is paid for by the government.

It’s the ancillary hospital services that cause the charges. If you go to a hospital, you have to pay for the usage of the hospital. This is billed to your insurance.
Oh, and

>I also highlight that in this context the most interesting thing about blockchains is that "Openness and interoperability have become more important than decentralization".

The most interesting thing to me about "blockchains" is how the hype train is still limping on, after almost zero actual delivery of anything useful or world-changing. I expect it to continue to lose steam, as all the pupported use-cases turn out (as they all have so far) either to be some sort of impractical techno-utopian dream, an unnecessary complication where a database works just fine (better in fact), or an outright scam.
Some seniors get exited by that crap as well.

Tech lead in my team is full of common sense when it comes to not getting exited by JavaScripts framework of the season. But he loves to add new tools to the back end. He is choosing the "best tool" for the job, but we have a small team and already have way more things than we can comfortably manage. Good enough tools that are already in our system would be more pragmatic.

Yeah, the original story is only somewhat misleading here. They had to get tested because of possible COVID-19 exposure, and doing so did cost $3000.

The real problem is that healthcare in general in the US has absolutely insane costs, not something specific to the coronavirus.

Pretty much couldn't really care any less about most art. It's just some paint on a canvas or a statue or whatever.

Some people say they are emotionally moved or mesmerised by the beauty etc. Sure I can appreciate it is a skill etc etc, but I don't understand the emotional reaction people say they have - I just see a "thing" like I see advertising boards on the street as a "thing". I wonder sometimes if people just say this stuff because they think they are supposed to.

I believe that selection is the reason why Danish book stores struggle. They try to present the same best sellers as the super markets, I assume because it's a safe bet.

At the same time I'm pretty much forced to buy from Amazon and buy books in English, because only the most popular books are translated, and primarily fiction. I don't get the impression that the bookstore really care to sell a larger selection of books, just more copies for the same 20 best sellers.

I just edited my comment and removed that part. As an active HN community member I shared my feelings here but never said that all the HN community was anti crypto. I said "mainly" because I see a shift to the anti crypto camp. I can obviously be wrong but it is based on my cognitive device reading thousands of messages for years.
To be fair the healthy percentage depends on other variables. If there is enough of a "bulk discount" and it doesn't depriciate or obsolete the 17% may be smart compared to the alternatives.

The supermemo article is here:

In Point 1 he explains you shouldn’t use spaced repetition to learn. Use it to remember.

In Point 10 he covers how to remember “enumerations” (with an alphabet example)

You have to go back to the classics when you want to do something properly.
The answer is...who knows? All of the surrounding care, from visiting the hospital, the battery of tests to eliminate other illnesses, and the test itself are the product of some opaque, insanely complicated exchange between the individual’s insurance company and the hospital’s pricing.

In Germany I think the test is free if you show enough symptoms and had contact to an ill person or you travelled to a sick area. If you do not match those criteria but still want to be tested them the test costs 500. My company covers those second scenario for free.

Just going to be a bit nitpicky here. Noun declension is a feature of various non-slavic languages, including Latin which English speakers have a decent chance of having been exposed to.

Modern Russian has 6 cases (with a couple more that pop up very rarely) with 3 genders and singular/plural endings. It's a total of 36 possible combinations, which is not that bad. Masculine and neuter also share most endings so there aren't actually 36 unique ones

Probably the most difficult thing about cases when I was learning Russian was remembering which verbs took a different case than I would expect, e.g. dative instead of accusative for what seems like a direct object.
>letting underbrush accumulate increases chances of severe events by 400% YoY

It's interesting you use this example because this has been covered by the RFS - the period during which hazard reduction burns can be safely done to clear the underbrush is shrinking because the fire season is longer and winter is shorter. They can only do those burns when it's both safe and not raining, so a change in climate can indirectly impact the severity.

Even if most exchanges are shut down and the price crashes, the network can't be undone, in that, if there's demand, it's sufficiently resilient to continue to exist. For crypto to function as currency we need it to be at least somewhat stable. We currently have that. We also need to be able to exchange it, which we also have. Remember that decentralized, anonymous and trustless crypto<->fiat exchanges are possible, like Bisq https://bisq.network/
The real problem is that people are choosing to believe sensational headlines instead of doing their own research.

