Thank you! I did consider offering a free tier, the problem is that the script is self-hosted and I probably still have to provide support for the free users, which I can't (as I'm the only one working on the project currently). I do plan to create a free-tier or even open-source the project once I find a sustainable way to do it.
Ask HN: Recommend me a self-help book about procrastination and prioritization
Looking for a self-help book about how to deal with procrastination for both short-term and long-term scenarios.

Short-term: procrastination from fear of failure/criticism over failure.

Long-term: fear of taking action because of overwhelmed with different action items, reluctance to commit to actions for fear of wasting time that can be spent on other actions. Need to prioritize better to have more faith in actions.
Thanks, will give Vue a try!
Was thinking the same. When I look at infrastructure I look at SPOF. This has such a glaring one that I think why go through this ordeal? Even managing later and trouble shooting it will be such a pain in the but...
Would you mind sharing any resources you found helpful along the way? Might wanna pick it up on the near future

Your prior comment says “... you mess up, you're out, we give the competitor a chance. That's how it works.”

I’m saying that’s not how I approach my interactions with businesses. As you noted in your reply, employers expect an employee to make mistakes within a reasonable threshold. I have the same expectation for companies that provide me services. Making a mistake does not suddenly evaporate all their “usefulness” to me, as you seem to be suggesting.
Well, her github profile pic is "I ️ 35000 lines in gc.cpp". She's been working on it successfully for 15 years so I guess she's untouchable even within the org (I can't imagine the amount of stress she went through over the years). Aside from issues with a 35K source file, being a deep domain expert with a singular focus seems awesome.

New Twitter Feature: To swear or not to swear
This is exactly my experience.

For years I bemoaned that it doesn't scale down to the scale where most engineers work. I was wrong about that, it didn't scale down to the amount of learning I was willing to do for any one project at the scale I was doing them.

SOOO many times have I had to try to make my tools do something they weren't really capable of doing. And while it feels like a win today it never does tomorrow.

With Kubernetes most of my issues come from other things than that itself. Digital Ocean has a great small scale experience. AWS EKS has been quite a mess in comparison in terms of Ops time required. This made me realize that maybe people are suffering with ineffifcenies from the cloud provider, not Kubernetes itself.
One cool thing you can do is to manage the numbers in the case manually, eg.

#define LC_SET(s,num) s = num; case num:

This will let you serialize the state s, modify the program, recompile and reload s, and have it resume at the desired point.
We should be glad that public companies are forced to comply with FASB and issue GAAP financials that (since 2004) mandate that stock-based compensation be classified as a non-cash expense. By definition, non-GAAP figures are up to the company to specify and state, which indeed means that investors should be actively updating their own models when making investment decisions if looking at non-GAAP.

Isn't that rant a bit over the top just for a large source file?

If the source file size matters you're really not using your editor right. With a modern editor it shouldn't really matter where something is, you'll always just directly jump to the symbols.

And that github source view isn't really that great anyways.
For any serious reading better clone it. Apparently the billions of VC capital weren't able to buy a proper source code xref setup where you can actually jump to symbols directly, which is like the most important feature for any code review.

I guess the maintainer was just not very interested in trivial submissions. Yes splitting up source files is trivial.

Sure. Great case study for the crisis management team who got it together over the long weekend. I wonder who they were? (And which other companies they work for that I should avoid?)
What you need to do is to imagine you are designing a hammer, not a honey trap.

With a hammer, you are creating a tool that you will sell to people that they can use (or not) freely and they are in control of it. Design the handle so it doesn't splinter and the head so it doesn't fall off. Make a great product. The mind set is user-first. Or "Don't fuck the user"

With the honey trap you are trying to attract pests and trick them to coming in thinking they'll get something special but really they just get stuck. The users are the victims of the trap and you are the trap owner. You are more interested in how to attract and leverage users than how to serve them. The mind set is, how do we leverage the user to make our business more valuable, or "How do we fuck the user?"

Step 1: Sniff out all dark patterns and eliminate them. For example 1 month time limits on preference opt-outs e.g. "I am not interested in looking for a job". WTF?. It should be no time limit on that, and no follow up "are you sure" emails. Be a resource, not another 'shady recruiter'. My hammer doesn't yell at me that I haven done any DIY jobs lately.
I guess what's missing is the corrective steps they are taking to make sure a mistake like this doesn't happen in the future. I think even a short statement like "In the future, all feature plans will undergo a thorough review by an independent or in-house privacy expert before being greenlit." would give me more confidence that they understand that this was a privacy incident and not a PR issue.

Could you check the console, and tell me if there's some kind of error message?

