Ask HN: Code signing an app on Windows. Which EV cert provider do you recommend?
It seems I'd need to spend ~$400-$500 per year.

If the price range is under $500, I'd prefer to support a smaller player.

Which EV cert provider would you recommend?

Thank you!
See that's the thing, it's not that simple. The ruling party which controlled the parliament for a few years is corrupt. The president, who was democratically elected by the majority of the people, used the constitution to suspend said parliament, with the support of the people. It's definitely an unorthodox move but it relates to one of democracy's limitations; what could be done when an elected party represents its own interests and not the people's?

Hi how do you guys create backlinks?
My idea would be to keep separate wokspaces for each project, either digital (separate user accounts on the same computer) or physical (two separate desks for two projects).

> Sometimes I think I simply shouldn't undertake more than one big project a time

... but maybe this _is_ the take-away.
> They're free to return home at any time, they abused this visa system and are now expecting to be rewarded for it.

The system allows them to apply for permanent residency while on H1B and stay indefinitely while the application is pending. How is doing what the system specifically allows abusing the system? If this was actually intended as a 3-6 year visa program, you wouldn't be allowed to apply for permanent residency and stay indefinitely.

That the backlog is so long that it's essentially impossible to know if you'll be able to get permanent residency for you and your children before they become old enough that they can no longer stay because of your status is kind of crazy. It depends on how many people die or otherwise abandon their applications before you (if there's a deep enough recession and you can keep your job, you might shave a lot of years off the wait). It doesn't make a lot of sense to me that if your parents applied for permanent residency when you were 5 and it took 15 years, you'll have status, but if it takes 16 years (i think the actual relevant age is 21, but adjust in case it's 18), you won't. There really should be some transfer of status to these children, at least if they've been in the process for at least 5 years.

One set of my grand parents immigrated here in the mid 1900s, but it was easier then, you showed up at Ellis/Angel Island and weren't in an excluded group and that was it. There wasn't a decade+ long wait if you happen to come from a country with lots of people who want to be here. For many of the family residencies, if you were born in Mexico, current priority dates are from the 1990s. I can't imagine asking a sibling to move to be closer to me and them saying OK, I'll move in 25 years or so.
100% agree if the media hand't whipped this up no-one would've noticed.
I personally don't see this as a problem. If you cannot afford to pay for the workers you need then something is wrong with your business model and you need to fix it or the community (read:voters) need to deal with not having your service. In the case of a rural hospital it's a combination of several things within the US healthcare system being completely messed up, but shoving H-1B workers in to plaster over the problems is not the solution we need.
> Ever wonder why the H1B says “temporary” status on paper, and you have to pretend like you plan to go back home at some point? (“Dual intent?”)

As I understand it the "dual intent" means you don't have to pretend you plan to go back home at some point. After I switched to an O-1 from an H-1B for a new job I was advised not to leave the country while my green card application was in progress because applying for a green card could potentially be grounds for denying entry at the border on a visa like the O-1 without the dual intent.
> Dendrite is their own project. Conduit is the project of another guy they don't get on with it.

Seems you've mixed something up. Dendrite is a matrix.org project, just like Synapse. Conduit is written by Timo Kösters who is currently employed by Famedly and is on good terms with both matrix.org and Element staff. They frequently cooperate.

My team landed on a process of breaking projects down into milestones and then tasks and being consistent with buffers for both internal and external parties.

As a side project, I actually built a tool to help with this: "Calculeeto" (http://calculeeto.herokuapp.com/). Besides walking you through the process of breaking down your project and adding buffer, it also has features to assign dependencies and generate a schedule based on number of teammates -- it even adds time for communication overhead: http://calculeeto.herokuapp.com/?debug4

It seems to me that is is impossible, unless you argue that if I repair my device and Apple disables some features with DRM is just "hard" and is my fault I can't make the impossible and bypass the DRM.
Can confirm. I'm joined into Matrix HQ from a not-very-powerful VPS and a recent Synapse uses about 700M RAM and otherwise has no trouble handling it at all.
The goal of a romanization isn't always to represent the pronunciation in English. They may have other goals, like a one-to-one mapping of letters between alphabets or something. English doesn't pronounce 'q' like 'ch' or 'c' like 'ts' but that's more or less what they represent in pinyin.

