Show HN: JumpAsync – Bye scheduled meetings, hi asynchronous video collaboration
Hi Show HN, I'm really excited to share a project I have been working on, JumpAsync.com. The idea of building a tool like this came about when I was working in a team as a software engineer. My coworkers and I were working from opposite parts of the world and found it difficult to attend scrum ceremonies synchronously.
I decided to build a tool for teams to work remotely across timezones, without distractions and the need for scheduled meetings. Send a link with an agenda, the team participates by recording screen share and talking head videos at their own time, and interact with comments and reactions.
If you're like me, you probably don’t enjoy spending hours on video conferencing and Zoom meetings. I encourage you to try it out if this looks interesting. Thank you and I’m open to any feedback.
Wonder how this compares to NitroKey, which also is open, but not FPGA-based.

It's almost certainly a good time to update https://lwn.net/Articles/736231/
The Tillitis Key is a new kind of USB security key inspired by measured boot and DICE.

Tillitis Key’s design encourages developers to experiment with new security key applications and models in a way that makes adoption easier and less risky for end-users.

It offers both security and flexibility by being end-user programmable while also preventing applications loaded onto the device from knowing each other’s secrets. During use firmware on Tillitis Key derives a unique key for each application it runs by measuring it before execution. This is done by combining an application’s hash value with a unique per device secret. Applications are loaded onto the device from the host computer during use, and are not stored persistently on the device.

A user- or host-supplied secret can also be mixed into the key derivation function, providing further protection. A sophisticated physical attacker should be assumed to have knowledge of the target application’s hash, and will likely eventually succeed in extracting the UDS from the hardware. By adding a host-supplied secret, knowledge of the application used as well as the security key’s UDS is not sufficient to produce the application secret. This makes the security impact of a lost or stolen Tillitis Key less than for conventional security keys.

Device applications can be chain-loaded where the first application stage hands off its secret to the second stage. This improves user experience as it makes it possible for the application secret (and its public key) to remain the same even if a device application is updated. It also enables developers to define their own software update trust policies. A simple first-stage application might do code signing verification of the second stage, whereas a more advanced one will require m-of-n code signatures, or a Sigsum inclusion proof. Sigsum was designed with embedded use cases in mind.

Tillitis Key is and always will be open source hardware and software. Schematics, PCB design and FPGA design source as well as all software source code can be found on GitHub.

The article is talking about Quarkus, a framework that uses the same annotations but which generates Java code at build time. So there's no reflection and you can navigate with your IDE or debugger into the framework code to understand what it does.
This is not true. There is an oversaturation of stem degrees as well. Over 90% of stem majors do not find a job in their field or STEM.

My reading of that sentence is that “<$> might rightfully scare you but it is only a synonym for the fmap function.” Does that still sound arrogant?
The article is gated so I can’t see if they address this but when companies make such announcements isn’t differential laying off / firing due to race illegal?
You’re right, IBM & Google have teamed up to brainwash and secretly hire all the OSS developers for GNOME. Their goal is to stealthily undermine the Linux Desktop by implementing other half baked OSS tech in place of currently broken OSS tech, all while the public is bamboozled.

I have a 2019 model and have non of the issues you have. Except sometimes the soundbar doesn’t want to connect when I turn it on.

We use an Apple TV and non of the built in streaming apps or features. No complaints and I’ve never even connected it to the internet.
Lots of conspiratorial theories here but the best way to mitigate this very dangerous game is to not rely on oil for your day-to-day needs - so instead of driving to Costco for gas in a giant SUV and living in the suburbs, you change your way of life. This applies at the personal level and also nation state level. Germany shutting down nuclear reactors and relying on Russian fossil fuels is another dangerous game that was placed and lost.

Or don’t.

And then regardless who is president this happens anyway because there is no economic policy in existence that will give you forever cheap gasoline and oil unless we have some miracle breakthrough technology like fungus growing oil or something.

OPEC+ won’t have “maintenance issues” because while they have a stranglehold on oil production, there is a pain point where malfeasance would result in US military action to get oil flowing again.