And could you try checking the website without private browsing on? The website requires localStorage, and if that doesn't work, I guess the execution stops there, and it doesn't show anything. See: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12630396/localstorage-no...
IFR is a linear combination of age groups and their associated risk. It turns out NYC was an unmitigated disaster around nursing homes. That'll drive up the statistics quite a bit in that dead/population figure you're mentioning.
With the extra constraints in this Sudoku variant, there can't be many unique solutions -- otherwise two numbers wouldn't be sufficient to uniquely specify a solution.
In fact, there's only a single pattern. Note how along one axis every digit is 4 higher (mod 9) than the previous digit. One starting digit specifies the starting point (alignment of the pattern), the other starting digit the rotation + mirroring of the pattern. 9 possible alignments times 4 rotations times 2 (mirrored or not) = 9 * 4 * 2 = the 72 different solutions mentioned in the article.

But this is caused by the Knight's+King's move constraints (with the "consecutive numbers" constraint prohibiting relabeling of the numbers). There's way more solutions without those extra constraints.
Doctor Calls for End to Lockdown Due “Unprecedented” Spike in Suicide Attempts
I just got the new iPad magic keyboard case, and I love it. I use VS Code via code-server running on a VPS that I interact with via Blink/mosh.

The new keyboard is a huge upgrade over the previous model, and I’ve found that the trackpad feels natural when I’m using my iPad, much more familiar feeling compared with my MacBook.

One complaint I read about the new case is viewing angles, or lack thereof. I have had no issues personally, and find the angle to be exactly where I’d want it.

Overall I’ve been using my iPad for ~50% of my workflow lately.
Except he wrote the code from scratch and just used the assets. Not technically a port.

> Well, US has a problem with obscenities for instance, which are erased from court records, even if everyone in attendance is an adult and should be able to handle some cuss words.

This is not a universal practice. In fact, I'm inclined to say it's rather rare.

A case that immediately comes to mind is Cohen v. California. It concluded that governments can't ban the use of the word "fuck" in public. The word is not censored in the opinion.

I've been running DO k8s for about a year, works great. But in reality, you won't be paying $30. The node size that gives you is tiny and almost any setup will be a few hundred per month.

This is assuming you have some kind of staging environments, probably some demo, all of these come with at least one database instance. Maybe it's not something as memory polite as PostgreSQL. Etc etc, real-world setups tend use a bit of hardware.

If I wanted to save money, time and sleep I would deploy a production cluster to DO. Set up an office k8s cluster on local hardware for staging and I would host my own testing there. If it goes down I would deploy it temporarily in DO.
One of the strengths of the Joel test is that it is very objective. There is no wiggle room on "Do you use source control?" or "Do you have a bug database?".

Many of these are completely subjective. Do you have "Healthy oncall" and "Technical managers who build trust"? Most companies you could argue either way.
It looks fake. Would a real medical researcher refer to SARS-CoV-2 as "coronavirus" in the title, as if they didn't know there were other common human coronaviruses? Why are they publishing on Google Drive instead of MedrXiv? Why is the last author a lawyer? Why does it say "Stanford PhD" in the byline? Dr. Broker (the first author) does seem to have been doing biomedical research at UAB last year (https://www.researchgate.net/publication/336977942_Targeting... is a legitimate virology research paper he worked on, which doesn't make obvious errors like the above), but https://web.archive.org/web/20200403213718/https://www.uab.e... suggests he was gone by April 3. https://www.peakprosperity.com/forum-topic/chloroquine-hoax/ says he was born in 1944, so he'd be 76?

Hmm, https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8143845/Malaria-cur... says, "Professor Thomas Broker, who was named in the 'white paper' before it was removed from Google, asked for his name to be disassociated with it, while the University of Alabama at Birmingham, where he works, said a claim that Nobel Prize winner Dr. Louise Chow's laboratory was involved was also false."

"…the university's public relations manager Bob Shepard added that Dr. Chow, a Nobel-prize winner mentioned in the acknowledgments, was no part of the study.

"'No one at UAB has any connection to this paper,' Shepard said.

"Shepard said that Broker 'had previously done research into chloroquine as a possible therapy for human papillomavirus' which is more commonly known as HPV.

"Shepard said: 'He had some contact with one of the authors of that paper at that time. He had no involvement with the work on coronavirus and is not affiliated with that research in any way.'"

Now, I don't want to depend on the Daily Mail, but it seems like they may happen to have been correct in this case.

Here's a thought experiment that helped me reason through SBC and GAAP.

Scenario A: Company hires an engineer with a base salary of 100k/year, and 100k/year worth of SBC.

Scenario B: Company convinces an investor to invest 100k/year... and also hires him as an engineer with a base salary of 200k/year.

From a business fundamentals and margins perspective, the two scenarios are identical. And yet, in scenario A, the company is spinning their non-GAAP annual expense as being 100k. Whereas in scenario B, the company wouldn't even try to spin their annual expense as being anything other than 200k.

The above thought experiment becomes particularly powerful if the hypothetical company has no other expenses and an annual revenue of $150k. Using the non-GAAP estimates from scenario A can mislead investors into thinking that the company has a very healthy gross margin, and is a lucrative investment. Whereas the actual GAAP numbers from both scenarios A and B, make it clear that the business is not profitable at all.
330M*.0026 = 857K. in US. Herd immunity is like 60% of that number. That's a lot of people. That could be your parent or grandparent or you.

