Hi guys,

I have been working on a side-project for a few months to solve the "ever growing reading list" problem in current read-it-later apps like Pocket or Instapaper.

Dayreads allows you to save articles to your inbox, like a to-do list app, and then create smaller and manageable reading lists for each day of the week.

I have been using this app for quite some time, and it has been helpful in maintaining a reading habit.

Here's a getting started guide: https://dayreads.help/getting-started

Currently, there are no mobile apps, but there are browser extensions for Chrome/Edge and Firefox.

Hoping to get some feedback from the HN community before I go deeper into this project.

Successful reorgs are done in response to growth, changing markets, and new lines of business.

Just like the examples you gave.

This is either a desperation or punitive reorg.

There are also boredom and “make my mark” reorgs and this ain’t them.

In general, nothing. It's just not the software developer's job. If the accounting profession decided to change certain terms to fix inconsistencies, that would be fine.

I still don't get it, sorry. So I worked and earned $200 for my work. It (obviously) came from somewhere—that "somewhere" being the pocket of the dude that paid me. But why is that relevant here? Am I not doing accounting properly until I start tracking what's in others' pockets'? I need to make an "account" for that dude and write down a debit of $200 for him just because he gave me $200 and the sum just has to be $0, or else some catastrophe happens? Isn't that nonsensical?

This point is a bit of a rorschach... is that an over-estimation or an under-estimation? Sounds like a massive under-estimation to me, in the same sort of qualitative way that it's silly to try to quantify the economic effect of the internal combustion engine in terms of horses displaced... it's measuring something kinda relevant but totally missing a qualitative shift that unlocked impossible-to-quantify economic activity (for better or worse is up to us).

The CSIRO has the domain CSIRO.au and they're the only one site that comes to mind. All domains in Australia are required to be registered under the kind of organisation they are. There is .com.au for companies, you need a valid Australian Business Number (ABN) to register one, .org.au where you need to be a registered "organisation"[0]. Soon we'll be able to register .au domains and you can read more about the history of the domain on Wikipedia[1].

In short, the reason you never see `.au` domains is because no one can register them.

Companies that get to be as big as Intel are destined for this kind of failure.
"Manufacturing" as a business classification sometimes seems to include companies that are in the business of developing and selling manufactured products but don't own or operate any factories themselves and outsource the actual, well, manufacturing. In the semiconductor industry people talk about "fabless" companies as a category but there's not really an analogous shorthand for, say, a factory-less soap manufacturer.

With that said, I wish stats like that were a little more clear about whether they mean that broader definition of the manufacturing industry, or if it is strictly the economic output of actual factories.

>a 36 hour week for £55k (up to £100+k for some) a year

An ok-ish middle class salary. Not outrageous in its own right and i suspect if you compared it to the lifestyle of train drivers 50 years ago it might allow them to live the same sort of lifestyle?

It's no secret that our expectations and the job market have changed dramatically but it is telling that jobs with hard fought inflation adjusted wages have wait lists for those jobs. We're like a frog slowly being boiled and we need posts like the above that cause us to think "Hang on didn't train drivers of yesteryear support a wife and three kids? Could you do that on £55k?".

As tech workers we all likely earn so much that we could live the middle class lifestyle of yesteryear (paying off the mortgage before retirement, supporting a partner and kids, taking regular family vacations, etc.). I mean we like to think we're all super rich but really we're only where we should be. Perhaps we shouldn't be directing hate downwards here? The wealth gap above us has increased, whilst the wealth controlled by the bottom 50% is lower than ever.

The only way the disparity here can be corrected is to accept those below us in salary will fight for more. It's pretty understandable really.
That's the silly, confusing view of accounting.

Here is the smart view:

1. The sum of all accounts is zero: that's the fundamental equation. Nothing about assets, liabilities or equity.

2. A transaction updates at least two accounts, by applying deltas to them. The sum of the deltas is a transaction zero. Because of that (1) continues to hold.

3. Accounts which represent outside interests in the business run negative: these include loans and owner's equity. For instance, if the business somehow makes $1000 out of thin air, its cash account goes up by $1000. At the same time, because the owner has interest in the business, the equity goes down by $1000. Equity is like a loan that the business owes to the owner. Or, if the business gets a loan for $1000, the cash goes up; but the loan account goes down by $1000. Other accounts are what the business has, and run positive, like expenses, cash and assets. E.g. if a routine $50 expense is covered, cash goes down by $50, expenses goes up by $50.

