Lower expenses for the employer as well by not having to maintain a physical office, which I have to imagine is a greater per-employee saving for the company than commuting is for the individual.
Intel is sponsoring lots of pro gamers and streamers, I think many will keep going Intel as they believe AMD don't make good gaming chips.
Of course, but that's been a fact of life forever.

DESCRIPTION:

With 18 years of experience I have worked with many technologies and I have a few favourites as of today which I will insist on for full-time employment (Elixir and Rust). Generalist and a problem solver by soul. I am not shy of crossing boundaries and going deep into data analysis or system administration when they are getting in the way of getting my task done.

I am okay with consulting and contract work for a time I am not picky on technologies for those work venues. Recently worked on accelerating a WordPress site is one example. Also helped a friend who is bootstrapping a business to optimise a few slow Ruby on Rails SQL queries.

I love to take ownership of business problems. I work much better when I know what actual problem out there does my work solve.

Hit me up even if it is just for a chat. I'd love to hear what you are doing and are trying to solve!
IQVIA | Senior DevOps Engineer | Full Time | REMOTE (U.S. only)

Prometheus Research, an IQVIA business (https://www.prometheusresearch.com/), is looking for a senior development operations engineer to accelerate the transition of our co-located environment to the cloud. We are looking for someone with a holistic view of development -- from project inception through operations as being parts of a cohesive and iterative process. Tight work with our system administration team and our development teams is necessary, helping us create integrated, cross-disciplinary workflows and collaboration.

It’s important to be practiced with cloud computing and system administration. We use Ansible, Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes (GKE), as well as Google-managed services such as Cloud SQL and Cloud Run. While experience with Google Cloud Platform is preferred, those with prior experience with Amazon or Microsoft are encouraged to apply. Concrete experience with authentication, monitoring and logging is needed. Performance evaluation, cost estimation, and tuning are important to us. We use Python/React/PostgreSQL for our core application platform. Finally, since our work is in a heavily regulated environment, excellent documentation skills are essential.

If this sounds interesting to you, please drop an email and resume to devops-20200401-group@prometheusresearch.com. If you are able, please include example development artifacts that you’ve authored.

Cloth doesn’t provide any protection for the wearer but “could” hold on to the wearer’s virus thus slowing the spread. Id say it’s embarassinng that we came to this but it can’t hurt though and may have some effect after all. I think the fashion industry will go into a weird direction, hijabs are the new thing
I've had a $30/mo 5GB prepaid plan from Tmobile for about 10 years now (the "walmart plan"). To this date I've not seen anything cheaper. $15/2G is getting close though.
Picked up a copy to support dev and fellow HN user - nice side effect is that I can use it, too. :)
>But KDE, GNOME, Enlightenment, etc. don't use it, so each of those have to implement things separately.

I am not sure how this is relevant if you're trying to write your own compositor. If those projects want to create extra work for themselves, that's on them.

>the screenshot API just has a way to request a screenshot, it doesn't have a way to specify that you would like to select a window, region, or display/screen/monitor.

Yes, that's on purpose. What's supposed to happen is that the portal daemon (NOT the application) pops up a dialog asking the user to choose which one they want. Unfortunately the wlr portal is still not done yet and doesn't implement this.
The B in OBS hints at streaming, but it's also fantastic for purely recording. It's honestly surprising how lacking that space was before OBS. I remember using FRAPS/Taksi a bit, and stuff like Camtasia, but there were all pretty awful to be honesty and definitely not free or open source.

Ask HN: How to get hired for a remote job as a new graduate?
I am trying to find a remote job that is suitable for new graduates but, I am having a hard time finding a remote junior developer listing, let alone a reasonable one. The ones that I find require too many things that I feel like no junior developer like that can ever exist. I just feel like remote jobs seem to require much more than on-site ones. Any suggestions or advice are appreciated. Stay safe!

