I think there's another difference too, which is the intense practice. Long before they became famous, the Beatles were working musicians, performing live many hours a day for years. (And "many hours" was further expanded through the use of performance-enhancing drugs which would be more strictly regulated nowadays.)

Nowadays, there are a lot more distractions. Musicians are too busy working on their social media game to actually work on their music game. And with nightclubs using canned music or one-man DJs, there's a lot less opportunity to perform live even if you want to. This is technological change which harms new music, and it more than cancels out the improvements which technology brings to music.

There seems to be a wealth of information here. I wonder, though, if the goal would be better served breaking this up into a series. Or perhaps applying the 80/20 rule to the list to come up with truly “a few” items that will have the highest leverage. Otherwise, I think it will provoke a lot of discussion and analysis from people who are experts in databases, but it might remain impenetrable for the core audience: the majority of developers who ignore this stuff (according to the author.)

A fellow house head! I must ask, are you a fan of any specific house mixes? I find that, while I do love standalone tracks, there's something absolutely ethereal about a well mixed house set, where the tracks are perfectly mixed and organically bleed into each other. On Youtube, I'm a fan of Johnny M's mixes for deep house. I've never heard of BeatportCharts, so I'll definitely check that out, thanks for the recommendation!
The anecdotes of "I moved from school X to school Y and one was more rigorous than the other" are interesting, but I'm not sure they're representative of entire systems. In the US, you could switch between schools that are 10 miles apart from each other and have the same experience because school quality is not that homogeneous.
This is really great. Every now and again I'm fortunate enough to stumble onto a new / unknown artist to me. Weirdly, Grooveshark was really good for this (as it gave me some of my very top favorites through a Grooveshark Premium thing -- Quiet Company and Justin Townes Earle) but I've found generally limited utility in going from those new bands into either Google or Spotify's "More Like This" functions.

Looking at the map for Quiet Company yields a list of names that are mostly foreign to me that I'll be plowing through as I work.

I hear you on this, I’ve been through similar issues. Few comments though:

- We have 3 kids, and you would think that would be a hostile Roomba environment but instead, it motivates them to keep the toys off the floor e.g. Legos. Sometimes we say “Better clean up your stuff or else Roomba’s gonna get it!”
- We only buy rugs that are Roomba compatible
- Our house is just one story with wood floors in every room which is also lucky and helpful
- Another positive is Roomba is much better than a vacuum in terms of getting under sofas and beds.

However, I agree with you on having to babysit Roomba. Roomba still gets stuck in random places - wedged underneath certain pieces of furniture. Sometimes it goes into a bathroom and somehow manages to close the door on itself. Sometimes there will be an obvious mess - small pile of dirt tracked in by the kids - Roomba will vacuum for 1 hour and travel all around the dirt and still miss it.

It’s also loud - not as loud as a regular vacuum cleaner but pretty close. And considering that I can vacuum my entire house in about 15 minutes and Roomba does an equivalent job in 3 hours (3 x 1 hour sessions)...

Bottom line is that we still use Roomba. But we also still use a vacuum once every 2-3 weeks or so.

Here's a philosophical business question for the HN community:

Let's suppose that you had to choose one single physical product, just one, from every physical product known to man.

And let's suppose that you were going to sell it online, on your own website.

So the "rules of the game" for this thought exercise are as follows:

1) You're not selling Software, SAAS or a service.

2) You're selling a physical, packaged product that will be shipped to a customer that orders it.

3) You may not use Amazon's website in any way (i.e., via its partner programs) to advertise or take orders for your product.

4) You're using your own website, that is, you're not using traffic from someone else's website (Squarespace, etc.)

Now, which product (it can only be one single physical product) do you pick to sell and why?

A simple answer might be something like "You find the product which Amazon sells the most of, Amazon's current #1 bestseller... and you sell that".

But that's not a well thought out answer (I care more about the thinking process than the actual answer), because then my challenge question would be this: "OK, but you do realize that Amazon probably gets a deep volume discount from the product that is their #1 bestseller... how do you propose to do that if you don't have any volume?"

What I'm looking for is thought.

Tell me the one physical product you would sell, and WHY.

Let's have an interesting discussion!

Also, I'm not doing this to make anyone look wrong or stupid... what I am interested in are ideas, lots of ideas!

> I'm not sure if you read the thread's link before responding but they're proposing using smoking as a treatment vector

I did read it, at no point did I see them proposing smoking as treatment. Rather, they're proposing nicotine patches.