4. Expensese are periodically reconciled (e.g. end of year): they cancel out equity. If there is -$1500 equity, and $500 expenses: poof: expenses are blasted to zero, and equity goes to $-1000. (Of course, expenses are also, separately of this, used for claiming tax deductions and whatnot.)

That's it; no confusing debit/credit nonsense, with an increase in such and such account being a debit, but an increase in another kind being a credit. That system is deliberately twisted so that people of typical intelligence need to rely on expensive accountants.
> Adding Roman numerals, at least, isn’t hard.

I find it insanely difficult - but as you note, a lifetime of arabic numerals, and a lack of skill in appropriate tools (eg. an abacus) will skew that comparison.

> ... but it’s not much easier until you’ve memorized all 50 unique sums of one-digit numbers.

This doesn't feel right.

I don't think I have memorised the sum of all pairs of 1-digit numbers - but contemplating this now, it's impossible for me to be sure. I'm not sure where multiplication kicks in for breaking down larger numbers into quotient and divider for me, let alone 'most people'.

Given the maximum value (sum) of two x 1-digit numbers is 18, a naive assumption is the permutations don't really number 50 (I get 45) - and given that roman numerals didn't have a zero, a fairer comparison would be [1-9][1-9] (36 unique combinations)

Either way, in any counting system there's presumably a similar 'memorisation' gate you have to pass for the fundamental set. With roman numerals there was historically 7 I think - I, V, X, L, C, D, M - and summing those wouldn't be anywhere near as straightforward as summing sets of single-digits, so I don't think the comparison of this requirement is as skewed against arabic numerals as you suggest.

The problem with pointing to New Zealand for information is they never had widespread community transmission. Australia had the same no mask policy until such a point that they had community transmission and now they are forcing masks where most transmission is occurring.

From the page you link
> This advice on use of face masks in the community will be updated if new evidence or guidance from the World Health Organization emerges, or we see a change in COVID-19 disease patterns in New Zealand (for example, increasing community transmission).

So they are simply not advocating masks due to low community transmission.
I feel like on the one hand my opinion is "this is stupid and doesn't matter", which makes me think the change was not needed.

But also my opinion is "this is stupid and doesn't matter", which makes me not really care that they did I guess.
> Yes I can plug no smtp to any netlify

Hmm, had a quick look at no smtp and it looks like a similar same thing as Formspree. Formspree has been around for a while now though and has a bigger free tier so I'd side with that. Works on any website too, just paste the HTML snippet in.

Like I mentioned, I've seen a ton of services like this come and go each time I research this. I'm guessing they shut down when they don't make enough money or get hit with spam/abuse, so I'd be cautious about using one that's not been around for a while.

From my understanding (and I well could be wrong here), Europeans inherited from Greek a mathematics system that favored geometry and tended to abhor algebra. Concepts like integers, rationals, and irrational numbers are all pretty easy to explore and explain with geometry. By contrast, zero, negative numbers, and imaginary numbers create absurdities in geometry (how can a line have length 0? -2? 3 + 4i?). Moreover, even as algebra is introduced to Europeans via the Arabs, I can see people resisting algebra in part because it introduces these absurdities and paradoxes that need explanation.

As far as I can tell from the historical record (and it doesn't help that modern histories tends to describe historical mathematical discoveries in modern terms, meaning it's difficult to work out as a lay person in what terms the historical discoverer understood their own work), it looks like the acceptance of zero, negative numbers, and complex numbers are more or less concurrent, and this also seems to coincide with the shift in mathematics from being predominantly geometric to algebraic.
> food items are quintuple wrapped in plastic

I'm not sure precisely what the balance of all evidence looks like in this particular case, but I suspect that plastic wrapping might be better able to harbor pathogens, including SARS-CoV-2, than the skins of most fruits and vegetable, excepting perhaps leafy greens for the obvious reason of increased surface area.

From what research literature I have read over the years (regarding cutting boards, Influenza, Ebola, SARS, etc), it's my understanding that in general pathogens of all types survive longer or at the very least remain functionally transmissible longer on non-porous surfaces. Not just longer, but significantly longer, such as to make it a worthwhile consideration from a health & safety perspective where such a vector matters--which is probably rarely if ever. Even waxed fruits and vegetables might be better in this regard than plastic. If people prefer packaging to mitigate contact transmission (e.g. when people inspect loose items), brown paper bagging is the best route in lieu of some expensive, synthetic micromaterial.

I realize the packaging is to soothe paranoid shoppers, and plastic is the easiest way to do that. But perhaps someday the public will be educated enough to be more discerning regarding what plausibly helps and what doesn't, notwithstanding the lack of any substantive need.
I hate to always blame the media because it's a chicken or egg problem. No news outlet wants to be the one to lose business because they increase the friction of their news consumption, so we all suffer from Tragedy of the Commons.

