I agree! I encourage anyone who's involved in an open source software (OSS) project to get a CII Best Practices Badge at: https://bestpractices.coreinfrastructure.org/ ; if you are using OSS, then you should prefer projects with a badge.

If you want to see a video that explains the badge, see "An Introduction to the Core Infrastructure Initiative (CII) Best Practices Badge" at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMptmhV06j8

New projects are participating every day (see https://bestpractices.coreinfrastructure.org/en/project_stat... ). The badging application is itself open source software; its project site is: https://github.com/coreinfrastructure/best-practices-badge/

(Disclosure: I'm technical lead of the BadgeApp project. Hi Dan!)
Except when you're vaporizing it and there's no smoke.
My question whenever one of these de-googled google projects comes up is how do they keep up with the security patches released in stock? This is an especially big problem with all the "de-googled" chromium forks, that remove autocomplete from the address bar at the expense of running 3 versions behind stable. The only fork i've seen so far that even came close to keeping up with the average android install was Copperhead OS, and they seem fairly proud of that - it's right at the top of their features overview [1].

Seeing no mention of how up-to-date this OS is is worrying - I have a hard time seeing it as an improvement to reduce the number of calls to google services, while running an OS that's missing the last couple months of security updates.

Oh man, my heart breaks when I see yet another auth framework _yet again_ on HN front page, because I work for a company selling Identity Access Management solutions, so I'm not allowed to work on my dream authentication framework [1] for obvious legal reasons. I know a lot of problems regarding authentication and SSO, and I have such a simple solution in my head for a lot of use cases which would be useful for a lot of companies. It is especially annoying because I see how companies pay millions of dollars for fucking terrible solutions I don't think it's fair.

The only way I could start working on this if I quit my job, but that might not be very ethical thing to do. Any advice what should I do? What would you do?

Would that work if the search box was on the main page, though? Presumably, GoogleBot wouldn't index the results, but is it smart enough to know that the form redirects to the disallowed page?
Nice sexist message my friend.
Not op but: do skip useful parts of work you don't feel like doing. Do boring or annoying parts of work even when it is tempting. Do not skip test just because you don't feel like. Do clean up code after yourself even if it already works. Write documentation, ask questions even if you would rather code, etc. Finish tasks before moving to shiny new ones. When you know about bug, dont ignore it and at least put it into tracker. Send that mail to administration/management/customer, fill taxes, don't leave mess in common kitchen. If you promised you will do tasks in some order (e.g. prioritized them) follow what you said.

Don't come to work sleep deprived too often, eat properly, exercise. It may also mean taking time for socialization/family/help friends even if you would prefer to code right now.

Effectively, it means same thing as discipline in any other context.
I think they do. Ownership can for instance be agreed upon by regular contracts, completely orthogonal to who controls some keys. (Your accountant might, for instance.)

My understanding was that this always requires an entire second wifi module? On my big expensive desktop computer, I can only ever recieve or broadcast a wifi network, never both. Unless I install an additional wifi adapter.
Actually I do recall wondering about that possibility, but she didn't seem young enough. But perhaps it was intended to be ambiguous. Judging from this discussion, if that was the objective they nailed it.
And what effect do those chemicals have beyond just making bamboo fair the elements better ?

If its anything like pressure treated wood in the us I would not go anywhere near it.

Also. Who funds this? This sort of looks like a rich persons pet project that won't go anywhere. It looks alor like I am busy saving the world sort of projects that maybe help a hand full of people untill somebody gets bord.
We do this with dimension lumber. There are a couple of different processes of assessing the strength of a piece of lumber, but the designation is MSR (Machine Stress Rated) "is intended for any engineered application where low variability in strength and stiffness properties is primary product consideration" (1).

It looks like there have been attempts to do the same thing with bamboo, starting with adapting existing lumber grading machinery (2)

I don't see why it would be impossible to use bamboo in engineering applications as long as the physical properties of a given grade of bamboo stock could be guaranteed.

I assume treatment for pests, rot and fungus would also need to be applied to guarantee that those properties remain inviolate, but am no expert on bamboo.

Read this article and then tell me whether you think there is anything fundamentally wrong with the ADA’s and the CDA’s approach

It seems to be that these organizations are in the business of SICKcare, not HEALTHcare. It is much more profitable to keep people just a little sick (and dependent) than to cure them (which most diabetics are not even told is even a possibility).

