> If you're good, you don't have to worry.

You don't have to worry about keeping your current job, but getting a different one becomes a lot harder. Your 27 year-old interviewer might be thinking "You're my dads age, and my dad is crusty. No way you can wrap your head around lib-of-the-week.js"

> Try suggesting that you can run a software business without using GitHub as your single point of failure^W^W^W^Wsource control system, and a lot of young developers will just laugh and wonder what you've been smoking.

To be fair, this example isn't quite as bad. It's simple enough to add a new remote to your working copies and host your repo elsewhere. It doesn't help with GitHub-specific features like comments or integrations though
The problem with 'low risk / high upside' is that it can apply to anything. We can try lemonade since it has low risk and high upside. But at some point we have to start wondering if we should all be obsessed with lemonade right?

Even when doctors were using HCQ before the politicians and random outsiders picked up on it, there were other drugs in the mix that they were also considering (Lopinavir, Remdesivir, etc). Incidentally Remdesivir trials have also come out lately seeming pretty weak. But there is still nowhere near the level of frenzy around Remdesivir as there has been around HCQ to the extent of advocacy at White House press briefings, international diplomatic incidents... it's beginning to seem like a very strange mass hallucination.
> Can keycloak let me integrate different k8s clusters running in Azure/Google/AWS with i.e.: Azure AD ? All our users have accounts in Azure AD but we would like to let them use k8s clusters running in different cloud providers without maintaining user accounts there. Is it possible with keycloak ?

No real need for Keycloak here, AKS uses Azure AD natively, GCP and AWS can be configured to use SAML straight from Azure AD to handle authentication.

You could use Keycloak though.
There is a lot of things that could be said here:

1) I switched from being a software engineer to a data scientist in 2010, in part because of the culture. I totally get not enjoying the culture, though I do recognize how much it varies from person to person and company to company, so I try not to stereotype. But on some level, I get it.

2) We're opposites in some way. I've been writing code since I was 8 years old, and enjoy it. I'm the type of person who loves to find a fun and challenging problem and dive in so much I don't turn off. However, people like me are rare. In the last 15 years in the Bay Area, I've only worked with one other person who fit that criteria. Everyone else treated it like a 9 to 5 job. Me, I've never been one to judge or think negatively of that. That's how people are. It's normal. I get there are problems with SE culture, but some people being super passionate about what they do, to me isn't one of them. I don't believe I've ever annoyed anyone, bothered anyone after hours, or done anything unreasonable, and if I did I would appreciate people letting me know in a 1-on-1 fashion. The last thing I want to do is bother my coworkers.

3) You're on ycombinator, the center of Bay Area tech culture. Frankly, I'm baffled you like hacker news, for the people who like this kind of stuff after work hours, yet at the same time are anti that. YC is the heart of tech passion, and if you don't like it, why are you here? Not judging. Your comments and views are valuable. I'm asking out of genuine curiosity.
thanks for the heads up, noted!
Wouldn’t ecg changes be plausibly the result of the virus itself? I haven’t read the paper so maybe they go into greater detail but it would be important to know whether such changes were seen in the control group as attrition/discontinuance is critically important to any study.

You do realize that what you are describing is an edge and most users don't have a use case for 5 connections including a "test kit" right?

If a phone would have to cater to all these edge cases we'd still have serial ports on them.
Based in Paris, France - even prior to the lockdown, bakeries sold baking-related supplies if you knew how to ask (flour, yeast, pre-made dough at various stages, etc.).

But now they sell it like a main product; even today when I went to buy some bread at one of my local shops, they had sacks of flour set up in the storefront and showcases.
Background anxiety is a perfect way to describe it, in fact that's what I'm going to say from now on, thanks.
This is why they will gladly sell you a cellular Apple watch. I actually laughed at the comparison of strapping the phone to your arm because it was so obvious.

I'm just saying that the SE would have sold better or people would have been more upset about the discontinuation, or the Xperia compact line would have sold well...but people want a big screen. It's proven by the market. I'm not saying there isn't a market for a small phone, I'm just saying that there is a much bigger market for a larger phone. (and the original comment claimed the design wasn't popular because it wasnt 4/5 sized) The companies are not idiots out there, all of them went to larger phones because the majority of people prefer them. (Notably the older crowd with worse vision that came onboard to smartphones in the early 2010s and the crowd that got addicted to apps.) I loved my 5S back in the day but the larger screen is much better when you actually use it in depth.

AI for Earth
I seriously doubt anyone on the planet right now (short of being deranged) wants a treatment not to work.

