I have been through the same situation and dealt with it in the same way.

It’s actually a very interesting and “easy” situation to handle if you are more outspoken than not.

Communicate everything in writing, even after a voice conversation. Answer only the questions you are asked. State that you will do as told but also mention anything you don’t agree with (in writing) and ask for specific directions. Halt work at every possible point and raise questions at every single possible deviation from the original direction. Don’t solve any problems on your own.

Eventually this person will either fail by directing every single task on his own or will give up doing it because of the amount of work it takes to direct someone when you are micromanaging.

I usually use my supervisors strategy against them. If they ask for documents, I bury them in paper work. If they micromanage and don’t listen I do exactly as told even if everyone else knows it won’t work.

This is a game of patience and people are not stupid. They will see what’s happening.
We've been seeing these models pop up for more than a month now, do we have any hindsight on the accuracy of earlier simulations?
The money flows can't be the same overall when lots of people aren't working. No matter how you make decisions, someone has to be worse off from the loss of the value their work would have produced.
Yes - of course. Tesla and GM shouldn't even try to help out because obviously they will build the wrong thing.

What BS. Take your cynicism elsewhere. You literally are the living embodiment of my point above.
Some comments are so stupid and off-topic, example https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22766042, a simple downvote is enough. Engaging in a reply is IMHO just feeding trolls who are trying to be edgy/funny and not add value to the discussion. "He's the one" (in the example), the reply to the "He's the one", the reply to that reply for example. Same for "+1", "LOL" and other one word exclamation comments. Looking at your comments, like "That will touch off the hoarding of kitty litter!", the downvotes are IMHO justified and I'd like to see less of those. I'm kind of saying they're a hint on the quality of said comment.
I used to be a lot like this too. Eventually I got tired of it because I felt like I never had anything to show (mostly show to myself and feel proud of).

For hobbies/projects where the goal is just to unwind and enjoy myself, sure, I still do this. But that's often still not satisfying to me. I started making the intention to just complete the damn thing, even when it wasn't fun anymore. Motivation is hardly worth anything tbh. I used to only work with motivation, and while it felt good at the time, nothing ever got completed and I probably felt how you do a lot of the time.

Second, learning is hard. If you think you're comfortable with a new language, framework, whatever.. but you lose steam when working on whatever your building with it, you might not know it as good as you think you do. It's a lot easier to keep steam when there aren't roadblocks, but when you continually come across roadblocks, it just doesn't feel like your moving towards your goal with much speed. But this is generally where the learning takes place.

And I've also seen, finishing one project to completion makes it a lot easier to finish the next project to completion. It's a skill you have to learn (to do a personal project even when it's not fun, and there's nobody telling you you have to do it)

tl;dr: for enjoyment and relaxation, don't finish projects if you don't want. For learning / creating, make it the goal to finish and know that it'll probably be not fun sometimes
Launch HN: Wesat – Client Management Software
Hi all, Kash, Gifton and Milad here. We're building Wesat, a client management software for small businesses. Wesat is our attempt at making a simple CRM for small businesses: https://wesat.io

We started our first startup, Wesaturate, almost 3 years ago. It was a free RAW and JPEG sharing website that become very popular. We were all new to the startup world and never thought about how we were going to monetize it, pay for the server bills, or even deal with the scale. Needless to say, we had to shut down because of all of those reasons (I wrote a blog post about that here: https://wesat.io/blog/weve-pivoted)

Our users were almost exclusively photographers. We noticed that a lot of them were asking us for some advanced feature like keeping track of their clients, communicating with people who download their photos, and even running their whole business there. We all knew that CRMs existed for photographers, but the fact that so many asked us, a photo-sharing site, for those features, we felt like there was definitely a market. So, we set out to build Wesat, a CRM for small businesses that's not super dumbed-down like a lot of photography CRMs, but also not very complex like Salesforce.

With Wesat, you can generate proposals, questionnaires, contracts, change orders, and invoices and send them to your client. You can share a portal with your client as well where all of these documents will be kept as well as any files that you share. All of the messaging is handled through email, so your client will never see "Wesat" branding. You can also handle payments online, manage your payments/expenses, create workflows, and more.

The first three clients are free. Let us know what you think!

--

Ps: What a time to launch a company geared toward small businesses, right? We've been working on Wesat long before COVID-19 started, but now everything has changed. If anyone has tips on how we can manage in these times, please let us know.

Indeed, that's why I called it an optimistic extrapolation. (Maybe I should have said over-optimistic?)
From the article:

Patients who had heart disease before their coronavirus infections were much more likely to show heart damage afterward. But some patients with no previous heart disease also showed signs of cardiac damage. In fact, patients with no preexisting heart conditions who incurred heart damage during their infection were more likely to die than patients with previous heart disease but no COVID-19-induced cardiac damage.

Isn't it likely that the patients who had no preexisting heart conditions actually had undiagnosed preexisting heart conditions?
This happens when you know little and yet you aren't aware of how little you know.

