I am advocating for aDoT, which is not DoT. The "a" letter in the beginning is an important distinction and stands for (a)uthoritative and aDoT is an early rfc draft about communication between a resolver and an authoritative server.

To explain the terminology I use I can source the definitions from RFC 1034. We have "stub", "recursive", and "authoritative" resolvers. A stub resolver sits at clients because in 1987 not every computer had enough computer resources to run a recursive resolver themselves, and stub resolver talks exclusively to recursive resolvers. Recursive resolvers iterative talks to authoritative servers in order to resolve a domain name into a resource record (ip addresses, text, alias and so on), and the recursive resolver return the results to the stub resolver or the computer that host it.

As the RFC specify, there was original two reasons why a machine may want to have a stub resolver and use someone else recursive resolver. One is the above reason that stub resolvers can be used on machines that do not have the computer resources to run a resolver. The second is in order to "centralize the cache for a whole local network or
organization.". The preferred way as specified by the RFC is to do the recursive resolving on all machines, but if you want a centralized cache or have machines that do not have enough in terms of 1987 computer resources then there is a option to use a stub resolver.

DoH and DoT is technology to encrypt the traffic between the stub resolver and the recursive resolver. Neither can be used if one follow the recommendation and operate the recursive resolver yourself. DNS between recursive resolving and the authoritative server is in plain text. aDoT fixes this, allowing for encrypted traffic between the recursive resolving and authoritative server. When a client who runs its own recursive resolver can create a encrypted channel between it and the authoritative server, what we have is end-to-end encryption.

If there is a technical concept here you don't under just let me know and I can try to explain it further.

I don't really like working from home but I hate the Bay Area.

Same price as NYC but it's a boring sprawling suburb no different from Florida or Texas. Sure the mountains and weather are nice but I'm not paying rent to the trees.

So no tax or media related incentives to being in the Bay Area? You don't think it's worth more to Google to say: "Our headquarters are in SF" rather than: "Our headquarters are in podunk MT"?

I wouldn't be surprised to find out that 90% of the reason FANG companies operate in large metropolitan areas has almost nothing to do with employees and everything to do with global image.
I believe so, but the economic impact isn't well understood yet.

The UBI experiments so far have shown that it does have an inflationary effect (which causes COL to go up), and at the same time, incomes decrease as secondary earners opt for UBI instead of working. People overall are much happier, but their financial situation gets worse.
As I said to someone else, if the argument is that she should step in to ensure they have super generous severance packages, I'm in agreement. (I didn't define that above, but I'm thinking around a year, including benefits.) I'm just not on board with what seemed to be an argument for keeping them employed indefinitely.

I agree with the other reply to you, too, though -- I don't know that she "used her power to hire more people," per se. If a VC gives a tech company an infusion of capital and the tech company goes on a hiring spree, I don't think we'd really look at that as the VC using their power to hire more people, and I think that's a much better analogy. Laurene Powell Jobs didn't buy The Atlantic and install herself as an editor or publisher -- she started a social-minded investment organization that bought a majority stake in The Atlantic, and there's little indication she's involved with day-to-day affairs.
An interesting thing about Facebook comp thus far has been that their pay bands for engineering were the same across the United States assuming wherever they had an office (unlike other large companies like Microsoft and Amazon). For reference check out https://www.levels.fyi/company/Facebook/salaries/Software-En.... Pay cuts would come as a pretty hefty change to those who have already moved or relocated.

At the same time, this is now an employers market. With remote work taking stride, pay cuts feel inevitable – why would companies pay top dollar for talent they have broader access to and who are willing to accept less. We'll have to wait and see how new offers start looking come August.

> I was considering it for something recently, but got overwhelmed by the documentation on setting up a fault-tolerant production deployment, so have been avoiding it. Was this an overreaction?

In general the defaults are pretty good I think. There is a one page production deployment guide: https://www.rabbitmq.com/production-checklist.html that I followed to replace our handbuilt cluster w/ a new automated deployment, plus a few other niceties like docker logs & rmq metrics to cloudwatch and then auto clustering via autoscaling groups lookup.

I thoroughness of the docs can perhaps seem daunting, but I see it as a badge of quality and especially if you are growing it's usage organically it should "just work".
My understanding (based on http://www.hackerfactor.com/blog/index.php?/archives/833-HEI... ) is that HEIC is not built on patents while HEVC is, so HEVC is problematic to use, but HEIC isn’t.

