The way I deal with this issue is by writing the idea down in as much detail as possible.

I find that the process of writing gets the itch out of my brain and also forces me to go through a planning phase before I decide to commit my time to an implementation.

For example, if I wanted to make a game I'd write down the main idea behind it, what game mechanics I would implement, how I would structure the progression through the game, how it relates to other games, any technical aspects that are relevant, I'd sketch out any visual details like a map, game ui, etc.

I have a long list of semi-developed ideas I stored as notes in Google Keep that has accumulated over the years - business ideas, games, tools, etc. I have written prototypes for some, which was fun.

I find that most ideas need to simmer for a while. I'll often go back to add more details to an idea, because I thought of something new. Those are usually my best ideas, but also the ones that require the most time.

I think you can assume they didn't change the diet too much, so before 1945, measuring the carbon in the bones(?) you should get a nice smooth exponential curve, and then a jump in 1945 [Is there a small delay?]. More details in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bomb_pulse

Very much this - I have very few finished side projects, but in hindsight I can track the course from even my first personal project in school to where I am today.

Sounds like more than joining a meeting you're not supposed to join (and share your screen). Sounds like actual hacking, like an actual crime.

But I'm on your site, if a student can hack the school, the school should be charged for having such vulns. Same logic on zoom: if you don't have a password / leak that password, it's no wonder that people join. If you design a system so anyone can enter private calls by guessing 9 digits, you're not making private calls.
> Although true, using it doesn't add anything to analysis of corona virus specifically.

The issue of exponential growth is of relevance in response to those saying that the number of deaths (insert the inplicit 'so far' here) is much less than from infuenza (annually.) It is not a 'fixation' to expose the irrelevance of that line of thinking.

More generally, the issue is a combination of the facts that this virus is significantly more dangerous, for all age groups, than at least post- Spanish Flu infuenza; it is very readily transmitted; and there is no (or much less) herd immunity. When you combine these fact with the math of exponential growth, and have establshed the doubling rate, you can do some scientific prediction that goes beyond "so far it has not been as bad as the flu", which is true just so long as it is, and no longer. To do that, however, you have to hold more than one idea at a time in your head.
Well, as someone who has met him several times I found him witty, kind, and a very friendly fellow.

A security concept so vulnerable to this should be the real crime. Kids like to troll, this has always been the case and will always be the case.
I am quite annoyed the internet culture is more and more invaded by these lawyers. The internet has always and should always be built on the concept that whatever can be exploited will be and the people who open themself to exploits carry the majority of blame. Maybe that's just my wishful thinking for a more wild west anarchistic internet...
> I don't think it is technically possible yet to filter out just the current ones, so instead Wikipedia is manually overriding the addresses from Wikidata.

Note that the historical ones are of “normal” rank, whereas the current ones have “preferred” rank. You can filter that when using the API, and when using the SPARQL endpoint, if you go for the “truthy triples” representation `wdt:P856` of the “official website” property, you will only get best-ran statements – in this case the preferred ones. If you want to be absolutely sure, you can go for the “reified triples” representation and query for statements that don't have any “end time” qualifiers.

Microsoft Edge is now the second most-used desktop browser
Why does the browser also using a lot of RAM mean VS Code should? Aren’t those different applications with different purposes? E.g., is it equally valid to compare VS Code to Excel or Photoshop?

The main problem with this argument is just a few years ago, before Atom and VS Code, most people were using editors like Sublime Text that use an order of magnitude less resources and are still significantly faster than the Electron editors. Regardless of whether VS Code is a better editor, or a better architecture, it's still an interesting question whether the dramatic increase in resources was necessary.

Yeah, it only takes into account whether one has preconditions or not, at the moment. The plan was to produce more detailed calculations, but it is difficult.

It's so interesting that people turn this into a political battle just for the sake of turning it into a political battle. From what I read and understand, the stockpile has less than 10k ventilators at the beginning. Food for thought: anyone trying to make stupid red vs blue state comments, Obbama was in administration during the last outbreak in 2007. The federal stock pile WAS NOT upgraded or expanded. The last expansion was in 2001 due to 9/11.

This article is a great example of federal stock pile ventilators being moved around the country:

The two ways I got started were:

1) open a Robinhood account with a small amount of money ($100) ought to be enough. Buy in and out of stocks every day for a couple days until you can get approved for their level 2 trading. Then, start playing with options.

