Ask HN: Is AI going to cure the common cold?I know that it's tongue in cheek to ask when AI is going to "cure cancer and solve climate change", but, is there a company / university / lab working on using AI (or mRNA, or CRIPSR, or whatever) to solve the more mundane and yet incredibly frustrating "small diseases" (like the common cold that we'll all get twice a year no matter how much vitamin C we consume ?)Where is the "breakthrough" research done on topics that no one talk about ?

Ask HN: How common is banning Docker?I was doing some client work recently at a bank, where most of their engineering is offshored one of the big offshore companies.The offshore team had to access everything via virtual desktops, and one of the restrictions was no virtualisation within the virtual desktop - so tooling like Docker was banned.I was really surprsied to see modern JVM development going on, without access to things like TestContainers, LocalStack, or Docker at all.To compound matters, they had a single shared dev env, (for cost reasons), so the team were constantly breaking each others stuff.How common is this? Also, curious what kinds of workarounds people are using?

Show HN: Lho.sh my new Common Lisp+Htmx personal web for selling stock photosHey guys,I am kind of an amateur at web development (I mostly did linux/embedded professionally), and wanted to do something fun and unique, so I made a website for selling my stock photos as a hobby photographer.It is built in Common Lisp using Hunchentoot and HSX, very gently integrates it PayPal (this was by far the most painful thing), and uses HTMX to make switching pages smoother.I am also implementing active search as we speak.Developing things with Lisp and HTMX interactively was a breath of fresh air, I loved being able to keep around several versions of a function and swap them around at runtime without having to restart.The fact that Lisp universally speaks s-expressions is also super handy, as I did not have to worry about formats.(The photo metadata is just serialized to an s-expression, I don't think I will have too many of them to justify sqlite for that).One thing I did because I am paranoid was adding type signatures everywhere, the serapeum library gives them a nice s

How common is it for employers to lay off employees for non-performance reasonsI see a lot of news regarding big corporations like Google, Microsoft, etc laying off employees due to 'strategic reasons', 'overhiring', etc.I wanted to understand how common is it in the industry? Do startups and mid-sized companies do it often?If this happens very often, is it then wrong from employees to treat employers instrumentally. That is, should we frown upon people who leave after a few weeks of joinig a company because they got a much better offer? Or they did not join the company whose offer they had accepted because they got a better offer?Founders of HN, what do you feel about this?
