At some level, sysadmins are at the boundary between hardware and software, between the real physical world and the abstract manipulation of symbols and data. With that in mind, you can ignore HVAC to the extent that "facilities" understands your needs and keeps them in mind during routine operations over a year, a day, or a month, from their project managers down to whoever is on site that day perhaps testing generators, switching away from the chilled water loop now that it is winter, and so on.

As a programmer who relies on these services, if the server room "feels hot" but I haven't gotten anything out of monitoring, I will stick my head in. Your monitoring and your A/C can fail at the same time and I have had that happen more than once.

“The first step is to find someone on the team and ask for 30 minutes with them. In that meeting you have a simple agenda:

For the first 25 minutes: ask them to tell you everything they think you should know. Take copious notes. Only stop them to ask about things you don’t understand. Always stop them to ask about things you don’t understand.
For the next 3 minutes: ask about the biggest challenges the team has right now.
In the final 2 minutes: ask who else you should talk to. Write down every name they give you.
Repeat the above process for every name you’re given. Don’t stop until there are no new names.”

'A Bargain with the Devil'–-Bill Comes Due for Overextended Airbnb Hosts
From a nurse in Wuhan who is a family friend: It seemed clear to her and her coworkers that Remdesivir was working when given early, but had little or no effect after the disease had progressed.

My take: sounds like great news for a product, since everyone would want this on hand to catch infections early. Unfortunately it is an IV treatment and very difficult to manufacture, and is therefore unlikely to be able to fill that role. I bought a few shares anyway.

I don't have an opinion one way or the other on your friend's situation. It definitely sucks, and you may well be right that it's unduly harmful to their situation. But don't underestimate this disease. Even upstate New York isn't immune, take a look at this interactive map[1]. Almost all counties in upstate New York are north of 50 confirmed cases per 100,000 people, and all of those are neighboring counties with hundreds of confirmed cases. Given our rate of testing is abysmal, it's very likely there are several times that many actual cases in each county. Drastic action is absolutely needed, even in your county.

This is an awkward and difficult situation. If we underreact, we will have hundreds of thousands or millions more deaths (not joblessness, actual dead people) than we could have if we reacted appropriately. I think that's worse than the alternative of a massive recession, but I definitely sympathize with people who are most affected, like your friend and his employees. It's tough; there's no clear right answer; mistakes will be made. We just need to do the best with the information we have, and trust the experts to do the same. I'm sorry :(

Having a cutoff of statistical significance is a side effect of wanting to divide the world into a black-and-white binary categorization.

This is a heuristic which helps things stay within our limited reasoning capacity, cuts down on the noise level from all the activity in the scientific community to focus on what's important, and helps with inherently binary organizational decisions (e.g. should this experiment be published in a journal or not? Should we give this medicine to patients or not?)

A better approximation of optimal Bayesian reasoning would be continuous updating of your prior with no cutoff. Even a study with a very weak p-value in the right direction should in theory slightly tweak your priors in favor of the hypothesis. (But you also have to tweak slightly against the hypothesis for studies with very weak p-values in the wrong direction, and compensate for selection effects, e.g. if experiments with underwhelming or wrong-direction p-values are underpublished.)

Even weak p-values below the binary decision threshold contain information. It's just that effectively denoising and acting on that information is more difficult and fraught with pitfalls than binary decisions based on strict thresholds. So science mostly standardizes on the safer approach, although there are some people who try to wring precious drops of information out of experiments that fall below the usual statistical cutoffs (often by so-called meta-analysis that combines results of multiple studies).

They can get the 737 Max recertified to fly,

That is getting more and more dubious every day. Do you have a source which says this is doable? To recap, the 737 Max was not only fitted with the MCAS to save money but because it was relying on being grandfathered in to be able to be certified at all. So if they are forced to make so much change to the MCAS to require recertification they will fail doing so.

At least in academia, people usually don't go to conferences to attend the talks - they are uploaded on youtube and you could watch them from home. People go because they are good networking events. That is something which you can't really do online.

Edit: of course, a minority of attendees are there to present their work, which can indeed be done online.
Judging by the 100% match rate with Crunchbase I'm guessing this is an analysis of CB data. It's still valuable, but I'm curious if/how they managed to secure a license to redistribute this publicly.

There are some numbers which simply don't make any sense.

