Not just ECMO, people who were "only" on a respirator for a few weeks/months also have their fair share of issues afterwards. Makes you think reading stories like these should be enough to convince anyone to get vaccinated. But some people are still convinced that this won't happen to them if they get Covid, however they fear any number of side effects from the vaccination...

No the advice still holds true here:

> That's a funny one, and I agree, and it's also the reason I use "and" instead of "but" for those kinds of sentences. It doesn't trigger people's alarms.

In this case the advice isn't all that profound, the "but" is just sectioning off the first part of the sentence like a parenthetical.
Perhaps, but most Series C equity is already paper money for employees. Companies are going to Series D/E/F rounds with regularity - and you may be looking at 5+ years to liquidity. A company that is getting tepid investor interest likely won't see a major upswing in valuation for their next round.

Consider that as you join a company working on its next round, you may have a 50% chance of major company restructuring which can range from the project you were promised vanishing, to you being laid off. A 15% chance that you get a free doubling of your equity comp on the next 409A valuation (which may be insignificant, have a 90 day exercise window, or other hijinks). While having a 35% chance that nothing major happens.

Unlike an investment portfolio, I have a finite productive lifespan where I can do good work and receive a good payoff for it. Getting stuck at a company going nowhere, or worse getting laid off from one is not a good way to spend that time.

I would consider those two "mommy blogs", though I will stop calling them that and instead use "food blogs". No offense against mothers, everyone has one.

Some people like the format of food blogs, most people don't. Every single person I talk to about CookTime immediately mentions how they love there is no backstory, context, literary prose they have to scroll through to get to a recipe. We are already solving the problem of too much food blog text on a page.
I have a much different experience. I have a dozen family members that were part of the auto industry in Michigan. They were on top of the world for decades. It ended with most of them thinking society has collapsed in the 80s and doubting they'd actually get their pension.

I really think that if we follow the "zero values by default" philosophy, it wouldn't be shocking for Go to accept omitting function arguments and just zero them.

The fact that it doesn't, and insists on you passing the right number of arguments, makes the point that you can't in fact, just afford to zero out everything that isn't explicitly specified.

> All modern pedagogy and psychology sciences indicate that hardships create a lot of broken people and a few hardened narcissists.

Really depends on who you ask in the field of psychology. There have been several perspectives contrary to what suggest (e.g., humanistic psychology, positive psychology, post traumatic growth, etc) and I don’t agree that “all modern pedagogy and psychology sciences” suggests that hardships yield nothing but broken people and narcissists.

However, I generally agree with the idea that sayings like “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” are a bit silly (they ignore the fact that what doesn’t kill you can severely weaken you for life).

I just don’t think it’s particularly helpful to take things to the other extreme either.

God forbid people should have the unlicensed freedom to misinform. Before, this privilege was only in the hands of the same major media giants that now rail about the supposed epidemic in misinformation of the type that they had no problem themselves creating however it suited their purposes or political alignments previously.

That anyone who even basically believes in the importance of free speech and individual freedom should jump on the same bandwagon of paranoia about members of the public holding and promoting ideas that aren't always "correct" or literally correct and calling this a threat to freedom is absurd. This is a complete turning of cause and effect upon its head. No, the danger is explicitly much more so in the idea that some supposedly proper consensus of ideas should be enforced so that nobody does something silly, like voting for the "wrong" candidate, or viewing certain medical mandates in the "incorrect" way.

Administration happens when people aren't solving problems on their own. So if you don't desire administration, solve the problem without it. Don't do stuff like declaring it a non-issue or hiding behind some principle, because that doesn't actually work. The former is obviously unserious, and the latter just weakens and eventually destroys the principle.

I have never known anyone who lived in Bosnia in the 1980s, but I can imagine that the arguments over Yugoslavia's makeup might have felt like 'a little political tension' back then.

It's true that the US has a lot going for it. No enemies to its north or south, still the largest economy, high levels of education, etc. At the same time, standards of living have seen a large drop over the last two years. This appears to be intensifying the arguments over social issues, and increasing incitement to violence. What I see when I look at places that are not the Americas or Western Europe is that the peace and wealth people take for granted can be lost so easily.

Show HN: Colorfle – A daily color mixing game inspired by Wordle
Hi HN,

I was inspired by Wordle to make Colorfle, a different take on the genre where the goal is to mix colors together to match the target color within six tries. There were some interesting problems to tackle in making this game, one of them being the difference between mixing digital colors and real-life behavior (in RGB, blue + yellow = grey!). I hope you enjoy it -- any feedback would be much appreciated!
Not really, lots of people know they aren't the "smartest guy in the room", or "the most specialised" or whatever, but trust their people skills, family connections, visions or simply brute force their way up.

The point is that social skills and networking will get you much much further than being the semi silent, guarded and "honourable" person sitting in the corner of the room - even if you are actually way "smarter" than the socialites or the people with a flair for marketing, social games, politics etc.
Back around 1993, plus or minus, I was working for a company whose name you'd recognize but I won't mention. We had an essentially failed project that they wanted to get back on its feet by changing to a more conventional platform.

But which platform? We had a few contenders: PowerBuilder, Gupta SQLWindows, and good old C++ (using Borland's OWL framework, iirc). So they divided us up into separate teams, each to try a small proof-of-concept with our respective assigned platform, seeing who could accomplish the most in a month.

