UI/UX has seemingly many times been neglected by many open source projects, especially those that are supposed to be for end users that might not be developers themselves. It's easy as a programmer to kind of guess where the functionality should be based on previous experiences (with similar but different software) when you're using it, while many end users don't really think about the patterns and gets a grimmer user experience. This is why we need more designers getting into open source design. Open source can be competitive with paid solutions, we all know it's true for everything from OSes up to CLI tools. But once you slap a UI on it, which requires end-user focus for the UX, we developers tend to drop the ball.

I've been thinking about this a lot lately, as I recently started a project where, since I'm not a designer, I'm trying to get designers onboard to help out with everything design. So far we had some people, which is nice, shows that there is willingness in designers to do open source work. Hardest so far is for me as a non-designer to understand the best workflows for designers to collaborate on design. Figma helps us a lot to collaborate, but it's just one piece of the puzzle. I'm sure there is more we can do to facilitate designers to help out with open source projects, we just have to find a "send patch / pull request" workflow that works for designers, just as we did for developers. Once we have some workflow nailed down, it can hopefully be replicated to other open source communities in order to have more designers collaborate with developers on open source.

Part of the problem is, engineers love shiny things.

Status pages are fundamentally boring things. Who wants to work on them?

It's always tempting to complicate something simple because in part "ooh shiny", and you can always find reasons to justify why. It takes some strong engineering leadership to effectively argue against complicating things, and not be just a constant pain in the arse to everyone and every thing.

The kinds of people that are that good, tend to be people that aren't going to want to do something so boring as build and maintain the infrastructure for hosting status pages.

The fact that it's an API request will make it easier to create checks. For example, they could check if the length of the messages match with the length of the encrypted ciphertext the server sent. In theory you can do with this a screenshot already, by redigitizing the content, but it's harder. Or they could check whether the received/sent/etc dates match with what the servers recorded, etc.
Like the list and your trello responsibility tasks list definitely gonna steal that. I was thinking around the same like you know every company declare annual report every year. So why I don't declare a personal annual report(PAR) on all things that I did, likes, expectations that were in the beginning of the year, what was accomplished, learnings, life lessons, things that got cancelled.... If one continues to do this consistently do this there won't be many only a few like 35-50 PARs per person depending life expectancy but would be a great collection. The questions in your site can really help my stuff, I hope I can start on this idea.

Amazingly similar. I think it is better. Notice how the player that chases him does not slow the pace, but pushes on until he makes a failed attempt to break the play. Speed seems faster too. A good illustration of evolution of the game. Of course, we don't know if Maradona would still have scored with more effort from the English defense, maybe he would. In any case, two great goals.
I've got a friend who's a nurse in a local hospital. She's in the OB ward but has a half dozen patients on her floor with Covid. She says at least half is on antianxiety meds (xanax); she just got a talking-to from her doc who refused to refill her prescription. Apparently, the first bottle is available for anyone with the connections, but after that they start talking about addiction and asking questions.

They are offering extra pay; they are understaffed with positions open for RNs at $50/hr plus a 30% bonus (not sure why that's not just $65).

About 40% of the staff has or has had COVID.
Thanks for this. My Lambda@Edge function was not working and I thought I broke something my permissions even though I had not touched that for atleast a month. This is the very "helpful" error message

The Lambda function associated with the CloudFront distribution is invalid or doesn't have the required permissions. We can't connect to the server for this app or website at this time. There might be too much traffic or a configuration error. Try again later, or contact the app or website owner.
If you provide content to customers through CloudFront, you can find steps to troubleshoot and help prevent this error by reviewing the CloudFront documentation.
The UK advice on securing your email is really good.

However, I wish they went further to have none of this vague GCHQ cyber security nonsense but laws with teeth and a clued up police force so that the UK was a very attractive place to do business. If the UK was the best place to host your stuff because hackers got themselves prosecuted instead of let off then this would be a good thing.

This could also cut both ways so that if you didn't have things like DMARC for email then they would close you down.

I know this would not be for everyone but you could always host elsewhere. The internet could go the way of shipping where a 'Liberia' domain meant you didn't care whereas a '.co.uk' flag on the internet 'seas' meant you were afforded the protection of the 'Royal cyber force'.
I actually don't think Heroku has changed much at all since they were bought by Salesforce. That's partially a good thing (Salesforce isn't making them worse) but also a bad thing because Salesforce doesn't seem to be making them any better either. Pricing is the biggest thing, despite running on AWS and AWS prices dropping pretty steadily but Heroku's pricing seems to have held firm. Their offerings don't seem to have changed much over the years either, you don't hear about them in the news much, you don't hear a lot of customer stories or companies talking about using Heroku... it just seems stagnant, which in the world of cloud computing is not great.

