cfu28··on Selfhosting on Localhost
If you don’t mind closed source software, I’ve found PhotoStructure to be a little nicer. Ive found it’s the closest thing to google photos/apple photos that’s still self-hostable: https://photostructure.com/
cfu28··on Show HN: Plasmo – a framework for building modern Chrome extensions
This is neat. How does live-reloading work? Manually reloading a chrome extension with each code change has been a pain point for me in the past.
cfu28··on Dokku – Free Heroku Alternative
Not familiar with Qovery, but yes you can create preview envs. They’re called “review apps” for Dokku and it’s super neat. It ties in really nicely with GitHub actions so you can spawn and tear down preview environments with each pull request: https://github.com/dokku/github-action/blob/master/example-w....
cfu28··on Is Rust Web Yet?
The author of just-js did a write up about how he got that performance: https://just.billywhizz.io/blog/on-javascript-performance-01...
cfu28··on Taking Pictures the Hard Way
Ilford hp5+ still seems reasonably priced, even if it’s a little higher now than it was just a year or two ago
cfu28··on Amid doctor shortage, NPs and PAs seemed like a fix. Data’s in: Nope
I get the AMA is not exactly the most unbiased source, but the study the article refers to uses quality measures and cost data from electronic medical records. Survey is an uncharitable take.
cfu28··on San Francisco VC firm required job applicants to take online IQ test
It does feel like it functions as one. It is a section of the MCAT that is least correlated with the amount of studying and the hardest section to improve on with retakes.
cfu28··on The Greedy Doctor Problem
This assumes that actions that make a patient happy also make them healthy. There’s a risk that pursuing patient happiness can come at the expense of patient health. The doctor may be more inclined to keep a patient from switching doctors to keep getting paid.
cfu28··on The 1788 Doctors' Riot
The AMA certainly has physicians as members, but I would call it a stretch to say they represent the interests of a majority of physicians.

Plus, the AMA/AOA has been lobbying for more residency spots for a while now, which would increase supply for physicians. These are generally things that could bring down costs.

cfu28··on The 1788 Doctors' Riot
Physician salaries only make up about 8.6% of all healthcare costs. That’s less than Germany, Australia, France, etc.

Healthcare costs do need to come down, but slashing physician salaries should be near the bottom of the list of things to target.

cfu28··on The EMA Covid-19 data leak, and what it tells us about mRNA instability
> Ψ

Ψ is naturally found in tRNA, so its not really something to be concerned about.

Edit: scratch that, confusing pseudouridine with 1-methyl-3’-pseudouridylyl

cfu28··on The EMA Covid-19 data leak, and what it tells us about mRNA instability
Anything particular reason you're worried about extra mRNA fragments? mRNA needs a initiation sequence in order to be translated into a protein, which only exists at the front. It also needs a polyA tail to maintain stability or it would just degrade. Random fragments don't do anything on their own
