How do you identify potential candidates for remote hiring in your your outbound recruiting efforts?
You can opt out of Stripe.js, but then you must accept the burden of being PCI compliant (or instead chose to use a hosted Stripe flow).
I don't think there is a general answer. I have to quit coffee when I try to quit smoking (it reduces the craving and helps me to sleep at night), but I know people who have quit substituting the tobacco with huge amounts of coffee. You will have to find what works better for you. Good luck!
Whoever smokes and wouldn't mind quitting if it wasn't hard I recommend to consider the following (based on my experience and understanding, trusting me is your own risk):

1. switch 100% to vaping (try a nicotine-heavy liquid if you don't enjoy what you try initially), get rid of cigarettes. Make sure to find a flavor you enjoy and try different ones every now and then.

2. you'll find your health improving soon: vaping is not 100% safe but usually a much healthier choice than cigs because no tar, heavy metals, formaldehyde etc. I bet your doctor will tell you "good job!" once they notice the changes in your health.

3. quitting is going to be much easier than you imagine at this moment. I just stopped one day and had no problem, I even enjoyed the mildly weird feeling during 2 days (but gained a couple of extra pounds).

Perhaps this depends on the kind of the vaping liquid you use, I only tried one kind. Don't try butter/caramel-flavoured liquids or THC oils - these are dangerous.
Hangouts == WhatsApp. It's the older chat + video system. It's being split into Meet and Chat.

Meet == Zoom. It's video conferences for businesses.

Duo == FaceTime. It's video calling, with integrations into the Phone app on Android.
Wonder if Github is affected by this somehow.
Is there a good comparison of today's state of NetBSD vs. OpenBSD vs. FreeBSD? Is NetBSD still the most portable OS?
I’m confused because there are like four products now called Duo.

Although to be fair, me confusing Duo Security and Duolingo is because I use both and both have nearly the same green for logos.
By now I have only heared about (and experienced) the downsites of DRM. Are there any good arguments for it / casestudies that show any reduction in piracy?

This isn't very convincing. And until we have evidence of transmission, it's hard to say anything about the origin of the virus other than: it came from a bat and started spreading in Wuhan.

Personally, I'd guess it's more likely the Wuhan CDC[1] as opposed to the WIV.

I recommend, reading it now, it really fits the bill for someone coming back to C++ after many years.
That's definitely a question of implementation, policy, compliance, and liability. You are absolutely correct.

The law in question also requires data to be maintained in personally identifiable form. I am uncertain if a small number of mouse movements is likely to reach this. I do not see how, but that's not a reason why it cannot be so.
I couldn't tell you because my mind was not sensitized to that as I hadn't heard of it until now.
This may be the thing one would build in lockdown..
There are some nice "minimal" launchers out there that restrict you to essentially a phone, camera, and messaging app. It adds a hurdle to accessing the apps that are easy to waste time in.

While now 100% the same as this, I've found introducing some extra friction can go a long way in curbing unwanted behaviors
This might be a great product, but I'm so burnt by various Google's connectivity and social media products that I won't invest 1 minute of my time on it. Because I know it'll be matter of days before google cancels it
Personally I prefer how DDG keeps "All, Images, Videos, News, Maps" static and then shows additional tabs when relevant, e.g. "Shopping" or "Meanings".

Jumbling up the tabs on each search was one of the UI-related reasons that I gave up on GSearch years ago (outside of the occasional !g, which now usually feels like being redirected to AliExpress).
There's certainly some trade-offs that could be possible by limiting the flags and quality ranges for the output similar to what we already for h.264 and h.265 hardware encoding. Another rando possibility is FPGA cores or someone figured out how to do the calculations with GPU or TPU acceleration.
Dave really does know everyone.
While that might be true and I am happy that you're happy, this is something different. Intel has competitive products to your cpu, outright better ones, too.

* CASCADED EXTERNAL NOTES 21-Apr-2020 15:48:56 GMT From CASE: 18572279 - Event
The Transport NOC reports that one Field Operations team is set to arrive in Milwaukee, WI momentarily, and the secondary Field Operations team remains in transit to the gateway facility in Zion, IL. An ETA of 17:00 GMT remains expected.

