You could check to see if one of his games has that position using https://fenfinder.com (site I built). Of course it's a long shot given the huge possibility-space of unique positions, but hey, one can hope :).

Re:Ask HN: How do you answer “where do you see yourself in 5 years?”
on Saturday May 16, 2020 @01:19PM (#23205292)
Predicting the future is really hard, and a lot can happen in 5 years. I would reframe the question to a more reasonable time-domain and talk about my personal and/or professional growth goals. If you don’t have any then this is worth spending some time thinking about. In my experience, if you don’t prioritize your time then someone else will, and they’ll likely have different goals than you.

Thanks for the comment. I don't know the answer but came here to ask this too. It seems really useful to be able to objectively measure the efficacy of noise cancellation across diverse products.

Second Asana. I've been using it for years and it has really improved tremendously over that time. There are definitely still many things missing (most notably for me is the lack of advanced markup in comments/conversations)... but it works very well for cross-functional collaboration and longer-term project management.

+1 for Terraforming Mars. I enjoy playing it solo as well as with a group. There is enough variety in the cards to keep it fresh and the difficulty ramps up quickly.

Wow--thanks for the update. Buffering to memory before writing to disk is definitely a great feature (especially when operating out of AWS) and could be enough for us to switch to unilog.
Regarding the timestamps. We've actually gotten quite used to TAI64N--it's definitely not human parseable but it is extremely specific :) We end up just piping logs through tai64nlocal or converting it at the logstash stage.
Re:Stripe: Open Source

Would be interested to hear from the devs about the actual reasons they chose to write unilog (https://github.com/stripe/unilog) instead of using multilog (which ships with Daemontools).
Agreed that multilog is arcane and weird but what are the actual problems with it that unilog solves?
