as a wheelchair user myself, i'd like to bring up a point that is glossed over, but not sufficiently highlighted in this article.

Wheelchair push count is not as valuable a metric as the geometry/ergometry of the push itself.

Wheelchair related RSI is not usually a matter of volume, it's usually caused by one of many factors that can cause a wheelchair users' push geometry to change for the worse.

Underinflated tires, underinflated seat cushion that changes overall torso height in the seat, poorly adjusted wheelchair, wheelchairs that haven't been re-fit for the user in a very long time (this is common in the U.S., as many wheelchair users stick with the unit given to them out of the hospital for a long time, decades even, due to insurance/healthcare woes) -- these are all factors that are a greater contributor to push-related RSI than anything measurable by sheer counting.

So : wheelchair push count is a nice feature for athletes and training-tracking -- but chair ergonomics is a much more important health issue; if these devices are being pushed outside athletic circles I think they should spend a good chunk of time studying and considering the problems of ergonomics and how to track those kind of metrics over time.

bar napkin idea : pay attention to the push duration rather than the push volume. per-push-duration could give hints on things like underinflated tires -- the 'wind-up' motion that begets the push will take longer due to the increased energy expenditure.

P.S.

somewhat ironically, using a manual push wheelchair that is set up in an 'athletic' profile at all (maybe lots of camber, or maybe lots of seat 'dump' in the build) almost always prohibits the user from wearing anything on their wrist without continually bashing it into the hand-rim during their power stroke.

Watches/bracelets/bangles are , in my experience, a very uncommon fashion accessory for manual wheelchair users for that reason -- especially those of which have impaired neurological movement in their hands; folks with those kinds of issues generally push the handrim with the side of their wrist due to a lack of grip -- right where a watch would sit normally.
Nothing stops you from downloading pieces in a specific order that allows for streaming. It's the client that determines order, not the bittorrent protocol.
Your comment was previously near the top because newer comments always start near the top. It's gone down because it has failed to attract enough upvotes and newer comments have taken its place. It doesn't take a moderator shadowban for a negative comment to lose ground on HN.

I know how HN works, but thanks for explaining it. New comments are only given the top spot for a small time period. My comment was at the top long after said time period, because it previously had more than enough upvotes to stay at the top (in fact, it actually had been knocked down to middle-ish of the thread, and then garnered enough upvotes to again be the top). As soon as dang commented, it suddenly was at the bottom.
I don't know how true it is, but the reason I've heard that routine makes it seem like time goes faster is because your brain condenses similar experiences. If you have a lot of similar days, your brain will interpret them mostly as the same day, making it feel like you don't know where the time went.
It would be fantastic if all farms were like that! Industrial animal farming is the most profitable and scalable from a business perspective, but horrifying from a moral point of view.
I can understand why you feel that way. But many companies simply doesn’t want to talk to people who wants to work part-time. (As in ”don’t call us, we’ll call you”.) So even if it might seem pushy to negotiate like that, at least to me it’s understandable.
I see this a lot from those who prefer IDE's.

It's not generally that people are saying it's impossible to do in an IDE, just that it's slower to do, and generally more awkward.

Just the other day on reddit I was having this "discussion" with someone, in which they claimed that because they have "find in files" in their IDE it's equivalent to vim `grep -iRl whatever`.

In reality I'm going to do what you're trying to do in a fraction of the time. IDE's have their advantages, but speed is not one of them.
Yep. Hugged to death, can’t seem to find a recent mirror/cache either.

That's quite a departure from "WFH isn't one-size-fits-all". If working from home isn't for everyone, why do you assume the office is?

> And yeah, a truly creative collaborative working environment can’t be replicated over video call.

Strongly disagree. I don't think you even real-time communication, much less video is required to have strong collaboration. There are certainly times when it helps, but even in those times I've never felt held back by jumping on a quick call vs an in-person meeting, and we almost never do video.

Yes but then the tests would formally describe the requirements - i.e.they would be a de-facto implementation. Congratulations, you just coded an (indirect) solution to your problem (a solution that you postulate is correct/bug-free)
> All I'd say is; Netflix have a pretty extreme culture[1]

Scary. From some extracts, it seems more a cult than a company:

> You question actions inconsistent with our values
> You seek what is best for Netflix, rather than what is best for yourself or your group
> You accomplish amazing amounts of important work

They're taken out of context, but could be interpreted as hints to how the company really works.

I can’t imagine anything more “pure negative” than a business culture with stack racking and firing people who aren’t “keepers”. Netflix’s success is from being first to market, pure and simple, and has nothing to do with a toxic management structure that, from all accounts, is abusive to its workforce.