As a kid I self-learned photoshop and always struggled with coming up with projects to do with my knowledge.

Little did I know photoshop is a tool, not an end.

Web development is a tool. If all you know is how to hit with a hammer, it is pretty hard to make good use of it. You need to learn how to build a house, then your knowledge of a hammer will become a useful tool for accomplishing a well defined task.

Knowing how to build a house is much more difficult and isn't a 'side project' for most people. Hence the solution to your problem is realizing how little you know, how much it would actually take to create anything remotely useful, and moving on to learning something easier that'd have an actual impact in your daily life, such as exercise, a new hobby that'd foster new meaningful relationships, etc.

One last thing - if your motivation for a side project is money, you're kidding yourself - just go enjoy your life :)
The only difference in power consumption is in the reduced toggling of the IO pins and the reduced effort of the CPU (but that's assuming the CPU will downclock or downvolt automatically, which is unlikely for a microcontroller.)

In an LED panel, the vast majority of power consumption is in lighting up the LEDs.

Well, except there's a big issue here, which is that Tesla can really only manufacture from parts that Tesla has, unless there are clear parts availability that can be quickly ramped up and delivered to the specific factories and in the form those factories can use.
This might be one of those scenerios similar to what's currently happening with PPE - where we just have to use uncertified equipment because we have nothing that is certified left.

Like many others have pointed out, if the option is this uncertified machine or certain death - which would you choose?

Actual proper testing and certification would likely take years - and we need them within the next few weeks.
Hmm, what I liked about sublime was that it was fast and let me do text really fast too.. other than that it got out of the way.

Everything I need is on Ctrl+p or Ctrl+shift+p.

vscode is like sublime to me, just seems the language completion got useful.

I don't really see how the Switch is a good case of this lateral thinking, nor withered technology. They just got nVidia to make them a powerful gaming tablet, something nVidia was push hard to sell at the time. In this way they were able to continue to dominate the mobile market and hedge their console strategy.

No portion - the relevant law simply imposes a fine. In this case the Federal government seized them under the Defense Production Act and will reimburse at market value. There’s multiple overlapping laws and authorities working together in this case.

Agreed. If anything the people I’ve noticed fleeing the city are young and relatively new transplants, or the wealthy with summer homes. I’d wager that the fair weather New Yorkers will be the ones that might end up leaving permanently. Maybe some of those are older people, but probably not disproportionately.

I’d rather the author spend time thinking about what the city could look like as we come out of this to yield a better future for the city. For instance, let’s finally hand over some streets fully to cyclists, so more people can feel comfortable using bikes as a serious mode of transport. Let’s stop subsidizing luxury apartments and malls throughout the city (looking primarily at you Hudson Yards). Can we make it so the trains don’t break when we do need them, so we don’t have to pack shoulder to shoulder on the subways all the time?

Life is definitely going to be different in the city, but I’m not mad if my neighborhood stops being a shopping mall for European tourists and can become a regular community of New Yorkers again.
My experience with SalesForce is that it is way more complicated than a simple CRUD app.

"They have no motive to supply false data, and lots of reasons to make it accurate."

They are working with garbage data. They know this. They admit it. Then they rationalize that they can invent real data out of it. And as an exercise that is okay -- they state exactly what they are doing with very limited, poor data. They haven't claimed it was more than it is.

This is not the canonical statement on death rates, and compared to actual emerging data is completely irrelevant.

"are also authors of the Imperial study that has significantly influenced the UK government response"

The catastrophic and flippant UK response? The one that thought they would obtain some "herd immunity" by doing nothing, and then realizing cases were skyrocketing mimicked what other countries were doing? That UK?

This is not a compelling claim.

That's certainly a factor, perhaps the largest factor.

Ok but why would I do that? The whole idea of a backup is that I can... go back.

Do other apps launch from backups like this? It’s very strange.

My expectation is that if I want to go back to a backup I have to restore that backup first then run the application. Executing from a backup is surprising and frankly difficult to reason about. What version is even running? How would I know?
From what I understand the pain scale is used only relatively on a per patient basis. So a 5 for one person is their 5, but not a 5 for someone else.

You're delusional if you don't recognize that this was a mass failure throughout the width and breadth of US corporate and government administration. Practically no one at federal, state, or local levels took any initiative to prepare. Same across the medical industry. Same for manufacturing - not a single company thought to ramp up mask or ventilator production when we've been hearing about this since January.

It's popular to hate on the president but needlessly political to place the blame solely on his shoulders. And at the risk of posting flaimbait, note that Trump made a very early move to close the border to Chinese travel, and was met with condemnation of sinophobia from high ranking Democrats (like Schumer) and media.