Update: Network Operations Center reports that services are impacted by multiple fiber cuts that are impacting the CenturyLink network. Field Operations and all necessary repair personnel have arrived to the first fiber cut location and are currently working to pull in the slack on the fiber span. Approximately 3,000 feet of new fiber will be required to pulled in.

Now, I definitely am biased, being a norwegian myself. But I see people mentioning themselves being norwegians everywhere here on HN. I don’t recall seeing half as many people going around saying, «I’m a dane» or similar; this seems peculiar, Norway is small. I wonder if it actually is at it seems to me, or if I just miss these seemingly non–but—actually-not–non-existant remarks.
Yes, that's with one course. Huge variance in time per class, so you can do two courses for the same amount of time if you are strategic about your choices.

Hi, Although AA references a "higher power" and a lot of their rituals are obviously based on Protestant Christianity, there are quite a few long term members who are openly agnostic or atheist. I myself prefer the term agnostic, as although I doubt there is a God out there, I would find it pretty cool if I was wrong. Anyhow, If that is what is keeping you or a friend from trying it out, please don't let that stop you. Also feel free to contact me, email in profile.
Android needs a video calling app built into the OS. I’m tired of calling family and friends on Zoom.
>hangouts doesn't exist anymore

This is very worrying because hangouts is the only thing I use. All of my contacts use hangouts except for a few SMS, and I heard about Slack.

And this is a mostly current or ex Google crew...
Please don't quote with code blocks. Makes reading on mobile very difficult.

The quote reformatted:

> In the DDC technique, source code is compiled twice: once with a second (trusted) compiler (using the source code of the compiler’s parent), and then the compiler source code is compiled using the result of the first compilation. If the result is bit-for-bit identical with the untrusted executable, then the source code accurately represents the executable.
This test is mostly useless anyway: you need to administer it at the narrow window when you have covid for it to be effective. This implies that you have to keep it on hand, ie it can be too late to order it when you have symptoms since it can be delivered too late to detect anything. Then you have to wait for results for many days once you send it - so it’s useless for guiding your action during the time you have symptoms.

If you administer the test when you don’t have symptoms it useless as well since most likely you will miss the window.
This is really great! I love the implementation and the idea of having you actively chose to do something you feel is unproductive.

One thing that would be nice to see would be a way to track the referring site - for HN or Reddit it would be easy to go in for a minute, open a ton of tabs, then waste hours. Having the tabs count against the timer for the originating site would help
If I ran an neighborhood ISP, and the cops asked me to spy on a neighbor (for reasons they wouldn't even provide), then I'd shut down first.

If they just wanted to search _my_ stuff, sure. But if the only reason that I'm even capable of assisting the government in spying on somebody is that they are my customer, neighbor, friend, or user then I will not offer that assistance. That would be evil. Don't be evil.

The elephant in the room is Youtube, which supports only (when last I checked) TLS 1.0. My OpenSSL is configured to fail connections below 1.3, but evidently Firefox bypasses that with its own TLS.

If they support TLS at all, why not 1.3? Do they have some dodgy hack that avoids a performance cost in 1.3 that is not in 1.0? Or is it just sloth?
Agreed. I've shipped projects in ASP.Net MVC, Rails, Django, Grails, and Express, and to paraphrase Alan Kay[1], NextJS is the first javascript server-side framework worth criticizing.

I don't see how you could do that with a static site.
The only viable long-term solution to homelessness is building socialized housing with integrated mental health services. The patchwork of shelters and social programs will never work. Building socialized housing requires a lot of money, and this is what the Tax Amazon movement is trying to accomplish: https://www.taxamazon.net/sign

I ardently advocate for this and my salary isn't paid by it, because I want to live in a strong society where shelter is provided for everyone who needs it. Your vision of society is, what, to ship people off somewhere else? Out of sight out of mind, right?
Not sure why people keep saying this. Right at this moment, you can go to hangouts.google.com, start a call, and everything still works. That's not to say that it's going to be around much longer, but it still exists.

