News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

I recommend 'Untrap for YouTube'[1] - it lets you selectively block YouTube UI elements. I use the free to redirect the homepage to my subscriptions feed and block all recommendation algorithms. Now I only see content from channels I've explicitly chosen to follow, with no algorithmic suggestions tempting me to spend more time on YouTube.

The pro version could also provide you the delayed launch that you asked for.

Re:Ask HN: How did you overcome social anxiety? on Tuesday November 28, 2023 @11:54PM (#38455725)
First getting diagnosed, medicated and therapy. CBT is an amazing tool to help you rewire your thought processes and self image. (Access to therapy might vary based on your location/healthcare system but I cannot recommend it enough)

Therapy is only the first step to give you the capabilities to allowing you to effectively “expose” yourself to more social situations like many others have already commented.

All you need is a single disgruntled ex-employee to be bribed by hackers to reveal your complete security design.
Re:Tell HN: MS Teams is censoring screenshots from MS Mail on Wednesday August 18, 2021 @01:39AM (#28218069)
I wonder wether this is actually intentional or just a bug in how screenshot information is saved.

Not surprising seeing how he bought this tank disarmed and was trying to rearm it.

Given the strong gun laws in Germany, I think he's lucky to get away with a fine for illegally acquiring a tank, anti-aircraft cannon, mortar, torpedo as well as an assortment of guns.

There is the "Kriegswagfenkontrollgesetz" (law to control weapons of war) that deals with owning and trading these kind of things.

Comment on rearming: »Ich wollte den Panzer so herrichten, wie er aus dem Werk kam«, soll F. am 12. Juli 2015 gesagt haben. In einem Telefonat am 12. August 2015 soll ihn ein Gesprächspartner daran erinnert haben, wie er ihn mehrfach darauf hingewiesen habe, den Panzer zu demilitarisieren. »Aber Sie, Herr F., sagten: Einen Teufel werde ich tun«, zitiert der Staatsanwalt aus den Protokollen.

Financial data

In basically every case you are querying all data for a symbol in a given timeframe and then process it further outside of the database.

I would look for a position as a lateral hire in MBB tech consulting e.g. McKinsey Digital or BCG Platinion.

Speaking from personal experience you'll learn a lot about communication and presentations.

It only affects new incoming mails as they cannot decrypt the old ones.

My understanding of the German wiretapping law is also that they can only record messages from the point of the wiretapping court order so no older messages can be accessed by it.

If they implemented it properly they could have checked the current password against the revised guidelines on the next login. No need to store it in plain text
Re:How I Run a Company with ADHD on Monday May 13, 2019 @01:18AM (#19896581)
I feel the same way. I've never been diagnosed with ADHD but can relate to all the descriptions of it here.

In the past I jokingly said I need the stress and I think it holds true. In high pressure/thight deadline situations I can work with a high focus for hours but struggle working on projects which are going smooth.

Part of these issues are due to the in-app apple tax. Audiobooks and ebooks would be 15% more expensive.

Searching and buying audiobooks and ebooks works fine on Android where Audible is allowed to provide their own in-app payment system.

Could like point out the studies you mentioned?

The studies concerning long-term impact of surgical checklists I found all claim an improvement.

> Sustained use of the checklist was observed with continued improvements in process measures and reductions in 30-day surgical complications almost 2 years after a structured implementation effort that demonstrated marked, short-term reductions in harm. The sustained effect occurred despite the absence of continued oversight by the research team, indicating the important role that local leadership and local champions play in the success of quality improvement initiatives, especially in resource-limited settings.

Re:Cloud Run beta pricing on Tuesday April 09, 2019 @03:05AM (#19612446)
When you compare Cloud Run vCPU pricing with preemtible VMs it becomes nearly 13x the price.

Most use cases could trade startup delay for reduced costs by running GKE with preemtible nodes and Cloud Run on top of it. Otherwise "normal" Cloud Run and Cloud Run on GKE could be combined into a system where on the first request an instance on serverless Cloud Run is started and simultaneously an GKE Cloud Run instance of the same container is ramped up to take over.

GKE provides it's own dashboard integrated into the GCP console so there is no need for the standard Kubernetes dashboard.
Re:Show HN: Arcentry – Create Interactive Cloud Diagrams on Thursday November 29, 2018 @12:14PM (#18561794)
Most model based UML tools provide this feature. You can create diagrams that show the different component in detail as a white box. In another diagram where you show the interaction between the components, you can reuse your white box diagrams as a single blackbox component object. Clicking on the blackbox element takes you to the white box view of the element.
