How is the security? Can someone just bust the window to grab my computer / equipment?
navd··on Ask HN: Have you had the Corona virus?
28 year old male, USA. Same exact thing with sore throat. Funny enough, I noticed the weird breathing coming on while running a couple days before symptoms showed as well.
navd··on Ask HN: Have you had the Corona virus?
Not if you're only running tests on people ending up in ICU and not mild cases.
navd··on Ask HN: Have you had the Corona virus?
Keep in mind there are going to be a lot of instances where people are infected but are not confirmed. I know a couple of people who were / are sick, had C19 symptoms but were not tested because they weren’t considered high risk enough.
navd··on Deploy your side-projects at scale for basically nothing – Google Cloud Run
Sorry for any confusion but I didn’t mean it WAS based off cloud run, but was fundamentally the same type of product with a better dev experience built around it.

Cloud run is what zeit now was before it moved to v2. https://zeit.co/
navd··on Ask HN: CS, still a good career in 3-5 years?
It's still a great idea, and the fact that you have more experience and a real passion for it means that you'll most likely out compete your peers.

The best piece of advice I can give is that at the end of the day, do what you feel is best for you personally and don't pay attention to what your peers are doing. The programming landscape is LARGE.

navd··on Ask HN: What are successful projects that started as prototyped hypotheses?
Just because you build a project with the second approach, it doesn’t mean you haven’t thought about alternative solutions or design like defined in the first.

A lot of times it’s useful building products by rapidly iterating because you see flaws, holes in your thinking, and get feedback immediately from people who are going to use it.

Immediate (or shorter term) feedback can be very helpful.

But to answer your question, YC talks a lot about Twitch being an example of the second approach.

navd··on Tesla Tripp Police Report Released
Ehhhh it’s hard to say if there’s really even a story here. Seems like some sensationalism going on.
navd··on Changing Your Diet Can Help Tamp Down Depression, Boost Mood
Sure but when people say "processed foods" they usually mean foods that are "HIGHLY" processed such that everything that is good about them is removed. i.e. the complex carbs and fiber that are found in whole wheat vs your run of the mill all purpose white flour.

I believe he meant coriander (although coriander is usually the seeds of the plant)
navd··on Federal Prosecutors Conducting Criminal Probe of Juul
I think you’re partly right. However comparing nicotine to caffeine is like comparing apples to oranges. They are similar, but nicotine affects the brain in a much more different (and arguably more addictive) way than caffeine does.
navd··on Federal Prosecutors Conducting Criminal Probe of Juul
I'm not sure why I see this popping up throughout the comments. Nicotine BY ITSELF is extremely addictive.
navd··on Kubernetes Academy, a free product-agnostic education platform
Looks like this is all setup to get you to ultimately take some exam called the CKA
navd··on Ask HN: Is there a project based book or course on Go for writing web APIs?
Not a tutorial but here's a project that goes over the architecture of building one using best practices. You may not need everything in it (so take from it what you will), but it should be helpful:

navd··on I completed Ultimate Go, took good notes and commented directly on source code
Where are you located? We’re doing a 3 day in Miami next month.
navd··on I completed Ultimate Go, took good notes and commented directly on source code
Not Bill, but I work for Ardan. I’m happy you enjoyed the class! Bill works tirelessly on this stuff and I’m sure he’ll be happy to see you got something out of it.

As an aside, there’s nothing like attending a training in person and I highly recommend it. NOT because I work for Ardan, but because the quality is top notch. And Bill is really entertaining to watch teach X-D

navd··on Flutter looks good, but is painful
Flutter is not that bad. It is a step in the right direction but there are some paradigms that makes simple things hard. Animations are harder than necessary and building non default layouts requires a bit of thinking to get right.

My biggest issue is that there is still this "uncanny valley" feeling when using a flutter app. It feels much better than a react native or Cordova app, but something still feels off.

Right now it seems great for prototyping. For iOS however, I've been playing around a bit with SwiftUI which currently (even in its beta state) provides an astronomically better dev experience and user experience.

navd··on Ask HN: How do you make yourself productive after a tiring day at work?
Forming a habit

navd··on Show HN: Oozy.fm the Podcast Playlist
Hey guys I’m working on a podcast app to help people discover new great shows. Here is some background on why I started the project:

I would love to hear your thoughts!

navd··on Ask HN: In CS, is it better to be highly specialized or generalized?
It's one of my favorite as well! And that's an awesome little saying from your grandad too!
navd··on Ask HN: In CS, is it better to be highly specialized or generalized?
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyse a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.

navd··on Ask HN: Why is .NET not popular with startups?
As someone who has done a lot of work with .NET in a past life, I think the main reason that more startups aren't using it are for culture reasons. .NET's move into open source is fairly recent and I'd expect more startups to use it (if it fits) in the future.

Most startups are trying to build products with a low budget overhead and previously that was a lot harder to do in the .NET ecosystem.

navd··on Caddy web server no longer completely open source
As someone who is working on Caddy, I can assure you that Caddy is still very much open source! mholt and I have been working on version 2 which has a lot of improvements over the first version of Caddy. It's not in a releasable state yet.

We are currently at a stage where we are getting feedback from the community on our current progress. If you want to be a part of that, feel free to reach out to one of us.

navd··on Show HN: Pensieve. A Dev Environment for Kubernetes
I didn’t understand what your project was doing from the README, but it looks like you’re handling keeping a local directory in sync with a deployment on k8s.

Congrats on publishing some code! You might get some inspiration from some more mature products in this space such as tilt and skaffold.

navd··on Go makes it easier to write correct, clear and efficient code
I hear this comment made often. For some people like me, Go is simple, and that makes it a great programming language. I definitely wouldn't call it terrible!

Otherwise, a language is more than its feature set. A big part of what makes a language enjoyable is its culture as well. I think C# is a great language, but I prefer Go's culture much more.

navd··on ‘AWS vs. K8s’ Is the New ‘Windows vs. Linux’
I disagree, I think k8s is entering the slope of enlightenment. The ecosystem is still early, but there are some amazing tools being built that can make you very productive.
navd··on ‘AWS vs. K8s’ Is the New ‘Windows vs. Linux’
I thought it would be useful to add that you can also generate k8s manifests from a helm chart using the `helm template` command.

I'm in the same boat where I avoid helm if at all possible.

navd··on Radicle: A decentralized alternative to GitHub built on IPFS
The website is a work of art, really digging the details!
navd··on Ask HN: Looking for ideas
If you want to take a year off for a break more to you. But I wouldn't quit to work on an idea that you don't have yet. You'll be wasting a precious opportunity that can be taken advantage of when you do have something you're passionate about to work on.