I understand wanting to chastise Trump for being exaggerated and reckless about an unproven treatment, but wanting it not to work? That can't be true.
Can you, please, describe, why do you think that Genera was superior to Smalltalk? I never had the opportunity to test it for real; however, I checked a lot of materials about Genera, and my impressions were the opposite. So I would really appreciate some arguments.
And given the estimated R0 being >5 we need over 80% infection/vaccination rate (256 million in the US) to reach herd immunity.
Maybe take a look at https://www.spacex.com/careers/list?field_job_category_tid%5.... (We don't screw our users, because the users are us. And all that counts is solving real problems.)

But if your criterion is zero pay cut to make the move, then you're placing zero actual value on all those things you complain about.
I'm not at all sure I would like millions of doses of Joe Biden to be placed in the federal stockpile of emergency medical supplies, even if those doses were for the sole use of the federal government. It sounds kind of expensive and I don't think anyone knows what the effect of Joe on the coronavirus actually is.
And then what happens next time? Why spend all the time and effort, only to have what you did nationalized?

Incentivizing people to not do productive things like develop drugs seems like a really bad idea.
Trumps history of exaggeration goes before and anyone sane accounts for it.

> I used to think hard work leads to promotion. This is because I didn't understand why different positions exist outside of a title change. Now I see things a bit differently. If an individual on my team is working hard, I'm going to keep them where they are because they're getting the job done. Rather, I'm looking to elevate my 10x engineer - not the one that's the doing their job well but the one thats mentoring those around them to do their job well too.

An excellent point. This misconception that hard work leads to promotion is widespread, and management doesn't often do enough to dispel it (if they are even aware of it themselves). I think an important step here is to identify the concrete behaviors and competencies needed to advance. In the words of Randall Koutnik: "What does it take to succeed at [your] company beyond 'hard work'?"[0].

Fast tracking a medication can have terrible results, cost billions of dollars, and cripple hundreds of people.

All of this is true, and yet in our current situation, not fast tracking can have even worse results, cost trillions of dollars and kill millions of people.

I knew someone who was a vegan and a staunch anti-vaxxer. I wonder if vaccines made from plant antibodies would assuage the concerns of that tiny demographic? :)
They do not use RAID. They use userspace erasure coding of data stored in files on plain ext4 IIRC.

Maybe they use RAID for the OS.
I think you actually mean log-structured filesystems.

They help with poor random write performance only at the cost of poor sequential read performance.

Both SMR drives and SSDs benefit greatly from sequential reads. A file that was randomly written will be read back in random order regardless of the reader's interest.
devastating to read. any decline into dementia is a tragedy but in your 30's? taupathies suck.
This is why open source software at least is good -- it tends to have much longer lifetimes, so chances are decent that your code will still be running decades down the line (so long as you picked the right project).

For example, one of the open source projects that I contributed to most heavily, PyWikiBot, has been around for almost two decades now, and most of my contributions were made ~13-15 years ago, plus some minor maintenance since then, and most of those features I wrote are still in continuous use to this very day by me and many others. And that's just some random tooling library for Wikipedia stuff; imagine how much long-term impact your work would have if you were editing MediaWiki itself, or the Linux kernel, or gcc, or any number of other incredibly widely-used things.
This person finds the DAC to be extremely high quality: https://www.kenrockwell.com/apple/lightning-adapter-audio-qu... . Perhaps it’s a placebo. Perhaps the performance has degraded. Or perhaps his measurements are wrong.
The whole multiple-users-on-one-ipv4 thing always feels like it distracts from what a tracker's goal really is. It is definitely beyond sufficient identification and more than needed for a tracker to start targeting you with ads and what not.

In some ways the fact that IP only tracking is lossy but still good enough is something to be afraid of. It is easy to 'taint' an IP and your households behind-the-scenes profile over a google search by your guest using your wifi.
I strive to treat all frameworks skeptically (aside from the meta-framework of logical consistency). I see two notions of 'rights' in common usage, one (which you call a natural right) is predicated on personal liberty and the other predicated on 'ought to have'. Both are invented concepts. In practice, the first results in people taking increased responsibility for their own lives, increased empowerment, increased freedom. The other concept of rights, in practice, generally has opposite effects.

Edit: In some cases 'ought to have' is nothing more than 'want to have'.
From what I understand, in the late stages of the disease, it's not necessarily the virus that's killing the patient. Often, the virus has been cleared and it's the patient's own immune response that's doing the damage.
There has been, for several years now, concern that general anesthesia may have a negative impact on the brain and, in particular, Alzheimer's Disease but also general cognitive damage.