Same here. I need to restart gnome shell everytime I update an extension for some stupid reason, but it's easy and I don't lose any work. This is a sucky design decision that is just a showstopper for me. I wish it the best I guess...
Most people don't use gestures in the windows ecosystem because neither Windows, nor its OEMs have put any effort into making them useful or supported. Apple did both, and then apps like BetterTouchTool took it even further.
The recorded magnitude of an earthquake depends on your distance from the epicentre

No, this is a confusion.

Read the other comments here: there's two things (which I just learned from reading this, but I always knew the epicenter magnitude is the measure of quake power):

1. The recorded magnitude for a quake is the measure of energy of quake at that epicenter.

2. An intensity scale measures the shaking (and it's perceptual effects on humans) at distances from the epicenter.

Stop contesting what I'm saying here: I'm saying the magnitude was 6.9. That's a true statement.

I'm also saying I fucking felt it. That's also true. Stop telling me I got either of those things wrong. They're both true. You don't fucking know what I felt or what I didn't feel. Also, the magnitude was 6.9 (or 6.8 depending on system used).

Obviously I know that what you feel a further distance from it is less shaking that what you feel up close. Come on, of course! It's obvious. Why assume I'm saying something "dumb", or can't understand that unless you need to pretend to look down. And why assume that what I'm saying is false; I'm saying that what I felt in Taipei was sickening. You can't question! That's what I fucking felt.

You have no idea of what I felt. You can't question it. Jeeus F Christ, what is wrong with you?

Ok, maybe you weren't saying that specifically...but you know what I mean? People on here trying to tell me I had magnitude wrong: no I had it 100% right. Trying to tell me what I could or couldn't feel, not they can't. Trying to be like surprised I felt sickening at this: it's my fucking reaction. I can feel whatever I want and you have no idea about that and no say in that.

It's a basic question and boundary. My feelings and reactions are what I know and no one else can tell me that something internal to me didn't happen, and I experienced it, and I know it happened.

I mean can you understand how exasperating that is? It's like: "You people don't have any idea at all, what are you even talking about?" Ugh.

I work in tax. Yes, you need to be able to read and write well to understand the changing tax law in the US. The tax code is also used as social policy in the US, and it's important to know for liability reasons that even the person you're paying to do it for you is doing some parts correctly. Did your payroll employee not withhold key taxes? That's a pretty large headache and fine you have coming.

You choose weird examples. I don’t know how VS can be considered slow when it only has one real competitor - JB Rider - and that competitor offers C# support. Also, I’d there a language that competes with C# that doesn’t also have some form of “assembly hell”?
To be fair, I don't think 3-5 books suffice at all. So from the point of view of adding books no-one else has mentioned, from the point of view of C++ Software Engineer, a few of my favourites:

Code Complete 2 - McConnel

Professional Software Development - McConnel

Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs (SICP) - Sussmann et all. (main artifact: Implement the scheme interpreter, not in Scheme, but in a language of your choice)

Algorithm Design Manual - Skiena

The Timeless Way Of Building - Alexander. Software patterns often refer this book, but the concepts used in software patterns generally are far more pedestrian in scope than Alexanders timeless vision for quality in architecture. Goes really well with this older book Notes On The Synthesis of Form.
I guess it's subjective, but I prefer

>Russia hasn't provided any evidence to back up their claim

They did. They called for a UN security council meeting where they presented their evidence. Thats where they invited the IAEA to visit to see for themselves.

The IAEA investigated and subsequently refused to make any comment at all about who was responsible for the shelling. They didnt say that there wasnt enough evidence. They just didnt comment at all.

America has also commented. They said that they think it did happen.

It was already unlikely that Russia shelled themselves. The fact that they went to great lengths to try and prove Ukraine did it and got this vague "both sides" shit from a supposedly thorough investigation in response suggests that, on balance, they were telling the truth.

Now they've proved we're ok with it, they've done it too.
Well, the thing is that many of us here won't ever notice, because they own a Google account that is older than the minimum age (or something like 'minimum age' minus 'reasonable age at which someone could open a Google account'), and which got grandfathered in as 'age checked' simply by having existed for over a decade. You'll never see the age verification stuff if you have on of those.

