It's just one example of a heart-related effect, that's all. Considering that we're all here reading another hypothesis that this is the first-ever respiratory pathogen to infect the heart, it doesn't seem that much of a stretch.

We totally should research whether fear can lead to physical heart damage, but I would bet that "stress in general" is the source of this damage, not only emotional stress. See:

Politicians lie, so get over it. And honestly, I don't care if what he says isn’t accurate all the time. I care that he is doing what is best for the United States. And for the most part he is.

The most significant aspect of the article is that The Atlantic, a left-of-center news publication, which usually doesn’t agree with Trump on anything, agrees with Trump about China. That is not something that happens very often.

I have tested this service from AWS

with friends n' family but haven't used it for production. It looks pretty complicated, but I think you could find a script somewhere that packs up your video properly and uploads it, you could get it down to one step and probably make it easier to upload than Youtube in the long term.

I think the biggest reason why Youtube wins is being free, plus also being a big community with a lot of discovery. AWS does not have a minimum so it is better than fast.ly in that respect.

This is something I would be very interested in.

I think that the combination of an array language (like APL or J, but smaller like K) which intrinsically incorporated geometric algebra so that concepts like complex and imaginary numbers or trigonometry are not essential, and a minimalist artificial language like Toki Pona, would make an excellent tool for communication of technical concepts.
Ship early, ship often. Ship a version you are embarrassed by and try and convince some people to use it.

I've had far too many side projects which languished in the "it just needs one more feature..." zone. My productivity with side projects shot RIGHT up once I learned to avoid this.

Remember: if you are disappointed that your project doesn't do something you had planned and you ship it anyway... no-one else will ever know!

Perfect is the enemy of shipped.

Scientists could use our poop to predict coronavirus outbreaks
It said “Continental” as the manufacturer on it. If I had to guess, I would say it was the reservoir for their adjustable height air suspension.
let me preface this by mentioning that i havent been tested for covid-19.

two weeks ago i've been having real issues breathing. it felt like my upper body was borderline paralyzed and i had to really force myself to fully breathe in. this wasn't constant but happened every day for several hours each. especially at night.

i got worried that i might have the virus so i checked my temperature and oxygen blood saturation as well as my pulse.

temperature was fine (36.6°C-37.2°C), blood saturation was in the normal range, however it dropped from 97-100 when i wasnt having any issues to 94-97. my pulse rate however went from usually ~75-80 to >110 whenever i had breathing problems.

it went away last week.. or so i though. i had another episode of that this morning, it was only for 3 hours today, however. it seems to be going away, but if it actually was (or is) the virus... it seems plausible to me.

but i'm a person without any medical knowledge so ... listen to the people actually treating the patients, not random armchair specialists like they're frequent on hacker news -- especially in threads about covid-19.

Anectotal evidence but the only time I fought regularly about chores in a long term relationship, it only started in the fourth year of our common life and clearly was a proxy for more deep seated and complicated issues with the relationship.

I will hazard than most of the time when people really fight about chores, the actual problem lies somewhere else.

Cogent and Level3 weren't filtering their own customer. This is what happens when large companies say prefix list updates / validation is too much of a burden and allow customers to run bareback BGP. That said, Cogent is going to be doing RPKI on customers soon so that's good.

As for Level 3 the world wonders.
yep, that's the kind of mistake that a human can catch... remember some of those errors are inserted at the transmitter, some along the channel, and some at the receiver. If a receiver is going to get great accuracy, it has to catch errors introduced anywhere!

> I prefer not to talk about my future dreams for a project.

I feel this way as well, but my reasoning is different. I do much better work when I feel like I don't have to do something, but I can choose to do something. I've almost always done more efficient work on my own side projects than on the things I've been assigned to do.

When I talk about an idea that I haven't really built out yet, it creates a sense of obligation to do that work. That sense of obligation makes me not want to do the grunt work required to get the project done. I do better if that obligation is all internal. In that sense, writing in a journal about my ideas and vision is much more beneficial to me than talking with people about it.

That said, I try to be careful about recognizing when I do need to talk with others. If I went too far in the internal approach, I'd end up doing years-long projects without ever validating that they're meaningful to other end users.
I read this somewhere that, instead of focusing on "what to do ?", shift your focus to "why do you need to do it ?". If you focus on the why and can convince yourself on the importance of it, maybe it would get done. On the other hand, if your "why" is shaky, then most probably somewhere in the back of your mind it's marked as "not important". It's like one of those things that you just want, but don't really "need", so no wonder you lose interest pretty soon.
I'd suggest you try spending a little more time up front defining the what and why of the project before you start. If you don't define what winning looks like ahead of time it's easy to quit 5 minutes in when you're confronted with making tradeoffs but, don't have any context to under-pin those decisions.

