As I said, it wasn't handled well. I don't think we should be building backdoors into secruity systems. I also don't think my friend explicitly requested the functionality or would have understood the ramifications even if he did.

Bitlocker is, apparently, enabled-by-default on consumer machines that, I'd argue, don't suffer from a threat model that necessitate its use.

There is a huge problem with technical and legal constructs associated with the rights to accounts and data after death. I don't have the answers for everybody. I've done what I can for myself and my immediate family.

The "I've lost my mind and undermine efforts I made, while still in my right mind, for successors-in-right to access my data" is one that I'm not sure how to defend against, and one that scares the willies out of me. I can document my last wishes but if I, in a fit or paranoia, change keys / passwords / remove recovery mechanisms, then those last wishes might be irrelevant.

It's a context-sensitive metric. I would estimate that in Shanghai it took one to two months for my unlocked bike to get stolen. (I lost three bikes this way.) That doesn't sound great, but in San Francisco it'd be a matter of days.
There is a list of "Sub-year groupings" which assign two-digit numbers to seasons (hemisphere independent), seasons (Northern Hemisphere), seasons (Southern Hemisphere), quarters, quadrimesters (four-month periods), and semestrals (six-month periods). The numbering starts at 21.

The numbers 1 to 12 are already used to represent months in formats such as YYYY-MM, so starting this list higher than 12 allows these (certainly rare) representations to coexist. e.g. "2021-12" represents "October, 2021" and "2021-29" represents "Spring, Southern Hemisphere, 2021".
No, I think he means Typescript. Typescript doesn’t have (or even tries to have) a sound type system. It’s good to know its limitations and try to avoid code that will blow up despite passing type checking.

I had to “restart” my social circle similar to @jameshush when I moved states, and again when I moved to Cupertino. In addition to the suggestions mentioned:
-Hiking / Tennis / Racquetball partners. People are frequently looking for these partners, and sports offer an easy way to get to know someone in person, then ask if they want to hang out.
-Volunteering- I found most of my recent friends while volunteering at religious events.
What a load of horse shit. Half the people I know have had their bikes or mopeds stolen. Especially in the big cities, probably the most common crime happening. Its why people buy shit bikes, so it doesn't matter much when they are stolen.
Also, technical skill aside, Linux users are used to dev <-> consumer relationship being more symmetrical and more of a "two way street". The few non-coder Linux users I know prefer it for this aspect --- similar to why people might shop at a local neighborhood co-op instead of Walmart/Target/Microsoft/Apple
Remote options are increasing, but I bet so is the use of "remote" as a promotional tool in job ads, where technically it's on the books but so infeasible as to be irrelevant when you look at how the job has to be performed (e.g. on site at clients or must be available for regular travel to city x)
That trajectory seems believable over several years, but I thought people were talking over the last several months. (Also, I'd say even that trajectory is somewhat unusual, without something significant changing like a getting a degree or location change from a third tier city to SV, or something.)
Ask HN: What do you think about Elixir and Phoenix for web/mobile app?
I’m new to elixir and phoenix but right off the bat it seems fantastic and a pleasure to code with. Is there anything that as a beginner might be useful to know? I’d like to use it as a backend for an iOS app in the future. I think particularly love the liveview feature in elixir.
Amen, brother. 90% of the people I saw in jail were there because of this. Once they had a black mark against them society would not let them reenter and they were forced onto the margins where inevitably something would happen that would cause them to reenter the justice system. Sometimes something as small as not being able to get to an AA meeting because they had no transport. Maybe 25% of the jail population were those who had made a minor transgression while on an ankle monitor awaiting trial and were rearrested for it. The lawmakers in Illinois recently passed a law allowing you to be able to buy groceries while on an ankle monitor, but just before the law became effective it was rescinded.
Long time ago, it was possible to built Cube into a Node.js app. However, the team decided to deprecate it: https://github.com/cube-js/cube.js/blob/master/DEPRECATION.m...

The motivation is diverse but one of the reasons is that a Cube app should be scaled differently from a client-facing app. Noone probably wants their app to hang when Cube serves a ton of requests or refreshes cached data (and vice versa). That’s why it’s recommended to run Cube as microservices. I hope it’s not a big deal since a lot of cloud platforms provide container environments.