So I agree you are right about the pronunciation. I just don't think the article claimed they were spelling it phonetically for English.

We'll see post-covid, the push towards remote among line level workers is very strong, but the most "diffuse" possibility I see is that each region ends up with its own tech hub. Denver, Austin, New York, etc. There is very little chance that these will ever fully replace SV though, but they let tech hire people who would refuse to move to SV.

in my experience this is not true for most european manufacturers. (no clue about american ones).

No. Apple absolutely does not want to have "App Store case law". They want the rules to be what the agreement says and no more.

In fact, trying to cite other approvals in an argument in App Review is usually a good way to get other developers' apps pulled.

> for sure, you can build a custom UI that is inaccessible

Provide a non custom UI alongside the custom one. Use tabs to offer ‘graphical’ and ‘list’ views.

The comment I replied to said this:

> In theory, yes, but in practice it's probably a very bad experience unless actively worked on

It’s also not even clear that the UI they described was that bad for blind people.

The voiceover information is relevant to making a selection, and the blind person can’t see that data so it needs to be read to them at some point. Of course it’s not as easy to use as if you can see it. They describe a search function, and I propose a plain list, but there isn’t a lot of evidence that either would require less interaction.

Or better yet: figure out the average dot, replicate it all over the image, and run its Fourier transform. I think that subtracting it from the original image Fourier transform and then inverse transforming the result should also work.

You're correct in general, but not in this specific instance. If you followed the said thread, you'd have encountered the disbelief that Apple stores health data unencrypted on the iPhone, despite FIPS certification for the watch. Every 0-day, as it stands today, can result in access to health data, until Apple adopts defense in depth.

In theory it should be possible to use the Linux kernel and create an OS that doesn't resemble Linux distros like Ubuntu. You could strip out systemd and put in a custom init system that doesn't conform to the typical Unix daemon startup expectations. You could write your own X11/wayland-like display server thing (like Android does). You could replace BASH with some other terminal (even something like PowerShell).

Some things are baked into the kernel and are tricky to work around. Like the execute bit. If you wanted to make a Linux distro that can run arbitrary binaries downloaded from the internet (like Windows) you'll have to contend with the kernel refusing to execute a binary that doesn't have the x bit set at the filesystem level. (Can you even execute files from fat32 or NTFS? Hmmm...)

Another example is the Unix file system layout. If you wanted to show the user a DOS-style drive-based layout (I.E. no /mnt or /bin or /etc, but instead C:\ and D:\) then you have to fork GTK and GNOME to know how to obfuscate the file system like that.
This is the issue I was hoping the Epic case would solve. They all missed the plot though, so we're stuck with this bullshit.
Making a desktop is generally difficult and mysterious.

JetBrains is (or was) based on NetBeans, which is written in Java.

I'm not familiar with Visual Studio, but it's likely written in C++.

In many apps that you use today, a lot of UIs are custom-made (i.e. written in C++ to draw graphics directly).

If you look to get started, there are a few paths you can take:

1. If you are on Mac, use XCode + Objective-C

2. Use a UI framework like Qt

3. Use Electron. Easier option. Auto-layout provided by html+CSS is a godsend.

Does constraint really breed freedom? It seems obviously true but has there been any studies on this subject?
The reason it is so strange is that it has different data for the men and women, they used among other things the military intelligence test which only men takes and income to measure competence. Income is definitely not a fair competence measure between men and women so you can't use that either, so it makes sense that they didn't compare competence directly.