> There's a long history of immoral science occurring during periods of national and international strife, so I believe oversight, harm reduction, and due diligence remain important considerations.

Even if it was administered by smoking, nicotine would be about as safe a drug as you can find at that dose. You'd be hard pressed to find a case where somebody died upon smoking their first cigarette. Aspirin, Paracetamol or Ibuprofin are way more dangerous than that.

It would be undue diligence not to investigate this potential treatment vector, even if it turns out to be some weird statistical artifact.

That does not look good for Sweden. I was just thinking that it would be interesting to compare total deaths per year for 2020 at years end to eliminate differences in methodology. It's a crude measurement, but if the coronavirus death toll becomes large enough compared to total population then it should give us a general idea considering how slowly death rates change in general. That could at least point us to who did things right, and hopefully some guidance for future policy.
Now that would have been fun to watch. Nicely done!
I'd posit that autoincrements are fine for primary keys, but primary keys aren't fine for auditing.

It's notable as well when evaluating Sweden's number is that they are far more trustworthy than most countries. One interesting metric is excess mortality. Some places have wild unexplained excess mortality from the statistical expectation, that isn't fully explained by reported Covid-19 deaths. This suggests that Sweden is reporting deaths far more accurately than other countries, so when we evaluate the relative success of their strategy, we should keep that in mind.

A chart published by the NYT:

Location | % extra | excess death# | official C19 d# | unexplained difference
Spain | 66% | 19,700 | 12,401 | ~ 7,300
England | 33% | 16,700 | 10,335 | ~ 6,300
NYC | 298% | 17,200 | 13,240 | ~ 4,000
France | 21% | 10,500 | 8,059 | ~ 2,500
Holland | 33% | 4,000 | 2,116 | ~ 1,900
Istambul | 29% | 2,100 | 1,006 | ~ 1,100
Jakarta | 36% | 1,000 | 84 | ~ 900
Belgium | 25% | 2,300 | 1,632 | ~ 700
Switzer. | 21% | 1,000 | 712 | ~ 300
Sweden | 12% | 1,100 | 1,160 | ~ -50
>That being said, it's morally very difficult to defend this strategy in the face of a higher death toll amongst seniors in care homes. I cannot come up with a single argument that I don't know will get shot down immediately and that is a good sign that it's probably not morally optimal.

It's easier if rather than "lives saved", you look at "life years saved". In this sense, somebody in their 80s who only has a couple of years left dying early is equivalent to the situation of a young adult being pushed into poverty by the lockdowns and never managing to recover a middle-class lifestyle, so they die a couple years earlier (I'm not sure about Sweden, but in English speaking countries poor people on average die a few years earlier). A 20-year-old commiting suicide due to sudden poverty, or depression from being locked inside, is equivalent to twelve 80-year-olds who have five years to live dying early.
The evolution dictates that it should become less deadly because dead host mostly means dead virus and live host may mean more live viruses.

I believe it's a set of kernel build flags and not a kernel parameter, in which case, not really, I initially said you could just replace the kernel with something that's been built without the flags and reboot but apparently the second paragraph says it prevents that, though I'm not sure how would updating the kernel work in that case then.
You look at the transaction end-to-end, and what the intention behind it is. Don't get stuck in the technicalities, as that's the cause of many issues we see today.
You are describing exactly why I long stopped watching college sports.

The ranking system for teams is opaque, and I think it is intentionally so to keep the "top teams" top, and all others down. There are plenty of instances where a "lower" ranked team in football have an undefeated season, but have no chance to go the "playoffs" or even play in a more prestigeous bowl game. This is on top of other teams NOT having an undefeated season, but still get the playoffs or a better bowl game.

Try to actually bring that up and all you get back is "well you must have come from a college with a bad sports team".
The middle of the peak of the first wave, maybe.

If you're under the impression we're half way through the whole thing you're in for a rough couple of years.

> You seem to keep implying that it's an often used and good idiom,

I said that this is code that safe Rust allows you to write [0] - it's actually safe code that beginners could write by accident [1] - and therefore all unsafe Rust programmers need to actually write Rust code that defends against this happening: otherwise their safe Rust APIs over unsafe Rust code are unsound, because if someone were to write safe Rust programs like [1], their unsafe Rust code would exhibit undefined behavior (the standard library and the language itself being the prime examples of this [2]).