Additionally, don't start with big hairy audacious side-projects. If all you've ever gotten to with one project is two days. Define a project that will teach you something that you think you can finish in three days.
Isn't IKEA currently closed in most countries?
With regards to point 2, I seem to remember reading once that if you allow yourself to think too much about success in the future, it steals away your motivation to complete the task in the present. It gives your brain that satisfaction without actually having succeeded at anything, and then you stop trying because you are no longer motivated.

"Thus, a predisposing genetic background can give reason
for interindividual disease susceptibility and/or severity"

I have not seen any good demographics breakdown of coronavirus deaths other than age/sex and even that requires drilling into some of the different data sets. We have been told repeatedly that age is a factor. We now know that co-morbidities such as obesity, heart disease and diabetes are also a significant factor. Why the public is not being informed of all contributing factors is concerning. If I was in a group that genetically was more likely to experience severe to lethal results I should know that.

We love to explore various user experience flows of top-notch products and thought we would share our learnings with fellow makers. We thought what better way to share than to take snapshots of various UX components. We also tagged them to make it easily searchable by elements like cards, tables, signup forms, etc. You can search for your favorite product to get some inspiration from their flows. We have also curated multiple insights under our story section for onboarding, signup forms, signup buttons, etc. Looking for feedback!

Free PR nothing else (and nothing wrong with that). Those engineers didn't call up the marketing/pr dept and ask for a professional video crew to show up - "cause we just want to share an update with the world".

Thanks! It doesn't have tournament mode yet. But looks like this is the most requested feature so far. I'll consider adding it soon.
I've had lots of ideas like that, things I'd like to do which I never get around to. The one I did go through with and still keep working on it on and off is the one that had a connection to my job.

I worked on a very concurrent system and thought maybe STM would be a nice fit for it. I found the concept of STMs very interesting. And I noticed that, although there were many implementations for .NET, all were one-off projects, not maintained, and in my opinion not very nice to use. So I ended up writing one myself.

I guess that sweet spot for me was having a problem that I dealt with on a daily basis, which gave me the drive and a clear picture of what I'm trying to achieve, and the fact that it was a fun challenge to implement and a learning experience related to a concept that intrigued me. The other ideas I had would mostly have just that second part - they're fun, challenging, but not really solving something I deal with too often.

So, I don't have much experience, I don't have many side projects, but for what it's worth, my advice is to try to find something in your day-to-day which bugs you, and for which you have some interesting idea that you'd like to experiment with.
That works automatically!

1. During the lifetime of a websocket connection, bytes should be routed to the same Hasura instance. This most service routers / load balancers should take care of automatically.

2. Subsequent connections from different clients to Hasura need not go to the same instance! This makes horizontal scaling painless.

(Is this what you meant?)
It's funny, we're not even really disagreeing with each other. The difference is I don't see government (academia) as sources of funding any different to a corporation: both sources create an incentive to huge bias, spreading of disinformation and other problems. But too many people and especially journalists like to pretend that getting your money from government grants magically makes those problems disappear. They're willing to criticise work by corporate scientists who may have an incentive to find a certain outcome, but not academics who have just as strong or even stronger incentives to find certain outcomes.

I suspect it comes from academic propaganda about 'free thought', being able to pursue any line of questioning they desire, etc. It's obviously not true. Academics find it impossible to reach a simple conclusion that's reached all the time in the corporate world: "we don't know the answer and cannot know anytime soon".
Thanks tyingq! I removed AppMaker and added Knack (which looks awesome btw). I decided against Quickbase because I want to focus on non-enterprisey tools and focus on products that are more friendly to small businesses and solopreneurs.
You can get the numbers and do the math yourself, and prior to effective mitigation, the growth is exponential. There are policies that do have a mitigating effect, and that is the point. The mitigation of an effect does not mean either that it did not exist in the first place, or that it is not relevant.