I get so tired of people comparing this to the flu. It's over taken the number of deaths from the flu in 2 months not 12. And that's while we were in locked down.

Also, a whole lot of people get symptoms. I don't think having flu like symptoms for 2 weeks(not 2-3 days) sounds like fun either.

Yeah, I'm not saying there's not a viable business there. Just not one that's going to be worth a billion dollars in a couple years.
Reddcoin (RDD) Blockchain Monitoring Platform – GrepBlock
Those things require knowing that what you are saying is false – the damage is in deliberately trying to mislead people, not the source of the information.

That is obviously very different from saying "I don't like this person so we should limit their freedom of speech even though they're not deliberately misleading anyone".

The point is that you should be trying to establish policy that doesn't come back to bite you in the ass when the prevailing winds change. Saying that you're not allowed to say things that 1. you know aren't true and 2. damage others, is a fairly objective standard. "This guy is a felon so we should limit his speech, regardless of what he is saying" is not.
I wonder will this get triggered with a Cyrillic "с", which looks just the Latin "c."

I find per-incident discussion spaces far more productive. I.e. if you want to talk to me and some other people about something, create a space (channel in Slack jargon). That way everything about that conversation has it's own isolated history. I can control my notification settings for that conversation sanely. If I need to find a message from that conversation, I can limit my search to that channel.

My manager heavily pushes us to use Threads for that purpose in Slack, but Slack's handling of Threads is just miserable. It's one my biggest peeves about Slack. If I get mentioned in a Thread, Slack will ping me for every new message (and I've been pinged on threads that went on for several hundred messages). If I need to find a message in a Thread, scrolling back is useless, I have to use search and just pray I have the right keywords.

I think I'm just burned out on Slack; they need to find a method of communicating and invest into it instead of their current "you communicate however you want and we'll halfway support it" method.
Also, considering the source's long history it would be a huge break for stylistic reasons.

> Did the government participate in this leak? I didn't see anything that indicated this was a gov operation.

Innocent people wouldn't be using Bitcoin or accounts in the Caymans or whatever if you could walk into a US bank (or a Walmart) with $100 in cash and walk out with a $100 prepaid debit card without being required to give anyone a name or social security number.

> One, this is just a registry of who owns the companies. This isn't financial data.

This is registry data on people published with the intent to force them back into using the system that gives up their financial data.

> Two, if it was, there is a vast difference between we want to know what books a person is buying and hey that b/millionaire has been using the Bahamas to move millions of dollars in shady ways.

I agree! So then why does the system that allegedly exists only to prevent moving millions of dollars require the system to know what books a person is buying? Shouldn't that system only apply to high dollar value accounts?

> There are a lot of shady entities using offshore banking, not just "the oligarchs".

But then what are we getting from publishing a list which is some bad guys and some good guys? Being on the list doesn't prove you're a bad guy, so what are people supposed to do with it? Some kind of indiscriminate mob justice?

Whereas if you have some evidence that a specific person is a bad guy then publish that and not an indiscriminate list of names.
Do you not have to have a large dev ops team to handle upgrades or changes for each customer? I'd be against it to do more with fewer people, especially for an unproven < 5 year old startup.
No, because those things are based on fairly objective standards, which is a very important piece of the puzzle. The line is very clear. Don't steal from others, don't deliberately lie or mislead when it provably damages someone else (person/org/the justice system). The basic idea is to follow the golden rule. You're allowed to do whatever you want as long as it doesn't harm others within your society.

"This guys is a bad hombre and so we should limit his freedom of speech" is clearly not objective. The line is very fuzzy, which is exactly the problem with it. Is the idea that we should limit the speech of all felons, even after they served their time? Or is it just sex offense felons? Or just rappers with face tattoos? Where does one propose we draw a line that can be objectively applied and would limit this guy's freedom of speech?

That's really interesting, and a great way of analyzing pitches. I've noticed most seem to follow the order you have listed too. It's pretty similar to the template Sequoia shared. Interesting that you found the pitches that used a different order were the ones that stuck with you - I guess that template is used a lot these days so audiences are probably familiar with it.

What I'd love to do with this at some point is to label each slide and do some analysis of the pitches: i.e. what percentage of pitches have traction slides, what percentage have market size slides, what order do they appear in (as you have said), how many slides are dedicated to the solution, etc, etc.

Thanks for sharing your insight, it's an interesting exercise. If those notes ever appear again, HMU :) I'd love to see them.

Basically, we’d like everyone to run their own server where they could add your process as a unit, rather than you running a server for everyone.

I guess this might have been very useful as a Huginn module. Maybe Urbit matures to be a functional version of this. The problem is that today’s computing culture grooms people to be dependent on others’ servers/services, rather than being in control of one machine of theirs.