So I am pretty sure that graph assumed that men and women had the same competence before, as the measures they had weren't comparable at all between the groups.
It looks really cool so thanks for all your work on this! I'll give it a shot.
I'm not sure I agree with that. There's a lot of different values provided by 2FA which this preserves:

- secrets are not static, unlike passwords, reducing risks from logging/monitoring code or certain types of keyloggers (especially hardware keyloggers)

- secrets cannot be human-generated and are known to be high-entropy (password managers can also effectively ensure this)

- secrets cannot be shared across multiple websites (password managers can also effectively ensure this)

- you can revoke access to someone's future ability to authenticate without having to change passwords

Depending on exactly how you choose to implement it (namely, how you choose to set up Slack logins/SSO), you might also get

- login effectively requires attestation of identity that are independent of "knows a secret," such as "has a certain physical object" or "is coming in from a particular network" or "passes certain behavior checks/hueristics"

You don't get

- long-term secrets cannot be stolen by malware because they are fixed in a physical object

- the 2FA mechanism is capable of authenticating only to the specific website, eliminating phishing risks (password managers can also effectively ensure this)

but if you're not using a hardware code generator (and possibly not even that, see also the RSA seed breach) or a WebAuthn device, you aren't getting those anyway.
There is something called "opportunity cost". Small kids demand more, than just physical inconvenience during pregnancy. And small kids usually require their mother. (I cannot breast feed for example and mother milk is still quite superior to the industrial milk, but it is about more than that)

So all of it is time and energy, that could not be invested into a political career.

Have a baby and be out of the game for some time and you will have to struggle to catch up to those, who did not have a baby.

So I find it not surprising, that we do not have 50/50 for leadership positions, as they usually require intense effort, before reaching that. (networking, building skills, reputation ...)

So should we find ways, to support women more, to not "just be mothers", but also going other ways? Absolutely. But maybe we can start with not degrading women who are "just mothers" - as being a good mum, can be a 24h job.
So I think the idea that women should be mothers AND have successful careers (and preferable both at once), just creates uncecessary pressure and stress. And the 50/50 idea creates that, in my opinion.

You can repeatedly condescend to everyone in this thread, yet, we all continue to grok that having a plan of goals for improvements that would impact both tooling and compiler, when the plan it has to take over parsing throughout the compiler succeeds, is not the same as focusing on compiler performance.

I hope this is a silver bullet that somehow address all of this and succeeds, but 7 years of Swift in, I've seen plenty of plans of goals that could do things if other ambitious plans succeed.

> It's kind of a shame that C has fallen out of favor as a language for new programmers these days.

I really like C, but I also disagree with that sentiment. C/C++ should be used as minimally as possible. New projects should use something secure by default in 2021 unless they have a specific articulable need (i.e. not "I like C more" or "I don't know [alternative]").

C/C++ usage should fall into three categories:

- New OS and System Utilities (in particular for hardware with no other language support).

- Existing projects written in C/C++.

- Areas where all the resources and support are only currently in C/C++ (e.g. game development).

I'm glad fewer new developers are getting into C/C++. That will increase the costs and make companies less likely to pick it unless they absolutely must.

Fair question, so how about either that they were the good guys, or that they would have been other than this one action?
Not directly related but another "today" App Store rejection story for rules being incorrectly applied: I had an app get rejected today for referencing MacPaint in the subtitle. It was in the subtitle because one of the major features is that it exports images to MacPaint format. The reviewer cited their rule about not using Apple trademarks in the title or subtitle. Which is fair enough, except that their trademark on MacPaint expired in 2007 (I checked before submitting actually). I ended up changing the subtitle, removing MacPaint, and the app was approved later today. I did call out in the resolution center that the trademark had expired, but of course I got no reply.

Your statement above is either confused or intentionally deceptive [this post edited as I tried to parse your claim]:

"US has just over 580,000 H-1B visa holders, says USCIS" [1]

The figure you quote, 65K, is, (as you do say) the number of H-1bs issued per year. But that's not comparable to 4+ million statically existing software jobs and contrasting the two figures gives the wrong impression - the impression that H-1bs don't impact software job market where clearly they do.

-- Could 500K influence a job market of 4 million? Obviously, notably when they are concentrated in certain area but just generally, you don't need another 4 million to change a supply and demand equation.

Given this, I'd say the rest of your argument falls apart.

I'd note that I'm not "anti-H1b", I'm anti the entire sweat shop system I describe above. I'd agree with other posters who suggest H1b holders should be able to choose the employer as soon as they enter the country.
