Jitsi meet is a conferencing app. You likely mean jitsi videobridge. That's the SFU part and comparable to mediasoup.

Mediasoup has a bit more modern codebase and offers a rather low-level framework to build your own SFU. Whereas Jitsi videobridge is more of a ready-to-go SFU, but less flexible.

Mediasoup has very good node bindings, which may or may not be an advantage to you.

They offer similar (good) performance, although Mediasoup has a slight edge here. They're both very actively being kept up to date with the latest standards (in contrast with Kurento which is now as good as dead after Twilio bought the team). This is very important since both the spec and browser implementations are a fast moving target.

Disadvantage of mediasoup is that it is mainly maintained by just 1 or 2 persons and not yet used as much as Jitsi, so it's a bit of a gamble to start building your product on top of that.
FBI: ProLock ransomware gains access to victim networks via Qakbot infections
Cannot speak for everyone, but the builds of my team are heavily parallelized, and we aren't even running a monorepo. For any non-trivial project that has its own somewhat complex build pipeline with many internal dependencies and such, it is pretty much a given.

The only scenario I can foresee where people wouldn't be doing parallel builds is if they are just working on their personal side project with no other people involved, where the need for parallel builds is non-existent either way. You don't want to have one giant monolith project for your whole complex web app, it becomes a nightmare very quickly.
Disclaimer: I'm not really an Android developer. I was considering implementing a service I'm working on for Android and after many hours of research determined it's not a suitable operating system for my purposes.

Personally I no longer consider Android a viable computing platform. As a developer you simply don't have the tools available to give your users control over their data and experience. With the changes to storage security the last couple years, they've essentially dumbed it down to the level of a web browser, and in the process pretty much deprecated running native (C, C++, Rust, Golang, etc) applications.

I'm not opposed to improving security, but when you can't even run software like syncthing or a file explorer without getting special Play store approval, something is wrong.

I've been meaning to write a blog post summarizing what I learned.

This official video is actually a pretty good summary of some the changes made and what the goal is:

I have no stake in this, but here are my points of opposition to that linkedin article:

1. don't need GPS permissions for location data (IP address is still valuable intelligence especially if I'm spear phishing my target(s))

2. the claim that the app is outdated and doesn't use the internet misses the point (I would add emphasis if I could)

re 2: what crowdstrike describes is an effort to get people to download a fake version of the same app, which has added features/tracking.

note the disparity in quotes:

Linked Quote (link is broken, but from Crowdstrike CEO): Russian hackers … tricked Ukrainian servicemen into downloading a contaminated version of the software - https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/12/22/russia-linked-dn...

Poster: Crowdstrike claimed that the GRU identified a targeting app, wrote malware for it, and used the compromised apps to geolocate and bomb their artillery.

See - this is not what's being said, we're mincing words. The attack, as I understand it, is they found an app they knew their target used. Made a fake version, and spear phished people (let's say, all new recruits) into downloading their malware version. What happens after that is wide open. GPS, location, network connection, anything, we can't say (probably Crowdstrike can) so the Ukranian soldier who made the app saying his version wasn't compromised is totally besides the point.
Most of my time on it these days is supporting others, or using my aging 2014 MBA. What I remember is I started to get more locked down with each update. Personally I would prefer an "expert" mode in preferences or something of the sort.

But yeah, I made a rash judgement on something I don't often use. I owned up to it.

Anyway, for what it's worth the only reference to that command online is from Apple discussion boards or third party sites. There's no documentation from Apple themselves. For PowerShell, Microsoft has this type of policy well-documented:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft...

They also link to this documentation directly within the error message:

That's not how this works. The glitch is that there's a particular menu-item mispriced by Doordash. You can't just order arbitrary things at arbitrary prices, and when the restaurant takes an order for X and delivers Y, it's taking a step towards making a material false statement to obtain something of value.
ICO Issues Covid-19 Guidance for Employers
Jitsi is a full application (web app, backend servers) with a specific use case: meetings (similar to Zoom or Google Meet).

mediasouop is not an application but a set of server and client low level libraries to build whichever kind of audio/video applications (not just meetings). You don't "install mediasoup and configure it". You create your Node app and integrate mediasoup as you do with any other NPM dependency. Same in client side. More here:

https://mediasoup.org/documentation/overview/

Of course, this means that you must build your application, including UI, client-server signaling, etc etc.
Well you don’t get VC money because you want to give people jobs, so yes.