No, this isn’t really true. Look at all the people hoarding toilet paper because the price is below market equilibrium. If the price were higher, there would be less hoarding, and more people could wipe themselves.
I also get sucked in by depth first searches that never end.

And while it'd be cool to have an addon that made me check in on, you know, are you still trying to figure out that statistics problem you were looking at or are you relearning linear algebra instead...

Firefox doesn't seem to have a reading list, at least not out of the box, and I don't end up using it on Mobile Safari anyway. Having a way to 'get out' of a loop by saving it for later, and ideally have them randomly show up on the landing page I think would help me, possibly others.
Hi HN!

I wanted to thank the community for everything you‘ve taught me over the years. If you want to try the apps, but are hesitant to pay — send me an email (mention Show HN) and I’ll give you a free App Store promo code.
seconded! would love to see hn in other languages.
He's not the guy who is collecting data. He's the guy whose data is being collected. And I agree with him. True choice is not imposing this cost on everyone. Let me set it in my browser. Then I'll consent to practically everything and you can consent to nothing. And since it's set at your user agent you can synchronize that across devices easily.

If I never see another damned cookie popup I'd be thrilled.
I guess “meet” being separate makes sense but I have to say that in the Apple ecosystem “Duo” and “Hangouts” have their counterparts in the unified iMessage/FaceTime system.

Well there is this: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/ownership-of-copyright-works

I've generally interpreted it as meaning acts performed in fulfilling your role/position as an employee. So if you're essentially doing free work for your employer on your own time, at home, using your equipment, it belongs to them.

Stuff done which has nothing to do with your employment, created on your own time, with your own resources, belongs to you.

Otherwise every poem, sketch, photo, or even a letter you wrote, etc that you create would be their copyright, which is patently a nonsense unless your contract explicitly states that. It would state such if "course" it referred to the time you were their employee.

The difficulty occurs where there could be a conflict of interest between what you create privately, using your own resources, and what the company employees you to do. So don't do that. However that may be difficult for companies which have their fingers in a lot of pies.
Hangouts definitely still exists. I use it regularly. Hangouts.google.com and the Hangouts app. Maybe it will be axed soon, I don't know. But it does exist at this point.
Both, probably. The CISC certainly would have made shorter, and since it was hand-written it would probably do much better than the compilers of the day.
They're both reinventing the wheel...
Netflix Adds 15M Subscribers
Incorrect. I have the hangouts app, use hangouts in the browser under gmail, and use hangouts for video calls regularly.
Cool! One question: is it IT-only or does it have occasional non-IT articles geeky minds may be interested in? I mean neuroscience, economy etc. In fact I generally am more interested in this kind.
I think what is being mentioned is that Stripe started keeping the original transaction fees on refunds. In my opinion this is borderline fraudulent since visa/mc/amex do not keep these charges and refund them back to Stripe.
If you do some text processing, some email and generally office software, 8gb is absolutely enough. Beyond that it's not anymore. 16gb is where most people with more serious applications are happy. The cool kids have 32gb. Anybody who needs even more knows it.
It can, even to the point of inability to serve passengers demanding for an actual need. There are situations people taking public transport just because it is free and they have time. I mean, if there were a free taxi, I can hail it and pick my friends and acquittances randomly into it and drop them at random places.
Merci, je ne connaissais pas :-)
We did some meetings in VR. It definitely has some upsides, eg you can stand in a virtual circle and you get to see who people are looking at which makes at least that aspect of meetings better than video.

The big downside is the friction of getting it set up. Inevitably someone has a dead battery or their VR setup decides it absolutely needs to update drivers for the Nth time this week, and then everyone is waiting or unsure what is going on.
"as medical staff walk around the ward, the virus can be tracked all over the floor, as indicated by the 100% rate of positivity from the floor in the pharmacy, where there were no patients. Furthermore, half of the samples from the soles of the ICU medical staff shoes tested positive"

Other objects were not as high as I recalled, but computer mice in the ICU were 75%.

