This is how I was with side projects for a long time. I'd get excited on a project, work on it for several months, then be lose interest and stop working on it.

I changed my approach after reaching The One Thing. It helped me set a goal (work on it until July no matter what, and if I don't get any sales, it's time to move on) and i've been working on it 2-4hrs a day.

Every since, September 2019 I've been working on (For A Piece)[https://www.forapiece.com/?ref=hackernews]. This has been the longest i've worked on a side project and I'm really proud of that.
Also there is a close connection between the heart, kidney, kidneys and other organs.

For instance, ACE1 and ACE2 receptors are involved in a complex hormonal system that manages your blood volume, blood pressure, etc. Antihypertensive drugs target this system at different points. (ACE inhibitor drugs such as Lisinopril target the ACE1 receptor and don't bind much to ACE2 at all)

Liver failure can present with symptoms similar to asthma because if your kidneys can't get rid of water, the water will leak out of your lungs.

I had a friend who passed away last year from a bacterial infection that got to his heart. We all have bacteria that live on our skin without problems, but if you get a wound they can get into your blood and go to your heart.

He had heart valve damage which is bad because if your heart valves work improperly, it can damage your blood the way you can 'damage' cream by whipping it. This can cause clots to go into your lungs or your brain with bad results either way.

He had open heart surgery but they had a hard time restarting his heart and he was in a coma for a few months before they removed his feeding tube.

One reason why penicillin was a miracle was that all sorts of people who got even minor wounds (e.g. soldiers, children, farmers, ...) would progress like that before WWII.

As the article lays out, it doesn't make sense to ramp up for a month when the demand will die down. The company can't compete in normal circumstances. It would make way more sense to simply gouge the 500x prices at the current capacity and wait it out.
If you're a practicing programmer you may want to use a theorem prover like Coq or Lean for a couple of reasons:

1. You want to verify your algorithms, data structures, and properties are correct with regards to their specifications. For example: an OS micro-kernel, verified compiler, etc.

2. You want to derive some code with verified properties or deeply embed specifications. A lock-free and fair scheduler, an algorithm for sharing data that guarantees it doesn't leak private information, a real-time control system, etc. For an example of such a library see [0].

If you're a computer scientist you're probably more concerned with the first and proving more of your own theorems.

If you're a mathematician you're (probably) more interested in new theorems (I'm not a pure mathematician, I can only speculate from what I've heard Buzzard and other mathematicians say).

Nobody who tries to shape public discussion is ever working in my interest. If a system is so fragile that it can't withstand people talking about it, poking at it, and suggesting alternatives, that system deserves to fail. The impulse to reach for censorship is the same impulse that has created historical abominations. I categorically reject all censorship, even of medical speculation.
Driving for hours in heavy rain results in pretty continuous actuation of wiper motors. I'm far from a mechanic but I can't say I've ever heard of a wiper motor failing either. I'm sure they have real data on it instead of this handwaving, but as an outsider I would be surprised if it was an issue.

Speculation lies half-way to understanding correctly any complex problem from all sides. As long as is filtered by logic and including the known facts falling in its place, speculation is a good thing, not bad.

Heart arrest can be also external (deliberate crime or medical error) so is important to discuss and understand any anomaly. Physicians and nurses are about at the end of their forces (and incredibly upset) in many places.
>Maybe I'm spoiled by Apple et al., but my Switch feels quite the opposite of premium in the hand.

The build system figures out all of this location information automatically based on the snippet markers in the code.

The code is pretty hairy since it's a pile of Python that sort of accreted organically as I was writing the book. I have been sorely tempted to rewrite the whole thing but abstained because I wanted to focus on writing.

The basic idea is that the build system walks every line of code. As it steps through, it keeps track of:

* What is the current source file. This is pretty easy to track. :)

* What is the current stack of snippet markers? The marker comments support nesting because it makes it easier to, say, introduce a function in one chapter and then insert a couple of lines into the middle later. The topmost snippet on the stack indicates which snippet owns the current line of code.

* What is the current surrounding declaration? Using some fairly hacky regexes, it tracks whether it is inside a class, method, struct, etc.

Given that, the build system knows for every line of code which snippet it first appears in, which snippet it disappears in if it's one that gets replaced, and the surrounding declaration if any.

