Trust is hard to gain and easy to lose.

Rationally any device you allow unisolated on your network is a potential threat. Rationally you'd be more worried about infectious malicious packages or applications the user might have unknowingly installed and active than the base system/OS itself.

Empathically people will tend to tar with a bigger brush, like banning all Windows machines of the network, or not allowing any Huawei devices etc.

While these may not be 100% rational trade-offs, there are underpinnings in some if not all of these cases that can have some merit. The US lenience with regards to surveillance and their gagging laws, same for the Chinese etc.

So once that trust is lost, you will be hard pressed to convince people otherwise. What measures if any they are willing/capable to implement in light of that lack of trust will of course be different from person to person. One person's 'extreme overreaction' is another person's 'healthy caution'. One person's 'Calculated Risk' will be another person's 'Callous Neglect'.
Sheet to audit your app for bottlenecks
German here. Big infra projects here rarely fail due to corruption. The way, way bigger issue is that in the last 30 years public service funding was drastically cut which meant that the oversight competence over projects was no longer in house. Overworked officials rubber-stamp utter bullshit because they have neither the knowledge nor the time to properly audit plans. Not just architectural or technical (hello BER fire suction system), but especially financial.

The mandate from the EU is that all kinds of stuff must be offered via tender europe-wide which is for many things a colossal waste of money and enviromental resources (e.g. a Polish company wins a tender for a construction project in Spain and now has to move all the machinery and staff through Europe and back, that's NOT sustainable!), and while government entities are allowed to judge bids by sustainability or profitability (i.e. purposefully offering an unprofitable bid in the hopes of making the profit with exploiting "change requests"), they rarely have the knowledge to do so.
If the protest which gets the media coverage for fighting police is an organised group of football hooligans run by prominent far-right activists, and there are widespread Nazi salutes, it's probably not incumbent on the media to 'some of them were good people' away the nature of the group you've joined up with.

Even the also in-attendance group of veterans which was very angry at media coverage for suggesting there might be racists descending on London acknowledged in their rush to disassociate themselves that the larger and longer lasting football hooligan protest which got into the actual fights was explicitly racist.
Probably need to move toward maximizing decentralization regardless.

Ask HN: Developers – how do you stay up to date?
Hey there!

So some background. I've started to code around 15 years ago. I've started from C and C++, learned Java. Coded many things for fun (IRC Bot, A never finished OS Kernel, a never finished graphics engine, basic 2D Game with SFML, Qt Sprite editor, Java based ICQ Clone and etc).

At some point I've switched to PHP with HTML, CSS and JS which got me my first job around 10 years ago. Since then, I consider myself a web developer - a title that on one hand feeds me and pay my bills (and I'm very grateful for that) and on the other hand - is not really that fun and or rewarding (more on that later). Around 6 years ago I've developed interest in Node.js via side project which eventually helped me to land a Node.js job and get away for the slowly dying PHP. In my spare time I continued to explore Node.js, moved to TypeScript, developed skills in FE frameworks such as React.

And recently I woke up and found myself in my early thirties, no longer the young kid with "unlimited" free time to try and explore different areas and fields (game dev, os dev, desktop applications) and having troubles to run behind all the new tech and cool stuff that keeps popping up.

And here I stand, asking my self: How do I move next? Since the field that PHP and JavaScript occupies are relatively easy to get it, eventually it will be overfilled with younger developers and in order to stay in that market, I'll need to provide extra on top of my Node.JS knowledge. And I eager to do more harder and rewarding stuff other than writing API Gateways that fetch and write data to DB.

So hence my question: What's next? How do you stay up to date? Do you continue to explore your current field of employment and staying in a small set of languages? Do you try different fields? Do you have side projects and are they related to your jobs field? Are you trying to develop in one way (i.e. Backend Engineer) or trying to be the "Jack of all trades" (i.e. Backend, Frontend, Desktop, GameDev)?
One weird thing I have noticed is that in the UK the phrase “The Germans” is often used instead of “Germany” (where it’s grammatically valid, of course) for some reason. It’s really noticeable if you watch British TV coverage of the World Cup or European Championships.

Don’t know if the OP is British or living there, but it’s possible that this is what’s happening and they don’t mean “all Germans ...” and just mean “The appropriate body in Germany the country ...

There always will be a developer, it might be some business person instead of dev but that will be an owner of some app. You don't want to create new application each time. Most of applications are there to be maintained.

You hire new accountant and what he does just throw away all records and build his own app from scratch?

Someone will create that honeycode thing and then he will be responsible for changes in that application.

In the end you have a maintainer on that app and lots will get lost in communication with him.

On the other hand you might have one off apps that are needed for specific task, but that is what excel is for. Reading about honeycode I see it is not about throwaway one off apps. So there will be someone who is "developer" who has to know details of honeycode and application he maintains and bunch of people with requests who don't bother learning what that honeycode thing is.

You can put -ism at the end of any word. In most cases it will just demonstrate an agenda-driven dichotomy. Criticizing a culture of critique requires a culture of critique. So no, HN does not have a problem here and the OP is not whining. This is the system working as intended.