So watching Netflix and YouTube gets more expensive? No, thanks. I'm fine with European net-neutrality and pay for bandwidth.
It would be horrible to live in a world like that. Imagine deciding to watch a shorter film on Netflix because you will pay less.
As a former wsj subscriber I wish I could pay a la cart for the article. Perhaps $1-2?

$37/month is high for a news source I usually read less than 5 articles per month. I already pay for Bloomberg/Economist/NYT/New Yorker but that’s because I regularly read double digit number of articles from them per month.

At the same time when social media (like hn) sends me to wsj I would gladly contribute proportionally to my utilization.
Because customers lose their minds with that model, largely as a result of conditioning that "internet" is an unlimited resource (which of course it is when instantaneous demand <= supply, but during high traffic periods that isn't the case).

Personally I understand the economics around it, but still don't like the idea of paying per GB. I would end up skipping some Netflix and would get mad at kids for playing Netflix to an empty room (much like I currently get mad when they leave the lights on in an empty room). It's nice on a personal level to avoid that.
What on earth are you on about
… I don't know how to respond. Mu, I guess? As I see it, you are mixing several senses of the word "to be", and the resulting question is meaningless.

The pattern of my mind is physically instantiated (as all the ten thousand things are), and it happens to be so instantiated on a brain. That brain is housed in a body. The pattern can direct the shape and properties of the body only to a limited extent: there are heavy restrictions which happen to constrain the power that pattern (or rather, its particular instantiation on this particular brain) has over the body. (We call these restrictions "biology".) I could no more order my body to become immortal than I could order the ocean waves to stand still: they are both governed by the same laws of physics over which I have almost no control. I could probably make my body immortal by some sufficiently clever manipulation of the world (possibly involving waves hands wildly nanobots), but the brain did not come pre-packaged with high-fidelity fine-grained control over its environment; the pattern can interact with the world only by flapping around bits of meat, and these are a very blunt instrument, highly unsuitable for difficult tasks like "reverse entropy in this region of space".
Yes this nullified his argument to me. Do I think WFH is some magical solution to everything? Hell no. But to claim it has "no positive effects" is disingenuous.
As a native English speaker and US citizen / resident I think you are 100% correct in your observation.
There are vast data archives exposed through private trackers that work on top of bittorrent. This isn't widely known due to their private, invite-only (and in some cases, entirely closed) nature but the fact remains that these exist and are fundamental in multiple, widely divergent communities.

The one in France is the causeway to Noirmoutier island. It's a two way road that is impassable at high tide. At both ends, prominent panels display warnings, the current time and the time of the next high tide. Still, there are regular occurences of people that lose their cars and have to be rescued from the shelter poles, and, very rarely, worse.

Incidentally, it's about the same length as this 3 mile path, 4.2 km.

Plank exercise. A minute or two seem to last forever. Or waiting for a microwave to heat your food.

Kidding aside, meditation can help, as can just being out in nature without keeping your mind busy by stressing out with a screen in front of you.
>if you are not above average for two performance cycles in a row they let you go.

that naturally results in what i anecdotally heard - anytime some corporate BS (which basically means anything not helping delivery as delivery is the most important thing at Netflix - again according to what i heard) is being pushed onto the employees there, the employees upon quickly mentally weighting "rejecting the BS vs. suffering performance hit and failing the delivery and loosing the half-million (or frequently even more) cash comp as the result" forcefully and successfully reject the BS most of the times :)
Riiiight... * slowly backs away*
It seems like your major grief is at serious odds with the design principles of the language itself.

It's very difficult to introduce any kind of synchronous behaviour that doesn't also allow deadlocks. "Locking" an actor to prevent it from processing messages would very trivially allow for deadlocks - and since Pony intends to avoid them by design, the language can't ever allow for it.

Why are promises not fit for your purpose?

The Constitution is setup to make sure both sides are radical, but usually at equal enough power that changes they make are agreed upon by both radical factions. Strong ideologies are good. Things go to shit when everyone is a mealy-mouthed, middle of the road moderate, or when one side gets too much power.

True, I see many Ruby, PHP and Java job postings and few Elixir/Phoenix jobs. I hope that will change, because Elixir is so much more productive and fun to program in IMHO. In the meantime I will be building awesome things with it.

