What video hosting is best for embedding videos in app, with access control?
I know about Vimeo but is the privacy settings enough so that only members of the app can see the video?

How to keep up with AI/ML as a full stack dev?
I am working with full stack solutions consisting of node.js and React among other things. Different app solutions both for mobile and web. I most often can’t see any use case for AI/ML in our products but I suspect that it is easier to see opportunities when you have some experience with the tools. Any ideas on how I can keep up my learning in these areas so that I stay relevant as a software...

How will this affect companies in a technical aspect? Just no more e2e encryption available in the clients? Or will it be some kind of weird e2e with a backdoor (which is not how encryption works)…
Which cloud compliance tool is the best and most affordable?
None of them seems to have pricing on their websites and it is time consuming to be in sales meetings with all of them just to find out. Do you have any experience with such tools and where does the pricing start for the lowest tier?Companies like Drata and Sprinto among others offer the kind of service that I am interested in.
Re:Where do I find real GPS data to test with?

That openstreetmap data was just what I needed, thanks!
Where do I find real GPS data to test with?
I am developing tools that works with gps data on mobile devices. I would like more data to test with and I wonder if there is any good resource out there to fetch such data. It could be gpx-files, geojson or any other format.In my experience the gps data from mobile phones are much more varying in quality than what I get from an iOS or android simulator and I would like to have more realistic...
Re:Show HN: RevenueCat Paywalls

Alright, I might try it out. When the user cancel iOS the subscription is still payed and valid until the month ends probably. I guess one could delay the Stripe period the same amount of days or something.
Re:Show HN: RevenueCat Paywalls

I might be migrating to using Revenuecat and I am curious about one thing. I have in app subscriptions in iOS and Android. I plan to add Stripe into this mix as well at some point and I wonder if you handle the case when users jump from subscriptions in one platform to another.
I would like to move certain users (for instance by recommending that in a newsletter, or handing out coupons for the Stripe subscription) from their current iOS subscription to Stripe, and it is hard to make the overlap smooth. Does Revenuecat have some solution to this?
Re:Goodreads was the future of book reviews. Then Amazon bought it

I have thought about this relative rating as well. Would it be possible to use? I mean, does it scale? I also have seen some ratings where you can only rate between 5 - 10, I guess since no one ever rates below 5 anyway. I think it kind of works.
How do 1Password store private keys locally when using Okta?
I understand that when using 1password with a regular password, the password (and your generated token) is used to encrypt your public/private key and store them locally, perhaps in localstorage?But you have the option to use SSO with Okta on 1password as well. When using that I don't think that the client is able to use the password for encryption of your public/private key anymore. How does...
Re:Ask HN: Friendly ways of adding ads to app?
on Sunday January 29, 2023 @10:49AM (#34569131)
This is how I intend of doing it. I am more curious of how I could place the ads in the app to make them blend in as much as possible.
Ask HN: Friendly ways of adding ads to app?
I am searching for ways of adding ads to a mobile app in a more user friendly way. I wonder if anyone here has seen any good examples of how to integrate ads in a way that does not disturbe the user.I am thinking more in ways like how a lot of podcasts are doing it, where the host is reading the ad. It feels more like a personal recommendation that way, which I think is better.
Ask HN: How do I get into pen test as a developer?
Earlier this week someone asked why devs seems to not care too much about secure development. I figured that it must be because there is no positive feedback if a system is secure. Only negative feedback when it isn’t.So as a developer I would like to gain more knowledge about how pentesters usually work, so that I can continuously test my own implementations. And because I am curious ofc. Is...
Re:Choosing a Postgres Primary Key
on Friday January 20, 2023 @03:49PM (#34459722)
I only use uuid as PK in Postgres. So many benefits, it is easy to migrate data between environments, client can generate its own ids etc.
I don’t know about performance but I think in most cases that is not a big concern anyway.

Re:Ask HN: How do you choose your usernames?

I am a 1Password user as well. As mentioned in another comment, the last pass username generator is possible to use without an account on their website.
So no, I am not concerned :)

Re:Ask HN: Why arent developers interested in secure coding?
on Saturday January 14, 2023 @09:20AM (#34380497)
Because you never reach any goals that get verified if you develop for security. It is like you only getting punished if the security is weak (you get exploited), but you never know if the security you implemented actually prevented a threat. So there is no real rewards.
Would be interesting to know if there is some kind of reward model out there that solves this.

Re:Why is the JavaScript ecosystem like this

It is not always aspects of stability that are most important. I prefer js because it might be the fastest language to get an MVP out the door, among other things.
Re:Ask HN: How is Discord a better platform than FB?
on Tuesday January 03, 2023 @03:50PM (#34237837)
I can absolutely see that the UI is better than Facebook groups if that is the alternative. But I would like the Reddit style community UI more if that was an option.
Ask HN: How is Discord a better platform than FB?
Just curious since it seems to be a trend to switch to using discord for many communities. How do Discord earn money for instance? Do they sell user data as well?

But these are all closed communities. I just think that it would be a point in having a community that is also searchable from google? Why is closed communities like Discord so popular?

In the spirit of the article, how do you start your own community these days? I think it was phpbb that was popular last time I checked (perhaps 15 y ago).
Re:No, React Native is not the future
on Sunday January 01, 2023 @08:39AM (#34206166)
The thing is that most paying customers are most often on iOS, so target that experience while using react native and you will get some Android users for free. Android users are less likely to pay anyway.
Which service to use for occasional SaaS news?
I wonder which service that is best to use for company information. For instance to communicate uptime issues, software updates and such things. Is it twitter? Or is there other services out there as well?
