How do you spot and fix disk problems apart from checking the Disk Queue Length as mentioned below?

Imanarion Ask HN: Data Matching and Reconciliation machine learning algorithms suggestions

In your example it seems the primary clue to find matches is the name, i.e. 'ABC' + Corp/Des/etc. So how about doing some fuzzy string matching? Once you have done this you can identify edge cases and additionally group by dates or whatever.

So you would have 'ABC' in L and a selection of matches in S. If not all of the matches in S actually belong to the ABC in L you are faced with the Knapsack Problem[0] that you can solve with different methods(sorry, no expert here).

That makes a lot of sense! Especially the breathing out part could compound the direct effect of the drug. These long and pleasant breath-outs that you do when you got something done and can finally kick back.

Imanarion Ask HN: How do I get out of the procrastination abyss?

Try mindfulness meditation, it is almost magical. Procrastination just kind of went away. Am I super productive 100% of the time? No, I still watch Netflix. But these negative thought loops and self-hate that makes procrastination feel so nasty go away.

I use the app 'Waking Up' from Sam Harris, and I find it absolutely brilliant.

Wall slides [1]

They are quick and easy to perform and surprisingly effective. After 20 of them I fell my back and neck muscles kind of "activated". They wont fix everything but they are a good immediate action and will also make you more aware of your posture and muscles.

Imanarion If you want to save the world, veganism isn’t the answer

Keep in mind that the majority of soy and corn a fed to animals. In this context the argument that "soy farms deplete the soils and destroy forrests" becomes a lot weaker...

Yes, roaming, free living animals are good for the planet, but you don't have to eat them to have them roaming around.

Imanarion Ask HN: Is Google Chrome's autotranslate feature a huge vulnerability?

Not directly answering your question but stil relevant. At a fairly big company I worked at as a student I was able to circumvent the website blocker of the company by just applying google translate to the site. Formatting and images etc. were lost but it enabled me to browse reddit.