When compiling a chapter, when it inserts a snippet, it finds all of the lines owned by that snippet. It also grabs some of the preceding and following lines (which is made trickier by the fact that some of the surrounding lines that may be textually present in the actual source file may not exist in the code as it is at the point in time that that snippet is inserted). And it looks for any lines that are removed by that snippet so that it knows what number to put in the "replace _" annotation.

From that, it can create the HTML that shows the code for the snippet, some surrounding lines if needed, and a location annotation describing the file, declaration, and number of replaced lines.

It's a pretty neat tool, though the implementation is fairly hacky. It's just good enough to produce the correct output for this one book and this book only. :)
Pretty interesting since we deal with this everyday!
Here is what you can do with 'rclone' and immutable ZFS snapshots - second screenshot:

http://rsync.net/products/universal.html

The workflow here is a little different than at Amazon or Backblaze, as we actually built the rclone binary into our environment.

So you can run 'rclone' without actually having it installed yourself:

ssh user@rsync.net rclone s3:/some/bucket /rsync.net/dir

... and since ZFS snapshots at rsync.net are immutable (read-only) your account accumulates point-in-time versions of your data that are immune to bad actors like ransomware or Mallory in her various forms.

You can also, if you choose, do nothing but "dumb syncs" with rclone since retention can be handled with an arbitrary day/week/month/quarter/year snapshot schedule.

Which is amusing, since the latest standard Java desktop IDE is now no more or less clunky than IntelliJ's offering IMHO.

It all depends on what the outcome is in terms of immunity, vaccines and mutation.

If we achieve Polio-style elimination, with a vaccine that confers immunity long enough for the disease to be eliminated - cities like London will absolutely bounce back.

But if we end up with Flu-style situation, where immunity last year doesn't mean you're immune this year, and immunity to the strains in New York doesn't mean you're immune to the strains in San Francisco? It's difficult to know what the outcomes from that would be.
Unfortunately this is often the case at larger companies, unless you find a really cool manager / PM to work under who just trusts you — note this can be achieved over time.

I was reading a book called "You're Not Crazy - You're Codependent" (not relevant, except the source of what comes next in my comment) wherein the author made a distinction between "dreaming" and "fantasizing", the latter being destructive (in some cases) or unsatisfying.

I feel the distinction is valuable for me, but I've also been helping my teenager work through his challenges wherein he hits the first speed bump and invariably gives up on something. Getting "through" the challenge has been a learning process for him.

He realizes he doesn't want to kick things up over and over again, only to hit the first roadblock and then lose interest.
Thanks Eric, this is exactly what I was after!
This is classic anxiety. I've spoke with a surprising number of people who've never experienced something like this before, never thought they could get anxiety/panic attacks, think they have the virus, etc. In some cases, even a mild fever (99-100) isn't crazy; the human body is a fucked up piece of machinery, and reading all the news every day, even comments like the one I'm writing, it starts convincing itself that it has the virus even when it doesn't.

You just need to disconnect. Its both hard, and easy. Play video games. Focus on work if you're able. Shut out the news, Trump, all of that. Try to meditate. Pray. Cook. Go for walks. If it gets especially bad, I've had a couple friends who have gotten anxiety prescriptions from their doctor over the phone (its very common right now).
Actually, we had a (world renowned) medical company where I live annouce an emergency ventilator design, complete with functioning prototype. The design was quickly torn apart in public by doctors working on actual Covid-19 patients (the caseload is still manageable here). The device was then shelved.

If a well-known medical company can produce something that doctors say is essentially worse than doing nothing, due to the lung physiology of Covid-19 patients, then you betcha Tesla can end up doing the same.

Like others have said: start from a design that works, and scale it up. This is not a time for NIH.

This. Your target audience is the determining factor. Though, you can do both: Put the gritty technical stuff in an article while the live demo and a talk goes into a video.

Personally I don't care for video and most videos people send me go unwatched. It's just not productive and I can scroll and skim text for interesting bits faster than skimming a video.

Most "technical" videos are simple tear downs for entertainment or a lengthy demo with a long winded how-to or technical overview. ZZZZzzzzzzz.