I was on the SQLWindows team, and we managed to implement the most of the PoC project. But when us developers got together and compared notes, we found that although my team had won at the finish line, the details told a different story. The C++ team finished 2nd, but if you looked at the specifics of our progress, my team got off to a running start, while the C++ team had to build a bunch of infrastructure first. After that, their velocity was much higher than our own, so if the PoC test had been extended for another week, they'd have wound up the winners.

We had drawn this all out on a whiteboard, with the intention of explaining this to management the next day. But when we got into the office that morning, our whiteboard had been erased, replaced with just "SQLWindows", and management told us that whatever the results, it had been decided to go with SQLWindows.

I cannot deal with office politics.

Ask HN: Did Plivo silently abandon open sourcing their software?
Their launch tagline was "Open source alternative to Twilio".
I just took a look at their repository(https://github.com/plivo/plivoframework) and it looks like it hasn't been updated since 2015 and the documentation has been down for long time(https://groups.google.com/g/plivo-users/c/ZuImvGKhnno/m/Uj-109PQCQAJ). I couldn't find any announcement that they have become closed source. I think I might have missed a conversation/announcement regarding this.
That's actually newer. I've remembered go.microsoft.com for a long time though.
Some airlines do have this option. At last resort you might have to purchase the entire row. But usually you can get it done for a seat or less, especially if you call up beforehand and the flight isn't full.
I'm sure most all of us have one or more personal stories like this, but many seem to forget them and focus on the schadenfreude.

My biggest problem with short URLs is they appear spammy. I can't look at it and decide whether it's safe.

Just yesterday I received a text from a shortcode with a "bby.me/XXXX" URL saying my Best Buy order was canceled. Turns out it was a legit order I placed nearly 6 months ago and was on backorder that I forgot about.

I'd love for a shortening service to offer an "unfurl" tool where I could paste in the URL, and it shows me what the redirected site is without clicking it and potentially activating their clickthrough tracking.
"Hanging out somewhere where there happens to be music played" is quite different from "listening". The advice only applies to the latter.
It's not that things are falling apart, it's that things are not being put back together. Complex societies have systems and mechanisms in them that require people to do a.) do their job and b.) hold others accountable. We're a uniquely distracted and lethargic generation obsessed with titillation, fantasy, and procrastination. Yet a lot of things require sober, deliberate work, and enforcing the rules. With the level of corruption in the US government--the level of open shirking of duties and outright lies, coupled with the seeming inability of elected officials to accomplish overwhelmingly popular policy changes, coupled with prolonged strategic malinvestment and a obvious debt bubble, we're in some serious hot water.

> whereas I think that patient risk + superior bridging/destination strategies really do dominate the VA ECMO discussion.

Is the idea here that when doctors are considering VA ECMO for a patient there is usually some non-trivial chance that the patient survives without it? In that case the choice, I guess, is between higher survival with more complications (VV ECMO) and lower survival with fewer complications (no ECMO)?
I think you can actually flip this situation around a little bit. You've now learned about a couple of things that are really important to you:

- You're ready to move on from being an IC
- You want to help or mentor others

There's no way to know how any given decision is going to turn out. There are some that are obvious but usually you won't know until to make a choice and live it for a bit.

You seem to have the ability to pivot - you've done it twice in 2 years. So now that you know the direction you want to go, you can either work with your management towards that path or you can seek out another opportunity that aligns with your current goals / desires.

You're not incredibly stupid nor are you necessarily a bad decision maker. You took a shot and it didn't work out. A lot of folks get stuck and never make a decision because they're worried it won't turn out. You had the guts to pick a path and, while it didn't work out, you've remained employed, broadened your experience base and learned more about what you want to do now. I applaud you for taking the shot!

In terms of professional help, possibly a mentor or career coach.

(FWIW - I did something similar about 18 months ago and am now pivoting back into a leadership role because I've discovered I miss it as well)
> waste prime years of their life.

I'm not sure that life is wasted, but I'd suggest financial opportunity is wasted.

You just can't reach the level of financial security that the previous generation could if that previous generation had a drastically lower cost of living relative to income for the first X years of their adult life. Especially as X approaches the length of your entire career.
>The most obvious confounding factor is of course that as covid rates rise, people are more likely to wear a mask.

Another confounding factor is that the West has many densely populated cities AND good record-keeping regarding mortality. As you get into poorer and poorer countries, you must also take into account the likelihood of error in their mortality statistics.

You must also consider that those who are less likely to wear a mask (even with a mandate) may also be otherwise more likely to contract and spread covid in the first place, and as long as there is a sufficiently large network of those people for the virus to operate in, mask mandates may make no overall difference in the mortality even if it were 100% effective in preventing death. Ie, if the virus was always primarily circulating among people unlikely to wear a mask, a mask mandate would make little difference. Mask mandates affect public behavior, but it may very well be that what people do in private is much more significant for transmission.
Enough intelligence to solve any kind of problem eventually.
That is a valid criticism, and I agree. At the same time, due to the reach of social media and the possible implications and the timely manner in which action should be taken, I think there has to be a system with some middle ground.

Maybe, forcing platforms to hide the content for some period of time and establishing a new court which only handles these cases, so a quick judgement can be made. But it's a really hard problem to solve.

I'm not proficient nor use at $DAY_JOB C, Go or Rust. However, I wanted to write an Emacs dynamic module and those were my main choices AFAIK.

I then found the benefits of writing client glue code between Minikube, direct K8s and Docker and Emacs a breeze.