I said, "at least" have sources. That is like the bare minimum. Here is a post I made earlier today that meets my standards: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18522479

Why is this not ethical? A lot of people I know who started their own company usually spun the idea off of experience from their prior employer. If its not ethical why not build it in your current company?
It would not have been a faithful adaptation of Dune. It might not have even bore a passing resemblance to the novel! But it would have been one hell of a film.
There is an infinite amount of complexity in a randomly selected real number. A famous example of packing lots of behavior in to a small number of parameters is [0]. A physical constant that will change everything drastically if it is changed even a little bit carries just as much information as one hundred constants to which the universe is less sensitive. That's the argument behind why the fine-tuning in the standard model is an indication that it is not sufficient.

Like seemingly every other post taking this position, again this post totally ignores one of the big problems Apple is solving, which is protecting the interests of the user.

Search the article for these words: roommate. boyfriend. partner. family. household. abuse. abusive. stalking. stalker. spying.

No hits.

The article is 100% free of any mention of one of the top dangers Apple addresses for users with its built in protections. No phone can fix the problem completely, but iOS bends over backwards to ensure that a user who takes an active interest in protecting their own privacy has the tools to do so.

Jrebel dicontinued android support. Does hotswapagent support android?

Cool watching Fuchsia evolve. It will definitely support Android apps, otherwise google throws away their playstore monopoly.
It isn't about facts or "truth" or "99.9% of scientists saying" we are screwed. That isn't how science/engineering works, its how politics works. Perhaps that is why there is difficulty communicating across the gap.

Do you have a source for that last one by the way (99.9 % of scientists saying we are screwed)?
The source of the information could also be a rogue employee at any of those places, especially for something shady, like robocalls.

In most places, it is not difficult for an employee, especially someone like a sysadmin or a DBA, to simply siphon the data into a CSV. Chances are that no one will ever figure it out.

I think that once law enforcement catches up, slow as they always are, they will start creating honeypot identities and then tracing the information leaks to their source. For now, there is little to be afraid of for the leakers.
This part is really eye-opening on getting an organization to open source their code:

https://increment.com/security/open-sourcing-buzzfeeds-singl...

There's understandably a lot of pressure in open sourcing anything security related. I wonder if that's because this SSO project belongs to Buzzfeed, and not a company that specializes in API gateways, like Kong:

https://github.com/ohioit/kong-oauth-sso

So many devs end up implementing oauth & sso through an API gateway when they move to microservices (we did). I'm just surprised that those features don't exist in popular gateways like nginx & haproxy in the non-enterprise versions. It seems sorely needed!
Yes, that's just it. It's gradually becoming a smart assistant, and that requires cohesion of data and services that Google provides now. I fully subscribe to that vision, and I want to able to participate in it, I just don't want Google, or Apple, or anyone else to control it, and of course it requires a secure foundation. I think there is going to be a new category way of thinking about this soon, for some people at least.
You still need self destructing cookies and randomized user agent to cover all bases.

Sort of, but if the software engineer had never had access to CS material and worked in a company where practices were based in CS so they naturally picked it up. These are villagers that build small homes without machinery and very basic tools, and haven’t learned from experts.
Close! The Fed printed many more dollars. Society gradually learns to revalue things and it starts with assets. The same reason Bitcoin and liquid assets are falling, the Feds destroying dollars. It's not that these things are falling but that USD are becoming more scarce.
Sorry, it is even clear which claim you are referring to at this point. Also, if you believe something so strongly why do you not have a go-to source for the information that lead to that belief? Why, exactly do I believe this is an important question to ask yourself (about everything)? It is just something unimaginable to me to not really know why I thought civilization is going to collapse and resort to 30 second googlings.

I guess in the end it is that book 6 degrees for you. If so, ok. I will check it out.
> Why is this not ethical?

Everything I learned about authentication, I learned at this company by digging the code base and understanding our customer's problems. I don't think this is the same like "I worked a lot with XY web framework so I start a startup with XY." I actually learned the domain of authentication only on company time.

> If its not ethical why not build it in your current company?

That's a good question I'm not allowed to answer here :D
Okay, that last paragraph really got me, is that really what you think diversity-concerned people think about diversity? Filling a quota, being politically correct... I beg to differ. While it's true there's always the kind of people who are part of a "hivemind" (there's those everywhere, blame the media, trends and multiple other sources), most people are aware of the true issue behind the topic - it's a matter of putting yourself in the shoes of the minorities. The problem is simple, say you are a trans woman of colour, from a low-income background & a migrant. Do you think their opinions are taken seriously, they are socially accepted in general, people don't hold any prejudices against them, and most importantly, they have a voice? Don't you think that oftentimes, people who are not the "norm", come from backgrounds different to yours or are simply of the other sex don't get as much value or visibility as say, a white american man? Sure enough recent diversity efforts have turned that around a bit, but I still think that for several groups, almost nothing has changed. I strive to make lives better for everyone, and I think that this issue in particular, were it solved, would help a lot the underprivileged. What about their ideologies, their thoughts, what if they are terrible people? This happens, but I still support allowing them to have a "basic dignity" to work upon. Overall, I just seek equality, that is all.

