I develop browser based video games that talk to a central API that I control.

I mostly have the setup you describe, and most development happens against a CORS-free staging server. But it's often necessary to build a local prod version that is identical to the live version for debugging or analysis, that plays against real players and reads/writes to the same data store.

It's an edge case, and in the past when I've done web development simply turning off CORS on staging has trivially solved any issues. But it does feel a bit like the developers of the browsers have chosen not to include the feature in a "we're smarter than you, trust us, you don't want this" kind of way. For the most part, they're probably right.
Oh sure, I know. Often wondering if I should even try with Safari. I was trying to ask how Edge was broken.
Xerox's name was meant to evoke its business:

> Looking for a term to differentiate its new system, Haloid coined the term xerography from two Greek roots meaning "dry writing".

"Aspirin" was named for the Spiraea ulmaria plant used in its synthesis.

"Borax" is sodium borate.

"Kleenex" helps keep your nose and face and surroundings clean.
Seems very flawed.

Technologies: Android programmer. Java and Kotlin. Know Jetpack, Room, MVVM, LiveData, data binding etc. Know JUnit and Espresso tests. Know 3rd party libraries - Retrofit, Okhttp, Dagger, Gson and Moshi, Glide, RxJava.

I have worked on apps released on Google Play, some I did from launch to release.

I also have some experience doing Swift iOS coding, but it is not my expertise. I am also familiar with things like MySQL/MariaDB, Python, Unix VPSs, Google cloud virtual machine instances (and a little with Amazon EC2) etc.

I'm capable of launching a cloud (or VPS) instance, installing LAMP (Linux/Apache/MariaDB/Python), designing a MySQL/MariaDB database, writing a simple Python REST API, and off and away. I prefer to focus on the Android app, but I can do the whole thing. I am not that up on modern HTML/CSS/Javascript and whatever the JS framework of the month is however.

Resume: E-mail me. I have programmed Android since 2011, and have worked in IT longer than that.

Email: enmendurana@outlook.com

Bonus: Currently I am really looking to build my portfolio more than make money. I am currently working at a small company for a very, very low salary, and a sizable equity stake. I wouldn't mind working for a post series A or large company, but I'm willing to work for pre series A companies (or - possibly - even pre-seed/angel companies), and the commensurate salaries. In other words, I am affordable to early stage companies.

Actually, the plan would be - make Israel more like Sweden.

That way its neighbours actually enjoy their presence in the region.

But, as long as Israelis continue to justify the wanton murder of civilians as their 'right as Israelis', then there will be calls for the destruction of their state. Whether this is moral or not, is as yet undecided...

Ask HN: Are There Any Play by Email Games?
I just saw https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18577842 where somebody used SES to collect spam emails. It reminded me that somebody posted a play by email game to here a couple of years ago. Does anybody know what that game was and if it's still around? I'm also interested in any other play by email games. If there's enough interest I might try my hand at writing such a game, and putting together a serverless stack to run it.
The word "literally" is misused, unnecessary and annoying.

I for one, welcome our one and only new browser overlord.
I think if you're trying to browse sites like cnn or huff post it doesn't matter. It's really when you get into the metaweb and find developers trying to push the browsing experience you really yearn for more since non-chromium browsers are just so far behind when it comes to staying compatible with web specs. Safari has implemented many of the most important APIs, Edge, is missing many that have been defined and cemented for like a decade.

To solve problems at scale, paradoxically, you have to know the smallest details -Alan Eustace

Today, Google’s engineers exist in a Great Chain of Being that begins at Level 1. At the bottom are the I.T. support staff. Level 2s are fresh out of college; Level 3s often have master’s degrees. Getting to Level 4 takes several years, or a Ph.D. Most progression stops at Level 5. Level 6 engineers—the top ten per cent—are so capable that they could be said to be the reason a project succeeds; Level 7s are Level 6s with a long track record. Principal Engineers, the Level 8s, are associated with a major product or piece of infrastructure. Distinguished Engineers, the Level 9s, are spoken of with reverence. To become a Google Fellow, a Level 10, is to win an honor that will follow you for life. Google Fellows are usually the world’s leading experts in their fields. Jeff and Sanjay are Google Senior Fellows—the company’s first and only Level 11s.
I work in medical devices and sometimes it feels like we have so much regulation that doing the right thing is too expensive and cumbersome. I wouldn't bet on banks and medical institutions to be extra secure. And Equifax has shown that a massive breach is not really hurting the company.
This is the thing that bothers me. They appear to be getting set out in front of my kid’s school (in sets of 4), and it’s the natural inclination for kids to want to run jump and play on them.

