Yes. This is standard functionality of every corporate email system for auditing, liability, security, and many other reasons.
This comes of as self-conscious, FYI.

FWIW, I've worked with numerous "high-level developers" who were quite fit. Not all of them had 19" biceps like this guy, but they were all pretty athletic. I'm talking a former pro cyclists, a jujitsu coach, someone who competed Iron Man competitions well into his 50s, an ultra marathon runner, a parkour gym owner, a pro tag player (yes this is a thing), a competitive TKD sparrer, plus lots of people who work out everyday just to be healthy. My last job had a team "strong man" board where people would post up their bench/deadlift/squat numbers.

It's pretty common for great developers to have interests outside of computers.
Thank you for your responsiveness on this.
I would find a better authority than 'youtube doctors' for the health of anyone you love. Some are great, but all are in it for attention. The ultimate motives of many online attenion seekers, no matter their profession are, lets say, unclear.
The main criticism I see here is that without prolonged testing it's very possible for a piece of equipment like this to do harm to a person.

On the other side I see people saying that for those that can't get a ventilator and are going to die anyway, why not use it.

I'm curious if that category of patients exists though. With Covid are doctors able to make that call at any point? I've heard lot of Hail Mary treatments criticized because unlike in the movies there are many ailments where there's not really a clear point where someone's not coming back.

Anyone know if it's a common scenario with this where a doctor knows someone is def going to die but there is still time left to do meaningful treatment?
1. I personally find it easier to work on things I'm passionate about. So I think you need some kind of motivation to keep you going. It could be that you want to show it to your friends, or it could be you dream the possibility of turning it into a business.

2. You mentioned that you'd like to learn a lot more on languages and frameworks. Presumably you need to actually do something relatively substantial with the language/framework to learn it to a reasonable level? So for me personally some of my personal project I did were purely for learning. I think that's another motivation that can keep you going.

3. You talk about finishing project. I don't know if any project can be "finished". So I think it's okay to recognize that you want to leave a project in a particular state and move on and not feel too bad about it.

"Sorry", huh? Right.

Fauci is a professional. That's why he's actively correcting what Trump says at every opportunity. He's downplaying that he's correcting Trump--but he is, and it's necessary, and it speaks to the complete mindfucked stupid coming out of the White House and it should alarm you a lot more than what you're handwringing about throughout all of your comments.

Stooging for these dirtbags will not look any better in the light of history than it does in the light of today. Stop.
Two of three is meaningless without a good measure and a complete list. I could have added the WHO or others. Also, it's not just about staffing.

Also, I'm not saying anything about the US monitoring Chinese disease outbreaks. The failings of the CCP were in fostering a system that punished and hid early warnings of a novel coronavirus. I'm also not saying that other institutions don't have similar issues.
This is the equivalent, in proportion to her total wealth, of the average American donating about $350. Good for her, but is it really newsworthy? Let alone hacker-newsworthy?
This basically adds no value. Looking at the GitPod introduction video here https://medium.com/gitpod/gitpod-gitpod-online-ide-for-githu... can somebody explain me how it is different from me cloning, making changes and creating PR.
- Github by default shows diff in a wonderful way to reviewer.
- Every project has its own customized way of deployment.
- This is just a UI version of cloning, comiting and creating PR. Like GitHub Desktop.
- Other than that the editor (Theia) can be simply replaced by a terminal and an editor of your choice.
If you travel by train or other form of public transport then yeah but not if you take your own car, given that half the airbnb checkins I did before the pandemic involved zero human interaction arranging this shouldn't be too difficult.

I'm assuming that people moving in to shelter from covid19 are doing just that - rent for a month and longer and keep the same precautions as they would in a city , wear a mask and gloves to the stores and keep 2m+ distance. Obviously if somebody takes it as a good time to do Hadrian's wall trail with a different Airbnb every night it's a bad idea.

> These small towns would be otherwise shielded from the virus if it wasn't for people from large cities trying to escape there.

This is a terrible assumption to make in the first place and I hope nobody in decision-making capacity in those towns is in fact making it, the added risk to town people should be minimal because no additional interaction should be taking place. And if the town wanted to otherwise avoid lockdown or keep its pub open but won't because of airbnb-ers then it's probably a net win for the town.

And how many vacant houses does an average country town have anyway so that airbnbs are a risk of stressing the infrastructure ?
Chinese timeline: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kO5EXjFKE7U

The guy may be a bit biased towards China, but all of that should be verifiable information, so if there's bias it will come through via omissions, or cherry-picking, or playing up insignificant events.
My answer takes from the Feynman approach to problem solving: have several projects laying around that you could easily pick back up to work on a little bit. The progress may not be constant, but it builds over time.

This is a variation on the parent post's suggestion of picking a project you can finish in three days. I find that task can itself be hard, and is work that gets in the way of the fun work. In the past I've burnt out my excitement while trying to do it.

So I have 5+ small games, a game engine, an interpreter and a compiler, a few short stories, some music projects, a personal website, some art projects, and several books to read, and most aren't done.