It's hard to tell if Salesforce has been a positive for Heroku for keeping it alive, or a negative for mismanaging the company, since we don't know what they would have done if they stayed independent and had to actually compete. But I'm pretty sure if they were still independent and had to compete in the market with only the features they have right now, they would likely be out of business. There's very little reason to choose Heroku these days, and I say that as someone who has code running in production on Heroku's platform.

I know regex and I hate writing it. It's unreadable and I need to spend time remembering/googling/checking the exact syntax. And, of course, the syntax differs from implementation to implementation in subtle but important ways (ie: need to double escape in python, etc.).

The FCC releases most of the Auction information to the public here: https://www.fcc.gov/auctions

I don't know if this specific auction is listed, but on the whole the auctions are generally the same. There are two types of Auctions: Simultaneous Multi Round (SMR) and Clock. The rules vary between those two Auctions significantly. SMR auctions are an older model, and clock auctions are more common in recent years, though SMR auctions are not completely dead.

What do you think nurses do?
I'll do it. Lots of the things they can do can be outsourced to a cheaper less-trained individual. I know because the sleep deprivation means half of them are working at the capacity of a drunk version of me. The number of mistakes surgical assistants make that surgeons have to watch out for is quite something. Veteran surgeons like my parents have top notch surgical teams they've cultivated over time. But most surgeries aren't performed by veterans.

American society is unable to use versatile individuals because it is advanced: sophisticated power structures have powerful propaganda arms that block efficient utilization.

Many things in life have transferable skills. Big parts about being a Registered Nurse are just being meticulous and memorizing large quantities of information: both things people like me are exceptional at.

And my tolerance for risk is high. I'd smokejump if you needed me, I'd work on COVID patients if you needed me. With my own PPE if you so desire. But you won't. Because let's be honest, there are those who want to preserve the order for their own reasons, those who want to live in interesting times, and those who fear change.
> I imagine that the API-based uploads of the recent decrypts from the user being reported can also be faked, so I'm not sure that this is a very important distinction.

That assumes that the decrypted messages aren't signed (e.g. via HMAC), no?
Fair, and we could spend ages listing all the different kinds of people who have really specific job descriptions that require them to have traditional, stationary workstations. And then we could follow that up with lists of all the reasons why they need to be running Windows or Linux on said workstations, and couldn't choose comparable Apple hardware even if it were available.

But I don't think that we need to beat a dead horse like that. The more interesting one would be to figure out some interesting and non-trivially-sized cross-section of people who both need a workstation-class computer, and have the option of even considering using OS X for the purpose.

You are in fact make a generalization and thats fair here. But I must so you are little incorrect here. You have clearly not seen how world lies, how society lies. So let me explain it to you.

First when you grow you drink mom's milk and you are under impression drinking milk is good for health which indeed is. So people start consuming milk everywhere.

And there are advertisements which shows happy cows, chocolates made from milk. Vegetarians are under impression that its ethical. And many farmers advertises as if their cows are happy they are grass fed etc. In some religion they even worship cows etc giving impression that cows are respected etc.

And the other thing you often hear is cows babies get enough milk and farmers only sell excess milk. So from religion, society people are brain washed so much they don't even see how animals are tortured, left on road after buffalo/cows stops giving milk.

I wish media would cover this subject more especially in India which is probably top 3 vegetarian country in the world.
HN users are generally well compensated and largely disconnected from the trials and tribulations of many healthcare workers and normal people. Tech is a bubble in many ways.

The disconnect between tech, tech salaries and "how the other half lives" has always shocked me. People who have never worked in a restaurant legitimately questioning why waiters need to make a living wage and why they don't just join a coding bootcamp.
If it wasn't CBP it would be another player. The problem is the IRS should not have this power.
To be absolutely pedantic including the password in the signup email doesn't mean that they are storing it in plain text as they could have just generated the email then thrown away the password.

However I would bet that frequently they do, frequently the emails are logged for a substantial period of time and it isn't a best practice anyways.

No. WhatsApp does not keep delivered messages, and, by default, messages are end-to-end encrypted and cannot be read by WhatsApp.[1] As shown in the screenshots of the reporting feature in the article, reporting causes your phone to send (forward) the relevant messages from your phone to WhatsApp as part of the report. For reporting a user or business, the relevant messages are "most recent messages" from the user/business. For reporting a group, the relevant messages are "most recent messages" in the group.

