>So if the vast majority of people survive, we should just let it rip?

No, we should still attempt to fight it but doing so without lockdown/masks.

lockdown/masks cause misery which is should not be ignored.

> Without any counter measures such as masks or lockdowns the rate of infection would be significantly higher resulting - Tens of millions more dead

South Dakota never lockdown nor have mask mandate

Sweeden as well.

Florida mostly not lockdown

They are doing fine.

There are no significant difference between place that doing lockdown/mask compared to place that don't.

The way covid death is counted right now is highly misleading because it including everything remotely related to covid, for example death due to heart attack while being positive for covid is counted as covid death.

Death is not the sole metric, yes reducing death is a good thing but if it attempted by increasing misery due to lockdown then I don't want it.
The primary concern would be finding co-founders. Because as you said you can hire experienced professionals, but finding that initial fouding members is a bit more difficult, I think. I was just wondering what methods have other people used in order to find that partner/partners.

I've written about this: https://www.hjorthjort.xyz/2018/02/21/the-deathbed-fallacy.h...

My main issue with the deathbed advice is exactly what he calls "hindsight bias". The deathbed advice is more of a wish-list -- it's not like they were thinking at the time "I should work harder" or "I don't live as my true self, and that's fine". I try to not work too hard, but I also try to make a good and meaningful career for myself. Do I just work less hard? I try to live as my authentic self, but looking back 5 years I see I was probably not doing, in a bunch of ways that seem obvious now but weren't at the time. I wish I had stayed in touch with some of my friends, but quite a few of them I'm happy I cut ties with.

I take no big offence with the advice in general. I think most people recognize that list as things that are sensible and lead to a higher-quality life. If these advice came from a generic life-coach, we'd shrug and say "good points, seems about right, easier said than done". But somehow, because they are "deathbed regrets" they get a veneer of sage-likeness.

Then again, here we are arguing about articles on Hacker News, so what the hell do we know about happiness?
It’s more complicated than that. A donation to a streamer is much more like a “tip” than a gift, and tips are clearly taxable despite not having any obligations associated with them.

The big empirical evidence that those deathbed platitudes are right: The Harvard Adult Development Study. The results are clear: achievements (even for people who achieve incredible, world changing things that most of us could never hope to come close to) aren't strongly correlated with happiness at any age. Good interpersonal relationships, in contrast, are the most powerful happiness determining factor.
Honestly unless a candidate would have to learn to code in a significantly different paradigm (eg has only OOP experience and the work is in Erlang), I can’t think of a reason why prior experience with the language would be an issue.

Post-Covid consumer spending boom 'implausible', says Treasury official
We all start out loving callbacks, eventually progress to coroutines, and finally end up writing polling loops. It took me more than 30 years to figure this out.

I understand completely why most people disagree - I always disagreed even louder.
For example, a dying person may say: "I regret every day I spent at work; the career was absolutely not worth it; I wish I would have spent more time with my friends and family" without being worried about potential impact on their future employment.

Dying can give you the ultimate form of freedom of speech, when you are also free from the consequences.

I agree that a person who cares about how they will be remembered has an incentive to lie. But is it greater than before that?
Russia annexed Crimea, and eastern Ukraine has been invaded by Russia, which is currently mostly using proxies in place of its own regular army, but these proxies have been created, trained, financed and armed entirely by Russia, and are therefore not a side in a civil war. Choice of words matters.
Taking small children on a boat hundreds of miles from the nearest hospital is, frankly, a lot more dangerous than people realize. I'm not saying it's not doable, but those people are taking way more risk than I'd be comfortable with.
Definitely. They allowed Trump's posts because it got people enraged, every tweet causing a storm of tweets from all camps, all going after each other and trying to 'debate', but in the end it became a meaningless cauldron of activity with a net effect of zero...

...for the participants anyway, for Twitter, any engagement, any activity, any pair of eyes on their service translates to money, both directly (ad impressions) and indirectly (engagement correlates with stock price). In the past year - less Trump, more Covidiots - Twitter's stock price has doubled.
Good point. But, in the absence of any other solution, there is at least some data there, sitting in the log files.

Definitely respect the author for admitting he was wrong, but it's also scary to see how strongly people can feel about tech they clearly don't understand.

Like most of us, I've been there myself in multiple occasions. It's not something I'm proud of and I'm grateful this behavior wears off when getting more experienced.

If you think 'this sucks because I don't understand this', chances are it doesn't really suck and you need to either learn more or shut up.