When inspiration strikes, e.g. I'm feeling musical, I open up my music folder and click around a bit. Or if I feel like making a game, the first thing I do is go play one of my existing half-built games, and pop open the editor. It is helpful here to leave things in a working-ish state and keep ideas around in text files about what you could do next. Make picking the project back up easy for yourself.

I do also start new things or decide not to come back to old ones, but I wound up here by realizing that my interests aren't actually infinite. There's only about a dozen distinct things I really want to do and periodically get excited about.

For years I had been starting and then totally dropping projects, but I had "started making a game" a hundred times. My plan became to treat random projects like turning a ratchet, and I feel it's gone great from there.
My problem is quite the opposite. I am able to finish a side project but I lack ideas.

How is that tendonitis?
I have no idea, but here is some speculation:

- perhaps Haskell programs end up being more feature-ful within a given bug budget

- perhaps Haskell induces more logic bugs, because it is more alien to the regular way of thinking

- perhaps the vast majority of NPEs are actually logic bugs, so that preventing them through the type system does not actually significantly reduce the number of bugs

- perhaps the study had some flaws in how it was counting issues

- perhaps some or all of the above are true, in various proportions

I don’t hate Visual Studio or Eclipse IDE’s

It is just that I have always done a different style of coding for over 20 years. More focused on text editors (BBEdit, Sublime, VSCode, vi, etc) and supporting command line tools.

I have seen the power that my IDE colleagues have for their use cases.

But honestly, I think many of us text editor focused developers where very skeptical of Visual Studio Code due to its VS branding. For myself, I don’t see Eclipse’s brand any better or worse than Visual Studios.

Admin here. Of course you can. You should always assume you can.

Even if I couldn't read the email (which I can, but fortunately have never actually had the need to or done so), I can always reset a password and gain full and instant access.

You should always assume your employer can see your enterprise correspondence. G Suite or not.
one theory I had -- I wonder if doing SSR makes it easier to emit results one by one as they come in vs. an AJAX request where normally you don't get anything until you have the whole response body. Thoughts?

What is any of this based on? I could just as well say that the Haskell software we have in production has essentially never had a bug over 3+ years of runtime, despite being a complex, high-performance, heavily multithreaded service. But I wouldn't expect you to take that as a universal accounting of the language's relative strengths and weaknesses.
Contact tracing in the workplace with wearables
Under what laws would it be illegal? I think it is completely reasonable for a company to have access to all data on company-provided accounts, so long as the employees aren't mislead into thinking it is private.

can you point me to an article from NPR which was downplaying the outbreak?
In my industry it would be explicitly illegal not to log and monitor all employee emails when they are using a corporate email or a personal email if that personal email was used for business purposes. This is by design and not contradicted by any privacy laws.
Also likely illegal in most of the world.

Where "likely" means "I'm not a lawyer so I'm just guessing here" and "most" means "I read on HN that Europe likes privacy."

Didn't know about this process because you'd never want to do it with anything you're going to add yeast to.

I've done a fair amount of experimentation on on bread making, and a very important step in bread making is autolyzing[0] the flour and water (letting the flour and water rest for a period after combining them).

However, the only reason water temperature matters in autolyzing is because you want an optimal temperature for yeast at the end of the autolyzation process[1].

More likely, what matters more is not the temperature of the water (assuming distilled, pure water, not subject to local tap water differences), but the time you let it the flour and water autolyze. My suspicion is that even though tortillas don't involve yeast, autolyzation is still important for optimal results.

NINJA EDIT:

Interesting, after doing some more research, I discovered boiling water is actually used to gelatinize flour--resulting in much more elastic dough, as you specify[2].

Of course it's possible. You can always do something better, faster, cheaper, with more accuracy, precision, style, etc.

There is R&D in the tools used for hairdressing (scissors, chemicals, hairdriers, chairs, hairwasher chair), just as there is R&D in shaving tools (even if it's just adding one more blade, or using a better battery for electric ones).

Automation will eventually eat the world, why would hairdressing and shaving be the exceptions? Maybe that doesn't count as technological advancement strictly in those fields, but it'll certainly have an effect on those markets.

> If large hairdressing technological advancement was indeed possible then why hasn't somebody done it yet?

There's always a first. And likely it will come from some unexpected place, enabled by either some very general change (automation) or from some obscure thing.
Stackshare – Find the right developer tools and the companies that use them
"The buck stops here", said someone.

That someone was Harry S. Truman, who succeeded Roosevelt during WW II. And was succeeded in turn by Eisenhower.

I randomly picked up https://www.amazon.com/Where-Buck-Stops-Personal-Writings/dp... in a used bookstore. I'm glad I did. It is Truman's take on every president up through Eisenhower. Truman was known for his blunt language, but even he asked that it not be published until after he and his wife died.

I don't agree with him on many things. But his take on leadership is very enlightening.
Each such VB-influenced tool all had their weak points. But overall they seemed moving in the right direction as each vendor learned from each other's mistakes. Power-Builder's difficulty in code share-ability was a specific design flaw of the product, not of the general concept, and perhaps fixable on a later version.

As far as most business software being "simple and boring", I wouldn't necessarily call it "simple", for the domain rules can get intricate. But it doesn't need buzzwords like blockchain web-scale AI or what not.

