Hello everyone! This is Aditya. For past couple of months, I have been working on Hyperlog which helps you build the modern type of resume. The main motivation behind this was that unlike other professions such as Artist/Photographers where they can show their portfolios, developers do not have any such platform. So we help you build the portfolio by doing the complete code analysis of your public Git repositories. We build your portfolio page and you can host this on your own custom domain too.

We are still in early stages of testing out the product, so please feel free to contact me about anything.
> What if it costs more electricity to produce this glass than it will ever produce in its entire lifespan?

Fair question. This was precisely the problem with early solar cells. I think one has to take a multi-decade view on some of these things. If the science tells us we can improve the technology within a reasonable time horizon and achieve positive ROI, then it makes sense. Otherwise it is a bad idea.

Side note: We don't want UV light inside buildings. If this kind of glass makes economic sense and it can filter out UV light while producing some electricity, it is a win-win. I believe nearly all glass used in large buildings has UV cut coatings/treatment. If the cost is comparable this could be a viable substitute. The problem, of course, is that this might not be viable as a retrofit but rather something you would include in new designs (you need a new electrical design for the building in order to connect all glass to the grid).
Weird. Is Germany's circle at the centroid of West Germany, maybe?
My point is there isn't an "enable FC" option in the base FreeNAS image. Otherwise people would be doing it already. :(

It's sounds like FC is being "kept back" from people that want it, in maybe more an open-core approach.
I have tried to do this a couple times and have always had to resort to switching back to Google. As a software engineer I use Google heavily and do dozens of searches a day. In my personal qualitative experience Google seems to return better results for technical queries.

For day to day use I think DDG is more than sufficient however. I think DDG is certainly usable even for my work related searches but it simply takes longer to arrive to the answer in my experience.
I exclusively used DDG for the past couple of years but gave up on it recently. I never kept track of how often I used the "!g" google fallback but in the past year or so it started to be the overwhelming majority of searches, even for simple things like the name of an organization.
Thinking a tad more about it, part of the problem is they can't look up our account by historic email address. This should be something support at any organization should probably have access to for dealing with such issues.

Not only that, but sometimes as happened to me recently with my own song, you completely forget how to play it until you hear it and start playing it, then suddenly you remember every little note and nuance you do did, but only while you're playing it and good luck explaining to someone what you're doing even as you're doing it.
I asked my ISP, and got a template reply telling me they were shooting for late 2017. I asked again in 2018, and received a template reply telling me they were shooting for late 2017. I asked in 2019, and got the same reply ...

They've since changed ownership, so I'm curious if the 2020 reply will still be late 2017.
Ask HN: What are some best practices when you're working from home?
I'm working from home for the rest of March because of COVID-19, what are some best practices, tips, and behaviors I should put into effect to maintain quality of work?
That's the reason I much prefer DDG over Google. When I want the news about politics in my country or restaurants in my town, I switch to local results in my language and region with the simple click of a button.

Sometimes I want results from StackOverflow, in English. On Google getting this right was a PITA.
You can't realistically track "actual cases" accurately anyways. For example, people might not go to the hospital. This is a well known challenge with population estimation e.g. domestic violence numbers)

What you seem to be getting at is that a) this chart doesn't display the total number of tested cases and b) external reports of number of tested cases point to very low number of tests in the US

But that's not a reporting problem, it's a risk/cost analysis problem by the part of the responders. Yes, you could in theory test everyone in the country every two weeks, but it would arguably be very wasteful and impractical to do so, so CDC/hospitals/etc need to figure out what is the right balance as the epidemic unfolds. Whether they are doing a good job is indeed debatable, I agree.

> They also block light.

The lack of old trees that block like is why all those new developments you see are so miserable. You'll be blasting your A/C to keep the house comfortable if you live in a warm climate precisely because there's no big enough trees blocking the light.

Being outside around your house without shade is also miserable in the summer.

