That should be rather easily doable but finding a company obviously depends on what you're looking for. Most likely you're in Software Engineering? If so, with which preferences and specialities? Here at SumUp we're hiring fu

At least for atomic access, I still believe that using wrapper types that prevent non-atomic access are the better idea: e.g. https://github.com/julienschmidt/atom (or uber/atomic). That already ensures safe acces

I really appreciate the work that is done to improve the database/sql package. It is still rather young and not as mature as for example JDBC. I would rather thank the people who work on it for the work they do, than to point fingers f

Bug #3 (The race) was silently introduced by a semantic change in Go's database/sql in January 2018: https://github.com/golang/go/commit/651ddbdb5056ded455f47f9c... It took until December of the s

I feel like this should require the user's explicit permission, just like audio, camera, location or Flash and Java Applets at the end of their life. WebGPU is a great innovation, but we have both privacy and security concerns here. It

Take a look at https://github.com/joohoi/acme-dns/ (which of course still requires trust in the client lib) We do something similar, although not through a REST API. We handle all this cert management centralized

ACME is an open protocol (and very soon it will be an IETF Internet Standard too). There are many alternative implementations. Just find one you trust. We actually did our own DNS-based implementation for our infrastructure.

This blog post doesn't answer likely the biggest of all questions: Will there be breaking changes? If so, how will those be handled? "As a rule of thumb, we should aim to help at least ten times as many developers as we hurt with

That's just BS. (IETF) QUIC was developed from scratch by an IETF working group. Google submitted its (Google) QUIC version as input, however the IETF version is not directly based on it.

AFAIK the proposal for HTTP-over-QUIC was to race with a TCP connection. Similar to Happy Eyeballs for IPv4/IPv6 dual stacks (meaning we could end up with 4 connections attempts?).

microG is certainly not perfect and I wouldn't recommend it to the average user. Expect some things to not work or even certain apps to crash. It's a techie-solution for people who value their privacy highly.

Android (the Android Open Source Project) itself is not the Problem. It's the lock-in ecosystem that Google tries to establish with the Google Services Framework, Play Store and the like. What is missing, is an open and privacy-friendl

The title should start with "Show HN:", followed by something more readable than the repo path. E.g. "Show HN: Test your sysadmin skills"

China still also has Dida Pinche. But I agree, before Uber left the Chinese market, there was more pressure to be customer friendly. And the regular promos (with ridiculous amounts of free rides) where also nice from a customer perspective.

Lower connection establishment latency: SCTP over UDP using DTLS requires 4 roundtrips (that's worse than standard TCP) while QUIC (which includes DTLS like encryption) only requires 1 roundtrip for the first connection and 0 RT for su

PPTP is obsolete and fundamentally insecure. And that isn't news but known at least since 1998 (!): https://www.schneier.com/academic/pptp/ It is unlikely that it would be blocked in China since eavesdropping

For Hotel bookings, many (all?) Expedia subsidiaries seems to be just a different UI for the same offer with slightly different prices since they target different users (premium vs budget etc). All bookings are made under the name Expedia.

Neither Ctrip nor eLong are owned by Priceline / Expedia. They invested in the respective companies and own a stake, but Chinese law prevents that any foreign company owns the majority of any Chinese company. (Yes, even the Chinese McD

Likely she searched for the name "porter" at some point suggesting that she is interested in people with that name. Combined with 2nd and 3rd degree phone and email connections that might be a strong indicator for FBs algorithm.

Open an issue on the repo and suggest it! I assume it is a bit difficult though, since the encryption is performed in the browser. Thus API clients had to perform the exact same crypto to use this service.

The problem is that none of the default protocols work in China. Either they are blocked via DPI in combination with techniques like TCP RST injection / null-routing of the destination IPs, or they are known to be insecure, like PPTP (