Take today's data:

Delhi - 3,314 cases. (likely to go up as data is updated for tonight). Total population of Delhi is 19 Million.

Rajasthan - 2,438 cases. Total population: 68.9 Million

Haryana - 311 cases. Total population: 25.4 Million

Haryana has less than 10% of Delhi's covid case numbers while being a much larger state and while sharing a big border with both Delhi and Rajasthan where the covid cases are much higher. Also, huge numbers of people travel between Haryana and Delhi on a daily basis. Haryana's numbers make no sense.

Uttar Pradesh - 2,134 cases. Total population: 204 Million

About 30% less than Delhi while being much, much larger than Delhi and sharing a huge border with Delhi with vast numbers of people travelling to and from Delhi! Uttar Pradesh numbers too seem heavily under reported.

Bihar - 403 cases. Total population: 99 Million

Bihar has much, much lower covid cases than even Uttar Pradesh when Uttar Pradesh's numbers were themselves already suspiciously low. Bihar shares a huge border with Uttar Pradesh and there is simply no way Bihar with a much poorer healthcare infrastructure can have such low covid numbers.

Both UP and Bihar has huge numbers of migrants working in Delhi, Mumbai etc which makes these numbers even more dubious.

So on the face of it, there are big issues with these numbers being put out by some of the biggest states in India. If these numbers were more accurate, the overall figures for covid cases from India will be much higher.

India shares a massive border with China and is right next to China while having almost the same number of covid cases as Peru - which is halfway across the world from China and which is relatively shielded from the rest of the world in comparison to India - in terms of number of travellers coming in etc.

I think calling something propaganda is a great way to silence discussion.

It's arrogant to assume that the lockdowns are the only way to respond to this virus. I don't want to assume. I want to be informed by the data. That landscape is shifting, and I want our leaders to be willing to change their minds as new data comes in and we learn more.

Maybe we carry on with lockdowns, maybe they were a good idea in cities, but never for suburbs. It's really hard to tell at this point.

I was for the lockdowns, and I'm willing to stay that way, but I'm willing to hear more facts ,data, and analysis.

We all work at keyboards, and get to stay employed. The cost/benefit analysis for coders as individuals is a hell of a lot different than it is for construction workers, restaurant workers, retail, etc. We should really try to be sensitive to that, instead of acting as if economic devastation doesn't cost lives, and is just a bit of pain to endure while we save lives from the virus.

I grew up in an economically depressed area. Poverty, loss of livelihood and misery kill people too. Think about the fact that this is mainly being done to protect elderly people who have already earned the money they need for life, and is primarily costing young earners their livelihoods.

The political system in the US already favors the elderly at the expense of the young. Do you think you're ever going to see Social Security checks equivalent to what you are paying in?
> Linux kernel bugs seem to have the greatest required level of expertise to debug.

Some of it yeah. Honestly, I spent a lot of time looking at it and figured out how to fix/tweak minor crap.

Main thing I've been working on and off over the years on is CPU scheduler issues. Back when I was a high schooler my music kept skipping whenever my desktop box came under any substantial load. Turns out desktop workloads way different than what sorts of workloads most of the devs are paid to work on. The situation's improved but honestly still sucks with the stock scheduler.

>Currently, I'm facing a wifi kernel bug that keeps spitting out call traces to the system log, that I have absolutely no idea what to do with.

iwlwifi? if you're on 5.6.0 it was shipped broken. I think the fix landed in 5.6.1, so anything newer should work.

a great time for Amazon or Google to buy Lyft

...What would they do with it? The business model (also uber) as-is makes a loss.

Uber/Lyft's initial proposition was that once ride sharing incumbents were established, they'd have a software-ish monopoly and margins. This did not work out. Now the proposition is "When driverless cars get invented..."

If google had a car that can drive itself, they can figure out an app. They can get to a customer base. The driverless car is the important part.

Amazon otoh... deliveries maybe? If they could figure out a way to do deliveries in a lyft/uber model... that's valuable to amazon.

I love Insomnia and use it almost daily and in the hope the developers/owners are reading here on Hacker News: Please don't make the same mistake as Postman. I used Postman years ago until it shifted from being a simple tool to test and develop REST Apis to something now called "Cloud Collaboration Platform", got way to much bloat and tries to nudge me (or maybe even made it mandatory in the meantime?) into creating a user account etc.