Sad truth: news readers don't read the entire article. News agencies craft news in the format that readers are willing to digest at scale (a very brave few stayed in long form publications, but they don't report daily). The important details that are relevant to you are nuanced and aren't subject to easy headlines and even if they are, the articles don't get clicks (for better or worse). They are in the body of many articles from the better outlets, but usually the quality content is behind paywalls.

Until we find a better news business model that doesn't incentivize news to optimize for clickbait and social media to optimize news feeds for maximum emotion, we are going to continue to suffer from Tragedy of the Commons in this space.
> Cognitive dissonance is an essential requirement to work in

oh, boo. this is a sophomoric examination that does not do justice to the subject being critiqued.

cognitive dissonance has become a buzzword and its incorrect usage is exemplified here. those people aren't struggling with a value conflict, they just have different values than you do.

the path to togetherness, thoughtfull discussion, and mind-changing lies with honest recognition and good-faith debate, not name-calling.

Yeah the return fraud is also a problem for third-party Amazon sellers.

Buyers can essentially destroy the item and return it claiming warehouse damage, and then Amazon won’t always take responsibility even if it was sent to FBA near perfect or new.

The Greeks had several competing numeral systems (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_numerals) including a decimal based system. What I do not get is how come the Romans adopted (if they adopted from the Greeks) the most unwieldy one.

Coding is a virus, a meme. What you've got is 12 years of experience breaking down problems, abstraction, functional analysis, debugging.

You have skills which other parts of the business cycle need.

If you aren't a "people person" then look to problem solving in logistics: the routing and scheduling behind everyday delivery is a heinous problem. Or, in the construction, mining and related sector. "for the want of a nail" problems abound.

(hint: root cause analysis? duck typing in a process debug?)

Operations Research: linear programming to derive the maximally efficient solution to a problem. Its everywhere.

Epidemiology: Go be a gun-for-hire in stats or data analytics for somebody with smarts in another space, drowning in data. Yea, you have to code. So what! the code will be fascinating and totally different

If you are a "people person" then non-product spaces like health are full of middle manager roles. And.. gues what: its logistics, scheduling, process analysis, root cause analysis. Supply chain behind masks and gowns has become pretty topical...
It's a hard problem to solve: getting to some useful amount of "done" where it solves actual problems for customers is a long way from delivering a truly polished, quality product.

There's diminishing returns from 80% to 100% done, plus there's the human condition--it's a lot more fun to solve the hard problems than do the polishing at the end. I think that teams can get too enamored of the features they create, it's hard to get perspective when you've been staring at something for a while.

I've often wondered if the answer is to have multiple teams (pods) so that one team can get a feature to MVP, then hand it over. You're then not invested in "your" product, there's space to be objective and revisit the path from MVP onward.

"Traumatic exposure and posttraumatic symptoms for train drivers involved in railway incidents"

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4462444/

>>Because of involuntary exposure to PUT [Person Under Train] incidents, the likelihood of train drivers to witness the violent death of a person is much higher than that of the general population, and that puts the train driver at risk of psychological trauma.

>>Of the 193 train drivers, 152 (78.75%) reported at least one PUT incident. Respondents reported as much as 14 PUT incidents/person, with a mean of 4 (SD = 2.83) incidents/train driver.

In all honesty, a train driver is more likely to see someone die violently in front of them in a given year than the average soldier.

Thanks so much for sharing your story. It is stories like yours that inspire us every day, and that will inspire more teens and parents to seek treatment. And I'm happy to hear that your treatment has put you in a better place, and you are headed off to RPI. To address your questions:

1) Crisis situations: safety is our #1 priority. We create a safety plan that includes coping skills, strengths, local resources and people to contact. If a crisis situation arises we have this in advance as a resource. We recognize online can create more challenges than in person for maintaining a safe environment, so we also refer patients who we believe might need more intensive care to in person treatment.

2) We firmly believe telehealth is a great vehicle for psychiatry. We haven't quite arrived there yet, but it is on our 'roadmap' to have psychiatrists. And in the meantime, we refer out for teens who need medication support.

Thanks again for sharing your story!

I very much like this. How does one add tools to WindEdit?

Have you considered combining windedit into windterm? I very much like the vscode remote-ssh extension, but dislike that it requires a heavy footprint on the server. I feel like you could quite easily get the same functionality from combining windedit with windterm.

Also, have you considered creating a framework for a simple linter?

I look forward to progress!