Here's a 2018 piece discussing research from the Mayo Clinic focused on apparent anesthetic damage in patients older than 70.

Look up what happened in India with the polio vaccine..
That's what the article says, human trials in fall this year and then a regulatory filing a year later. There is basically no chance of a vaccine for this being widely available before 2022. That assumes that one of these vaccines works, despite no vaccine for a coronavirus ever passing regulatory approval (hence this is a hard problem, and plenty of incentive to vaccinate against things like common cold which would be a nice money earner for a someone).
Personally not too important to me, but I fully agree that it is time to change the port to USB-C. I am not sure why Apple is lagging behind on this, as I don't think it would have any negative effect.
If this story moves you, and you have the means, consider donating to CSF Leak research at Stanford.

Cerebrospinal Fluid Leaks are something that can completely mimic a large amount of FTD symptoms, and even in the care of utmost professionals, can be near undetectable - and somehow, treatment can be as beautifully simple as a one and done injection... to a hellish guessing game and years of attempts. As Dr. Ian Carrol of Stanford's research has indicated, they seem to be highly misdiagnosed/undiagnosed as well.

I know HN has had posts about CSF Leaks before. I truly believe they're one of the worst things we face in this age that can actually be treated with 100% recovery in some cases. However, for far too many, that really means nothing as they'll be sent to a psych facility, nursing home, or become homeless, and die as a whithered husk of what was once a human before they have the slightest indication of what is actually wrong with them, let alone make their way to one of the few places that truly treat the condition.
Question: are the induced arrhythmias permanent or do they discontinue when HCQ therapy discontinues?

I'm curious as to the permanency of the damage.
I had a coworker at BigCo who would disappear for a month every summer. I wasn't paying attention to other PTO days through the year so I assumed that extra PTO for work anniversaries added up faster than I thought.

Turns out they were just taking a leave of absence, every year, to travel, and just eating the pay cut.
The study that made me think there might be something to it was looking at people taking it for unrelated illnesses and finding that they weren't tending to show up hospitalized with Covid-19.

I'd agree that we really don't have any evidence that giving it to hospitalized patients helps at all. Most antivirals have to be taken at the early stages of an infection.

The best looking treatment for people seriously ill with Covid-19 right now seems to be IL-6 inhibitors. That won't stop you from getting sick but might let you avoid intubation.
How much are you willing to pay for "not a miracle cure" on the basis of "eh, it can't hurt"?
GitLab Product Leader here -

> * Both are slow. Silly slow. A 2 second target for page loads is horrific. Jumping around a file structure and exploring blame is really really painful; but 90% of the time I'm on the pipelines page and its so so so slow. Its actually faster for me to have my pipelines webhook a private server for a faster dash.

Agreed - and we're working on performance improvements for GitLab.com. Do you use GitLab.com or a self-managed instance?

> * GitLab is better for CI/CD. Easier, more sensible. I use it all the time; I set new clients up on it.

Thanks - I'll give the feedback to the teams to keep up the good work. We do focus on sensible defaults and easy setup.

> * Gitlab is better for k8's - several clients use it and love it.

Awesome to hear, I have some heritage with this part of the product so I'm glad you love it.

> * Search sucks on them both. They both give a paginated list when what I always want is a place in repo / filetype / etc. filter, post initial search (i.e, I'm looking for loadModule in webpack, I want to ignore tests (when I didn't know which was the test folder before searching), and jump between definition and usage, as well as find out if there is any documentation. Its not worth doing each individually. I want all at once)

We have a recent integration with SourceGraph, have you tried that out? https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/integration/sourcegraph.html

> * API's are really slow. GitLab is probably worse here. My default webpage (localhost home page) is a dashboard of quick links and widgets. One of those widgets shows my failing pipelines. It takes 6 seconds on a good day. I bypassed it (as above) to let me be more responsive. I didn't have to bother bypassing it w/GitHub

Uggh - I'm sorry. I don't quite understand your reference to a default webpage and widgets. Is it pulling from GitLab APIs to give you a dashboard of your development work?

> * On my NAS I maintain images of GitLab hosts and backups of all my repos. I have an image of the self-hosted gitlab we had at a previous (it closed) company. Being able to fall back to self-hosted is the oft-touted godsend, but being able to restart a retired self-hosted has literally made me and the others involved several thousand each (twice old clients have wanted a one off job. GitLab is the core of testing and deploying infrastructure).