2) Open an account on ThinkOrSwim and use their tools to trade a dummy account or use real money. The learning curve of ToS is higher, but it is more powerful

The fundamentals are pretty simple, but the strategies for combining simple elements can become very complex. The fundamental questions are: will this "stock" (you can trade options on other financial instruments as well) move up, down, neither, on both? To what extent? Over what time period?
Free market solutions break down when demand is inelastic. Governments are trying to prevent price gouging due to inelasticity. The root of the problem is supply, so stop the government intervention and you pay more money for the same problems.

Some studies already say they survive 7 days on masks, and a flight is only a few hours.

Ringing the bell and running is a massive adrenaline rush.

Trolling the teacher in school is just plain fun. I’m rolling with the parallels today, but again, it’s the same as throwing a paper ball at the teacher when they turn around to write on the board. Most kids in the classroom don’t do it, but it’s just a ton of fun because the teacher doesn’t know who in the crowd did it (and the class doesn’t rat anyone out). You effectively disrupt class for several minutes, and the majority of the class loves that. Same is probably happening with Zoom, the kids are deliberately sharing the links.

Now, if you’re looking for a answer along the lines of ‘are there particular kids that are hyperactive and lack impulse control’, you won’t get that answer from me. Most of us grew out of this by High School, and we’re all doing fine. But, you couldn’t take the joy of doing this stuff away from me in Middle School.

You set a preconfigured time - I think it defaults to 1 bar.

It takes some practice and getting used to, and obviously isn’t quite the same as being in the same room, but it works well enough to stumble upon some great serendipitous moments like any good jam session :)
This discussion was really valuable to see.

I started off with FastAPI, and it got me off the ground really quickly without a lot of boilerplate, and my API was mostly read only, internal, I didn't even bother with authentication at this point. The prototype worked well.

But then I started to add in all the grown-up, boring stuff and realized would have to do a lot from scratch. Now porting it to Django/DRF and the stability feels really nice. I kinda wish I had just started with DRF now.
Same here. I am in very similar spot like you, I start a new game/engine project every day and switch language every few days.

The best tip I can give you is to participate in competitions. Like "make a game in 7 days". It gives you a set timeframe and forces you to push the product into a usable/presentable state. Better to have few working unfinished games than many unfinished projects that aren't even playable.
Yeah, WebSockets would also work here -- I would need to invent an ad-hoc protocol for making the resource requests, and it would be similar to a mini HTTP/1.1 Pipelining in spirit.

You asked for studies but you're going to get a bunch of Medium blog posts written by tech-bros who've half-read, and misunderstood, a bunch of research that says that masks don't really do much to stop droplets getting in nor getting out and that masks are probably not useful to prevent covid-19

There's a delusional belief on HN that the only way people are infected is by breathing in droplets, and all the other routes (fecal-oral, ocular, hand to mouth nose or eyes) are ignored, even those these are probably the main route of infection.
So you wish that the digital world, a place where the majority of the youth are spending an ever-increasing amount of their time, to be subject to a culture we wouldn't tolerate in the physical world? Perhaps first define an internally consistent worldview. The reality is the internet isn't this blank space for hackers experimentation and exploitation anymore (used to be one of those kids by the way). It's becoming more and more integral to people's lives. It can cause real harm to people. It can even cause the loss of life. These things need to be taken seriously much more so than our childish notions of some anarchistic society of hackers and trolls doing as they please. Save that for the playgrounds and the skateparks. The real world works differently.
There's a term for this. "Victim Blaming".

Its also the same kind of excuses heard when a woman was dressing well and gets raped. Then the refrain is "she was asking for it", or "she deserved it with the way she dressed".

Notice that if a front door is unlocked and someone goes inside, its still trespassing. Just because its easier to commit a crime doesnt make the thing not a crime.

(Please note, that I'm making this argument in good faith. I'm sure many here have digitally trespassed on others' computer systems without permission. It's not "trolling"; its a straight-up violation of the CFAA.)
My way of overcomming this situation is to use the MVP process for my side projects: your side project needs to be as simple, as featureless as it possibly can, so it can be shipped to your friends quickly, before you get tired of it.

It has worked really well for me: simple projects are more likely to be finished, and when you show them to other people, their feedback/enthousiasm fuel your energy to add more features and spend more time on the project.

> There's an obvious limit to individual output, and his existing employees are probably operating close to that, especially since his business was already under stress.

I'm as big an advocate as anyone for sustainable work practices, and I absolutely agree that most of the time working longer hours is counterproductive over the long term. But isn't working on an assembly line during a crisis pretty much the canonical counterexample? Output scales linearly with time even if you aren't feeling creative/fresh/energetic, and there's an urgent need for more masks now.