Now create a new Google account. What Google will ask you seems to be region dependent, but here in the Netherlands I get just two options: make a dummy payment using a credit card, or send in a copy of your ID.

This year I closed my age old Google account, and moved from Gmail to Fastmail. I did have to create a new Google account recently for use with the Play Store. It's not tied to anything that costs money, so that's fine, but it won't work on Youtube for age gated videos. I get the question outlined above now.
> job cuts won’t hit workers from ‘marginalized communities’ more than others

This is the most corporate sentence I have heard today.
Ah things like this are going to make European Americans deeply resent minorities in the tech space. If he was going to do it he shouldn't have mentioned it this way.
The only success would be being the “iPhone” and turning Adobe into a “Nokia”.

Considering the audience of twitter, which is the elite of society, this is really is an especially bad performance.

Being better than DDG wouldn't be difficult. I don't know why DDG gets such uncritical recommendations whenever privacy is the topic at issue. I've always found its search results pretty useless.

I've just had a quick twiddle with SearX. It seems to produce pretty good results. It's obviously an aggregator rather than an individual search engine. But that's not necessarily a bad thing. I may visit it more often as my current search engine of choice, StartPage has the annoying habit --or I should say Google has the annoying habit, as that's what StartPage uses-- of quite often returning results which are the direct opposite of what I'm looking for. eg. search for "convert from X to Y" and Google/StartPage will return myriad results for "convert from Y to X".

Plus Google/StartPage seems completely swamped these day with totally junk results. This is especially true if you search for answers to technical / software related questions. The 'dependable' sources such as stackoverlow, github and the like usually come way down the list beneath a dozen Mickey Mouse worthless 'articles' obviously copy/pasted from press releases and authored by people with no clue what they're talking about.

Whoops! --sorry for the deviation. That started of as an "I'll give SearX a go..." comment but ended up bemoaning the state of search in general!

I have 2 Sony Android TVs and never connected them to the internet in 5+ years. I use it just as you described, the Apple TV drives everything. No updates in 5 years and not a single issue.
The app key would need to stay the same, but I can't think of a mechanism that would deny one app trying to pretend it's another.

Also the fact it doesn't emulate smartcard means every single software supporting it would have to make a special client so yeah, that's a problem.

"Just" smartcard allows for at the very least GPG signing and SSH agent without much fuss, and also HTTPS client cert auth
Why use Docker for a home server?
I'm pretty sure Quarkus tries to stick as close as possible to Java EE APIs with some limitations to accommodate the lack of runtime reflection, being Red Hat's answer to application containerization for which JBoss isn't a good fit, if it looks like Spring it's mostly because it's a popular style in Java.
It’s still early, plenty of time for that one to be outdone.

> “Layoffs like this can have a more pronounced impact on marginalized communities,” Twilio CEO Jeff Lawson wrote in a memo to employees. “So we were particularly focused on ensuring our layoffs – while a business necessity today – were carried out through an Anti-Racist/Anti-Oppression lens.”

> Lawson did not provide any details about how the company would ensure that the layoffs did not cut deeper into certain groups of its 7,800 worldwide employees. But the move appears to be one of the first high-profile cases of a major tech company taking into consideration — at least publicly — the ways that job cuts might disproportionally affect certain workers.

> According to a study of 800 companies conducted by the American Sociological Review in 2014, companies that conducted “neutral” layoffs erased most or all of the progress they had made in diversity. Companies that relied on a “last hired, first fired” approach to layoffs for example, lost nearly 19% of their share of white women in management and 14% of their share of Asian men, according to report which was published in the Harvard Business Review.

The thing is, they aren't doing it as a selfless act. If I want to get a liberal arts education I can go onto open courseware and get a free education. I know so many people getting degrees to get a job that shouldn't need them. I know many that went from a stem degree to a throw away degree because they felt stem was too hard for them and interfered with their social life.