I think that people are taking discount shorts of the stock (which are unlikely to pay out right now) and then trying to cause price dips to profit from disclosing their information. If someone just released a zero day about Zoom without prior disclosure to Zoom, it would be a useful thing for the SEC to look into more closely.
Can you provide references with regard to your unemployment claims. Here in minnesota you receive about 50 percent of your weekly wages up to a max of $740 a week. That hardly seems like an incentive to get laid off (note that you don’t collect unemployment if you voluntarily leave a job, i.e. quit).
If they do collect actual numbers but report much lower numbers it should not be too difficult to give realistic ones. Right now the Chinese state media is making a huge effort to paint the virus as a 'foreign' issue, claiming that there are now no new local infections but rather just infections brought in from abroad. This is rather obviously absurd, but it's also obviously an effort to shift blame while claiming a high ground. The Chinese leadership can pretend competence and blame others for any fault - pretending that it wasn't them that started the whole mess to begin with.

India (of all countries) had a severe virus outbreak a few years back - immediately local doctors reported it, containment measures were in place and the case numbers stayed somewhere around two hundred. China had the same, but arrested whistleblowers, officially denied everything and only admitted things when the scale and spread was so bad that it couldn't anymore be denied. Still we don't know the true scale and numbers and never will.

> Is there anyone out there with a good argument for why remote workers should be paid less?

There is more demand for remote jobs, therefore they pay less.
If you look at these images: https://www.google.com/search?q=piecework%20from%20home&tbm=...

You will see there is a lot more than can be done from home than people realize. Obviously it doesn't all translate over, there's a lot more machinery now.

But if people had to work from home, people would get creative and there's more that could be done.
> false impression that something is up for negotiation when it is not.

It is up for negotiating, though. If you don't treat them as a rational being _always_ then you never treat them as rational. You don't get to choose when their rationality applies. If you do choose then you're the one who gives "them a false impression that something is up for negotiation when it is not".
The way the social dynamics would work is that everyone would have to get "immortality" and the total number of children at any time would have to be much smaller than today. Real immortality would literally require having zero fertility (or else a galaxy colonization program) for obvious reasons.
Sprint still requires CDMA for voice service in some areas. They've been by far the slowest to adopt VoLTE of the big 4 carriers in the US, the others all fully support VoLTE in all areas.
Others have answered part of this well so I won't repeat, but there are some other factors that aren't obvious so I'll mention them.

The idea that radiation == bad, magnetism == good is overly simplistic. It's not true that an MRI can't damage you, so much as that the design is careful to avoid the damage. Principal mechanisms here are SAR (specific absorbtion) and PNS (peripheral nerve stimulation). Basically you are dumping a bunch of energy into the body; if it gets to high you start to heat tissue too much, and/or induced currents can cause nerves to fire off aggressively.

As a patient you don't need to worry much about this - when you design an MRI you have safety systems in place to limit things like this to safe levels. But your point about high field MRI being "the future" also runs into trouble with the pulse sequences having tighter tolerances, for lack of a better term, than at lower fields, before things like SAR become an issue. So you gain some resolution but some things are harder to do. Also, from a clinical view, higher cost higher resolution scans aren't always what you want. High speed, low cost, lower resolution would be great for a lot of situations.

Another issue that is sometimes a problem is that MRI images are not stereotactically accurate (cf CT).

Also the somewhat confusingly used "contrast" in this context. It is used both to refer to the natural differentiation of tissues by a modality (e.g. bone is bright white and easy to discern in x-ray, but some soft tissues just "look the same") but also for the introduction of a "contrast agents". The latter case is when you introduce a chemical that will highlight certain anatomical structures. There are different ways to do this but for the most part a) the contrast agents are not particularly safe and b) there are different ones for both imaging modality and for type of contrast. So there are tradeoffs there also. See for a common example, angiography.

Finally, siting high field magnets is no joke, which keeps the costs high for capex, and the operational costs are high too.
I work with colleagues in Hawaii all the time, and my office is on the east coast. There are days when it really clicks and Hawaii folks can pickup right where I left off when I go home and the company gets like a 14 hour work day. But for sure there are other days when I need something from someone that hasn't waken up yet, let alone gotten into the office. Every situation can work with patience and communication.
I wouldn't hold my breath, no pun intended. Hospitals are in such shortage when you're dying you're not going to say "oh no I won't go to Hospital X because of their practices" during these sort of situations, it may literally be a proxy to a choice between life/death.

Hospitals are... businesses. They will prioritize their financial success over all else which is to be expected. This sort of press is bad for business, especially long term. They are not concerned with public health, they just happen to house a few people who care about public health.