Since so many people are sharing their story, I will share mine. 5-6 years ago, I started working on Typesense (https://github.com/typesense/typesense), an open source, typo tolerant search engine designed for speed and developer productivity.

In the past 5 years, my journey has brought me through my wedding, the birth of my first child, losing a loved family member, a job switch and so on. Nevertheless, it has been really great seeing the project gain traction and motivate me to keep working on it through the highs and lows. Everybody differs, but I think for me the following 2 things kept me going:

a) Pick a project that you are sufficiently motived.

b) Don't set deadlines but have a plan to work on the project everyday. One some days it will be hours, on other days it will be just thinking about a problem at the back of your mind for a few minutes, but the idea is to keeping at it.

Now nearly 5 years later, I'm still not done yet but I'm amazed how much I've achieved by just showing up every single day.
What If We're Waiting for Jonah?
Bose shouts down claims that it borked noise cancellation firmware
In my experience, bony fishes are not easy to date by counting rings. I tried it and discarded the whole work. If you find 20 rings, you can assume that the fish would have 10 years (one opaque ring in summer and other hyaline ring for winter), but unfortunately there are also bifurcated rings, disease's rings, fused and duplicated rings so your animal could have several false duplicated rings, and have only 7 years. In 200 thin rings your error can be awful.

To know the sex of the animals is also important, because females will produce extra hyaline spawn rings starting somewhere in their adult phase. And males... well, nobody nows. They obviously do not get pregnant but do the male whale sharks fight and stop eating?. Not to mention than some fishes can change its sex perfectly.

This with bony fishes, that have true bones. Big sharks are cartilaginous fishes. Cartilaginous tissue dyes badly and rings in its vertebra are less clearly marked. This animals migrate (vertically and horizontally). This means that would probably starve for long periods and then feast and that their vertebras would be subject to a wide range of pressure that could erase rings.

> So any animal that was alive then incorporated that spike in Carbon-14 into their hard parts

The key of the phrase is hard parts. They are looking at cartilage, that is not hard and is a very slow growing and inert structure (what if most of all carbone went to the muscle instead?). The only hard part in whale sharks is the tooth (1-5 milimeters long if I remember correctly). Those teeth are lost and replaced continuously so can't be used to age the animal. Even more, they are releasing carbon-14 at a unknown rate. I would like to see how they address this fact as source of error in their models.

I remain still sceptical when I read this kind of results. Tagging or photoidentification could help, but our best chance is with captive animals.
Sorry, this needs to be said: The only conspiracy here is this drivel here that you wrote. Fauci has repeatedly stated, and acted as such, that there is no divide between him and the president. Is it feasible Fauci does not like Trump personally? Of course. But we are adults, and we have to work with people we don't like every day and still be able to perform our duties. Fauci is a professional.
I'm also interested in this. Would be great to share some resources.

If you leave a door open in the "physical world", someone will enter. If you have easy to exploit vulns, you'll be exploited.

I tolerate that logic in the real life. Ofc the people who enter are bad, but there will always be bad people, so you're to blame for not protecting against them.
> This has nothing to do with following smartly it is about how the website is built. Even if you follow smartly, at best you get an unbiased news aggregator where you might as well go straight to the source.

Strongly disagree. From the consumer side, most non-technical people don't know how to set up "feeds" or subscribe to the topics they are interested in. Twitter allows you to do so, to pick the people that you're interested in following, and see what their thoughts are and what they want to share.

And from the publisher side, twitter has allowed various Health Care Workers to quickly get online and share what is really going on in various hospitals throughout the US. This would not have been possible with a platform that was harder to use.
It's still trespassing, but it isn't breaking and entering. Visiting a public URL isn't hacking.

I find it much easier if I pick projects that I actually could benefit from. For example I started working on a note taking app a little while ago, because I couldn't find one that I liked. I know I will probably not get a complete return on my time investment, but it keeps me motivated to finish since I know I can make it exactly how I want and end up with a product perfectly suited to me.

Nice to meet you! I am the first person you've met who has tried WebStorm but then switched back to VSCode!

I bought it and gave it a whirl, but I went back.

Mainly because VS Code is much faster, and has a more normal UI (native open/save dialogs, way way better file browser, etc).

Also because the development velocity seems much faster. Every single VS Code major update has goodies in it that I personally want (plus blah blah whatever that I don't) and they come out once a month almost!

But I am curious (especially since I do still have the WebStorm license) what are some of the "IDE goodies" that give WebStorm the advantage in your view?
