Ask HN: How do you manage parents'/dependents' iOS devices remotely?
For those with parents/dependents who may not be technically savvy and have iOS devices, how do you manage their (parents') iOS devices remotely?

I'd like to know about (MDM) solutions that can be used to install or remove specific apps, change settings on the device, etc., and their limitations. I know that MDM is what's needed here and that a specific MDM profile has to be installed first, but I'm not sure what privacy preserving options exist and how they fit in on ease of use, features, price, etc. I've read that Apple Configurator on the Mac is terrible and buggy (this seems to be a theme with any Apple app that allows reviews on the respective stores). I don't know if a third party solution like JAMF is good for such individual (one or two devices) scenarios where the usage would be occasional. Something that's free would be nice.

Of course, this need is not restricted to parents alone. It could be for anyone who may have difficulty in understanding or following instructions.
data shows that minorities are in fact much less likely to have government ID.

The study you provided was a phone survey of less than 1,000 people that occurred 15 years ago. It along with other studies showing similar results were debunked by researchers at Stanford, Yale, and the University of Pennsylvania.

Yes, this doesn't sound quite right to me but it may be an economies-of-scale thing. I work on an HPC system and we budget an order of magnitude less for tape storage, and that has held for quite a few years.

Not sure about "labor shortage". More like "wage shortage".
That's something I've seen mentioned too but never could verify if that is something that's actually true with modern tape standards or not. (i.e. last I asked on HN I was told it wasn't a concern anymore) If the drive needs to adjust to get precise enough positioning anyhow, misalignment seems way less likely.

Lovely, and who gets to determine which information is "hygienic"?

I don't think it's a coincidence that people who support censorship think of humans as "meat computers". I suggest that if someone says "we are meat computers," we start treating them like one, i.e. ignoring them.
Why should I value the information from one internet stranger over another? You can't authenticate if you don't know who anyone is. If someone is consistently changing the information then someone is going to notice.

Just think about all that unauthenticated information in libraries. Anyone can replace pages in the books. Books can be substituted with completely fake copies. No one bothers to do this for the same reasons no one bothers to MITM connections to plain text web sites.

I work remotely from Zürich, Switzerland myself and went through the process last year.

When I went through it all, it was only Google and Facebook that did leetcode questions. The Facebook recruiter even suggested grinding before the interview. The rest of the companies did various coding and architecture sessions, with the coding sessions being much closer to real world problems.

In the end I ended up at Mutiny (https://www.mutinyhq.com/). We do real-world domain-related coding problems in our technical screens and we won't ding you for having to google things - that is after all what most of us do day-today.

If you're interested in learning more about what we do, I am happy to chat. Just shoot me an e-mail at bo@mutinyhq.com
Agree, but you are giving a more extreme example.

Most rewrites I saw was "wow, this Java code from the old team is a mess, let's rewrite it and, in a couple years, the new devs will think the same about our rewrite."

What you’re saying is equivalent to “buggy declarative code is harder to debug than working imperative code.” Obviously that’s true, but not exactly a convincing argument that imperative is better than declarative.

Your underlying assumption is that it’s easier to write correct imperative configuration than it is to write correct declarative configuration. In my experience, this is not the case. Consider a basic task like provisioning a fleet of hosts and deploying some code to the fleet. In an imperative approach, you need two distinct steps. One for provisioning, and one for deploying. Both operations are multi-step processes that are required to be idempotent because the number of possible failures between the start of provisioning and the end of deployment is quite large. It’s not easy to write a system that does this, as there are a lot of steps that need to be enumerated via imperative scripts for both provisioning and deployment, and it’s even harder to do in a failure tolerant way.

Compare the above to a Kubernetes deployment. The entire configuration is 30 lines of yaml. There is no providing step. Kubernetes will make sure the resources you need are provisioned and it will do so in a failure tolerant way.
Hiring juniors and/or interns is something every company should do, however they're not "just" missed opportunities. If you want them to succeed you have to put in the work to help them do so, and that in itself needs to be budgetted for with every junior hire.
Surely k8s benefits from being a standardized way to do this. Yes you can roll your own version but it'll be different in every company.

If you want tape-like offline storage on HDDs, you can use a SATA docking station. Keep the 'active' backup drives plugged in, store full drives wherever you like.

It’s that they’re not experts at all. For example, Malone was involved in the earliest days of mRNA research in the 1980s. He’s not an expert on what other people subsequently did over the next 3 decades and his endorsement of medications which don’t work and the antivax movement shows that he’s no longer willing to meet the standards of being a scientist.

Now, that might be a sad, slightly comical end to a career if it was something harmless — similar to how, say, the creationists would latch onto one guy with a Ph.D in something science-related to say there was a controversy — but it’s medical malpractice at a time when thousands of people are dying daily and vaccination lowers that number by at least an order of magnitude.

Do developers show up on twitter?