The claim that panicking from Drop::drop will often cause a double-drop or terminate the program assumes that all unsafe code is written by people that properly defend all their unsafe code against it happening. We agree that no reasonable programmer would purportedly write such Drop impls, so I doubt that. It suffices for execution to reach a path that isn't properly guarded for the program to exhibit UB, and at that point, there aren't any guarantees about double-drops panicking or aborts doing anything meaningful.

That is, we have a feature we agree on does not do anything useful, yet adds a cost to all unsafe code.

[0] As opposed to C++ or D, which do not allow you to write Drop::drop implementations that unwind/fail, and therefore their programmers do not need to write code to protect themselves from something that nobody does, just in case somebody actually ends up doing it by accident.

[1] As easy as:

struct S;
impl Drop for S {
fn drop(&mut self) { unimplemented!() }
}

[2] These safe code example are actually used by the standard library test suite to test, e.g., the collections. So it isn't just the cost of having to read/write unsafe code that protects against something that does not make sense doing, but also the cost of then adding and maintaining the tests for those code paths.
The consequences for a young boy saddled with the long term consequences of fatherhood or child support are serious.

Secondly, if parents were truly concerned about this they would provide condoms, support, and healthcare rather than stern (and ultimately useless) admonitions and, even worse, sexist jokes. It's not a coincidence that states with a reactionary attitude to sex and sexism see the highest rate of teen pregnancies.
Is it a coincidence that this headline pops up the same month "Minority Report" was added to Netflix?
I really wish this blog would have listed some sources for all these statements.
This is prompted by the observation that in hospitals in Paris, the proportion of smokers among COVID-19 patients is ~5 times lower than the proportion of smokers in the population. The effect is big enough to merit some attention. The challenge will be to disentangle a protective effect from the increased vulnerability caused by smoking. The answer may be just a few nicotine patches away.
Rankings are irrelevant for top 20 but for the rest it matters a lot. Vast majority of population ends up somewhere outside of top 20. They have to chose between A, B and C and rankings plays its part. Reliable ranking is important because it rewards universities with better enrollment (and vice versa).

If you are making good money, then just stop working as hard and coast (i.e: rest and vest).

Set aside a few 45min - 1hour breaks throughout the day where you go for a walk, workout, do yoga, play a video game, basically take care of yourself.

There is nothing that states you need to be working yourself 100%.
Consider the amount of cooperation which in this case was ‘send them the source code’.
You should leave the job as soon as you possibly can. Ideally today if financially possible.

>I don't think I have come home any day and felt like, "oh, today I will code this!". Nope. I always leave work at work - coding, studying, learning about work. It's not really a discipline, or an attempt to keep work and life separate. I just don't feel like it.

I'm in the same boat. I've been coding for over 15 years, and since I've been doing it as a career, I can't bring myself to work on very much outside of work like I used to. I have a github full of projects that I used to work on but when I'm home I want to do something that I enjoy. I don't think I've made a significant commit to any of my projects in over a year. Almost makes me want to go back to being an electrician so I can find renewed passion for what used to be my hobby.
With such an enormously high r0 as currently predicted, completely stopping the virus once firmly established is an impossibility, but many examples e.g. Finland and Korea have shown that you can seriously reduce infections and deaths. There's no reason a lockdown followed by extensive testing shouldn't work, and indeed it _has_ worked in countries such as Korea and Taiwan. In fact, it worked in Hong Kong and Canada during the original SARS epidemic.

There has to be a willingness to act early and responsibly, closing your borders, attempting to isolate highly infected areas, and slowing the spread of the disease as you dramatically ramp up testing. It seems as if the Western world has complete amnesia of previous events like SARS and is throwing caution to the wind as they assert that nothing could have been done to prevent this.

We really need some data about vapers, some of them get way more nicotine than smokers, directly into their lungs, but with less irritation.

The real protective factor may actually be the constant irritation provided by the smoke, not the nicotine itself. What about Marijuana smokers?

Then we need to differentiate between long-time smokers with damaged lungs and short-time smokers with more or less intact lungs.

In any case, we need to get over our confirmation bias that smoking is universally bad.

It seems employing Western Europeans to plant and pick flowers in Western Europe would mean expensive flowers, and they've apparently calculated it's cheaper to let Kenyans plant, pick, ship the flowers to big Boeings, for pilots to burn fuel flying the Boeings to the Netherlands, and for the flowers to be distributed around W. Europe (and apparently USA) that way.

It' the same with people screaming why their country doesn't have their own PPE manufacturers; because in non-crisis times, the hospitals would buy from the lowest bidder, and those would be manufacturers with cheap developing country labor..