Apologies, I mis-read the comment, maybe I transposed parts of it with another, I don't know, but I thought it was an attack on server-side rendering.

> That's nice that you have such constraints, but it doesn't negate the fact that when the time comes you now have to work with two different systems instead of just using one.

YAGNI - the time invariably never does come.
Why is this not ethical? Once you quit your job you are free to work on any project unless you have signed some sort of non-compete and even then, it's probably the non-compete that's non-ethical and illegal.

We are wiser now, but for sure: characters that are in vogue nowadays (uncertain which) will likely be abhorred at some point in the future too.

If that is not ethical then the entire Western business world will collapse.

This is what "work" accomplishes. You go to work, exchange your time for services done for the company. In exchange, the company gives you money, and yes - extreme amounts of domain knowledge, to the extent that you might be the only person on the planet who knows X topic. Then you take it to the next workplace, to spread it and to innovate. If your current company doesn't like it, they can 1) increase the pay - like pay you so much money that you're willing to stay. or 2) sue you and crush you so that even if you go elsewhere lawyers will be on you everywhere you go.

This is how every single person alive on the planet does it.

Without knowledge transfer and this type of behaviour, we would never progress beyond the industrial age.
I understand. But if you're going to ask a community like this for help, it usually helps to show that you've done some leg-work of your own already. Otherwise you risk having your question come off as a variation of "do my homework for me".

Saying "I read these 6 blog posts, and came up with these 3 ideas about how to start, but I'm not sure how to pick between them", for example, would be a question that people would generally be more motivated to respond to. YMMV of course.

FWIW, to give you one concrete suggestion, the Programming Collective Intelligence book is pretty good.

There's renameutils[1] which has qmv

> Heck, sometimes I suspect someone like Homer Simpson/Peter Griffin would probably be the ideal entrepreneur/founder, since while they're not particularly bright, they've also got no inner filter whatsoever, are completely delusional about how good their work is and are willing to jump into new projects and ideas without a second thought. I'd rather be a delusional moron who gets things done than a normal person haunted by inner doubt and constantly worried about whether their work is good enough.

I know a guy like that. The problem with being a delusional moron is that his execution skills are poor (on account of being a moron), so even though he works hard on stuff, it likely won't amount to anything.
Yeah, I hear you. Honestly the smart-home/IOT movement has been very beneficial, not because of the sorry excuses for automation being sold right now, but because it enforces a certain level of pre-2005-web-like openness. I knew all the file system structures and specific web paths back in the day because it was just necessary to memorize it and easy to access things if you had specifics, whereas now everything is cryptographic strings, super long addresses like IP V6 ones, and based on dynamic interactions so that deep URLs are pretty much worthless to memorize except maybe on sites like GitHub, where the pattern is reasonable. The reason for my comment on smart-home stuff bringing back some of this openness is only that at least now there's a backdoor, so to speak. When a microwave doesn't talk and also has very little tactile differentiation on the buttons, at least you can use your Google Home or Amazon Alexa to tell that thing to warm up a plate for 3 minutes. Same goes for toaster ovens, rice cookers, water boilers, Sous Vide circulators, thermostats, locks, lights, etc. Yet another of the countless examples of why having things be open and have an API makes it better for absolutely everyone, especially since it facilitates use cases not able to be foreseen at inception. And, yes I do believe all of that can be done in a secure and sensible way. No need for security to be antithetical to inclusion, which is a pretty popular misconception.

Speaking of whacky stuff to do to access Linux and text editing, I remember back wen Jaws and even NVDA had far worse cursor tracking in the Windows CMD window, so you couldn't be sure that when your screen reader said it was beside a certain character, that it actually was. This is something I argue no sighted user of a computer has probably ever had to deal with, and never for a duration of years. So what I would do is I would type 'z' and then route the screenreader's secondary cursor to make sure that the 'z' I added was added where it would/should have been, if my cursor was in fact where the screen reader said. Just imagine needing to text edit where you can't even trust the position of the system caret .... fun times!

I think that change is better explained by the higher deposits required under the present high asset price low interest rate regime. The UK base rate was around 12% in 1991 and it is 0.5% today.