I’m seeing a sharp increase in the number of young people who don’t understand how their own health insurance works. They just assume it’s awful because that’s what they read in the news.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to tell people that generic insulin is actually only $25/vial at Walmart instead of the hundreds to thousands that they read about in the news. Yes, it's not identical to the newer, longer-acting analogs that cost more, but it's an effective option for those who can't afford the more expensive versions.

This kind of thing is actively driving people away from taking the 10 minutes to understand their health insurance and seeking proper care.

> I have a huge Zettelkasten note archive (I manage it through Sublime-Zk, which is getting a bit slow to operate it). Can I somehow directly import all my Zettel notes?

You can import the markdown files as notes, but it won’t maintain the linking. If you send me a sample I can look into adding a Zettelkasten specific importer.

> I tried to import my Anki cards, but it seems like while I could go through them, I couldn't assign them to any particular deck/reclassify them. They show up as part of a "Not Found" deck and I don't see any option/drag-and-drop method to move them anywhere else.

Sounds like the importer derped a bit and couldn’t find the deck associated with those cards. If you send me the .apkg file I can take a look. Anki’s data model is a little weird and there’s probably some edge cases I haven’t accounted for.
Any, if they would really want the data.
Whenever you go to a hospital it's impossible to tell what the cost will be. Literally, my doctor told me before my operation "I have no idea, probably whatever your deductible is" when I asked the cost

I've done that living in the middle of Minneapolis. Half of my back lawn was prairie "garden" and corn and a good portion of the other half was a vegetable garden. The only issue I ever had with neighbors was one concern that my water garden was breeding mosquitos. It wasn't: fish did a good job of seeing to that.

I imagine Barnes & Noble could become a much more interesting place just by letting any staff member who wants to have free reign over their own end cap. The least common denominator, barely-more-interesting-than-what-Amazon's-adventures-with-linear-algebra-can-manage spreads that they place on their end caps right now aren't doing it for anyone.
Its really far too late for that. They are trying in NY (they made it free) but you can't undo decades of societal conditioning so fast. Not to mention we probably needed to get ahead of this three weeks ago since the incubation period is so long. Folks w/ symptoms have been for sure avoiding testing over the last couple weeks.
I think the panicky aspect of the story is completely valid, people won't get tested for COVID-19 alone, they will have to pay for the ER or the person coming and the precautionary measures, and the other tests. The details are wrong but the spirit is substantially true.
> Well, I suppose this one is correct if you consider dropping even the tiniest part of gitflow as completely abandoning gitflow;

Thank you for that feedback.

It's important to note that my blog post rails against Git-flow as described by that blog post, not necessarily as practiced by teams. If teams drop the problematic parts of Gitflow, of course they'd be able to use Continuous delivery!

But the point of Git-flow is very much to not practice Continuous delivery (the textbook example; again if someone practices what they call CD but it isn't what the textbook says "Continuous Delivery" is, I can't help that.

> See gitflow as a starting point, not as a silver bullet. There are no silver bullets.

Now you're getting to the crux of my issue with the original (has since been updated) blog post. The Gitflow the OP described is problematic for all the reasons I laid out in my post (And more that I didn't list, that others have captured in the comments). It necessarily stands to reason that if you don't take gitflow at face-value, you'll be better off -- but that's not what I'm arguing against. I'm arguing against practicing Gitflow as laid out by the OP.
I do think privacy is still an option and see no evidence to the contrary. Of course it should be applied to officials in public service in their function. Not their private lives.

Because anyone with a hint of a brain should be able to extrapolate the negatives of such surveillance on their lives. We played dumb long enough on that topic.

If you are not up for that, ok, but you also should not work in a capacity that has any access to private information.

If there are companies or people regularly ignoring privacy, which still is enshrined in most countries laws, severe penalties should be applied. That is also true for the executive branch of government, which was severely neglected the last decade because of fear.
That's why TrueCrypt, and I think Vera Crypt have support for a volume that can be decripted with two keys - one will yield a decoy volume where its free space is actually the real volume that you want to protect which gets decoded only with a second key

I'm not sure if the entropy analysis of that free space can suggest that there's something funky about that free space or not..
Because usually free space is either actual info just marked as deleted, or info reset to zeros by some pro active wiping of the free space.
So, having a bunch of whacky data that doesn't look like any kind of file, can probably be used as a tell tale sign? No?
I would also assume the ‘dummy’ operating system wouldn’t have much activity. Since the user would be using the hidden OS. So that coupled with the unaccounted for space would raise more flags.
Good job so far, it feels very lightweight and simple. It works well with different input devices, but the accessibility for screen readers could be improved:

* The first day immediately gets focused when opening the datepicker. It might be a bit confusing to just hear a number.