Surprising: Causes of Poverty
I'm making this same journey (I'm on video 5), and I'm making some notes for each video in Roam and teaching/learning each video every week via Google Meet on Bristol's Clojure Meetup

I recommend using clj-kondo to catch the kinds of silly mistakes a type system is usually good for, yesterday we discovered that the react component interop is really good, we decided to try using https://chakra-ui.com/ over semantic ui and it's really straight forward to use React components that have no awareness of Fulcro or CLJS

I think in terms of hand holding Fulcro does a really good job once you get into the weeds because it has an opinion and documentation for many problems, if you want to join us we're #bristol-clojurians on slack

Interesting way to browse, some suggestions

- some visual hierarchy would be good, right now it's quite hard to read at a glance. Some quick CSS overrides, a bit buggy but you get the idea - https://imgur.com/ztmCSNQ - you probably don't also need all the extra info, the headline and number of upvotes/comments most interesting

- I think most of the time you're not interested in jobs or some of the other columns, would be nice to turn them off or add other ones you are interested in (like let's say all recent posts/comments from users XYZ)

-it would be nice to have a preview of the comments without opening the post

[Translated from German]
Christian Schwarz-Schilling had been Post Minister under Helmut Kohl since 1982 and launched the German mobile phone network at the end of the 1980s. His political understanding of infrastructure can be seen in a disturbing fact: Until a few hours (!) before he was sworn in as Post Minister - Schwarz-Schilling was involved in a copper cable company. He sold his shares to Nixdorf. The company was then "one of the most important newcomers in the cable business". Contrary to most expert advice, Schwarz-Schilling pushed the extensive investment in copper cable instead of fibre optics during his term of office, in other words: politically, he acted entirely in the interests of the buyer of his shares. In any case, exactly 30 years ago, SPIEGEL called the mobile phone licensing for which Schwarz-Schilling was responsible "a festival of lobbyists".

The fact that nobody got jailed for this obvious corruption is staggering to me and German politicians dare lecture Southern Europe on corruption.

a. Sometimes there isn't time to craft the perfectly non-offensive message. You need to be able to freely communicate, or the hesitation can easily cost someone their life.

b. I'm sure there are people who would be offended by the term you used too. If everything is potentially offense, then at a certain point it becomes very hard to say anything, even if you're trying to stop slavery.

I was surprised they didn't mention that after clicking 'Leave Meeting', a popup comes up with a 'Leave Meeting' button in it, that actually leaves the meeting. This inevitably means in every single Zoom meeting that everyone says goodbye and then spends a few awkward seconds actually leaving the meeting.
Not always. The second iPad was supported far longer than the first. IOS 9 vs IOS 5.
> There's nothing illogical about describing as racist a group of people who make Nazi salutes, who attack black people, who spray racist graffiti.

However that's not what you were doing; you were stating the point that being with a group doing x means you will labelled as x.

> If you're in a large group, and many members of that group are by any definition racist, you're going to be called part of a racist group.

Now whether you meant that that is a case of will be vs should was not covered but that was what the original point was.

The new point about framing would be in relation to the original point made where all in the protest centred around protection of the statues were labelled racist for doing so by major news organisations.
At a guess there's at least two frustrations made in that that I can immediately think of

1) the lack of nuance from the papers (probably a hopeless ask given the way media operates in general for any story they handle but something worth discussing)

And 2) the hypocrisy displayed. We've seen the recent riots described as "mostly peaceful protests" time after time when a simple look at the stories and videos coming out show anything but yet the difference in the media descriptions of the two is pretty glaring would you agree?

"Differences in traits" doesn't mean "incapable". You know what happens if you take a whole population and deprive them of adequate calcium and protein in their early years? You get a "difference in traits" as to their height. Damore made no Essentialist claims about race or gender. He was just trying to be helpful in explaining an observed phenomenon at one causal level back.
He literally had a list of suggestions for increasing the number of women in tech.

Much of the thrust of his essay was a critique of the methods being used to increase diversity, not of the goal or the feasibility of achieving the goal.

It was a technical critique. This method won’t work, kind of critique.

For that use case, it makes sense for an app to read the clipboard when it's in the Foreground.

I often find that the usual so-called defenders of free speech do not hesitate for one moment with that libel charge whenever they encounter an opinion they happen to disagree with.
This page seems to think underground market is a synonym for black market:

https://www.thefreedictionary.com/Underground+market

Wikipedia also uses the phrase "underground market" seemingly interchangeably with "black market":

> Even when the underground market offers lower prices, consumers still have an incentive to buy on the legal market when possible, because:

But you could also just say "illegal market" or just "slave market".
We had millions of dollars of Cisco/Tandberg hardware in our offices. They worked OK (Telepresence was actually quite good, but $$$$).

We trialed every viable competitor in the space that we could find. Blue Jeans and High Five were finalists and I can’t remember which one we were close to settling for. Then a large snowstorm had us working at home for a few days and the experience of just trying to have a small leadership team meeting was miserable.

We paused and trialed zoom. This was probably 2015 or so. It was immediately clear that the audio on zoom was superior. It still is, IMO. (I do about 2% Chime meetings; the audio processing there is an utter joke compared to Zoom, IMO.)

