Even if we don't have enough data for a causal link, from the information you've provided, it sounds like the elevated heart rates were more correlated with your poor sleep schedule than with your COVID infection.

Also consider that taking on strenuous exercise when you haven't done it in a while is going to cause elevated heart rates, beyond what your previous normal heart rate was during that exercise. Regular exercise will also eventually lower your resting heart rate. I think "starting a new strenuous exercise regimen" (because yes, after a year's break, that counts as "new") would also be unsurprisingly linked to elevated heart rates, even resting.

Certainly the burning sensation in your chest area is concerning, but did you rule out the more simple and common cause: acid reflux?

I agree that it's unfortunate that there hasn't been enough research on consumer health monitoring data, but I don't think your story says much about the cardiologists' diagnostic process. But I also expect that, with the general lack of understanding of the long-term effects of COVID, many doctors are not equipped to diagnose lingering health issues stemming from an infection.

But IANAD(octor), so what do I know.
The attacks, few as they were, are not BS. What was made out of them was, is and always will be utter horse crap. What worries me is people, who believe that, pushing policy based on those believes.
I think both "build a cool thing and then see" and "find a problem" both miss quite a bit- what really matters is what motives people have and whether you can make something they perceive to be valuable. The idea that Apple and Amazon didn't largely succeed based on understanding motives and just 'found cool new applications for maturing technologies' has no basis in anything I have read about how they grew. Instead, each had someone at the helm who was very good at understanding the motives of customers and what people value. If you want to have a successful product without wasting a lot of time trying out cool ideas, you can learn what people care about and waste less time. Even better, map your own assumptions and test those, not solutions to problems you think other people have.

Ah! I now see why you think he is bad at politics. I'm sorry to shatter your illusions.

In a better system, it would be. But this is UK politics. If you don't win outright, you lose. Therefore, for most of us, we don't vote _for_ our preferred candidate, we vote _against_ our enemy. I haven't had the luxury of voting Lib Dem for years - I'd just be throwing my vote away.

Starmer only needs to present himself as the end of the tories. That's what the country wants more than anything else. They would vote for a sack of potatoes if it looked like the best chance of rooting out the tories.

No matter how credible, sane, fully costed or appealing his policy may be, the Mail and the Sun will use it to sow FUD, and his vote will decrease. Fuck, you think our electorate votes on policy? No, my friend. They vote based on emotive rhetoric.

If he remains anodyne, his enemies can only clutch mist. The plebs can project their desires onto him. He presents very little attack surface to the media.

Contrast with Corbyn. Out of context, when offered his manifesto policies, the plebs liked them far better than tory policy - yet he failed to win. Why? Because he was wide open to attack. The media painted him as a crank. They drowned him in FUD. Swing voters voted against him because they thought he'd crash the economy or disband the army or something. They didn't read his manifesto - they read Littlejohn lying about his manifesto. They read clickbait published by motivated liars in their Facebook feeds.

For clarity, Corbyn would have been a poor PM, but hopefully you now see that leadership quality is immaterial to the electoral process. If not, look outside.

No; Starmer must at all costs avoid throwing away his victory. He must stay mum except for occasionally - not too often - giving a little shove when the Tory self-destruction looks like slowing down. Keep the focus on them and win by default.
Egads! Conspiracy theorists really like to make their views known at any chance, as if it’s a lack of awareness that is why people dismiss them. “This time I know it, this time when people hear the earth is flat and the moon landing was faked they’ll all start believing!! I know it”

Yes this is a dismissive way to reply but at some point there is no point in addressing theses theories on merit, providing evidence or reason to flat earthers and the like doesn’t persuade them and it instead it emboldens them somehow while they eagerly provide reams of willfully misinterpreted “facts”

I suspect this will be unpopular but I'm a Redis avoider these days. I have run it in production for a few years on large projects and while it does what it says on the tin, I'd rather use another solution because having a proper schema and database engine turns out to be a really important thing on anything more than trivial. Numerous scary moments over the years which involve late nights unfucking things which would not have been issues on schema'd and carefully typed databases.

My position is that memcache is still a better cache (with a suitable static type system and serializer) and postgres is still a better database.

> People really, really do not understand what living rural is like.

The same criticism applies equally well to rural dwellers about urban life which is why someone rural could be shocked by the idea someone might actively choose to to travel by high quality public transportation.