Spark lets users query via regular SQL or DSL (Scala, PySpark).

The DSLs are generally better to work with. Complex queries can be broken up into composable functions that can be mixed and matched to perform different analyses. Functions are easier to unit test, document, deal with quoting better, can be type safe, etc.

Some super-complex queries are still better to write with regular SQL.

New query DSLs don't need to reinvent the wheel. They can implement their query capabilities using the Row / Column / DataFrame abstractions that are elegant and familiar in popular projects like Spark. We need an ANSI query engine DSL.

I wouldn't say they're the same thing except from a brand name perspective. Okta is barely app-focused; much more enterprise SSO. Auth0 is extremely app-focused, although they can do some enterprise SSO as well.

Okta bought Stormpath (and killed it) and now Auth0 because of this difference, and because there's a finite total addressable market for employees, but an almost infinite total addressable market for app users.
I think HN has been recently overtaken by a lot of very neoliberal people who preach unregulated capitalism very hard.
I think this gets the “incumbents” argument slightly wrong. The argument is not that Bitcoin is “valueless”, but that it is a purely speculative instrument with little to no intrinsic value.

It doesn’t seem to have a path towards becoming a global medium of exchange, and it would be a store of value in the same sense as other speculative instruments like baseball or pokemon cards.

The arise of a new speculative instrument would also _seem like_ Bitcoin today, so I think a little more proof is needed to claim what we are seeing is the rise of a new monetary system.
First of all, they clearly state the need for some amount of consensus here: https://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-pouwelse-trustchain-01.html#...

Second, if multiple parties are involved (I have to assume you mean more than just the needed 2 parties), wouldn't that mean you must be connected to a wider internet?
We ran with 0 hosts so in between requests, we had a lot of things failing or getting killed. The pattern of firing up a background thread from a request, returning immediately, and processing in the background simply did not work for us. The same logic worked fine elsewhere so it really was the environment. You can't really use it like a stateful environment.

In some cases we saw no evidence of the job even starting because the whole thing died right after the request returned. In other cases it would start but never finish. The actual import jobs weren't that big even. It was just super flaky.

The whole problem went away as soon as we gave it a dedicated vm. All I did was run the same container and then trigger the same request via a curl command sshed into the vm. Ugly but it got the job done.
This comment seems a lot easier to write for somebody who's not on their deathbed. It's one thing to wax poetic about how somebody should approach death, and it's another thing to actually face it yourself. I think there's something important about the phrase "I don't want to die", and it's not particularly helpful to be dismissive of that. Most of us are going to be scared when facing death, and I think that's okay.
I can confirm it's awesome :) Maybe try ordering from Europe, I didn't see stock problems anywhere here (some reverse taxing would apply sadly)
> Well said, Cephalus, I replied; but as concerning justice, what is it? --to speak the truth and to pay your debts --no more than this? And even to this are there not exceptions? Suppose that a friend when in his right mind has deposited arms with me and he asks for them when he is not in his right mind, ought I to give them back to him? No one would say that I ought or that I should be right in doing so, any more than they would say that I ought always to speak the truth to one who is in his condition.

IDE intelligence for React component props is one of benefit of a library written with TS.

Are we talking jwt-style bearer tokens? They have their own issues.

Better to have the auth server issue a single-use token that gets exchanged for a properly scoped session cookie on the app (sub)domain.

Edit: Of course, then you also need some sort on central session storage, to properly deal with logging out.
Typescript is a superset of JavaScript. Valid JavaScript is also valid Typescript. Therefore anything that you can do in JavaScript is also possible in Typescript.

Raised money from VCs for my last startup. Series A investor made all sorts of overtures about how founder friendly they were and how supportive they would be.

The week after we closed our series A they told me I had to hire a COO. I asked, "You trying to get me to hire my replacement?" "No, we'd never do that. How could you even think that?"

Less than two months after we hired the COO they fired me. The COO was made the CEO and he ran the company into the ground.

The lesson for founders is to never, ever, ever give up control of your board/company. Always maintain control of a majority of the board seats.

Yep, I muddled words there but antibiotic resistance is a related concern:

>You're catching a set of errors (interface / types, method signature changes) that are difficult to catch in JavaScript without types when you're refactoring. Intended behavior is still validated with your set of unit tests.

I want to challenge this a bit. Your unit test suite should also be able to catch all these things with the right assertions. There's nothing about JavaScript, in either syntax or semantics, that make these especially difficult to test for (notwithstanding some of the more famous footguns, but those are well known).

