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 an…

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)…

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 w…

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 D…

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, …

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 …

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-…

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 l…

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…

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…

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 th…

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…

Regarding non-reliable streams: There is https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-tiesel-quic-unreliable-str... , while it won't be part of the initial standard, it's likely that the work…

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 requir…

After Google presented the protocol to the IETF several months ago, a working group was formed: https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/quic/about/ / https://quicwg.github.io/ There will s…

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 …

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…

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 majo…

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 tha…

parsed (+compressed), not compiled. Parsing is unavoidable, regardless if the code is interpreted or compiled. This proposal seems to further compress the AST somehow. Basically th…