Desktop GUI's reached a pinnical around the late 90's and web UI's still cannot compete on simplicity and functionality. DOM-based emulators tend to break on browser version updates. We need a dynamic GUI-over-HTTP standard to allow us real GUI's on a browser or browser-like interface. Something like YAML, but more interactive. #MakeGuisGreatAgain!

Everyone on this board lives in a tech bubble.

Do you remember the first time you discovered you could swipe in from the right in windows, or down from the top in android to access hidden functionality? Or the magic swipe to go back in the browser? Have you tried accessing the internet from small rural town USA? If you leave the coasts there are places you can't get cell service, much less blazing fast cell based internet from a rural provider. Those coverage maps the providers show in their advertisements are huge lies. Modern web UI's don't tend to run great on HugesNet, or single bar 3G.

That is just the tip, UI's have majorly regressed from the time period of the original iphone. Go to the local senior citizens home and give a bunch of them modern android/iphones and see how many can figure out how to add a contact, or send an email. Worse companies like consumer cellular have a section for flip phones. Not that it is really bad. My mother has one and likes it more than any smart phone, but its limits her.
Not my comment, but exactly my thoughts:

AI is a buzzword with no meaning behind it used by every idiot that runs a script on a big CSV file, so far outside of IT it can't be any less of a meme. I can already see them "analyzing" these "top 10 compliment beast" listicles and creating "sex in a bottle" and it's going to be Secretions Magnifiques II.

Because every time I log in to Google with a web browser, no matter what device I'm using, it pesters me to install the GMail app on my phone because it's "better" and "safer" and "more secure."

One of the most fascinating people I had the good fortune to cross paths with while living in the Bay Area was a women who worked as a _very_ high end scent consultant. She'd routinely fly across the world to figure out how the various areas of a new Four Seasons or some such should smell before it opened.

One of the more interesting engagements she told me about was to figure out the best smell to be used in olfactory warning systems for loud underground mining environments. If you're wearing so much PPE you cant hear anything, apparently pumping the smell of gag inducing rotting cabbage is the most sure fire way to ensure everyone in the mine knows to get out _now_.

Access for auditing and security is not only legal but actually required in many regions.

Even editing is allowed (automatic disclaimers, file scanning, data loss prevention, etc).
If they come for the isolation they should isolate themselves in rural America just like they would in the Urban one, re. hospital capacity - if the amount of refugees will be so significant so as to overwhelm rural hospitals by itself then the urban hospitals would already be over capacity so the overall population risk should still be reduced.

The rural environment is more protective to the extent it reduces density and contact, its hospital capacity is not inherently reserved for the local population any more than the city hospitals are reserved for the city residents and if other arrangements are in place incoming people should be advised and take it into their calculations. Combined with the general effort to bend the curve the ability to wear- level geographically is a plus not a minus. Frankly I'm surprised there aren't massive medical airtrains being planned to carry patients from overwhelmed hospitals to more coping ones.
Most of my peers have gotten around to gettng a second phone to not have to keep up on what the current rules are regarding what is and is not private on a device used for work.
Sell defined risk credit spreads 30-60 days out on underlyings with high implied volatility where the max loss is a small percentage of your bankroll. Buy them back at some percentage of max profit (50% is a good general rule). Read or watch videos until you understand why this is a good starting point - there's tons of resources out there.

Yes, brokers are idiots who think defined-risk spreads are more "advanced" than holding the bag for premium decay and not even knowing why you're losing money. Sorry.
Also, Google Chat doesn't have a mobile web version. If your company uses it you'll probably have to choose between allowing the company access your phone, or limiting your Chat usage to computers. For me the latter was an easy decision, also helps to draw the line between working and time off.
I know that in some parts of the world using a work phone or work email for personal use is protected (I think it is a little silly, but not a big deal), but that's not quite what you sound like you're describing.

I'm not at all sure that I've heard of many places where your employer explicitly ISN'T allowed to access employer provided resources.

If that were the case generally I'm not sure how anyone would even provide security or etc.
Except we are still doing all those things. Maintenance[1] is happening. Factories are working. Food is being grown. Truckers are still hauling.

Read the shut down orders issued by your state. Read the list of essential jobs listed in those orders. All of those things that you listed are essential jobs, that are still being done. If your factory makes masks, you're essential. If your factory makes screws that are used in a factory that makes masks, you're also essential. If your mine digs up iron ore that goes to a smelter, that goes to a factory that makes screws that are used in a factory that makes masks - you're also essential.

Yes, this means that a lot of people are essential. But even halving the number of person-to-person interactions the average person has leads to a big reduction in transmissions.

Yeah i'd also go with unity as a 'low-code'-tool -- not just for the visual-scripting part, but also for the ability to easily add custom editor-tools for every workflow there is and therefore adding just more "low-code"-Tools to the game. We have about 100 custom tools in our studio -- often not more than a few lines of code, but our level-designers can script their own behaviors on top of that. I'm still waiting for an open source tool (not even focused on games) that incorporates code, data and ui this beautifully^^.