Also, just recently, we’ve launched Cube Cloud which provides serverless experience for Cube apps and has a free tier: https://cube.dev/cloud/
Just read through all 173 pages of the unredacted Google antitrust filing and
All this presupposes that what the AG has written is correct, and that what happened was actually illegal. Generally a court of law decides that.

Since none of this has been proven, maybe it would be prudent not to throw all of the folks who work there under the sociopath or coward bus?

A cursory reading belies the authors don’t fully understand the mechanics of the industry (eg, the broken analogy comparing an ad exchange to a stock exchange), so I’ll reserve judgement personally.
Lovely idea. I would like to see a comparison of the energy requirement for hardening wood this way vs. making steel. Would give a better sense of whether this is a technology worth pursuing as one path toward decarbonising the future.
This attitude and it’s logical conclusions are why America has this problem. Compared to most European countries there’s an utter lack of compassion for people less fortunate.

Yes, a small part of homelessness is caused by drug issues (far more drug problems are the consequences of homelessness) but you only have to look at the absence of a proper welfare state, health system, and other essential safety nets, to see why things are so bad.

You want to live in a society without massive social problems, you have to pay a decent amount of tax to support the services that sustain a good society.
> Did you not realize that the repo contains a copy of every third party lib they use?

Except it doesn't. And even if it did, my point is valid. Those libraries are being used in Chromium, and thus need to be maintained for use in Chromium. You can't just let your dependencies rot :)

> It didn't go from 5 to 35 LoC in 5 years buddy

It...did? Do me a favor, write a JavaScript engine, layout engine, crossplatform audio library, crossplatform gfx stack, webgl implementation, webgpu implementation, and about 9000 other things and keep it under 5 million lines. You can't. The web has legitimately expanded in scope to the point where we're pushing double digits on total lines of code.

> Iron Law of Oligarchy

Now that's really not a scientific concept. Just because something does not appear to exist doesn't mean it's not possible. I personally strongly disagree that any form of organization is tyranny: depending on the modes of organizing, it can be pretty liberatory in giving a common framework for empowering me to act in ways i could never if i were alone and isolated.

Building collective power is not necessarily to the detriment of individual power, though i'm not suggesting that finding a balance is always easy.
I don't think I'd consider working in office for a company for my next position. All recruiters that email me in office work are ignored, all remote options get a reply and go on a list for when I'm looking again.

I want to eventually own a home but that's not going to happen for a long while in the Northern NJ area for me. For some place with temperatures I prefer more, lower taxes, and cheaper cost of living? It's definitely a possibility already.
Since the Y axis only goes to 80%, the chart appears at first to have a bigger absolute jump than it actually does. For example, it makes it harder to tell at a glance that there are about as many (percentage-wise) remote-not-ok postings now as there were remote-ok postings several years ago.

The actual change is amazing, though! It wouldn't be possible to tell from the posts themselves, but I wonder how many of these roles are actually filled with remote workers. Do you think employers in that middle 60% seriously consider remote candidates, or are they just including it to fit in? Or perhaps the move towards remote work has led to more postings overall.

Over time, I'm curious if we'll see statistics on tenure and engagement across remote and in-person employees. Are there similar examples from history where multiple small talent pools were (relatively suddenly) merged together into one big market?

I'm not in the USA but I am an English speaking Canadian so I feel I have a familiarity more than other non-US people. And I think I have an objective view not being a US citizen.

Having watched US news for 40 years, since my early teen years, I have found all US news has become much more US-centric. CNN was pretty good but it does seem to be stuck in a US only, counter-right wing loop. Fox news is very far right from my point of view maybe less so to those in the US. It also spends its time trying to counter CNN.

Local news ABC, CBS, NBC are nightly news and often are what you'd typically think of as news broadcasts. Those three stations tend to be neutral in views but as I said above are becoming more US-centric. There is much less international news other than mentioning wars or terrorism. You won't see a story of cricket scores in India, or a recipe from a chef in Argentina, or local politics news of Ghana. You often will see such things on BBC or Reuters for example.