Fortunately for medicial doctors, they're in such high demand that I don't think any sort of job security is an issue. Iff hospitals and state/federal governments are doing everything they can to obtain PPE (which I believe they are) then I can understand from a public health perspective why you dont want undue stress/panic across the masses (which may result in massive hoarding of PPE for themselves amongst other things), I think it's in the public's interest to know the situation so they may act even more carefully to try to prevent needing to go to hospitals to begin with.

Sometimes knowing about a problem doesn't help much about solving a problem and only causes mental stress--or leads to more problems (mass panic and injuries/fatalities due to this).

I somewhat suspect a lot of this slow rollout of self-isolation process also modeled out public reactions, increased 'escape' travel, hoarding, panicking, etc. and a lot of the rollout dates and gradual release of information of how bad the situation really would be was more planned out than is often suggested. Combined injuries/fatalities due to panic behaviors combined with infection vs slow rollout of isolation. The federal government has access to sophisticated modeling and they typically look at scenarios from a more holistic perspective not just epidemiological related deaths.

When you looked at all the initial data coming from China, we knew this was going to be bad but somehow pretended it wouldn't be and are slowly warming up to accepting the situation. Some of it may just be pure denial, "this cant happen to me" mentalities.
thank you! I'll give it a read.

I've been involved in projects that take it a step further. They realise that two products or code bases are similar enough that they can be duplicated, like the example you've given above. But instead of splitting the code bases, they decide to have one code base, that codegens the code for both projects.

At first code gen this way seems ideal, but the trouble is you'll start to realise one project needs a feature that the other doesn't and or it needs something implemented in a different way. The code gen in question doesn't support feature flags in a straight forward way, and adding extra features comes at a cost greater than just writing code to do it properly. Then you'll have to start maintaining not only the two projects, but a proprietary codegen framework.
The idea is to pin the economic damage on something (governors' stay at home orders) that make it Not the President's Fault, even though it really wasn't the President's "fault" in the first place (as seen by systemic failure to weather this crisis mostly worldwide). But this overreaction is necessary to protect the President's strongman image.
If I was doing Logic Pro X tutorials, or XCode tutorials, this would be a non-option - which are the only kinds of tutorials I personally have enough knowledge and drive to create.

PC is a non-option for a chunk of people in dev and media - I, for instance, do iOS dev for a living, and live by Logic Pro X for professional audio work. (I've been using Logic for about 15 years...)

The amount of time it would take for me to transition, to, say Ardour - or the amount of my career that would be lost if I swapped from, say, iOS to...I'm not sure what the FOSS equivalent is...(Android doesn't count, obviously, because Google) I'd lose years and years of training, experience, and wisdom.
That aside, I think it specializes OBS in a way that is too specific for OBS, which tries to be more generic. I think they both have their place, but personally I use OBS for recording videos and SLOBS adds no value for me.
> How do we put a swift end to this nonsense?

I support emergency whistleblower legislation prohibiting any health care employer (perhaps any employer) from engaging and discrimination or adverse job actions on the basis of an employee's good-faith effort to make a non-negligent report in the public interest of a matter that has previously been reported through internal channels that the employee was aware of and were not overly burdensome.
> Surely the public will be on the side of ...

What would lead you to believe that "will of the public" commands any agency at all? In a functioning democracy this would be a powerful force but we've had our democracy subverted by decades of corporate interests controlling more of our government at all levels.

The United States is a democracy in name only, it's a useful myth that keeps the public feeling safe but that illusion increasingly seems less useful.
This is awesome! I'm working on a very similar mission. When do you plan on monetizing the product?

It affects people with particular underlying medical conditions more than those who are older. It's just that those who are older tend to have more underlying medical conditions, but any young person with particular underlying medical conditions is at greater risk than a 99 year old with no underlying medical conditions. I saw yesterday a healthy 99 year old survived it.

Zero exposure is probably unrealistic for everyone, but it's not unrealistic to give farm workers disposable masks, gloves, hand sanitizers, and washing stations, put effort into keeping them six feet apart as they work, and provide sufficient paid leave so they don't feel pressure to keep working even if they believe they're sick. I think that's really what we're talking about here.