I didn't follow this one explicitly either. I'm glad you've got backups, are you suggesting GitLab needs some improved restore capabilities from backups?
Remdesivir (and other antivirals / T-inhibitors on trial) are all extremely difficult to manufacture (and expensive) compared to hydroxychloroquine. Most hospitals and countries will be unable to acquire the amounts required for even small trials. It will be many months before we can begin to see results for these drugs.
That's not true, although I assume it may be harder to water-proof devices with each possible opening in the chassis.

There are some water-resistant phones with a headphone jack and an IP68 rating even. The LG V30 for example is a beast. Semi-regular usage on rainy days works without any issues. Even using it as a flashlight it survived 30min of pouring rain. I had to wait for the USB-C port to dry up to charge it after getting home, but it still survived without any damage whatsoever.

Other phones that are both water-resistant and have a jack [1]:

* Pixel 3a

* Galaxy S10

* Huawei P30

* and a lot more

If I remember correctly, Apple tried to justify its removal due to its size and water-resistance. I wonder when (not if) Apple will remove the power plug due to "water-resistance" and insist on using Qi charging (even though it has worse efficiency[2]) and cloud services instead of transferring data via cable.

Huawei and the espionage that brought down Nortel
I guess you must be frequently switching your headphones between the phone and some other device and so it is not sufficient to keep the $10 dongle attached to your headphone cable
I don't think the convincing fake will ever happen anytime soon (no ML will give you that pixel-perfect sharpness gradient along each strand of air on a 30MP image).

Generally speaking I also haven't seen a phone picture yet, which beats my cams at sharpness (which is simple physics...). It's pixelpeeping ofc but I can happily look at my pictures right from the raw converter w/o any sharpening or AI-magic applied and they are sharp and crisp. Do that with you phone-raw or jpeg. You'll spot a difference even on a phone screen...

Also, I don't think that these things should be put in camera software as a feature (making them subject to obsolescense as phones...) but instead they should just add a very basic scripting API (=tool) so you can store all the things you need for postprocessing and control capture (like the lua-scripts on CDHK).
You could also achieve this with LaTeX and pandoc.
That's kind of a ghoulish sentiment to attribute to someone else.
Seconded! I was utterly baffled that Apple doesn't include the RAM in the tech specs.
And it's not even about only headphones. It's about billions of audio devices that take one thing as input: line-level audio. Home stereos, car stereos, portable amps, hotel-room docks and TVs, PA systems and mixers.

Then there's the idiotic problem that Apple created but never even solved: blocking the phone's sole port with a "headphone dongle," which prevents you from CHARGING the phone. So now if you want to listen to music while navigating (which kills the battery quickly), you're screwed.

I ended up buying a few of the Lightning-to-30-pin-iPod adapters, which you can then plug a USB+audio cable into. Yes, the ancient 30-pin iPod connector has line audio out, and the cool thing is that it's a true line out; the volume control has no effect on it, so you only have one volume control to dick around with (the one on the amp).
You seem to be assuming that the court ordered something it knew was impossible. That's, to borrow a phrase from the HN code of conduct, assuming bad faith on the part of the court. It seems much more likely to me that it just made a mistake and wasn't itself trying to escalate a war. That's not what courts do.

So... assuming the court thought this was a reasonable request, why shouldn't Amazon just try to comply?
It is a difficult situation, but the cure should not be worse than the disease. I just offered my perspective. I am not an expert in medical research, and hope that qualified people can do their jobs and find a safe treatment/vaccine. However, I am scared that people that say 'No' will be silenced or removed, kind of like people in Theranos, who were experts in their fields.
No one tells police to beat up homeless people. Police will do it because they know they won't be held responsible. They're assholes because of the inherent power dynamic.

What's more interesting is how starkly negative and hypocritical HN is.

Yes, children are murdering other children with guns in school. If that mattered, we collectively would have done something to stop that. Politically, it didn't matter. Children were acceptable casualties for 'muricans' to have guns.

And politically, it's a pointless battle be it online -or- in person. HN certainly makes a point in not doing flamewars.. not much more flames can be stoked than with a gun debate with US politics (well, abortion).

So, I looked at their "statistic", in a dry scientific manner. Of course there's no gun violence at schools. They're cancelled or online.
The satire is of the shallow sensationalism and panic mongering if reapplied shows how specious the claims are. If it can be straight transferred it shows the focus for criticism is misplaced. Working a job or reading a book may also result in less time spent with friends.

As for profiting from gatherings it depends upon where they spend time together. Resturants, bars, karoke clubs, (mini)-golf, etc. may say hi. Even hiking in the woods does so indirectly shoe wear and any exercise means any food sellers have an incentive.