To put it plainly... If I change the argument order of a function/method, the associated unit test absolutely should fail. If it doesn't, I'd argue the test wasn't written properly.

To me, this just smells like an ergonomics preference. As in— do you prefer writing unit tests or type annotations? The latter comes with some transpiling and dependency overhead, so I've just opted for the former.

Again, I do like your concept, so I'm only being critical because I'd like to try, but there are two things holding me back

1. I have to enter my credit card for a 7 day trial

2. then I have to email you to cancel it within 7 days. I should be able to hit a button

There should be a free trial, no credit card.

I'm usually one to get the annual subscription on services, so I would get that here, but like a gym, i can't cancel after 7 days if I don't think I'm getting value, and I think this type of service would take more than a week to know if it's valuable. $10 more per month for monthly seems steep.

I'm putting this in the perspective of Gym membership costs, idk if other people think the same way.
"In public hands" can mean a lot of things.

For example, if I run a business which banks do not approve of, then they can block my account or make it impossible to make transfers. What good does it if the bank is "in public hands" in that case?

As someone that has had one or two "deathbed" experiences, I can say two things struck me about them

1) I felt complete peace about dying. In fact, I had to reason myself towards wanting to live

2) I felt a level of clarity about what was important to me that I have never felt before (or since). I struggle to incorporate that into my life on an ongoing basis.

I think these experiences were a terrible gift. I would wish everyone experienced the clarity I had but I could not wish you had to go where I did to get it.

Neat! It's interesting how starting with small-scale applications can work better than the theoretically more-efficient stationary applications, because you can iterate and mass-produce.

Our household subscribes to The Washington Post and The New York Times. If the radio is on, it is tuned to NPR.

I have relatives who do not get a print paper, but tend to read the The New York Post and The Washington Examiner on-line. The watch Fox News and at some point probably listened to Rush Limbaugh.

Do we get rather different views of what is going on? I can't see how we could not. Did an algorithm have anything to do with this? You would have to dramatically stretch the sense of "algorithm" to say so.
I do wish that we had more solid research to back this claim. As it stands the claim that people are incentivized to be enraged is a single person’s opinion that resonate with people’s current beliefs. There are a number of other trends going on at a macro level and it seems like this one is an obvious culprit but nobody is doing the work to collect and analyze the data to back this up.

I once had this situation at an old job, and I ended up working around it by putting a lock around the re-computation: all requests had to wait for the 5-ish seconds while the cache was being refreshed.

In this case, per-request latency wasn't as important as total throughput of the system over time. And the individual requests were small, so building up a queue of unhandled requests wasn't a problem.

I have no idea if this is considered a "good" solution, but it worked well enough for me at the time.

I think you're overstating the degree to which the War of 1812 is remembered by most people. I'm relatively familiar with American history and I could tell you it involved the burning of the White House, the writing of the national anthem, a border dispute with Canada, and something about impressing American sailors. But that's about it.
Which I'm not discussing, I'm only discussing that an increase in testing leads to an increase in diagnoses.
You don’t need to go this path; modern(-ish) APM systems like Datadog will let you trace SQL commands in the context of the request being made. You can group by endpoint, or group by sql (merging IDs that differ), or chop and filter the data however you need. The DB is not in a position to give you all the stats you need; instead the DB should support e.g. exporting plan info to further enrich the whole-request metrics that are already being collected.

I use this in prod; it’s great. Expensive though.

> Yes, you can learn to regulate yourself. But everyone doesn't currently live in that world

Humans are not going to turn into stoics anytime soon.

Also, decades of advertisement are teaching billions of people to "follow your dreams", "your opinion is important", "just do it", "indulge yourself", "act on impulse".

It's not surprising that selfishness, ruggedness, entitlement, contentiousness come out of it.

Furthermore, our ability to "regulate ourselves" depends on many aspects often out of our immediate control: being in good mental and physical health, not under social and financial pressure, not hungry or cold, not treated badly in our workplaces or society and so on.

It's easy to act "stoic" when your life is good.

The word I use for this in casual conversation (not claiming credit for) is "aggro porn". I read once that anger is a powerful (useful) reward circuit in the brain, the problem is it increases stress hormones which have deleterious effects over time.

I'm sure it's intentional but I presume it's also somewhat inevitable that platforms with user generated and user amplified content will represent the reward circuits of the brain. Which, at 30,000 ft. makes it obvious which circuits Instagram, Tiktok, Reddit, et.al., even Hacker News are triggering.