I wonder if that name is also blocked from HN. According to google there is only one hit besides this comment section.
All true, but I was surprised I never saw a guy selling bulk rolls of TP in the parking lot (or I guess never heard how to buy it on the internet via eBay). I'm sure it existed somewhere, but it wasn't prominent enough to supply my brother and his roommates when they ran out.

> Your explanation seems to assign non-physical magical properties to 'own state' observation

What magical properties are you talking about? You would need to study electronics and programming to understand what "observation", "states" and "recursion" means, all of those are real concepts.
Snowden blew the whistle on legitimate information - the other guy did not & that outcome was upheld in court.

Hard to see how you could miss such an important distinction between the two unless you had some other motive.

Man, it sounds like it was in development hell. I wish we could get somebody to talk about what it was like developing the 64DD and what problems they ran into. Probably won't ever happen, but I can dream.
Hi Torkel,
Just finished watching the GrafanaCon 7.0 Release talk. There are some great Usability improvements and new functionality which will be definitely useful for my upcoming project.

Thanks for the great work!
The basic principle is not leftist I suppose but the extent to which you believe this is a pathology of capitalism and how damning it is of international institutions like the world bank can be.

you should productize this idea. I would use it.

It's a bit hassle to print to PDF every time, but if the barrier is low enough, it would be useful.
> Now they've added some mojo to prevent this but still sell location data.

Strava publish a "heat map" that shows aggregated activity of all their users. It's useful for finding common running/biking routes in areas you don't know well. That's how the military bases were found.

https://www.strava.com/heatmap#7.00/-120.90000/38.36000/hot/...

EDIT: I forgot that Strava do sell heatmap data to government transportation departments and such so I fixed the comment.
You can, but it's surprisingly hard to do so. There is the Asus Pro WS X570-ACE for current AMD consumer parts, but try to find a sTRX4 one for your 4000$ cpu that doesn't look like it's going to transform into a giant robot.
I also noticed that the current Ryzen mobile 4000 series tops out at 32GB of memory supported, which sadly excludes them from even possibly being in the 2020 16” MBP since Apple’s already been selling 64GB systems. :/
lol I never praised him for making an audacious claim, I've said it's nonsensical several times.
We don't necessarily need a new internet. However, it could provide another line of "defense" against corporate interests.

If the only barrier to joining is a technical one, than anyone who wanted to could join, but the majority of people would not have interest in joining. Ideally, this would prevent AdTech from taking an interest.

As for the fact that these are primarily social issues, I agree. A social solution is going to be much longer lasting and effective then any technical solution. However, it is also much more difficult to implement.
I am curious what digital pathology libraries you are referring to (by any chance, is one of them https://www.openmicroscopy.org/bio-formats/ ?)

Also, I am sure you are aware the DICOM folks have been trying to get digital pathology pulled into the standard. I am not sure how much success they have had, but David Clunie (the current editor of the standard and a very friendly and open-minded person) had a funny set of power point slides about this topic. I recommend taking a look just for the humor:

Yeah the way the Termux team handled this was really frustrating too. They just yanked out the code and had it return an unhelpful error message.

I would have much preferred they release a "play store" version and then a full version to F-Droid or something.
Plenty of other people will recruit him. The guy has worked as a front-end engineer at Uber and Tesla.

Just fill out the LinkedIn profile - bullet points under the Uber section. Link to GitHub if he has it, then post something on LinkedIn.

> There needed to be a central registry before smartphones would be adopted by the average person

This is revisionist. The iPod/iPhone originally didn't even have third party apps and it caught on anyway. Even now, 90% of the value of a smart phone is having a web browser in your pocket and most "apps" could have just as easily been web pages.

I think the only apps on my phone that can actually justify being apps instead of web pages are Signal (so it can store my conversations on my phone and not a third party service) and Firefox (because it's a web browser). Meanwhile the iOS app store won't allow Signal to be my SMS app and requires Firefox to use Apple's browser engine, so the utility it provides is strictly negative. I could have been just as happy to get Firefox from firefox.com and Signal from signal.org.