Ask HN: With recent tech WFH announcements, will it affect local job landscape?
There were a few announcements from big tech companies like Twitter, Facebook and Shopify of moving in the direction of "digital first" and implementing a WFH model for majority of the employees. I am already seeing a lot of conversation around how this can affect pays for people deciding to move to smaller cities and people in smaller cities getting a chance to work for great companies without needing to move, hence opening up opportunities for more people.

With the future of tech work being remote, this will naturally give companies a much larger pool of tech workers, both local and international. Should we be worried about local jobs getting outsourced to countries where labour is relatively cheaper compared to US or Canada? Why and why not?

For example, Shopify has opened up a Lithuania and soon a Warsaw office. Compared to the tech salaris in US, Eastern Europe is cheaper. If you go all the way to India and Pakistan, it get's slightly more cheaper. With increased globalization, international talent quality is bound to increase. What does it mean for the local tech job market in North America then?

Go on reddit/stackoverflow and complain that Vue can't do what you want to do, but React can. Someone will give you the answer. :)
That's a fine point, but YouTube isn't restricted to the option of taking down videos. They could stop recommending these videos, and they could pull them from search results. Actually, YouTube might be a better place if new videos were unlisted by default and teams of curators were responsible for approving new channels. But then maybe someone would just build their own YouTube index and search engine.
Can we consolidate?
This doesn't sound right to me and reads like 20 people in the team trying to decide on things at the same time. I sometimes had days where it's a meeting after meeting ( I'm in management) but to be honest most of those meetings aren't necessary. Since we all moved to remote work, the number of meetings dropped by 80% and everyone is fine with it.
That support depends on installing or building native libraries (mainly libheif I think) which is not trivial or may be that something developers can't do due to security reasons, also it's different for each platform.
I don't get why people pay money to put their money in the bank. What exactly is the bank giving you these days?

Immigrants means anyone in the US that isn’t a citizen.

Legal residents would not get UBI until they become citizens.
That's right. People hear about UBI and lament how people are going to become lazy and quit working, but they don't ask themselves why some people would stop working. They don't think that maybe some jobs are not worth doing unless you are at the threat of poverty and homelessness from not working. We need to reevaluate if we want to continue this horrible system where a class of people are denigrated to working slave tier jobs with poor wages and working conditions so that the classes above them can enjoy their first world lives.

The Legitimate Interests basis for processing personal data is a qualified one, though:

>processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data, in particular where the data subject is a child.

So where there is any doubt one must test the idea that the data subject's rights outweigh one's legitimate interests.

They can’t pay you less than your worth as a remote engineer. I’ve contemplated moving back to the valley but keep getting offered nearly as much money to work remotely from Arizona. If Facebook wanted me to work for less the answer is .. no.

On the other hand if I worked for Facebook I would strongly consider taking a payout if it meant I didn’t have to work in their open floor plan from hell environment.
I really appreciate the in-depth replies on HN. Something Reddit lost ages ago. I gotta say your posts have introduced me to a lot of dark magic in the JVM that isn't really documented anywhere unless you count source code. Much appreciated!
As far as the business of reddit is concerned it provides the tech to run communities on, reddit itself doesn't manage the communities themselves (with the exception of admins stepping in to remove illegal stuff I suppose).

In your analogy reddit is the property owner or landlord of the community center, but it does not operate the community center, so volunteers are necessary.
Yeah I get that, it does take a bit of work and time to learn and get used or comfortable with this stuff which a lot of the times could be better spent building or promoting your app and then just hire someone in the future to deal with that if needed.

Being used to configure my own servers with relatively low traffic/processing needs on the cheap, I just get weirded out sometimes by the very expensive nature of these managed services like heroku, aws, etc and their "charge for every little thing" mentality.

Still, the "elastic" functionalities and auto growth features they offer are usually pretty awesome and not trivial to setup on a VPS so it's a great and worry free option in that regard.

Hope you can find the right solution for your case, good luck :)

No one has an inalienable right to any of these features, let alone to all of them in a neat package. The organizations that invest ingenuity, capital and labor to create platforms with those features do have a right to set terms on how their platforms is used.

I don't get how the solution to what is seen as corporate authoritarianism (on private property) is asking for more authoritarianism (by the government) to force persons to host content they'd rather not.
Andrew Yang's Humanity Forward organization is not the nation's government. They don't have the resources to make something universal. That's one of the reasons he ran for president, was so he could do that. The people weren't ready this time, but maybe in 4 years, when he's probably going to run again, they'll be more willing to give him a shot.

But right now he is doing what he can and working with much, much more limited resources, so it only makes sense to target people who are in immediate need because of the crisis.