I have lived both rural and urban and actively choose urban. Rural is a fine choice too, but rural dwellers shouldn't expect their energy intensive and economically expensive lifestyle to be subsidized by urban dwellers forever. Maintaining a huge road network with relatively low utilization is massively expensive and western rural life is currently among the most carbon intensive lifestyles.
Jira and the ticketization and subdivision of work into trivial units, removing real ownership of a feature. It's not that I'm against planning work over time, but there should be a minimum level of a granularity that's more than a few lines of code at a time so that a single person can effectively design, implement, debug, polish, and ultimately ship a meaningful chunk of work -- at the feature level, ideally -- rather than some minor subsystem that then gets integrated into a bunch of other subunits of work by three or four other people and then tested by yet more people who had no prior contact with the body of work. This sort of divide-and-conquer, IME, leads to terrible user experiences and unmaintainable code because no one person or team or has oversight or ownership into the final integrated product.

I only had this problem at companies with heavy middle management and not enough engineering input into processes, often with no engineering leadership at the top or upper middle. I eventually quit that job because I was so frustrated by the stupid bureaucracy and my micromanaging direct manager, who wasn't very experienced in the frontend world and kept suggesting (nay, insisting) on inappropriate solutions based on his prior knowledge from 10 years ago in a different field.

I got 10x more work done before they implemented the new system and brought on the new manager. This sort of system was intended to bring up the bottom performers and help them stay accountable, but as one of the higher performers on my team (according to my reviews, anyway), it constantly hampered me and prevented me from getting meaningful work done. I spent way more time fighting the bureaucracy and shuffling Jira tickets between like 8 columns and more subcolumns (that nobody really followed anyway) than coding. Quit soon after that, after complaining to our VP with a detailed report about why the new system wasn't working and was actually hurting productivity. All he did was ask me to hide the report so I wouldn't embarrass anyone =/

All my best work was done in the opposite situation: small teams with high autonomy and minimal managerial interference. We still had frequent checkpoints and demos, but the engineers did the actual design and coding, and we were measured by our outputs, not our processes.
It was in response to GP's comment about the "US car tax"; I'm pointing out that no matter how someone gets around, there is going to be some kind of tax. I don't mean to imply that public roads are free.

But I do mean to imply that often times comparisons are made between car-centric cities and public transit-centric cities without any close attention to the actual costs involved, nor a sober cost-benefit analysis. It seems like it's usually categorical statements like "public transit is better and cars shouldn't exist" or "you'll pry the steering wheel from my cold, dead fingers".

> Public transportation being held to a standard of direct profit is something no other public infrastructure is expected to achieve.

Perhaps most people don't think about it, but even roads and bridges need to be profitable one way or another. There are many famous examples of "bridges to nowhere"-type public works projects throughout history where some massive infrastructure work was done in a place that won't use that level of infrastructure, usually through corruption. Everyone loses when that happens.

I guess public transit systems seem to be unfairly targeted for (as you said) "a standard of direct profit" because it's usually built and maintained by a centralized authority, vs. roads which are built and maintained by many different layers of government, with more diffuse paths of revenues and expenditures.

>We don’t do that because it’s costly in silicon, and it’s costly in wasted energy, which just ends up heating the board up. We’ve done the more Raspberry Pi thing, which is make a supply that can drive a five-amp load at five volts, which isn’t a standard PD mode, but you can negotiate it.

Why is that the more raspberry pi thing? I think it's silly. Sure, the board would heat up more but 5v 5a is just weird. You might as well not even have usb-c then and just use a barrel jack. You can override it and hope it works out, like they promise it probably will, but that's janky. using 5v just moves the losses to the cable instead of the buck regulator.
That's uplifting to hear. So far my friend has seemed more or less okay for a couple months. Fingers crossed. I honestly had no idea if these things could just go away on their own. It sounds like it's possible at least.
Bloomberg invests in Node.js – Shouldn't you?
I've lost a lot of faith in medical professionals recently to the point I almost don't want to waste time with them unless I really have to. I was having issues with severe pain and tension in all of my movements. My doctor shrugged it off twice, the third time my wife came and she read him the riot act for not taking me seriously. I did a blood test same day and my rheumatoid factors were so off the charts(doctors words) he was surprised I wasn't more vocal. Dude, I came to see you two times before, I need to cause a scene in your office to get real care?

Then my wife went for hip surgery. We were told it was routine, everything is going to be great, less pain, better range of motion. My wife came out of the ER with the inability to move her leg, drop foot, nerve damage. She went in able and came out disabled. 3 big surgeries later, she can walk again. UCSF doesn't want to hear us out on anything related to that botched surgery and the surgeon has since moved to New York.