I still don't understand why Facebook is an app. Facebook is a web page. (I mean I do understand, it's because the app can hoover up more of your personal information, but why should I want that?)
Amazing work we have been experimenting with grafana at work and the experience is awesome! Thank you for the awesome project
That's one reason. Another reason is that the market isn't profitable except through economies of scale. Until you've captured the market you'll burn cash on user growth.
Yep, two active developers but being just a set of libraries it's good enough. We also get nice contributions (C++ fixes and optimizations) via PR in GitHub. And we use mediasoup in different commercial products.
That part hurt me. One of the points of things like Termux is to make use of old devices, so killing support really isn't helping.

I'm sorry.... But what did we learn from 2008? That financial sector is unaccountable or that they own the government?

Boeing was not punished severely enough, because of two things - American nationalism would prevent it from drowning(helloo rescue package ;) ) and belief that they could fix it fast enough.
But as a person holding Airbus stock for a long time, I disagree that Boeing wan't punished at all. Boeing's price dropped by 75%, while Airbus lost only 50%
Those sites also force some order or format across all projects/profiles so it is easier to dig in and find specific things if needed.
They absolutely will time them to maximize benefits. I commented on how teachers time pregnancies so their leave is adjacent to summer break.

Also pregnancies are delayed until after a pay increase, so leave pay is higher.

Is all programming not manipulating/transforming data?

Regardless, i’m interested in how the syntax actually supports this. You can build monads in any language to support chaining! I’ve found the block syntax often makes this less readable if you can’t use a method identifier—ruby doesn’t have syntax for anonymous arguments that would allow expressions like `arr.map(someFunc(“arg”, @0))`, so the resulting block is more verbose and distracts. There’s also no currying.

Certainly not to help you administer your Windows system, which is not at all what it is intended for.
Every web page I'll ever want to refer to, ever again. There are no good reasons for exceptions to this technique, imho.

If the PDF version is difficult to read - which it rarely is, by the way - all I need to do is open the PDF and use the links in the page header to go visit the site again - all the details about the page are still there in the PDF, links are still clickable, etc.

And if its really important, and I've taken the time, before moving to my PDF Archive, to verify that the site is not readable due to some layout inconsistency in the conversion to PDF (I do sometimes suspect this with the fancier laid out pages), I Print-to-PDF again after enabling Reader mode/view (Safari/Firefox): problem solved.

But really, there are very few web pages that don't survive the PDF conversion. And anyway, I mostly pipe the .PDF output through something like pdf2text for further grok/grep'ing...
I don't think it's quite the same as self-deception. The way I understood it is that it's more like alcohol: the first thing to go is your ability to judge for yourself whether your judgment is impaired.
I'm not sure what you're talking about. Crouton is different from Crostini, and it's Crostini that is the default/built-in Linux container on Chromeos (on a Pixelbook). I've been using Crostini on Chromeos since November 2018 and I've never had "the hard drive wiped" or had to rebuild the environment. I'm trying hard to recall anything that's actually been a bug. I'm sure there've been some. Mostly they've been rolling out increased features on a pretty regular basis, with few hiccups. It's not a great solution for everything, but, to me, it's been surprisingly robust and useful.

It certainly is not "a toy". The Pixelbook is a beautiful piece of hardware, but I wouldn't be using it (at least not as a contented Chromeos user) if it didn't have the built-in Linux container.

I do follow Chromeos/Crostini/Pixelbook forums somewhat online. I know I've seen some people griping about problems caused by updates. From what I can tell, a very large percent of these people are ones who were using Chromeos/Crostini with the 'dev' or 'beta' branch, so they could get new features on their device sooner. I've been on 'Stable' and have had few complaints.

With hand tracking they mean finger tracking, seeing you 'click' with your index finger and thumb. The Oculus has hand tracking today via controllers already.
I'm wondering if something can come up in the firmware that is indicative of planned obsolescence. Is hardware design enough to achieve that?
It sounds like a really good idea (in addition to images being part of this single file PDF "archive" and thus won't go missing), but the PDFs being searchable depend on how the PDF is made, no?

I printed to PDF this HN thread in Chrome (I assume that the PDF printing was done on the system level by OSX -- EDIT yes, from the file: "/Producer (macOS Version 10.15.2 \(Build 19C57\) Quartz PDFContext)"), and none of the page's strings appear as ascii or utf-8 in the document. grep is unable to find any string in that file.

Do you have a specific print to PDF setup? Or a PDF-aware grep..?