Get the stupidest thing done and finished. I started my compiler with waay too much ambition. I planned out a Hindley Milner type system but with row polymorphism. I planned out the entire syntax, records and all. But I didn't actually have anything done. I spent so much time trying to think about how to implement x feature or y feature because I thought I should get it all done at once. It took me maybe a year to figure out that I should just get the stupidest thing working: arithmetic from parsing to code gen. I had resisted this because frankly there's a million tutorials online about making a calculator compiler. But who cares? It doesn't have to be original. It needs to be done.

Also only learn one new thing at a time. Don't make a side project where you're learning to write a compiler in a language that's new to you. That's two new topics and therefore infinitely harder.
And yet VSCode...
You're right. So (I agree with you but from here I'm trying to think about some path to search an explanation) maybe could it be explained by some long-term learning of the body-mind connection under repeated stress situations (like being in a crowd while being self-conscious), and then it repeats itself without the obvious stimulus?

What I resent, actually, is when physicians are presented with a package of somatic symptoms and sympathetic/parasympathetic symptoms, and readily discard the somatic part in order to jump to the "panic attack" conclusion.

Unlikely Optimism: The Conjunctive Events Bias
Honestly the answer is it depends and needs to be looked at on a language-by-language basis. There's certain languages for which there is no difference between typing rules and non-typing rules. Type-checking is literally the same as syntax checking (this is what I was referring to with a types as macros approach that has an implementation in Racket).

There's others where you can try to finesse some sort of Curry-style semantics out of a language that doesn't have those semantics.

The crucial question though is to what end?

The original contention is that types represent a limitation on a language, a limitation that you might want to sometimes lift. To the extent that you can separate the types from a language itself I agree that's true in theory, but that problem is solvable with casts.

And to the extent it isn't solvable with casts, it isn't solvable precisely because the Curry-style interpretation fails and the line between being excluded by a "surface-level" typing rule vs a deeper matter of language semantics is blurred.

All that being said, there is an argument to be made that you sometimes want to preserve a Curry-style fragment of your language precisely in order to facilitate this kind of "escape hatch" with a cast

However, going back to my original point, at least for me, this isn't something I worry about with mainstream languages. It feels more like a theoretical concern than a practical one. If you have a language with a type system that cares a lot about soundness and expressivity then it's something to keep in mind. I worry in dependently-typed languages that without preserving this distinction between types that have runtime-significance and types that do not, you lack an effective cast escape hatch.

For mainstream languages my concerns are exactly the opposite. The type system often is of little use to me because so much code makes use of escape hatches.

Ask HN: Good sources for learning Python idioms?
I just moved from a company where I was doing exclusively JavaScript to a company where I'm writing quite a bit of Python (3) for the first time. I expected the transition to be fairly trivial since the languages have similar capabilities and limitations, but I'm learning that the idioms are quite different and I've gotten multiple points of constructive criticism on my coding style not being idiomatic Python.

What's a good (online) authority for "idiomatic Python" that I can study, instead of learning the conventions one-by-one as I get them wrong?
Hmm I do have ADHD but your first statement "learn the technique, not to finish" definitely could apply to me both in technical (software engineering and coding) areas of my life as well as artistic (music, recording, mixing, etc.).

Reasonable people can certainly disagree about whether the cure is worse than the disease.

That said, the world's governments have made a decision to react in a certain way, and I maintain that my intuition tells me that most people don't understand the real reason for the lockdowns.

They think it is to prevent them personally from getting sick. That's not really true. The point is to prevent the medical infrastructure from becoming overwhelmed so that if and when people do become sick, they can be given their best shot at recovery.
I frequently think about how lucky I am that my dopamine rush is linked to seeing projects finished. People ask me how I get so much done, but there really isn't much of an answer other than "I like doing them and I enjoy seeing them finished".

Here's an article from Mar 26 in the NEJM where Fauci writes that C19 may be no worse than a severe flu season:

"If one assumes that the number of asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic cases is several times as high as the number of reported cases, the case fatality rate may be considerably less than 1%. This suggests that the overall clinical consequences of Covid-19 may ultimately be more akin to those of a severe seasonal influenza (which has a case fatality rate of approximately 0.1%)"