There are a lot more people than even that 20,000 that are struggling right now (40 million people have lost their job since the start of the pandemic, in the US), but if he divided $5,000,000 by 40 million people, it'd only give each person 12 cents, which doesn't help any single individual enough to make any difference, while simultaneously turning into a much more of a logistical nightmare.

For example he had Sam Harris on his Yang Speaks podcast recently, and Yang said that to a certain extent he sympathizes on how long the stimulus checks are getting out to people because he's been giving money out himself and it's been difficult to pin down current addresses for the people most in need.

So what is it you're expecting him to do with that $5 million instead, that would make it more universal?
> they're so easily impressed by what it can do

Are they, though? I haven't worked with React, but I have had the misfortune of working with Angular and I was immediately struck by how useless the whole thing was - it was pure overhead, and didn't seem to actually "do" anything at all. At least with jQuery there were some cute accordion and slideshow plugins - Angular just made things slower and bigger. I asked the front-end guy who was pushing Angular so hard why we didn't just scrap the thing entirely and, after a bit of incredulous back and forth, got sort of a condescending "you'll understand how helpful it is once you've spent some more time working with it". Nope, just give me HTML/CSS/Javascript. I'm a programmer. I can program the rest.

Ask HN: Open-source projects in need of optimization work?
Are any of you working on open source projects that need more developers to put time and effort into performance engineering? I want to find ways to apply myself and practice my skills in profiling, benchmarking and optimizing code. I would also welcome opportunities to help develop parallel or vector-ized implementations of code that needs it.
I used to get upset with untruths being published. But then I found that humans are evolving and it is an individual evolution, not really a herd evolution, and each individual must learn to discern what is true and what is false. It is Life Course 110. Imagine what wimps humans would be if everything were sanitized, there were no challenges. How would the human race grow strong? Challenges are there to make you strong, one not easily manipulated by Youtube, governments, religions, "experts" and so on. So stay awake, and see if you are being manipulated. Would Life be useful if it didn't challenge you? A certain amount of life's challenges are a blessing, too many challenges...well we don't want that.
This question is radioactive right now, but it's starting to look possible that this is true (or at least that the effect is a lot smaller than supposed).

Worth noting that the relative alternative is "asking people to socially distance, wear masks in some contexts, perhaps contact tracing, etc". It's not "don't worry, be happy".

Also worth noting that lockdown is not "free", in terms of human death and misery. We know it will itself cause a lot of this.
Fair, fair.
the light is the noun that acts to reveal the feat.

the dust is the noun that acts to reveal riders.

the air is the noun that acts to reveal devastation.

the spark is the noun that acts to reveal the spectrum.

In none of those examples were the feet, rider, devastation or spectrum the nouns that the verb reveal refers to as acting.

Reveal can be used as a verb, but in the title in question, the noun is Dead Sea Scrolls not "the Professor, the investigation, or the scanner" that did the revealing. The Dead Sea Scrolls did not act on their own to reveal something, they were acted upon.

This is not a VAT anymore. Why do UBI specialists sidestepped how this gets funded? What is there to hide?
Yeah, I don't necessarily think the meetings thing is something everyone's experiencing. For my team, the challenge is that the projects we are working on at the moment do span multiple teams, so it's kind of the worst time to have to coordinate remotely. We previously were considering flying people down to meet in person and work together for a week to get up to speed on things (i.e. high bandwidth communication).

That works right up until the content-creator community or HN or Reddit riots about "the algorithm".
I'm not too sure if true neutrality is not the best answer after all. I think these bans are detracting from the real problem, which is that it's Youtube's system for promoting content that is causing problems, not the content on Youtube itself. Youtube has made itself too important a platform to be left in charge of deciding what content people should watch.

Frankly I would feel much more at ease if we could all decide that Youtube doesn't get to decide what content should be deleted, provided they also can't keep recommending videos. Let me explain.

By recommending videos youtube has a huge amount of influence on what content is promoted and what content isn't. However youtube's bottom-line isn't to recommend good content (despite what they claim it is) but it is to maximize ad revenue, which means they need to make people watch as many videos as possible. Superficially this would seem like it should drive Youtube to recommend good content, but it's beginning to look like it is biased towards addictive content, which has questionable quality at best, but might veer towards harmful conspirational theories at worst. It's a classic example of value drift, Youtube has turned into a paperclip maximizer that is beginning to harm humans to produce more paperclips.
Backend dev here. It's exactly as you said. Now I can easily write complex fronted with React. But the real revolution is yet to come. WASM is behind the corner.