EDIT: Seeing the command-line you're using, the search you do is over the files' names, correct? The PDF/(original web page) text content is not indexed, right? Just to make sure I understand correctly.
That was an amazing talk. Thank you so much.
This is the first release to install to UFS2 (which they confusingly call FFS2) by default.
Well, the leave should be distributed exactly in the same amount by the persons responsible for the child and should be of compulsory execution by both, exactly as if you have an accident requiring hospitalisation that prevents you from doing any work. That is, taking care of a dependent until a reasonable age for daycare (which, in my opinion should be around at least 8 months) should be an obligation of the society on the well-being of an innocent dependent human being. And if people worry on the economoc side, think that people taking the responsibility of bringing up minors contribute to economic flourishing in additional spending on goods and services and in providing the payers of the debt we are putting on them to pay to sustain our current and future well-being.
Awesome tool. Supports all the datasources I need.
When the Blair Witch Project came out, my Uncle took his son and a few of his friends (Jr. High Age) out in to the woods setup a generator and a TV and they watched the movie in the woods at night.

Are we any closer to having some kind of anomaly detection in grafana (when using prometheus)?
It's unlikely that PC will ever be mass market, but when/if VR makes more in roads in productivity applications PC will be key. There is a lot of promise in art creation, game development and 3D content creation, and of course HN's traditional programmer dream of infinite terminals, but the real killer app is telepresence for remote meetings. All of those use cases need better software and hardware

Incidentally, I've been sleeping polyphasically for some time now. Of course, there have been no real studies done on polyphasic sleep and it must be taken on anecdotal evidence alone. However, I don't feel any ill effects after a year. My schedule is tamer than others, however; the Everyman 2 consists of a 4.5 hour core sleep and two 20 minute naps [0]. Schedules like Uberman (six 20 minute naps equidistant in time, every 4 hours), Dymaxion, Tesla, and other nap-only sleeps do not seem to be stable, at least for most people who are not genetically mutated to sleep less [1].

There are quite some pros as well, such as more time for one; instantly falling asleep (got rid of my insomnia); removal of substances such as alcohol, marijuana, and caffeinated drinks like coffee; and lucid dreams with nearly every sleep. The latter is very useful for me as I can test out ideas in dreams and see how they could fare, a sort of omnipotent virtual reality.

As I wrote in another comment, the fact that many think polyphasic sleep is only Uberman or other nap-based schedules with ~2 hour total sleep time is disappointing to see. There are other schedules on that site that are far tamer, such as Everyman 1: sleep 6 hours at night, one 20-min nap during the day, which you could do on a lunch break. There are whole gradations from 9 hours (two 4.5 hour sleeps, not necessarily reduction of total sleep time, but it gives better sleep for some) to Uberman or Tesla (~2 hour total sleep time), which by the way is not known to be stable over a longer time period, a fact that the polyphasic community willingly accepts.

It is particularly disappointing to see because, as another commenter said, I'd like to see more research on sleep and perhaps synthesizing its effects into a compound, but if people dismiss these alternate sleep schedules, we may not fully understand what the brain is doing during sleep, as fewer researchers are incentivized to study it, thinking it's just BS, which hurts the field overall.

I do wonder though if the main advantages of polyphasic sleep are that it enforces a more rigid structure than monophasic sleep; if you miss a nap, or you oversleep, you're done for. If one could enforce the same level of scheduling in monophasic sleep, I wonder if they wouldn't have the same advantage of increased time. It's too easy to make excuses with monophasic sleep however, saying that you'll just sleep after one more drink / turn of a game / line of code, so polyphasic sleep acts as an enforcer of such a schedule, and here is where its true strength lies.

I think it's a smart play. Standalone VR makes it incredibly more accessible. Everyone with a Quest does the same thing, they cart it around to parties and gatherings to let people experience VR and it's a blast. Even if this wasn't intentional marketing it's the best strategy for getting the word out. I'm hoping the Del Mar is a big upgrade, if it can bring better processing and better resolution to the table hopefully with a killer feature like adaptive focus and gaze tracking then I think it'll just knock it out of the park. Regardless though it's only a matter of time until all our screens are virtual.
Surely at some point the competition (assuming a lack of innovation to drive down prices) will realize THEY don't want to be the ones who lose money for years only to get unseated when they're ready to jack up prices? How many times can this cycle repeat?