Ask HN: Open-Source Software Newsletters
Does anyone know of any good newsletters that follow the open source software space? Even just a list of repos of new or interesting projects would be sufficient.
Because most people can figure out that:

CreateProcess(NULL,cmd,NULL,NULL,TRUE,CREATE_NO_WINDOW,NULL,NULL,&si,&pi);

is a terrible interface that we should try to split up better, but

CreateProcess(
lpApplicationName: NULL,
lpCommandLine: cmd,
lpProcessAttributes: NULL,
lpThreadAttributes: NULL,
bInheritHandles: TRUE,
dwCreationFlags: CREATE_NO_WINDOW,
lpEnvironment: NULL,
lpCurrentDirectory: NULL,
lpStartupInfo: &si,
lpProcessInfo: &pi,
);

tends not to attract the same scrutiny for some reason. On the other hand, removing named parameters doesn't actually fix this (see jasode's example at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24401913 so I don't need another dozen lines), so it's not clear that this is a good argument against named parameters.
It was new in that it was computer controlled. General Electric had demonstrated a 4-legged walking truck in 1965.[1] Arms and legs were slaved to the operator's arms and legs. It was very hard to drive. Trying to do that with computer control in 1985 was worth trying.

Building the prototype at full scale, not so much. If they'd gone through a few iterations starting with a dog sized version, it might have worked out better. But there was a political problem. DARPA funded a pony-sized legged walker in the late 1960s[2], and it was publicly shamed as a waste of taxpayer money by Sen. Proxmire. So DARPA went for one big enough to carry a real load.

Early thinking about legged locomotion was all about gait and foot placement. It turns out that balance dominates foot placement, and slip control dominates balance once you get off the flat.

Today, most of the problems have been solved, and there's still no market. Which is disappointing.

I agree with this counterview. I manage a small dev team, I've found many inexperienced developers are less willing to admit an issue in understanding a tasks requirements (or how to complete a task) during a zoom call, especially when there is an audience (even +1 additional person).

I try to read body language to gauge if I need to explain further without putting people on the spot. I can usually can get by with video-on Zoom calls, but that's still a bit different... I can't make eye contact with a specific person and judge the reaction since they don't know who I'm looking at

Before you refer to "WFH kool aid", it's critical to realize that the vast majority of jobs have been office-bound and that WFH wasn't even an option for most people who wanted it.

I know I'd rather be coding from a beach than in a fluorescent-lit cubicle (and I do). Even if it's more productive for Bill to barge into my cubicle than wait for me to respond to his Slack message.

Let's at least let our work culture hit a nice 50/50 split between office jobs and remote jobs before we damn the WFH movement too much.

Btw, the "kool aid" you're seeing is companies grappling with a pandemic. It's not like fanatical WFHers have spontaneously become ascendent in our society.
Or the exact reverse. Customer pays a small-dollar figure to ensure they get a more meaningful support response. Either way an idea I'm not a huge fan of.
I don't know of anything except Wouxun Dual and TH-D72 that can do it (that are HTs).

If a D72 is your cheapest HT, then well, congrats.

That seems to suppose that it's not possible to apply common sense reasoning to fictional scenarios. Asking the system whether a scenario ever could have happened is not the same as asking it to imagine an impossible scenario. The system's willingness to consider impossible scenarios doesn't mean the system believes those scenarios are possible.
Yeah this definitely feels like a Python 2/3 type situation. They solved one minor issue but require the whole world to update.

I'm not even convinced they couldn't have done it in a backwards compatible way. Why not stick with SHA-1 but also add SHA-256 for verification for clients that support it?

Ask HN: Is there an alternative title to founder?
In the past I thought titles were silly little trinkets for the ego (still do for the most part), but have learned that they can be important in terms of establishing credibility with people you don't know, etc.

About 10 years ago, I started with a startup about a month after their founding, there was only one other developer who was to be frank terrible, did a ton of sweat equity work to the point that I was working for free for a number of months, but never bothered to stake claim to a title. The company eventually sold for $500MM. I came out with a very healthy exit given the sweat equity, but don't have my name associated with it as, say, CTO, which in effect I was for about 18 months.

Now, I've become involved with a startup. I have about $100K in the seed round of $500K, am working full time as the only programmer. Since I'm not one of the guys who actually started the company, I don't feel I should call myself a founder. I was there pretty much day 1, though, and working as if I were a founder. I'd like to make sure I stake claim to a title this time, but am not sure what it would be.

Thoughts?
I don’t know much about protocol version pacing, but was lack of substantial changes part of the reason it has taken 12 full years to get a client to support v2?

I turned to mindfulness/meditation as a tool when I was about to burn out. My brain seems sensitive in general to any kind of stimulation I should add...
At my fourth or fifth attempt at a so called “body scan” my mind just “dropped” - it was as if everything went silent and I could not decide whether I was asleep or wake.

The best way I can describe my experience in this state, that I’m able to reach from time to time, is like being in between frames of film - I’m in the dark part after one frame, not reaching the next, and everything is just still.

Controlled but yet completely uncontrolled and a few minutes feels much much longer, but nothing makes me want to leave.

After the first time it happened I ran out to my wife and yelled “holy expletive! Now I get what this thing is about!”.

It really made a change for me and it makes my brain/mind feel about the same as it does after a run. Fresh.