Please don't take Insomnia down that path, and make all enterprise/collab/cloud feature optional while still focusing on the single-user, simple to use and setup program it has been so far.

Ask HN: What's the best way to transition JavaScript framework?
We're currently using AngularJS for our front-end, API-driven, web app. We're building a brand new section in our application and we're thinking of doing it in React, but keeping the UX consistent and running both app simultaneous. At least that's the hope.

The idea is to not continue building out new functionalities on an EOL framework, but also not rewriting the entire app in one shot since that's just not possible at this time.

It seems that this is a common pattern among many large applications because you can tell when you go from "new" facebook to "old" facebook, or paypal, etc...

If anyone has experience with maintaining two separate JS application, what is your advice? Is this a mistake?
> So is your app mostly forms or displaying content? User preference panels? Mortgage applications? Implement it with server-side rendering with a sprinkling of JS to implement widgets the web lacks. If only part of your app requires low-latency interactions, use client-side rendering only there.

While I understand it's easy to make the argument that SSR is better, lighter, etc. It's easy to quickly violate the "Single Responsibility Principle" in that you now have two systems with little knowledge of each other both in control of rendering the UI.

I lived the era of jQuery with apps just being a bunch of jQuery extensions + SSR. Eventually the app needs to make XHR (type ahead search, nested picklists, etc), and you end up in a situation where there was just one thing controlling presentation.
Social unrest?

How about some activism, social representation..? We don't really do that in the US these days.
Socializing the losses...I like that turn of phrase :-)
Not when it's 22% of the company. After about 30 minutes in EVERYONE is aware people are getting calls about losing their job and spend their day hearing a trickle of rumors on who just got the call and wondering if their phone is going to be the one to ring next. I've yet to see something like this go down better than making it clear up front (e.g. mass meeting) and come out all at once then having the managers follow up after.

I guess it depends on the company. My wife's company's standard buyout is 2 weeks per year worked (she works in travel). 1 week of severance per year worked is not great. In the current economic environment I would think people would be very hesitant to take it. Lets say I have been there 10 years, means I only get 10 weeks severance. I still need to find a new job and there are tens of thousands of other laid off engineers competing for jobs and those jobs are very limited. Odds of finding a new one before severance runs out is low.

If you don't take it you run the very real risk of getting cut with nothing.

Unfortunate situation all around.
> and my experience has been that anytime an issue arises that may not be specific to React, this person's ability to problem solve significantly diminishes.

this has been my experience too, I'm a full stack engineer playing a devops role right now on a greenfield govt project. Getting our CI/CD pipeline going within our environment constraints with react has been a pain in the ass. Every time something goes wrong the front end dev just kinda throws his hands up and basically tells me its my problem. I ended up having to go through all the issues opened on github to find solutions and implement them myself. I'm no javascript expert but to me the solutions seem to be super hacky when I've found other frameworks out there that handle these things out the box or more gracefully.

I was on a project supporting legacy code for a long time before this, and was quite looking forward to working with newer js frameworks but this left a sour taste in my mouth. And I already had a bad impression of react prior. I might look into pushing for some of the alternate frameworks out there.
I think people are going to find the opposite, that networking events are even more crucial to growth (evidenced by research), and the ones who didn't realize this before will now fight for the opportunities that come up in firms.
> "attending conferences was always fun"

Well it's also because there were always disadvantages we forget about: hours upon hours of travel, going on your own, sleeping in unfamiliar rooms, not to mention the cost of it all. Going to a remote place for a few days isn't so fun when you remember all the hours spent in an airplane seat to get there and back.
Actually a better contrast would have been

I wouldn't count on it. The mortgage market is divided between conventional and jumbo loans[1]. Any bail outs will likely focus on conventional mortgages. The current administration seems to relish in screwing over blue states, and the house of representatives has a long list of negotiating priorities. They might be able to negotiate the SALT limits, but I don't see jumbo loan bail outs making the cut.

Airplanes are notoriously slow. I would expect turnaround on a new airframe to be over a decade, and on a new design at least 5 years.

That said, I don't think a "new design" ontop of the 737 airframe exists. The whole point of the 737 Max and its failures is that the airframe was old so they tried to make a radical design change and handle the shortcomings in fly-by-wire software, but who on earth is going to trust Boeing with that now?
For the sake of argument....