The US political system is a "us vs them" mentality not like parliamentary democracies where there are half a dozen political parties in government. There is a Democrat (liberal) vs Republican (conservative) ideological split. CNN, NBC, PBS tend to be seen as aligning with Democratic party, BLM, lgbt, left-leaning views. Fox, OAN, Newsmax are Republican, military, religious right, far right views.

edit: for anyone outside the US wanting to watch US news without the quick edits, fancy graphics etc. your best source would be PBS news.

Yes, but nobody ever heard of it until it was mentioned as an also-ran in Wikipedia's article about DAPs.

It's like that to protect consumers. If you want your phone to have cryptographic integrity, then all the parts have to share keys. Otherwise, if the police wanted to look inside your phone, they could easily bypass all the cryptography with a custom part that either extracts the keys from the other components or disables encryption entirely.

It's an unfortunately consequence of a secure device.

> Those 10 minutes before standup starts, feels like an eternity.

I'm sorry, I don't understand this. You could join the meeting earlier and just talk about private stuff with your team members. Similar to what you would do in a physical office. Talk about what you did on the weekend or plan for the next one, what movie you watched, what you'll have for lunch.

And I think it is important to build these social interactions into a WFH environment. The thing that I feel really helps bonding with customers and colleagues, is talking about our kids (at least with those that have kids).

And of course it depends on your team, but in our team it's no problem at all to say you need to leave earlier.

I've said so in some discussions already here on HN: I would go back to the office if commute would be much shorter (by bike) and it wouldn't be an open plan office.

I dislike the amount of online meetings I have now, but it's ok. I try to reduce it by actively removing unnecessary participants and trying to make communication asynchronous.

For an audio app that I work on, it's similar, but different: around 1% of the users are on Linux, and around a third of the bugs / complaints come from Linux, but they're virtually all Linux specific.

We're having to seriously consider dropping Linux support because the support / maintenance load is so high. (This comes significantly from the libraries we're using having worse Linux support, and a lot from the Linux audio ecosystem in general not being very mature; and then a whole bunch of it is people wanting packages for dozens of different systems.)

It's called SafetyNet [1]

What irked me is sometime app developers are abusing it without asking themself "Does this app really need to check for rooted phones at all?"

I'm okay if banks apps are using that. But why does fast foods apps need to use that? Most people that I know are paying with cash when they order foods online (and you can't hack paper money with rooted android phones).

There's not a 3rd party app on my iPhone that accesses the mic that does not show the microphone notification. Zoom shows the recording icon when open in the background.

> but you're definitely being very naïve and apologetic toward companies whose entire business models are based around invading privacy at all costs

I'm not being naïve and I don't have a facebook for the reasons you mention. My problem is that you're making alot of assertions with no backing and suggesting something that is extremely unlikely is true, so the burden of proof is on you to show that it happens or, at least, how it could happen.

Right now, I think it is highly unreasonable that the social apps are using exploits to gain access to the microphone without the OS being aware. Not to mention the challenge of hashing messy, real world audio for keywords.

Every year when DST ends, there are two hours during which the locale name based time is not unique since it could be both shortly before or after the time got turned back.

But beside that this would make sense when everyone involoved is living in the same timezone, but when coordinating internationally (which tends to be the main focus when the ISO is involved) we really do not want such changes to happen automatically. Everyone in the local timezone is likely to be aware of time changes so they know they have to adapt, but everyone in another timezone might have almost no way of knowing. For them, an event starting at a different (UTC) time is a rescheduling, no matter if it is caused by some timezone adjustment or not. So hiding this behind some tzdb change instead of sending out new dates would most likely mean that they appear at the wrong time.

Also including offsets ensures that the person writing the time knows the right offset. In the last year, I had quite some meetings where the host wanted to be nice and send the time in the local timezone for every participant. Since only timezone names and no offsets were included and the host mostly assumed that their local DST rules apply globally, this resulted in a giant mess. Especially after people informed them about errors, so the times switched back and forth between times assuming DST or not assuming DST. Without seeing the offset, there was no way of knowing which time was actually intended. If a UTC offset is given, most local people can relatively easily verify that it is the expected offset but even more importantly, you can independently convert it to the right zone no matter what the author thought.