Of the 100 or so professional software engineers and it pros I have worked closely with over the last decade, I think I know... 1 that used twitter. Maybe they follow engineering on twitter, maybe not. Twitter gets you, twitter people, not necessarily software engineers.
Yes, but similar to Python on Postgresql, it comes with a bunch of security warnings attached.

I should have clarified in my original post but I'm envisioning more of: database server has a parser that understands python/javascript/c#/etc but projects a subset of library functions to avoid security dangers.

Essentially, expose the same functionality stored procedures already have but in a more accessible syntax.

What vendors mostly seem to have opted for is embedding the full language parsers directly into the database servers, which yields a lot of power and a lot of risk.
> Then they go to Harlem to ask people what they think of those comments.

Maybe they should have asked in one of the states that is actually passing restrictive voter ID laws, and that is at the same time closing DMV offices in minority areas, limiting the hours that DMVs issue IDs, and has nearly non-existent affordable public transit.

The might have gotten different answers than asking in a state that is pro voter rights, in a neighborhood that has a DMV office, and that has excellent access to public transportation if for some reason the neighborhood DMV is not available.
First thought. For people not into music or this sort of indie rock music. The song is worth a listen for its innovation and sleekness at the time. The song, The Gift, is from Velvet Underground’s 2nd album in 1968. It’s long and is all spoken word. The story comes out of the left speaker and the rock music comes from the right speaker.

The song is influential. The more contemporary ‘Undone – The Sweater Song’ by Weezer in 1994 is influenced by The Gift. Also has sleek rock music and a lot of spoken words.

I mentioned this in another thread, but given a secure way to acquire public keys, MITM attacks can be fully mitigated with signatures rather than payload encryption.

A tiny client doesn't have to bother checking this signature, anything capable of receiving encrypted data could be just as sure that the payload is byte-identical with the author's intention as TLS makes possible.

The difference is everyone gets to read your postcard if they want, but I'm with you: if I have an AVR barely able to GET the weather report, and strip numbers out of it if the JSON schema doesn't change even slightly, what problem is going to arise from some bad actor reading that packet on the way in?

If Mallory starts messing with my dumb Arduino garden I can set up a firewall that checks the signatures. It's progressive enhancement with graceful degradation.

Young has been foolish and reactionary in his songs plenty of times. "Let's impeach the president" is not exactly lyrical nuance. That doesn't make Rogan better.

There's enough food to go around. We no longer need to base the foundation of survival on subsistence farming. Like 1% of the population is literally "putting food on the table", i.e. farming. The remaining 99% are doing things of questionable utility, like art, religion, philosphy... Only a hypercapitalist would not understand how anyone could exist without a "job".

What does "making strides" towards philosophy even mean? Philosophy is largely about taking the time to think about stuff. This person in question seems to have that down. Sure they might fail to figure anything meaningful out, but that's valuable in its own right. A lifetime of sleep walking dogs could lead to enlightenment.

Emphasis on consciously. Your leptin/ghrelin balance will do that for you, and you won't even think about it.
She is aware of her issue and could have chosen to manage it. For instance if she knows she tends to have such coping behaviours she could use a fixed chair and a better camera angle. Or she could have refused the interview altogether as she clearly had no message or insight to pass there was no reason to go on air.

Failing at an action you chose to engage in and then to excuse it by supposed psychological issues is not really what any half-decent person does.

Going out on a limb: Any mildly autistic person aware of their issues takes action to avoid such painful situations. So I would also doubt there is an actual diagnosis and she is just looking for an excuse to not feel/be made responsible for the harm she caused this entire movement.
The only reason mainstream media is talking about this is because the anti work "movement" is not radical and does not threaten capitalism in any way.

Instead of a discussion on the nature of capitalism and how worker exploitation is central to it, the subreddit talks about why employers ideas need to change.

Zero historical materialist analysis. If i was smarter I'd think this is another one of those 3 letter agency funded programs to control dissent.
I advertise on LinkedIn and use Workable as my applicant tracking system.

I've experimented with pretty much every paid job board and have settled in Linkedin, it seems to get a reasonably broad range of candidates for most positions posted.

Also I have moved to a policy of posting the exact starting salary.

Not a range, not commensurate with experience, etc. Just like here's what we're going to pay you, right from the beginning. Also here's the benefits, they're good and they're 100% paid by us. It just feels like a more ethical way to do things and stops all the stilly time wasting around compensation.

If I want to consider a range of applicants with a wide band in compensation (which, sometimes you do, maybe you're open to a wide range) then I just post more than one ad. There's nothing wrong with posting for Junior, Senior, Director, with the same core job function.

I think this article has convinced me to drop Spotify. I don't care about podcasts, so their push on podcasts has already annoyed me. I don't want to see them in the UI. The fact that their pushing of podcasts also means less music is probably going to be too much for me. I need to find a platform that just focuses on music.
Good to see Safari finally added it nine months ago. Small annoyance, but I remember the inputs' values not being consistent either. Is that still the case?
It's just measuring adherence to a particular standard of written english. To use it to determine whether one work is "better" or not, you need to make a value judgement about which written standard or dialect you want to consider the target and compare to.