Your argument is that withholding source code raises the cost of attack for the NSA. They'll have to buy expensive decompilers, hire competent assembly/C programmers, it'll take longer, etc.

Seems like it would similarly be unethical for a local bakery to give the NSA a discount on cheesecake.
Some websites send sensitive or identifying data in their GET variables. I personally have analytics data on my pages I don't want to give to Stripe for no reason and definitely does not help them track fraud.
I've been using something similar but at the router level using DNS, so that it works on all devices and it is not easily circumvented. Reclaiming that wasted time is pretty nice.
Reverse for me. Small sample size though.

There's an ever decreasing chance you might get an older version, but that's less and less likely as old inventory has pretty much cycled out from amazon & newegg.
I think I got it sorted. I tried it on 6 different computers/laptops/VMs/Ubuntu/Windows and it never worked. Then I tried Chrome and after I clicked install I was presented with a picture of (I assume) you and a "Continue" button. I had never bothered to click on that before, always going straight to the extension button in the top right corner. However, if you don't press "Continue" it doesn't request the permission it needs to work.

I don't know if this is possible, but it might make sense to check that tab permission again (for example, when the user tries to block a site).

Hopefully that makes sense. Let me know if you need further clarification.
A fun example here is rust-analyzer: we implement cancellation via unwinding. This is not technically a panic, but the mechanism is the same, and it more or less is invoked every time a user types something in a file.

Worse than that. Different browsers and different platforms handle scroll bars differently. Some are hidden until hovered and some have width and some don't some only have width when hovered. It's really awful if you're trying to do something with several scrolling columns

Perhaps my movie research skills are not too good. When looking for a movie I happily take on or look past the content built to appeal to a wide audience and enjoy the parts of it I find enjoyable. This is my explanation for thinking Outbreak is a great move, and perhaps a little fun and silly. Even ridiculous. But 'bad'?

Are we saying 'want to watch a movie about a virus outbreak'means needing near documentary accuracy with some components? I look at film as a total free for all artistic/author's thing. Cristicising with that in mind seems a bit.. I'm not even sure what to say. I would say yes lazy writing where gaping hard to follow plots or oddball scenes can be difficult but even those are sort of fun if you like experimenting with alternate mindsets. 'The Room' comes to mind. Not 'Room'.

To be clear I don't know anything about how to watch movies properly... so maybe I'm messing up.

Cheers
I think they're just assuming you will pay 119USD (Plus tax and shipping) for a box because coronavirus. What you do with it after your transaction clears really isn't their concern...
It is also a basic vanilla Minecraft clone (the wording is kind of poor). If you install it you can play a basic game.

It's also in the repos of every linux distro I've tried it on (Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian), and if it isn't it builds really easily (even built on my Chromebook with both crouton and crostini).

You can also add "mods" to it that add a ton of rich features to the game. I recommend adding one at a time tho as they can make your server unstable (mods vary in quality). The minetest core is rock solid stable IME, but not all mods are.

If there's any interest, I can write a blog post about this with getting started instructions at playing and configuring. I'm not affiliated with the project, but I'm a big fan and use it at home with my kids (and a server I setup on our LAN).

How do you feel about the future of Russia (where do you live these days)?

I'm an American living in Russia. While there are many problems (politics and others), it actually "feels" freer than the West in a sense and the cities offer a higher quality of life than the USA. They are actually walkable with many affordable transit options). In my city, there is new construction of condo towers everywhere.

Taxes are lower, costs are lower and people can afford their own apartments, there's a ton of untapped human potential (highly educated intelligent people). My Russian is elementary, but from the business owners I talk to, while they complain about regulations and taxes, it seems they have fewer than the USA. Or do you think it's a lost cause?
It's $199 (+taxes).
I know nothing about the codebase and haven’t done any projects related to game engines/physics rendering, but I’ve seen a lot of games that seem to have “high level” and “low level” simulations. I’ve walked too far too quickly on older systems in open world games and have often noticed lower resolution models that are designed to be seen from far away.

Am I right in thinking that Minecraft doesn’t do that? And that everything rendered uses the same resolution models for things far away as for things close up?