A real fix for the student loan crisis would be to make a national competency test instead of using a bachelor's degree gauge competence. Then get rid of government backed student loans.

My time in college could have been halved if I could have not taken a bunch of the classes that added no value to my education. Honestly, it's shameful how bad those Gen Ed classes are. They exist to check a box.

And I'd be pretty upset to pay for someone else to get a liberal arts degree, especially when it doesn't contribute anything and could have been gotten for free if the person took some initiative.
Well, we had it, back in the late 90's. You wanted to put a video on the internet for people to see? You put it on your site, and paid the appropriate fee for the space and the bandwidth.

So people wanted to get paid for the content, if nothing more than to cover the hosting costs, and LEPT at the chance to put their crap in some walled garden that handled the monetization. If we had it to do all over again, we'd wind up right back at the same spot.

The only thing that will fix this situation is to force YouTube to charge for subscriptions at a price point that gets rid of the advertising, like Netflix. And then YT can share THAT money with creators. And this goes for every other "free" service where the product is YOU, like Facebook and Twitter.

I still can't wrap my head around how advertising is so valuable that the entire US economy seems to be based on it now. I just can't fathom there's apparently this strong of a correlation between annoying ad campaigns and consumer spending, but it MUST exist, ipso facto.
The American problem is not one of a lack of houses. This is just a symptom.

The American Problem is the combination of Income and Wealth Concentration.

And those problems were created by asset inflation from Central Banks' manipulation of currency, the ideologies of too-big-to-fail and trickle-down-economics, predatory de-regulation, hostility to labor organization, warmongerism and widespread paranoia that only serves to justify the gigantic spending on the industrial military complex, which in turns backfeed into the vast coffers of Wall Street.

America has been engaged for a long time in the biggest wealth and income transfer program in history, too bad it is from the poor and the middle class to the millionaires. It is not a surprise that a lot of people end up living in tents.
Adversity most often instills trauma. Character is entertainment in works of fiction. Character is not often a healthy, well-adjusted person.
My cs department had a lot of fairly expensive computing clusters that got updated fairly rapidly. Lots of embedded boards that got updated less rapidly except that they got fried by students often enough. EE had a lot more expensive lab equipment to be sure. But their profs probably get paid less, not competing with CS jobs. It is still kind of strange toe that EE gets paid so much less. It is so much harder. But we just don't need as many EE I guess?
Thanks you Fastmail for JMAP.

For those unaware, Fastmail was the party who created, built and open sourced JMAP (with many others contributing).

This took over 5-years of work for Fastmail to complete and projects like above wouldn’t have been possible without them.

We take for granted that no other company is advancing the development of email and its open standards, without it being behind some proprietary paywall (Eg Google, Microsoft, HEY).

If you haven’t tried Fastmail, I encourage you to do so. Their web mail client is fantastic (and unbelievably fast).

I'd be reluctant to attribute Gnome development to malice when it can quite easily be explained by incompetence.

Fortunately, Linux has desktop alternatives that are better than Gnome. In fact, you'd be hard pressed to find an alternative that isn't better than Gnome.
Source for this data? 90% of STEM majors do not find a job in their field or STEM? That sounds very high.
Is the Twilio CEO going to step down and have someone else with less privilege take his place? It's always good to lead by example.

You are quite possibly looking at a $4 million dollar device that kept a 1667 foot building from toppling.
What I don't really understand about the ideological basis for crypto and NFTs is that the number of people who are interested in it for reasons other than enrichment through speculation is vanishingly small. This of course circularily means that the value is almost entirely based on speculation.

The other aspect is that adopting these systems just increases inequality since the early adopters are massively wealthy. It doesn't work as a liberating medium. At best it works as a useful temporary measure for poorly run inflationary countries. Instead of being at the mercy of a commercial or central bank, you are at the mercy of a small range of individuals who either hold almost all of the cards or develop and thus determine the monetary policy of the coin in question.
We used to use the same version of applications for years.

It's OK to say this has a serious limitation in that it can't easily support updating applications, but that hardly rules out it being useful at all.
