Ask HN: Is there a simple online medical diagnosis tool?
I want to just plug in a bunch of symptoms, maybe like a Todo-style checklist, one symptom per line, and then say, 'Tell me what I have, doc'.

e.g.

- persistent cough
- birth of daughter last year
- cracked rib
- cough getting worse
- hurts to breath
- excruciating to cough
- pain worse on right
- achy body
- stiff joints
- pain in ears when i wear a hat
- pain when I sleep on my side
- nose gets sore when i wear sunglasses

I suspect it does not exist or cannot be found because:

- it's illegal
- AMA sued whoever tried it
- it just can't be found, b/c of spam sites
- it exists but you need to be a professional researcher/doctor/etc. to gain access.

I will post the actual diagnosis tomorrow. This is not me, this is from the internet. A google will find it if you're curious.
I see. So I'd like to make sure I'm understanding what you're saying - do you mind if I try to repeat back what I believe you're getting at?

What I believe you are saying is that it isn't a good idea (in your opinion) to have developers that are not responsible for developing a particular piece of software to be in charge of creating automated testing for said product, as that is likely to result in the team responsible for building the software to be locked into that third party testing solution?

I've got some clarifying thoughts but wanted to ensure I understood your thought pattern.

Early in the Apple Maps days I took a road trip from Minneapolis to the west coast and back. Somewhere in southern Wyoming we were headed to the front range in Summit County (west of Denver) and maps took us on what I can only describe as a dirt road up a mountain complete with wildlife of goats or whatever terrestrial creatures stirred.

But the best part? Seeing all the other users of maps along the route! Barely enough room for two cars to pass. But we had each other. Everyone would hold up their iPhone and mouth “WTF?” with wide eyes.

Funding spies and dissidents has never been a challenge. The challenge is it's very difficult for them to spend more money than they officially earn without drawing the attention of their home government's counterintel operations. No currency can solve this because it isn't the transfer of currency that gives you away. It's the receipt of whatever you purchased.
And it's fairly easy to "snap" to the nearest available size variant. That way one can add cached variants after-the-fact.

Nothing fishy about it, its proper Quality Assurance using the initial release of Windows 11 as an MVP.

If they’d build preview versions of all tools that Windows (11) contains, then release a new Windows 11 preview build any time a tool receives updates (after community feedback) and ask for more community feedback on all of these releases (probably talking a new Windows 11 version every single day) and release Windows only when all the tools and their changes have been deemed worthy/bug-free it will be 2029.

I'm unlikely to learn a new coding pattern on YouTube.

But I have learned a ton of woodworking techniques from watching build videos. There are a ton of little techniques along the way that are innate to people who have been in the industry for years and thus wouldn't be in written instructions, but I can see them and pick them up from a video. It's really hard to describe the technique for some of the resin work out there too, like getting realistic looking waterlines.

Or when I'm stuck at a certain point in a game it's a lot easier to see a video of someone doing it than read a half-assed description.

>Seriously? You're seriously asserting that small businesses would rather be in SF than in SJ, because of minimum parking?

I'm asserting that some types of businesses cannot exist due to the low density requirements due to parking requirements + lack of traffic. Whether any arbitrary local business can exist in SJ and be more profitable is obviously something an individual business owner as to weigh.

For example, here is one effect I was talking about how parking regulations affect the types of restaurants you can open: https://twitter.com/BayBetter/status/1306681675301048320

When you look at restaurants in San Jose vs San Francisco I don't think you can argue that density didn't play a factor.

>So, just so we're clear: you're giving up on that one?

No it's not; I see now you aren't the same poster as GP; the assertion was schools in high density neighborhoods are poor. My response is that there are other, more pertinent factors at play, like funding, that affect school quality and that simply upzoning will not destroy schools. Discussing the minutiae of the return of funding on school performance isn't relevant the topic of high density development.
Well shit that’s even more horrible than I had dreamed about.
I don't believe there are any.
Every recommendation engine I've encountered appear to be based on the idea that I care about artists or genres, rather than the sound profile of individual tracks.

Spotify has the tech to do this, they've demonstrated it with a genre explorer tool, but they clearly don't use it in their radio stations and recommendations.

As several other comments have mentioned, music companies inevitably end up being redesigned to match the desires of rightsholders, and not users. The only way around this would probably be some kind of legally mandated compulsory licensing, so that any streaming service or end user can play any content if they pay the predetermined price, removing contract negotiations from the picture.
How were artists living before copyrights? We’ve had quite a few of them delivering masterpieces. So we can reward efforts the same ways as before, art will not die just be less profitable maybe. If reproduction is easy what do we as a society earn by making it harder artificially? I don’t believe any other worker is having these benefits. You do your job, paid for your effort by someone willing to do so, and then go on with your life. That includes other creative occupations and most of the employees of e.g. movie studios. Are we fairly compensating _them_ for their work?
> but you’re really really stretching here.