* There's enough space to spell the months in full.

* Use semantic abbrevations for weekdays, e.g. `<abbr title="Monday">Mo</abbr>`.

* Use `label`s which refer to the corresponding `select`.

* Use `table` instead of `div`s for the calendar view.

* Use (hidden) text instead of the `title` attribute in buttons.

Furthermore:

* Try using more unique classes for your elements, e.g. '.aeon-datepicker__select' instead of '.select'.

* `cursor: pointer` for buttons would be helpful to see how large the click area is.
TIL: on-call doctors are not employees.
Does it make a difference what exactly is causing the costs? If you are broke you can't afford to be tested and you will continue to spread the virus if you have it.
Why exactly shall I hold my USD funds in USDC instead of just, you know, US Dollars?

That just doesn't make any damn sense, whatsoever.
I believe Truecrypt supported a feature where different passwords would unlock different partitions in a volume. So someone could ask you to input the password for BadBoy.tc, and if you enter password1, then you get say the data they actually want. But if you enter password2, it mounts a different part of the file which gives the appearance that you unlocked the whole thing. So, you could stage a dummy partition that has false but convincing data and hopefully fool any captors.
Sure the test itself doesnt cost $3000, but you will be out around that much money if you go to the ER to get tested. The article about the guy in miami didnt even include a COVID-19 test and he was still billed $3270
Don't take the laptop with you.

At this point setting up a secure connection to a device in a secure location is way easier than trying to protect your data against someone with physical access.

You can also get your collaborators to revoke access if you fear you might be 'compromised', although ultimately it's hard to protect a system against yourself.
That's just an average deductible, too. If the cost is $100,000,000, they could still say "effectively charge patients who go to the ER $1,000 or more.” and not be wrong.

It also doesn't include the cost of coverage. I have a healthy friend under 40 with a healthy family, and he pays $1200 every month, with a $1,500 deductible.

So, if you pay $18k per year, it might cost you $1,000 or $1,500, but that still doesn't tell us how much it costs for a person to go to the ER and get tested for Covid-19.

For an accurate assessment, they need to report the cost for an uninsured person, or report the total that's being billed to the insurance company.
Thanks for these pointers, very useful indeed - I'll look to address them in the next update.
This was in response to the parent comment that "bright colors are used to distract from complexity".

The article associates "flat design" with childlike, but does not provide any reasonable argument for this association. It is simply an emotional reaction to a new design trend.

There are some good points about gamification and cartoon mascots, but its hard to separate from these unbased ideas about style.

I am sharing your sentiment but not 100%. My point there was different, and I highlighted that was an irony: now we have a way to interoperate with less friction than banks or other financial institutions thanks to a new infrastructure. This infrastructure could not be a blockchain and can be a better technology based more in typical federations and less on BFT like descentralization.

Yeah, is it baseless to believe that the hospitals are not charging 3k for a test? When they charge for stuff like this, they inherently try to cover their ass and overcharge to cover other related costs they can't put a price tag on.
Right, and evidently covid19 test was just one of 22 other tests, who knows what the price of each was. It’s possible 2-3 of those cost 400 each, a dozen that cost maybe 100 each. I can easily see someone in a tight spot saying ‘let’s skip the three 400 dollar tests’. This is a wild way to sincerely provide healthcare.

It is worth considering the cost, yes.

My time isn't so optimised that 15 minutes each day on Anki is otherwise going to be spent on deep work.

http://augmentingcognition.com/ltm.html
This writeup estimates his usage of Anki is 4-7 minutes of review time for each card over 20 years. So, if it's worth taking 10 minutes to remember a fact, it's worth putting in Anki.
(This writeup also explains it's not worth putting things you don't care about into Anki).

Anki seems well suited for domains where you need to quickly access facts from a wide domain, e.g. vocabulary for language learning.

It's harder to see as important for programming. If you're programming you'll be able to recall the things you have experience using.

That would be your out-of-network deductible, since your anesthesiologist is guaranteed to be out-of-network.

Yes, there are some methods to provide more computing bang for less energy buck, but this is a comparatively minor issue.