Traveling is literally one of the worst things you can do in trying to reduce transmission, especially with what we know about people being asymptomatic. These small towns would be otherwise shielded from the virus if it wasn't for people from large cities trying to escape there. They also don't have the infrastructure to support the influx of people.
First of all congrats of mental fortitude to do 1k squats/burpees. That's quite insane. May I offer an opinion here - doing 1k body-weight squats is like doing 'hello world' 1000 times and trying to progress in programming :) Bigger ROI if you fill up a backpack with books and do 100 of them from strength, time (and probably endurance) perspective.

Yes, all the time, the time left for coding after work is very little, family and friends always take priority.

Some of my hobby coding projects are more than 10 years old by now.

The only ones I managed to stick all the way to the end were side projects that had a real customer at the end, so I had to actually deliver, or face the consequences of having someone really unhappy.
This part I actually don't think is that complicated. Only one of those bank accounts paid a tax liability or received a tax refund last year. The same one will receive this direct deposit.
IKEA's not closed here. And they still have delivery services and now they have an option to pick up your order from the loading dock.
Indeed, all what I saw in last few weeks on other side of the Pacific were not advancing past what Chines factories without any prior health device engineering experience were able to come with in the first month.

To add to that, most of those factories don't even have real engineers with 6 years long education.

I think this is the best proof to the immense potency of Ctrl-C & Ctrl-V approach to doing things. America is loosing a lot by shying away from it.
Sure I can source this. I didn’t mean the data retention laws, but meant the government’s black box that a mail provider needs to put besides his mail server. Actually what I need to correct is the number: it is needed only for more than 10‘000 users.

This box resides in the mail provider's network and used as a secure communication bridge with the government: If a judge requires the provider to start the surveillance of some email account, then the provider needs to transfer those mails onto the black box, which transmits it further to the government agency.

Your ENT saw a tiny fraction of that.

Ask HN: Why does Google use server side rendering for search results?
I've been wondering this for a while.

My thought is that search results could be rendered faster using an SPA-style setup as the rest of the page wouldn't have to be reloaded, yet Google Search still uses server side rendering on their results in 2020.

Is there any particular technical reason they are doing this?

My thoughts on possible reasons are:

* they want to support browsers that have JavaScript disabled and/or older browsers / TOR

* legacy reasons -- their whole infrastructure is designed to deliver results via server side rendering and it would be a pain to change it

* they are in general afraid to make sweeping changes to google search (don't fix what isn't broken)

* some interesting technical advantage of server side rendering in this scenario over client side rendering that I am unaware of but would be curious to learn about

A portion of the IPs hijacked had ROAs.

The real question is how many networks doing RPKI Origin Validation (OV) weren't accepting the ARIN TAL (ignoring ROAs from ARIN) due to their license to provide them indemnity. Remember that RPKI validators require a network to manually add ARINs TAL.
Can you explain how exactly it is “dangerous”?
That didn't explain the energy difference.

The on-time power is identical in both cases.

PWM has more capacitive-switching energy cost (in wires and it gate cap), and crowbar current. But I'm curious how much of the total energy is due to these transients, because LEDs burn a ton of power. Is crowbar/capswitching 50% 90% 1%?

Now the hardware to compute the binary signal is the same as the PWM because you still need to subdivide the clock and count to know how many phases have passed to pulse at 1, 2, 4, 8ms, etc. This is typically done with dedicated hardware (the Atmega has a fairly unsophistcated PWM compared to TI, ADI or STM). Ideally you want the PWM to use the IO fabric to DMA the data, and not have the CPU twiddle GPIOs, that's a sledgehammer approach.

Also, the PWM rate is not fixed, it does not have to be 256 pulses. Depending on the hardware it can go from Hz to MHz (it impacts responsiveness). But that is a function of the MCU, and Atmega has fairly coarse adjustment for the PWM modes.

Ironically, the point of PWM is to actually save power.
Game quality is of course subjective, but if you think BOTW was average I have no idea what you think an above average game is... Maybe saying it wasn't to your taste (too easy or handholding or something) would have been more accurate.

This is the real problem.

SEO will always be a game of cat and mouse. The original algorithms were designed to surface useful content relevant to the search query with the limitations of the technology at the time (so they could be gamed).

Nowadays technology has improved and processing power is much cheaper so it should be possible to use machine learning to recognise what’s “good” and what’s SEO spam and thus get ahead of the SEO crowd again.

The problem here is that the spam sites are also the ones with ads (often Google ads), so there is no financial incentive for Google to actually do anything about those.