So now there’s this sort of quandary I have as a parent: do I tell my kids and or other kids to not play on these scooters? And to take care of them? Where should I draw the line?

I don’t see them in poor areas of town, so it’s like they exist in large part as an almost “parasite” on the good will of nice communities where they won’t be stolen or chopped up for parts. They’re here to make money for a private company.

In a public park or at the public library it’s easy to say: “this is here for our community, by our community, you need to take care of it because we’re all in this together.”

These scooters (despite their benefit) are ultimately taking money out of the community (if they’re profitable) and they’re budgeting for loss and damage, so why not let the kids play on them and damage them?
I wonder the likelihood that someone who just landed a job will see your comment in this thread... :)
> Both factions completely ignored white Midwest people in 2016, though.

No, they didn’t both do that; the progressive populist faction, particularly, did not (the fact that the progressive faction was outperforming among constituencies like rural whites, both nationally and specifically in the Midwest, that were traditionally seen as more conservative, whereas the neoliberal faction’s strength was focussed in what were conventionally seen as progressive urban/coastal strongholds and minority constituencies was one of the most heavily reported surprises of the primary, and was a direct result of that.)

The neoliberal faction won the primary and controlled general election strategy, controlling both the Presidential campaign and the DNC, sure, but it wasn't both factions ignoring the constituency you point to.

Not sure what this is attempting to refute. Your comment is about why monocultures are bad for competition, which I happen to agree with. My comment is about why Chromium being open-source doesn't alleviate any concerns about monoculture.
How did we get to this point where in order to use the Internet you have to sign up for all these free accounts and generate all these ridiculous username/password combinations

We stopped using sites built by amateurs in their spare time and demanded "beautiful user experiences" that we didn't pay anything for. That costs money, so people who wanted to solve that "pain" looked for business models that meant they could deliver what people want without charging directly. Hence we have an Internet driven by advertising and privacy violation.
I really started hating Quora a while back, probably 3 years ago and stopped collaborating.
Most because "people" were spamming answers with marketing bs...
So many answers start with "I'm Bob, CEO of MyCompany.com, I am an expert in this and that"

Most Quora users are hungry for answers and flood-request you to answer their question just because the system recommends them to do so. No matter how many times you pass, the system still keeps notifying you that "you are needed". Quora doesn't understand a no is a no.

IMHO -> There truly isn't any benefit on providing good answers on Quora, other than stroking your ego, might as well become a micro-influencer on Instagram.

Even worse most questions seem truly 1-Google search away and the answers are low-effort.
Sure you do have some rare gems, and those are truly amazing to read. Alas, that's not often and spamming answers just for the sake of answering has become a reality.
Bruce Schneier says data is a toxic asset. He's right. There should be (will be?) laws preventing collection of most data, and punitive liability when collected data is breached.
I run a business at risk of IP theft and this worries me. But sometimes I also wonder if in reality IP is a fairly weak premise for a business (I know...sleepless nights this issue gives me), precisely because (1) it’s so easily stealable, and (2) a lot of cultures don’t really seem to view IP as property, which is a western-centric point of view. And then I think we’ve been mad in the West to construct economies on IP creation rather than manufacturing, just because, well, who will we sue?
I always found Quora's demand that I make an account merely to read, like Pinterest, extremely rude. I don't think I ever gave in and made an account but I suppose I can find out now.
Does pair programming only work with friends?
No, stealing is wrong. No one is going to kill you, right? If you are going to die unless you do it, that might be different, at least arguable. Just cause you want to steal someone else's stuff and sell it for money - that's clearly wrong.