I certainly hope that's the case

> One of which involve paying a bunch of $$ to Life360 and trying to filter the data by age.

The fact that the data is being made available to larger audience than it needs to fulfil it's stated purpose is a violation of trust. The expectation of the parents is that the data is exposed to minimum of people - employees of Life360. Instead, the data is shared with the employees of potentially hundreds of companies. None of whom need pay anything to Life360.

> About a million things. ... Like walk around the neighborhood ...

In less time than it takes to search one neighborhood by foot, someone can use big data to search a million neighborhoods. And thereafter rerun that search day after day, week after week, year after year. With no effort.

There's a reason so many companies are tracking everything, and so many companies are paying for that tracking data: it's powerful.

When I first saw this product announced, I immediately wanted to replace my manual solution with it. I’ve been putting it off because other work had to be done, but now that I read this, I think I’ll stick with my current workflow for now.

What I’ve been doing is first resize an image to multiple specific sizes using Vips (https://www.libvips.org/API/current/using-cli.html)

for size in 8120 5260 3840 2560 1920 1200 992 768 576 320
vipsthumbnail $img --vips-progress --linear \
--size=$size --vips-concurrency=(sysctl -n hw.ncpu) -o $size'_%s.png' \
--eprofile='/System/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/sRGB Profile.icc' \
--delete --rotate
end

Optimize them using ImageOptim (https://imageoptim.com/mac)

imageoptim (dirname $img)

Then use some kind of template to add a srcset on my websites.

This one is using Plim (https://plim.readthedocs.io/en/latest/syntax.html#tag-attrib...) which I use on Lunar’s website (https://lunar.fyi)

img alt="background" srcset=${
','.join(f'/static/img/stars/{width}_stars.png {width}w'
for width in [8120, 5260, 3840, 2560, 1920, 1280, 1024, 768, 640, 320])
}

This one is using Hugo which I use on https://alinpanaitiu.com

{{ $paths := (
apply
[8120, 5260, 3840, 2560, 1920, 1200, 992, 768, 576, 320, 64]
"printf" "/images/%d_stars.png %dw" ) }}
{{ $srcset := delimit $paths "," }}
<img
alt="background"
srcset="{{ $srcset }}">

Having a CDN in front which could do this for me is what I’ve been dreaming of, so I can simply have an images folder with the unaltered images instead of all those variants. But what I want isn’t always what I need.

Maybe what I need is something like a reverse proxy that can generate the variant on the fly when it is requested by the browser through the srcset.
> Why hasn't the industry come up with an alternative?

We used to have that, some companies still have the capability and know-how to build and run infrastructure that is reliable, distributed across many hosting providers before "cloud" became the "norm", but it goes along with "use or lose it".
I think if they fix them the global finance sector will crash overnight.

Apparently Mickey and Oswald were both created by Ub Iwerks. I don't know why it's still repeated that Disney created them personally.

> I'm not sure why type of ownership pertains here?

I demonstrated the home ownership is well over 50% worldwide. I conceded that that might well be more condos / flats / coops in other countries, but I don't have that data.

As for single-family being the cheapest to build: that is quite likely true worldwide outside of urban cores. If you think it's not, it's on you to prove it. If it IS true, then it's obviously not a US political problem.
I find myself purposefully diving through Tidal's playlists and genres, like I used to flick through CDs in HMV.

The auto-discovery can be really hit or miss (mostly miss) - but so was picking CDs without listening to them. But the nature of streaming means I can flit between genres day to day, maybe I'm feeling psychedelic trance one day, the next schlager, the next prog rock. Prior to digital music I'd discover a lot within my focused genre (ambient electronic) but little else. But now I have the chance to find songs that have that similar feel for me but vary wildly in genre and style without sinking hours into music I don't enjoy.

Yes it requires more intention to discover new music than the streaming services built in recommendations but I feel like my music library has never been so varied and rich.
Yeah, I'm on a few. They mostly cater to industrial/experimental electronic, but there are a couple that talk about theory and technique that are really welcoming. If you're interested, shoot an email to info at moonmusiq.com

The security of Microsoft products is Microsoft's responsibility.

Microsoft seems uninterested in fulfilling that responsibility, therefore the responsible thing to do is to "motivate" Microsoft.
Totally, appreciate the discourse btw! Here are my thoughts for where the blockchain buzzword is useful:

- Consensus around asset ownership -- every render to the network automatically ascribes authorship of the final render via a minting process a la NFT.

- Authorship/ownership graph -- Similar to above, in my mind the end game is an asset graph that tracks combinations of assets and their owners used to create final renders or assets. Piracy in digital assets is rampant and having a distributed source graph of "what assets are made of" isn't something tractable for a central body to take on but would reward impactful creators more meritocratically.

- From the above, a blockchain setup could bake in the direct monetization of IP, copyright, permissions, etc.