Those developments will be livable in 15-20 years when the trees mature. That's why I bought a house in a 25 year old neighborhood with mature trees. Any added maintenance of the trees is worth the shade they provide.

Self-dealing is a huge red flag.

The Bank of England used to let employees have mortgages with the bank. Random people couldn't get a mortgage from the Old Lady but their employees could. It's a huge National Bank, giving some middle manager a $0.5M mortgage on a nice house for his family at a slightly nicer rate than commercially available is a cheap perk and no real threat to stability of a trillion dollar GDP economy.

But while it's different in quantity and character it sends the wrong message. The newly created First Bank of Elbonia sees this and figures it's fine to lend $500M (a tenth of tiny Elbonia's GDP) to their chairman who is coincidentally also the brother-in-law of their newly elected Grand President. The money is never paid back, Elbonia sinks into a swamp of corruption. Oops.

So the Bank of England stopped offering such perks. It's a shame, but it's like when you're looking after young kids. Maybe you'd just run across this road, but with kids watching we should walk to the proper crossing and do it by the book. No self-dealing.
Do you consider Microsoft's monopoly in the 90s to be maintained by the power of the government?

I don’t fully buy the whole “need to move away from google” part. Yes privacy, yes ads, yes SEO gaming, yes monotechopocolpyse. But the reality is they don’t sell my data, they’ve been a good steward of my search queries over the years (and have tools to clear my history or log me out and not save them), and their product is still the best over two-ish decades.

If you’re going to convince me to move away from them, you gotta 10x it, not give me a poor clone with ! tools to force me to compensate for a not great search engine. Give me a fundamentally different experience that actually innovates in this space. I’d love to see the competition, but somehow it hasn’t materialized in all these years.

>I think it's pretty clear from the scientific data that the covid-19 virus is a recent zoonotic infection that jumped from bats to humans (with possibly another animal in between).

I know that's what most think. But, what is the evidence?
If one were to test samples from 'flu' patients from the 1980s, how do we know one wouldn't find SARS-Cov-2 in some samples?
Has anyone done this?

Merely finding similarities between the bat version and human version doesn't tell us anything about how long it's been in the human population. (For that matter, it doesn't tell us if the virus went from bat to human or human to bat... there are for more bats exposed to sources of human viruses than the other way around, you know...)
It is true that ketosis is more than low carb, but Gluconeogensis has absolutely nothing to do with it. There is a lot of wrong information out there about GNG.

GNG is an on-demand production of glucose, and absolutely does NOT kick the body out of ketosis, or cause the brain to run on glucose. GNG provides enough glucose for the tissues that cannot run on ketones (such as the kidneys). Without GNG, ketosis would not be possible. In fact, ketones regulate GNG, and prevent it from exceeding the needed maintenance levels.

Furthermore, GNG runs at mostly a constant level, does not increase with protein intake, and is at that constant level even when the body is not in ketosis.

What prevent ketosis in stubborn cases? Insulin resistance. To overcome insulin resistance it takes a strict low-carb regime paired with moderate fat intake, and lowering of stress. The process can be dramatically sped up with intermittent fasting.

> I really think all the advice about managing people is about competencies and strategies that a good engineer should also be developing.

I agree with this. At the same time, I think it's important to tease apart skills from rewards. I take all of the skills that are important for managers really seriously and care a lot about them. I work hard on my communication skills, empathy, task and time management, ability to create structure, etc. Those are basically the suite of management skills.

At the same time, I don't get much reward from a management role. When I have been in a lead role, it's been gratifying to see my team do well, but often not as gratifying as the feeling of making a thing myself. I just love building stuff more than I love coaching and creating structure for other people.

So it is important even in an IC role to work on the skills managers also need, but that doesn't necessarily imply that everyone should aim to do management work.

Ideal solution would be to make the control system a separate user serviceable module. For example, a smallish cartridge with perhaps a board-edge connector that can be swapped out from underneath/rear with all "digital" connectors.