Dealing with medical professionals is like dealing with toddlers. You have to push them on everything or they simply do not care.

I've seen places appear to use Google as an IDP but the reality was that Okta or Active Directory held the actual corporate identity management with a few select developer tooling hooked into a secondary domain hosted in Google Workspace. Those companies appear on the surface to be following best practices but leaver are constantly forgotten about because corporate IT will remove them from AD and nobody will tell "DevOps" (or whoever owns Google Workspace) to remove those same leavers as well. Which obviously then creates significant risk.

Often these places end up with two domains because working with Corporate IT is painful for agile development scrums. But the issue there is company culture, not the IDP.

I'm yet to see anyone use Google Workspace effectively at enterprise scale (startups, sure. But startups optimise for speed of development, not long term scalability).

You could, before they removed that feature. They want it to be very locked down, Valve obviously does not. Valve has made a very gaming-tailored machine, yeah. But due to still being very easy to do general computer things on I wouldn't classify it as a console.

Otherwise, are stationary PCs custom built for only gaming, such as those used at e-sports tournaments, consoles? They don't have the same customized software stack, but neither does the Deck in comparison to a PS5, imo.

Russia was the last country in the region to convert to Orthodoxy. The Balkans had already been Orthodox before Russia due to Byzantine influence. And as I said, even at a late date those regions of Romania were under heavy Greek influence due to Phanariot rule. If you believe that Russia has anything to do with Romania’s Orthodoxy, that is such a basic factual error that, again, I question that you possess any actual familiarity with the history of the country and its culture.

Software wise they've done good work.

Speaking from trying alternative Linux devices eg. Pine64 I'm just done with it. I bought almost all of it eg. both phones, newest arm tablet, laptop, earphones... but yeah end of the day it's just a PITA. I'm done with managing how my ram works or not having suspend. Unfortunately I'm not a god dev like megous to bust out a camera driver.

Get an old flagship for same price and get better use.

Yeah I pulled out. I wanted it to happen but idk it sucks. I hope in the future there are more options than just Apple/Android.

Tangent. I have this "fetish" it seems of low-powered compute. even though I don't need to eg. I have an i9 desktop. But it was cool to dock a phone/use it on a computer... but I guess right now you have to pay for it eg. a Samsung note flagship (even old) so you have enough ram. But it's like intentionally crippling yourself for a fantasy use case (my mindset) eg. writing code while traveling in another country with your phone. "But it would be cool to do".

In the future IDX will be there, just login to a dumb terminal but give up your ability for cloud too.
Really hard to make this stuff. It would be pretty neat if whiteboxed phones would show up that are the equivalent of Clevo/Sager that other brands could specialize to and relabel. I imagine there's a lot of work in making the next phone in each of these cases that is probably better spent on the software platform.

Good for them for trying, of course. Impressive work.
Ask HN: Why are domain registrars so bad?
Domain registrars have a general sense of being bad: sleazy, upselling, cross-selling, poaching domains based on searches.

The ones that look like they could be good get sold off (google domains, gandi), and presumably will also become bad.

Why is this? Are the margins so thin? Is there no way to make money as a good domain registrar?

Why hasn’t a publicly-funded entity been established to bring some goodness (like letsencrypt did for certs)? Is there something fundamentally different about domains?

Edit: Having thought about it a bit more, there is something fundamentally different about domains vs. certs: scarcity.

Domains are a scarce resource, so there must be some mechanism to prevent bad actors from claiming them all in a land grab. Charging for rental of the domain serves this purpose (for better or worse).

Certificates are not a scarce resource. Nobody really loses by issuing them for free.

The best that a non-profit domain registrar could do would be to charge no additional fees on top of those mandated by the tld. As mentioned elsewhere in the thread, other actors (like cloudflare) are already doing this. So there’s not much room for “true disruption” (like there was with let’s encrypt).
Strange timing. Unwatchable from Europe really. There must be some significance to the timing particularly given it's a pre-recorded event.
You can’t take money with you when you die, so why not spend it on fun things?

Obviously you need to be able to “afford it”, but what that means depends a lot on subjective opinion and risk appetite.

For me, I have bought a handful of new and used vehicles in the last several years. Probably something like $300k total in 5 years? They are fun.

Bragging about spending less is no different than bragging about spending more.
