Sarcastic disclaimer:
I am not backing my statements with facts. I think infinite scrolling websites are already a fact against themselves.

- They might be visually appealing (sometimes) but they are against usability, load and usefulness in general.

- Not even Pinterest (one of the most famous infinite scrollers advocates) allows you to go back to your scrolling level if you refresh.

- They are annoying. Their format fits mostly mobile devices where knowing where you are in a page is perceived differently (and sometimes totally not important).

- Fitting analytics (that make some sense) on infinite scrollers is another pain.

- If I am using a website for anything different from leisure, I want to use its content as a reference for something I need to share or use later.

- They were already despised in 2013:

- They got XKCDed: https://xkcd.com/1309/

Even Google didn't like them, then got used to them:

That means micropython and circuitpython don't work on Macos Ventura.

Apparently the Raspberry Pi Foundation have not even succeeded in contacting whoever it is inside Apple who works on Finder - which is what has done the breaking.

Six weeks down the track and Apple has just left it all as busted. Thanks Apple.

Furthermore, what do you think they're going to do to make it as "safe" as possible. It's funny OpenAI didn't release GPT-2 immediately to the public because of safety worries, but has now been releasing models without the same care for safety and I imagine this will continue with GPT-5

"OpenSSL warns of critical security vulnerability with upcoming patch

We don't have the details yet, but we can safely say that come Nov. 1, everyone -- and I mean everyone -- will need to patch OpenSSL 3.x. "

Quantum computers will be able to instantly break the encryption of sensitive data protected by today's strongest security, warns the head of IBM Research. This could happen in a little more than five years because of advances in quantum computer technologies. "Anyone that wants to make sure that their data is protected for longer than 10 years should move to alternate forms of encryption now," said Arvind Krishna, director of IBM Research.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but does it mean that my KeePass database that I uploaded on Dropbox is going to be broken in ~5 years time and I need to start changing my passwords right now?

FiveTran had a fantastic benchmark on GitHub (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17952205) but I want to hear direct user experiences.

2. How were development tools and third party tool support?

3. Satisfied with performance?

There will be an upstream community version of CoreOS, as Fedora is to Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), but that's still a work in progress. The Project Atomic site will eventually be phased away, but it won't be a dramatic move. The code itself will live on in Red Hat's container code repos.

https://www.theverge.com/2021/1/5/22215381/tile-ultra-wide-band-tracker-apple-airtags-samsung-smartthings
https://www.zdnet.com/article/samsung-announces-smartthings-find-powered-by-bluetooth-and-uwb/

Here is the Product (with anticompetitive platform concerns highlighted below)/Privacy question I have -

Will Apple expose the same location data that AirTags use to locate 3rd party trackers even if the network of iOS devices do not have the corresponding 3rd party app installed? Say for example I don't have a Tile device, but if my iPhone picks up UWB signals utilized by a Tile device (or any 3rd party UWB devices for that matter), am I part of the distributed UWB network that helps 3rd party UWB devices find their owners/provides and subsequently updates the device location?

Here's a scenario - what if a 3rd party product uses UWB signals and someone uses this device device to plant it on someone's car (to stalk them), leveraging the hundred million+ (and growing) iOS UWB capable network to update the location. This is a far more location tracking weapon then anything currently accessible to the public. How could the victim know, especially if its a 3rd party device?

But unless 3rd party integration includes access to the distributed 1+ Billion iOS devices with UWB, 3rd party integration with the 'Find My' app is useless - it's the same old Tile network. The real value is the increasing # of devices (in the 1 Billion+ iOS device pool) that support UWB, as iOS owners purchase new phones. If and how Apple opens up this distributed UWB network to 3rd parties is going to be very interesting.

What is currently the best replacement on Android? I don't mind paying for a reasonable subscription service if its privacy conscious or atleast isn't egregiously anti-consumer privacy. Dark Sky hadn't been as good for the past year but previously it was amazing knowing when rain was starting and stopping down to the minute, so it'd be nice to have great features like that.

I initially switched to Dark Sky and became a paying user due to the controversy of Accuweather's free app taking and selling user's location data without permissions [1] so I'd prefer not going back to their ecosystem. However when I was doing light research when the shut down was announced I couldn't find any good alternatives. Carrot seemed like the strongest contender, but it relies on Dark Sky's API in the background [2] so I don't know if its safe from Apple. After deleting Dark Sky I realized that on my 6 home screens half had some kind of widget with weather data from Dark Sky so I'd really like to get something setup soon.

Unfortunately To-Do requires a Microsoft Office subscription so it no longer works for me. What are some alternatives for Wunderlist users?

On another note, it's a bit sad that Microsoft acquired two of my favorite productivity apps: Wunderlist & Sunrise and has sunsetted both. I really miss Sunrise Meet.

Hey everyone, get in here !!!!

Do you agree with this analysis?
What extra points would you like to add here ?

What are the best practices for requirements analysis that you follow? Why ?

Any good resources about to learn best practices about requirement analysis?

IMHO, it is about damn time!

If your organization still develops for IE8, this is an excellent anchor for the beginning of a plan to end that support.

Most development teams I've talked to support IE8 because of a single client they can't turn down. By talking about the looming security issues and development challenges IE8 presents, as well as their plans for moving off XP, you can help inform and move their process forward.

If you've had success migrating off IE8 or talking to a customer/client about the move, please share your experiences!

I believe that if we want "change" with regards to NSA spying on us, we need to get a broader audience to support citizens rights. This is not only about civil liberty, but also about real jobs being lost.

Are there any effective means to audit trusted CA's in browsers, so that none of these vendors are in the list? Manually reviewing every CA obviously isn't an option.

Does anyone have any good plugin suggestions, or defensive techniques?

Reading this article made me think whether I am actually paying attention to those who write the articles I read.

I can't say much of what I have read on ZDnet has been perfect but, I have read some interesting stuff on there. However, this article caught my eye as it is something I have often wondered. Being a self titled technology news site I was expecting some details/ analysis more in depth than what is given. Thinking this I tried to find out some more about the author and his qualifications to back up what he is writing. Couldn't really find much!

That said, of all the articles on HN I usually take the following to be reliable source.

- Good code
- Good examples
- A decent demo

And I usually don't question anything I read in the top 10 on HN.