I refer students and colleagues to unpaywall.org - they have a great chrome extension that will take you to open access versions of papers with a single click when you're viewing the paper on pubmed, the publisher's site, etc. The proportion of papers that are OA is rapidly increasing so you can often find a suitable open access reference.

With regards to OA in general, the proportion of OA papers is rapidly increasing. While what Elbakyan has done has forced the field and society at large into a conversation about the availability of publicly funded research publications, the many proponents of OA have been working very hard to forward OA and have made huge progress in this area. All most people need to do is wait a few more years and it is likely that the majority of research publications will be OA.

Is what she doing inspiring? Yes and no. Personally, I find the Elseveir boycotts by Germany and Sweden to be more inspiring, as those represent large groups of individuals trying to enact change through more principled means.

Those white people certainly didn't think the progressive wing was listening to them.

Union guys went for Trump in the Midwest. I recognize that you care about about them, but they didn't buy it from the overall party, and definitely not from the progressive wing.

What's the default "progressive wing" opinion on white men? If we're judging by the loudest opinions? What do their wives think about that, if the man happens to be the breadwinner?

Chrome doesn't follow the published HTML standards either.
I hope everyone complaining about this, and the web monoculture it will crystallize, uses Edge (or at least Firefox) when they're on Windows. Otherwise you're part of the problem. Just like on the "Firefox's market share dips below 9%" thread, everyone wants to gripe about Chrome's dominance but no one wants to do anything about it.

Have you read the Bible? Jesus as the Bible presents him is quite different than the popular conception. I thought the popular conception was a kind of "dumbed down" version, but then, I read the Bible, and found that no, the Bible is even dumber, the popular conception is a "smartened up" version to make it seem more palatable.

Why should we suppose Jesus was not a lunatic and was instead a god? For that matter, Why shoukd we suppose Jesus was not a liar and instead was a god? (After all, Jesus proposed to teach others to be "fishers of men", what do you suppose he meant by that, other than to teach them to be con-men?). C.S. Lewis's arguments on these points are to me, not convincing, to say the least.

I agree more option other chrome is a positive. Started to use duck duck go browser on mobile and so far so good.

Firefox has always been a resource hog and crash prone for me on just about any system. Although I use it primarily for some of its features and prefer it over chrome.
Some people are going to grow up and be out on their own, and not have you around to censor for them. Everyone needs critical thinking skills. Without it, you're going to become a sucker, sooner or later.
Perhaps Microsoft developers, with access to Windows' source code, can better optimize Google's upstream Chromium on Windows for the benefit of Electron apps using Google's Chromium? Otherwise, porting Edge to Chromium isn't going to anything for Electron apps.
And one would be wrong. The current economy proves without high taxes, gains go to those at the top rather than the middle. The war created the demand, the taxes ensured the workers got the gains.
So MD5?
Yes, and it has been for a while.
Firefox seems scummy, trying to shove the service pocket on us. Despite firefox's recent improvements, I find chrome a better experience overall. If you want to browse without google monitoring everything, then Vivaldi seems like a great option.

Except Chrome wasn't some brand new project. It was Webkit which was KHTML and dated back to the mid 90s. They just wrote their, uh, chrome layer and js engine a half decade later which were, and still are, reaping tangible benefits.
Fair, it’d be worth doing some math on this. Let’s assume a scooter Travels distance T on a full battery (across multiple trips of course) and has efficiency TE based on the efficiency of the (presumably fossil fuel) power plant and that the person picking it up for Charging drives distance C Picking Up PU scooters with a fossil fuel engine that has CE efficiency. Of course, we need to assume that TE and CE are measured in miles/kg-of-carbon-emission. So, the full equation would look something like:

(TPU/C)(TE/CE) = Carbon Efficiency of using Lime/Bird

I’ll admit that I don’t know all the numbers to plug in here (being HN, maybe someone else does) but given that even dirty power plants have better fuel efficiency than ICEs and that chargers don’t need to drive super far to find a ton of scooters my money is on this being better than driving, carbon-wise.