If you can make the core feature of audio work and make on-boarding smooth, you can win a large part of the market, which I think is exactly what happened.
This is why we use it.

Slack video chat is fine for most people in the US but having people international causss problems for slower connections.

Zoom just works.

Also, they actually respond to support requests when there was an issue with their linux build in the arch user repos they went out of their way to debug and resolve the problem.

This is soo much better contrasted agaisnt e.g. slacks response to a similar query, paraphrasing: hur just use the web client.
Finally someone tackles the real issue here. You can't trust proprietary software, no matter which country or company is behind it. Aim for free software instead of putting your trust in a company's black box.
But that's not how buttons work usually. Look at the reload button in Chrome. The icon shows you what will happen if you click it. The tooltip text also shows you what will happen if you click it. The text and icon are never opposite. At least I cannot think of another app that does this.
It's on the German financial monitor to have chosen "stop short selling" instead of "let's investigate this" when allegations surfaced last year.

In this sense, it's the Germans that need to learn something. It seems there is awareness of this[0].

Hopefully others will learn from it too, anyway.

Traditionally free speech was a 1st amendment issue. In recent years, the term has been used more broadly to mean there should be no consequences of any kind for any form of speech. Consider the examples in the article:

> Universities have faced demands to rescind admissions offers for incoming students and discipline professors over disparaging remarks (such as those of a Cornell professor who faulted a protester injured by police officers in Buffalo, N.Y., for not getting out of the way).

This has nothing to do with the 1st amendment. It appears the concern of the author is that people have encouraged universities to take action.

> A controversial (and, some said, fascistic) New York Times op-ed piece by Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) fed a clamor that cost two top editors their jobs.

In this case, readers cancelled their subscriptions because the editors approved a piece that contained misleading information and lies. The editors (not the guy that wrote it) were fired.

> Philadelphia Inquirer Executive Editor Stan Wischnowski resigned under pressure — apparently for many reasons, but the proximate cause was an egregious three-word headline equating looted buildings to lost lives.

In this case, it's a free speech issue for a private business to fire someone for incompetence.

I do wish we'd return to the narrower interpretation as being a 1st amendment issue, but that's not the reality now, and it's not what the article was talking about. Free speech today refers to any negative consequences for expressing your views. I can't think of any recent cases where free speech came up and the 1st amendment was relevant.
I was talking about face ID and how apple handles the data using secure enclave.
Are there any guides on how to get started with this?
Once you start with this type of thinking, it never stops, and instead of focussing on how to save slaves from a life of misery, you're instead having meetings on which words are less offensive in your posts, messages, and internal communiques.

The amount of energy that this takes up is ENORMOUS, especially when you're dealing with something as difficult and dangerous as the slave trade. And what do you do when the new terms you've chosen all of a sudden become not acceptable?

If we agree that many types of non-threatening speech are no longer allowed, it becomes almost impossible to talk and convey ideas, especially in high-stress areas like this one.

Imagine a medic who waits to treat a homeless person who has overdosed because they can't remember the politically correct way to refer to the person, and they need to radio into the command center first before they begin treatment. So the person dies because the stressed out medic couldn't remember the politically correct terminology because they were trying to work out the best course of treatment...

Whilst I wouldn't put it that way , it does seem like the German financial regulators and investment industry have something to learn from the Wirecard problem.

When the FT and others started raising concerns about Wirecard's finances, BaFin took what I believe was an unprecedented step and sued the FT.

A better approach might have been to launch an earlier investigation into whether the allegations had any substance to them.

There also need to be lessons learned from an audit perspective. EY signed off on previous years accounts which now appear that they might have had issues...
Yes, signaling is definitely centralized, before it was done by mega-peers. P2P contact does work behind NAT if it's a cone NAT. Symmetric NAT would require that the signaling server assign a forwarding server to handle data from and to each peer. In general CGNAT applications with cone NAT, UDP hole punching can be used to communicate between peers, organized by the signaling server.
the mobile experience is beyond lacking tbh.

the "like it? spread the word" header takes about ~25% of my screen and doesnt go away until i specifically put my thumb on that and scroll down. you should at least at a 'dismiss' button to permanently hide that.

after that you're in desperate need of some navigation. put a floating button somewhere which pops up the names of each column, so you're able to quickly jump to it.

the cards itself also are in desperate need of an overhaul for mobile devices. why arent the comments | discuss | url with flex space-between for example. and why is there a line at the bottom of the card?

seems to capture the spirit of tweetdeck on desktop though, so congrats on that front!
A few days back we were playing League of Legends and due to some permissions issue the person playing on Mac couldn't use the built in voice, so we swapped to Skype for a bit.

First: fans take off.

Second: Skype lowers all volumes of all other apps without asking.

Third: some people now have a weird floating bar in screen during the game, if clicked by accident the game minimizes.

Fourth: sound quality is horrible. How can a built-in, afterthought like Voice comms in LoL be better than a program written from the ground up to do voice calls?

Fifth: after the game ends the group has 3 spammers sending them a message since they logged into Skype.

Never again.