Then build the high-end audio gear into the chassis, such as a solid quality amp and speaker pair.

That way only the the electronics needs to be swapped should the audio quality still be sufficient.

I'm not an audiophile by any stretch, but I appreciate a decent speaker. That being said, solid audio equipment can last much longer than digital tech can.

A system like above could even bring about a new sub-market around swappable chassis. Allow a customer to purchase a chassis in multiple styles and colors for less than a full module. That might mean people would be more willing to buy a "fashion swap" should they redecorate.
Change of color was one thing but the change of shape was very surprising. tl;dr: changes in color and shape may have been due to hormones being the first(?) male-to-female hand transplant, hand shape became more female.
Absolutely true. In my experience, some people use "bashing pair programming" to hide their insecurity and incompetence.
Revenue sharing is not my point. Some platforms do and makes no difference.

What I am describing is a destructive change to revenue streams for ad companies. That is as nonsense as reversing direction of couple major rivers and I know obvious open question will be how in the world.
> This is empirically false, there are many ways a large business can lock down a market/resource, or very nearly so, and prevent competition from smaller upstarts. Look no further than two-billion-dollar-a-day-revenue Walmart, whose signature practice is running competitors out of town by undercutting them and sustaining the losses until they close.

The Rise of Amazon as a serious threat to Wal-mart is a great example of the aforementioned principle in action.
Well here I am again. Here are things I think people should know:

Gluconeogenisis does not kick you out of ketosis nor is it’s existence a counter-point to the keto diet.

I have first hand experience with keto and psychosis. I experienced something traumatic a while ago and began to have psychotic symptoms similar to schizophrenia. I had read an article beforehand written by a doctor claiming that keto benefited his psych patients, so I tried it. It cured me. Most symptoms gone in a couple days, total remission within a couple weeks. So PSA: if you or someone you know is having problems with psychotic mental health problems, keto may help you.

And I should add I was formally diagnosed with psychosis and prescribed antipsychotics. And the symptoms correlated perfectly with going on and off keto. Very little ambiguity. They are doing a study on this in Finland but results won’t be out till December.
The only one of these that has anything directly to do with capitalism is tool manufacturers. Fortunately, that's a great example! Let's dig in a little.

Go to Home Depot. Lots of tool brands to choose from, right? Ridgid, Milwaukee, Ryobi, Makita, maybe a couple of Hiltis over in the contractor section. Amazing variety thanks to capitalism, right?

Wrong. The first three brands I listed all belong to the same company, TTI. The only significant difference among them is in build quality, and it's minor; other than that, all that changes is the injection molds for the shell, and the price - which varies out of all proportion to the quality of the product.

That's not a true choice. That's an illusion of choice, deliberately promulgated by a near monopoly in order to gain access to as many market segments as possible, and exploit each to the maximal possible extent - by pretending to compete with itself, TTI makes a lot more money than if it didn't, because that means it can sell three kinds of differently shaped boxes of 18650 cells, and in the modern consumer/prosumer power tool business, that's where all the margin is.

That's great for TTI! For everyone else, not so much, because only the Milwaukee line doesn't actively suck, and even then you're better off spending more for Makita, precisely because that's not a zombie brand, and is still competing.

So, TTI's a great example of capitalism, sure. Is it a good thing? One of the major complaints about Soviet communism, after all, was precisely the lack of consumer choice that it imposed. If that's really the crux of the problem, then why isn't it a problem when capitalism produces the same outcome? Is it only a failure when the Reds do it, but an example of freedom and apple pie when the same exact thing happens under capitalism? Why?
Svat's reply is of course excellent and highly commendable, but they did not post it until after I posted my cri de cœur above. The thread consisted of [svat's reasonable comment], [my reasonable reply], [svat's reasonable reply], [troll post with reckless disregard for the truth], [flagged], [flagged], where the [flagged] posts were the ones where I was correcting the misinformation.