- Supply side incentives -- for all the misplaced hype, blockchain can actually nail financializing "sharing economy" primitives in a trustless way. I'm sure there are many people who don't want to trust running VMs on a closed network. Adding "liquidity" to the compute market here may be the biggest benefit IMO. Technically speaking it's doable without blockchain but I'm not aware of for-profit success stories, though happy to be proven wrong.

- Open source data -- The market doesn't incentivize open source data for a highly technical (and niche atm) segment like this. Intellectual property management and law could actually be much simpler if open was the standard.

- Licensing -- I have to think the service you suggest would be cease and desisted by a number of large incumbents on legal grounds of running a business without each node contributor having the right licensing permissions as well as the central body. IANAL but there's a sharing economy argument (similar to Uber & Airbnb) somewhere in here that brings the blockchain approach more into the legislative grey area in a way that makes the market more efficient.

Btw, it's not lost on me that these useful aspects present new classes of integrity, security, privacy challenges. Just trying to discuss in good faith as you mentioned. I think the blockchain aspect isn't super interesting on it's own right but brings the barriers for entry of a system like this way down.
"proper engineering effort, proper timeline and a budget"

Like all things? The proper engineering effort is hard to find in such a capacity and a budget to do all of this is overwhelming for most tech companies to attempt where an ROI can be seen within tolerable risk.

C and C++ are simply better.
I got bounced off a front-end job once, for not being good enough at React.

Mind you I've been building SPA's since they weren't "a thing" and today I mostly use Vue.

But for that role, they didn't like my lack of .env variables in the front-end (such as for things that end up in the HTML), after a 3 hours coding test, and a couple of minor React-y tid bits they couldn't even clarify. Basically, not "idiomatic".

Meanwhile, none of them could tell me how React actually works, beyond throwing jargon vomit. They couldn't write a web application without React. The recruiter, which we had to go through, basically had no empathy and saw me as a failed resume. I felt pretty helpless, even though I've said many times to both parties that I wasn't a "React developer".

That is the sad state of affairs today; and I'm finding it's not just in the front-end, where you could argue that you need sanity on this pile of rubbles. It's also in the backend, especially on the auto-magic "DevOps!"
Don't really understand the paragraphs here on "reputation" and "tech stack," it's pretty obvious that it's all about the salary & work-life balance, which isn't that surprising.
Yours too? (Twilight Zone music.)
Also agreed. I've had days where I was in a really productive mood and wanted some really high tempo music to go with it, and end up searching for 30 minutes and only finding things that slow me down. And other moods and modes have their own vibe, that has nothing to do with genre and a lot to do with tempo and timbre.
Fowler doesn't ship. When you read his articles, especially when they make you feel like you know something others (especially those awful management types) don't, remember that he hasn't made anything.

He is a software life coach.
It is a weird article. Fowler obviously knows a lot about integration, but since his business is about writing software he tries to discredit "low code tools", so that more people use his services. I think that those tools are great for exactly the reasons indirectly stated in the article - they take the mind off the implementation and let you focus on bigger picture. I was involved in tons of integration project and they were always 90+% about communication: agreeing on interfaces. The actual implementation is almost always trivial, with tools like TIBCO or MuleSoft you can sometimes do it in 15-30 minutes (for simple flows, the more complex ones can take up to 3 days).
I believe Spotify's discovery algorithms have factored in other user's playlists when trying to find songs associated to other songs -- that's why (in my experience, anyway) it has been better than the usual recommendation engines.
I was going to say that’s super high. I haven’t used Stack Overflow in years. The only time I come across it is when using JavaScript or some niche sql queries.

The FIDO (and at this price you're probably buying FIDO2) authenticators aren't generating an OTP, they're doing public key crypto to prove they're the same key as you enrolled.

There have been several open hardware designs in this space, so if you can do a lot better that seems like you should go into business.

And since you mentioned phones, a nice modern phone, with a fingerprint reader or similar, is also a Security Key for this purpose anyway. Google even have a prototype for the scenario where your (Android) phone is a valid Security Key, your desktop or laptop with Bluetooth and Chrome can see it nearby, so it lets you authenticate from the phone for desktop web pages.

You can use algorithms to prioritize the variants in the VCF file based on how damaging they are predicted to be, for example
VAAST http://www.yandell-lab.org/software/VAAST/VAAST_Quick-Start-...
or Exomiser. There are ways to bias the search using phenotypes that you know of. The issue with using existing databases is that you will never find a novel variant that may be causative. There are companies that provide this service (e.g. Fabric Genomics) and they may be willing to help.
FastAPI doesn't (directly) help with most of these either, so that's really a Flask vs. Django comparison rather than Flask vs. FastAPI.

Well, for many use cases they did replace C++. Not passing a value judgement here, just observing that most professional programmers wouldn't resort to C++ for most tasks.