This feature does not change the privacy story for WhatsApp in any way. You already trust users you are chatting with to not copy or screenshot private messages and share them. You already trust the app to not forward or store your messages without your consent.

Looking forward to when salesforce gets acquired by an even bigger company.

It'll be so cool when literally everything I do in life is basically owned by one company. Get paid in company scrip, buy food at the company store, live in company housing, talk to my family and coworkers over the company intercom, genuflect to the picture of the CEO in the mornings and before bed.
No. It's fairly clear. I just didn't read past the "2 active domains" part of the pricing. I'll edit my post and I will actually give it another try.

The "plants have senses rebuttal" as you put it is only an illustration that exposes the absurdity of the whole attachment of ethics to consumption of any form in and of itself.

The only logical endpoint is that humans should just off themselves so we don't participate past one cycle of reabsorption into the Earth's environment.

One way or another, everything is going to die and be consumed by another living organism.

That's why it's absurd. You can arbitrarily pick your own resolution, but it's only arbitrary until you exit the cycle completely.
Vegans obviously consume animals. We are all inhabited by by and, through circumstance, kill and consume countless microscopic animals, such as mites.

Assuming whatsapp uses the same message franking mechanism Facebook's encrypted chats use, no. Ciphertexts are authenticated so that the contents of them can be verified using a key held on Facebooks servers (and crucially that key allows you to forge those transcripts, so someone can't use the stolen key to publicly confirm the contents of someone's messages as with DKIM).

Interesting, thanks for sharing. This idea of working in a completely different industry for a while is one of the things I'm thinking about. Might be more fun than aimlessly wandering :)
I tried one-time payments with NotePlan 2, it's not a business model that enables you to grow nor plan anything in advance. That's neither good for the developer, nor the user. Except you don't want any updates, no bug fixes, no improvements, no new features.
"The main difference is that this time around there are people who are claiming that Apple is using the OCSP checks for some kind of nefarious tracking purposes."

If their industry didn't artificially restrict the supply of labor to keep their wages sky high, they wouldn't be so overworked now that more is required of them. My sympathy is nonexistent; they've made out like bandits for years and now they're paying the price for that (unfortunately, that's a price that must be paid by the rest of us too.) I hope they begin to take this as a wakeup call.

To the downvoters, let me ask you this: how many Americans have been driven into medical bankruptcy while their doctors are living in multi-million dollar McMansions? The system in America is the way doctors have designed it. They have outsized political power; legislators heed their lobbyists. They created and perpetuated this system so they could profit from it. They have been hoisted by their own petard.
This is fascinating to hear.

Sometimes with Jira updates, I have to ask myself “What WERE they thinking?” It’s good to hear that actually some people (well, at least one!) inside the org ask this too.
FreeBSD feels more difficult to use in this sense even compared to Net/OpenBSD. While some of this configuring is strictly unnecessary (changing the keyboard layout in xorg.conf is only relevant if you aren't using a DE with that functionality), FreeBSD seems more ... finicky with GPU drivers and their DRM/KMS compat layer from Linux than Net/Open.

On NetBSD you can usually just "starts" and get an accelerated X session with no config, from just a "full sets" install. You usually have to install at least some extra kernel modules in FreeBSD.

Nursing is one of very few licensed professions you can do with an associates degree.

And that 2 years is PACKED with a ton of need-to-know skills. The field requires rather incredible breadth just for an entry level position. It's a very demanding program.

These are people dealing with the possibility of life and death mistakes constantly without immediate supervision so a licensure is totally appropriate.

I'm frankly bewildered at your question. It suggests extreme unfamiliarity with the required nursing skill-set.

I was a paramedic, which took me 3 full-time semesters and also required a licensure to practice. And while we had to do a few things outside of the nursing scope, we probably only really covered maybe 1/3 of the skills and knowledge that nurses need to cover in 4 semesters.

I wonder how hard it'd be to serve this data via DNS, like "dig -t TXT 0xdeadbeef.ocsp.apple.com". Then you get a nice, distributed architecture with lots of built-in cache handling, and since the data is currently served via HTTP, it wouldn't expose any more data to your ISP than already is today. It would also mean that if you have 100 people in the office and a local DNS cache, then each OCSP query would be made exactly once and then its answer shared among everyone else in the office.