Also, note that the person who posted the misinformation never bothered to thank svat for their careful and courteous correction and their meticulous attempt to try to DWIM the troll comment into something that made some amount of sense. This makes more sense on the assumption that they were trolling than on the assumption that they were merely misinformed — someone who was interested in the truth would surely have offered thanks for such a helpful and polite correction. Instead, it seems clear that they were only posting here to make trouble and waste the time of reasonable, knowledgeable people like svat — particularly in light of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22424205.

I had already come to that conclusion because the comment was clearly based on a set of misconceptions about what TeX and LaTeX are, and how they relate to each other, which could have been corrected by reading the introductory paragraphs of the Wikipedia article for either TeX or LaTeX. If someone isn't investing even that level of care in their comments, they don't care whether they're talking nonsense or not.

We can see that the same account continues to post aggressive comments rudely attacking other users, although since I'm not familiar with the areas they're talking about, I can't tell if they're employing the same reckless disregard for the truth in these cases: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22501626 "I don't see the point of your post, and frankly sounds like nitpicking."

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22499637 "Don't you understand where and why are there abstractions? ... having people [referring to the person he's replying to] naively complain"

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22458752 "You may quote simplistic cliches"

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22459638 "Your comment is unrealistic and even absurd"

Maybe you think this is the kind of dialogue we should be encouraging on here, but I don't. I think that in addition to setting an example of better behavior, as svat did, we should explicitly call out such misbehavior and explain why it isn't desirable, as I did.

It's less common than a straightforwardly legitimate complaint, but it happens often enough to care about if you care about harm from punishment of innocents.

If you're willing to treat injustice as a numbers game where, say, only 10% of accused are innocent and punished anyway, I would really want to know what is the severity of the punishment.

But it's a bit worse than that: There's a dynamic response if it becomes known that you systematically act on the words of the first accuser. There are people who will start using that knowledge to cause misery for others.

In fact, socially I believe it is extremely common for people to cause misery for others in this way, except rather than using an explicit complaint and punishment process, it is done by insinuation and social influence.
Ask HN: Do you also feel less confident over time?
It seems that each year I get less confident about my work. Coworkers tell me everything is fine and the quality of my work is okay but I don't feel like I'm doing my best anymore.

I know exactly what you mean. My theory is that getting amped up on caffeine keeps you from getting decent sleep, which means your cortisol/whatever hormones are still kinda high when you wake up, so when you take even more caffeine upon awakening, your body seems to move forwards from a different baseline than when you drink coffee after completely resting. This along with the fact that for me personally, being tired makes me more focused in a very one dimensional way, i can be very immersed in what im doing without ever really questioning if what im doing is even worth doing in the first place.

The problem is that it costs money to develop iOS apps. Even just the $100/year or whatever it is, is enough to severely discourage open sourcing your apps.

On Android, you can create apps for free in your spare time and distribute them however you want. The lower barrier to entry means a lot more open source hobby projects.

Distribution is another big issue. Even if you found an open source iOS app, how are you going to run it on your own device? You can only run apps blessed by apple or pay the developer fees to compile it yourself.

Apple severely restricts the hobby/ open source market from both ends.

The homeless in SF are for the most part mentally ill and/or addicts. In the past these people would've been in a mental institution (a.k.a madhouse). I think it's unfair to blame capitalism for that.
Government only got in late in the game, and if you take a look, a lot of the policies that look good on the surface actually hurt the same people they claim to help.

For example, the minimum wage is clearly helping out skilled workers. Imagine an experienced railroad worked earning $5 an hour laying tracks. To match his productivity, you'd need at least 3 unskilled workers, which are worth it at $1 each. The railroad union, to guarantee long-term work for its members, lobbies for a minimum wage, and now when it's, say, $2 an hour, those 3 unskilled workers are too expensive and no one hires them.
Everyone should test their SAML deployments for XML signature wrapping vulnerabilities. XML-DSig is ridiculously complex.