This is one of those "stupid" comments IMHO. See how there will always be someone that is rubbed the wrong way by someone else's opinion. Someone may or may not reply to my comment but will most likely downvote it due to them agreeing with you for some reason or another. I agree with the OP a response is warranted. Unfortunately a response alone does not guarantee a rebuttal with a solid reason why they disagree, but would slow the easily downvoted comment without some sort of rebuttal.
Find a problem in your life you can improve/solve with software. Then work on that.
Tesla has partnered with Medtronic to increase their production capacity (https://www.massdevice.com/tesla-to-reopen-new-york-facility...). So Tesla isn't approaching this as a hackathon project, they've partnered with one of the biggest medical manufacturers who no doubt are offering their resources and expertise in this field, something Tesla obviously has none of which shows that they're trying to prove their serious about helping out
I have pretty much no knowledge about statistics and surveys but it is my understanding that it doesn’t matter how much you try to quantify a subjective question it will always be a “snapshot” of people’s feelings without any objective way to verify it.

It also seems like this is not a problem and people will still use this to make decisions. Example: politic polls, president approval ratings, etc.

These are all subjective measurements that are somewhat actionable based on “feelings”.

For the pain scale it doesn’t seem like it makes sense to rate it at 1-10 rating and I think about that every time I pay a visit to the doctors office and they ask about that. My guess is that they are not after the objective number, but the subjective information they can get from the number you give + how you behave.
Ha, okay, just for some light-hearted context: it took me several decades of trying so many projects to finally find one and stick with it: web development. Now I'm a gainfully employed web developer and DevOps engineer, and a great load has been lifted off me. I am 15 years behind some of my peers but I no longer stress about finding that one project I'm gonna stick with.

So yeah, I've found my way out and here's my advice: it's a numbers game. Keep trying things. Even if you try to make a roguelike for 5 minutes and move on, that's a valuable lesson. Now try 100 more things and you might stick with 3 or 4.
Hear hear. There are FAR too many "look how I modeled the data" things out there that are both super-optimistic and super-pessimistic. It's great that people are interested in modeling data, but it's far too easy for folks to think they are sound models and read more into them than they should.

Heck, just yesterday someone started replying to a FB thread of mine with a bunch of Excel screenshots saying how things will be, and when questioned about how he came to that his sole response was "it's just math".
Find something you want to do personally and do it. If It will follow you around and demand you work on it when you should be doing something else you found it.
It really does. I don't often attribute major changes in the economy to a sitting president. But after dismantling and shunning half of the security apparatus, and not listening to advisors, this is what we get. He single handedly dismantled the CDC when he became president [0]. He routinely doesn't listen to his national security advisors [1]. If we just had started social distancing 2 weeks before, we would be in an entirely different situation.

I would actually argue that a dictatorship is better in extreme situations than a democracy. Democracies are slow, dictators can produce edicts in a moment. Even the US has tricks to become an approximation if a dictatorship in times of urgency, with marshal law.

You don’t put quarantines to a vote, you quarantine.

Democracies are good because you need a lot of people’s buy-off to do something and in the general case, that’s a good thing. In the extreme case, it’s too slow.

I don't know if most of the blame should lie solidly on Trump, but I think that we shouldn't focus on him so much that we lose sight of others that helped cause this mess including

- The Chinese Communist Party

- The FDA and the CDC

My personal practice has always been to not directly mention the names of my current clients, except for government entities. You just never know what unforeseen effect it might have.

However, I sometimes get outsourced to from ad agencies, and after the NDA, expires, I will add that work to my portfolio. And after a client has not been with me for two years I will add them to my portfolio.

I will definitely use logos. That’s never been a problem.

I recommend it if possible. I had such an amazing experience living there. It's funny, I never miss the US but I always miss Mexico.

I mostly lived in Mexico City, but I've traveled a lot around the country and spent time living in a few other cities for shorter periods of time. I've probably seen more of Mexico than 90%+ of all Mexicans.

Some of the best food I've ever had was in a small Pueblo (town) called San Sebastián del Oeste in the state of Jalisco. [1] It's a small "magic town" in the mountains in Jalisco. [2]

Most of the best food I've had in Mexico was not in the big cities but in the small towns. Especially, the family-owned places where there's an older Mexican lady cooking up food. Cliché but true.

For customers / clients the companies I worked for always asked.

I only know of some picky folks who said no, it was probabbly best to find that out first.

Amusingly for sales stuff that showed competitors products we of course didn't ask ;) I actually got some legal-ish messages via LinkedIn asking me to take down the competitor information... I suspect they contacted me as I'm the "front end" drone and they thought I'd respond quickly / be fooled or something (they didn't contact anyone else). It was sent by someone who was very much not a lawyer at the competing company.

Told them to take a hike after consulting with legal ;)
I've played most of those and BotW ranks right along with them.

For an initial experience, I'd say few of those topped that of BotW (Bioshock and Doom 2016 maybe, Morrowind and Kotor 1 Definitely).

Longer-term I'd say BotW ends up somewhere along the games you mentioned. Not as good as the best of them, but not as bad as the worst of them (Oblivion, CoD).

Anyways, definitely not below that list. And that's a conservative assessment, I'd say.
