For the issue of "fingers are cold but gloves affect mobility", purchasing a pair of thumbhole arm warmers have made a world of difference for me
They're almost like fingerless gloves, but more comfortable and easier to manage.
You might be worried "but it's the fingers that are cold anyway, so fingerless gloves are not what I need." I thought that too, but trying them immediately proved me wrong and I never had an issue with cold fingers again. I'm fairly sure it's because warming your wrists/palms keep your blood from losing heat in those areas, so your fingers get much warmer circulation.
For something less than $10, it's probably the best purchase I've made for working in the winter
I find it a bit upsetting that in true HackerNews character, so many comment just to express that the author's thoughts are naíve, unfounded, or just plain wrong.
This is what I got from her writing:
1. She hates this because it's scarred her and loved ones.
2. This is invisible though. I think radiation is an apt analogy. It's everywhere all the time, but rarely enough to do damage.
3. But it can hurt you and she has seen the scars.
4. It's very possible that you've never seen it's effects and never will.
And I struggle to see how to disagree with these points. A significant portion of her post is admitting that her description will not be a perfect one.
I feel she openly acknowledges that she could be wrong. And I also feel it would only be courteous for us, the readers, to acknowledge she could just be right.
I felt similarly. Half way through the post, I couldn't help but just feel... bad. She was right, it's ultimately just her thoughts but reading it felt deeply dangerous in my gut and I strongly considered stopping half way through. But I also felt it would be worse to just walk away with just the "dangerous" half of the story, and that I should finish reading.
I'm glad that I read through to the end, if only for the last few sentences - and a part of me wishes they came sooner in the post. It was a reassuring for me to read and I hope it is for you as well, something for you hold on to if you do decide to revisit the post:
> Don’t let this post tell you how you should feel. Take this article lightly, take it as a pointer, take it as art. Ultimately, checking in with how you actually feel is the answer. I don’t mean to imply this is easy; it’s often really hard to know how you feel, and maybe it changes often and frame controllers put in a lot of effort to obfuscate this. But in the end, careful attention to your own sensations are your saving grace.
I would agree with your points if not for the fact that "clean up commits" or "typo fix" is a necessary result of PR's.
Your teammate will request changes in your code, and the only way to cleanly communicate "yes I made that change, and ONLY that change" is through these clean-up commits.
Otherwise, if you amend/force-push or open an entirely new PR, 99% of the diff are things that your team has already seen and reviewed.
Squash merges let you clearly communicate how you addressed PR comments, while also keeping the master history clean.

South Korea. Restaurants are fully open, cafe's are full, busses and trains are so packed during rush hour that you're pushed up against three or four other bodies that you'd prefer not to be so close and personal with.
Strictly speaking, yes there is a second wave. Many weeks ago it was <10 new cases/day, which has now climbed to a steady ~60 new cases/day.
But that number isn't exploding, it's been consistent for several weeks now. Nearly everyone goes about their daily lives, only that they all wear masks.
Both this article and your comment are interesting to hear because in my experience of talking to those in anti-malware detection companies, the number that they care about more than anything is reducing their false positive detection.
This is completely anecdotal, of course, but "The first time you prevent an executive from sending e-mails because you think Outlook is malware, is the last time they run your software."
Now, it's my ideal keyboard