Choosing that target is the ideology mentioned in an earlier comment: holding one dialect as superior or more fit to a purpose is ideological in a pure technical sense.

You could also choose a different standard to get different results, for example imagine telling it that this is the goal for "best" https://www.bbc.com/pidgin

Anyway since it mentioned using wikipedia as a source for "good" english, it makes sense to me to intuit it that way. Prose on wikipedia is detailed and held to a very specific standard, which is legible to the filter. Prose on wikipedia is also not usually going to win literary awards though, since that depends on more than careful adherence to a standard.

> The compiler is relatively fast for recompilation

Relative to Rust when doing a cold-compile, maybe, but certainly not relative to other languages like C, sane C++, Go, or Common Lisp.

I'm comparing Rust tooling with existing tooling in other languages in general, that is feasible to implement.

Common Lisp has multiple compilers (SBCL, Allegro, Clasp) that compile code nearly instantly (within a second for my modest 2kloc codebases, and individual functions in milliseconds), have REPLs (that also do native-code compilation under the hood using the compiler proper - no hacks), and support hotpatching.

Visual Studio implements in-process hot-patching, too, so between C++'s highly static nature, and the fact that SBCL is run by a tiny group of unpaid contributors, there's no reason for the Rust compiler to not have it.

Meanwhile, GHC (compiling Haskell, a statically-typed language) has a REPL, so it's clear that being dynamically-typed is not a requirement.

From a user's perspective, having either long compilation times or lacking a REPL is OK, but not having either is unacceptable.

Having a good package manager is necessary for having good tooling, but not sufficient.
It's trivial to wipe data on a tape with a degausser. You destroy the Tape in the process since it also wipes out factory written servo tracks.
If that cost is the cost of an employer then the cost is at least twice the pay the person doing the work would get. E.g. to run an operation where someone is paid $10/h your cost is likely $20/h including insurance/clothes/transport and other overheads for the employer (Payroll taxes alone are usually around 50% on top of the hourly pay). So if the cost is a dime then a cigarette butt picker might make 5c which isn't as great. It's 200 butts/h for minimum wages.
This just begs the question why?

It's not the 18th century anyone, if you want to get from A to B there's better ways. Even if you want to go sailing, just go and do it and have it done. This seems like some form of nautical itinerancy.

I think your comment got an unfair downvote. The rant was okay, but it went on to talk about a strawman argument of a measure(beef consumption) before flying. However, the better I'd have put the whole rant(not sure OP agrees, this is just my reading of it), is like this:
We've been reactively forming policies out of fear of extreme bad/negative consequence events. Since, the time window of public/societal memory is limited and there's a cycle of elections and power structure climbing too involved, the policies tend to be ones that are sellable/explain-away-able to the vast majority of the public. And these become the standards till another event occurs and never re-considered.
Ask HN: Do you use FreeBSD for production workload?

Yeah, the problem is not intelligence, but the fact that he simply is uneducated, and does not have the skills of critical thinking, deduction and scientific method. Yet he poses as one, gets involved in debates and makes claims of which he is just not qualified at all. He is dangerous because he inspires people to have strong opinions and reach conclusions about things they are not qualified to assess.
"Yet each writer is convinced that the other’s policy leads directly to slavery, and the alarming thing is that they may both be right."

So true.

My view is that the more involved "the system" gets in people's lives with laws dictating what can and cannot be done (for increasingly trivial things, or by abusing the legal process!), the more people will be negatively affected. People mostly only care about what affects them, or only see what affects them.

This essentially lead to a simple majority forcing a substantial minority to do, or refrain from doing, something. Yet the members of that majority may find themselves being similarly forced as a member of the substantial minority on a different subject.
The commentator I was replying to was referring to Washington Post admitting that the "Russia Collusion" scandal that went for over a year was corrected silently by them and they admitted it was basically all fraud, but that MSNBC and CNN have made virtually no corrections to this day on that specific issue.

I was not speaking to that MSNBC or CNN has never made corrections broadly-speaking, but rather that they would not back down on a story that is now broadly considered (according to the Washington Post, no right-wing sympathizer) debunked.

I agree, this was daunting for me too.

I use werf.io now (an opensource project which I am not affiliated with, I am just a user). It deploys my resources and waits to validate whether the deploy succeeded. They call it "giterminism".

You can do this yourself with scripts for sure, but I have not needed to extend any of their built in functionality yet.

Highly recommended for anyone using k8s with CD.

> Imagine you have free speech. Yay! Now what? Why was this so important again?

It's important because it's a human right.

> Free speech is not an end goal. It's a tool that serves a purpose.

No, it's a human right. Thinking that "human rights" are tools to serve a purpose is authoritarian thinking, where we grant people fictitious "rights" only if they serve some greater social purpose, but if that social purpose is threatened by those rights, we reserve the right to oppress them.

That said, I agree that recognizing free speech is a right doesn't mean it must be unrestricted. Other rights exist too after all.
