New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: Muse 2.0 with local-first sync

Show HN: Muse 2.0 with local-first sync
8 by adamwiggins | 76 comments on Hacker News.
Hey HN, I want to share with you something I and my four colleagues have been working on for the last several years. It’s a whiteboarding and notes tool called Muse[1]. We just released a 2.0 version which includes local-first sync. A little backstory: I’m one of the authors of the 2019 essay Local-first software[2]. (Past HN discussions[3][4].) The thesis is to reclaim some of the ownership over our data that we’ve lost in the transition from filesystems to cloud/SaaS. So I’m excited to bring CRDT technology “out of the lab” and into a commercial product as a chance to prove the value of local-first in real-world usage. As a developer and computing enthusiast, I care about abstract ideas like data ownership. But for most users I think the benefits of local-first will surface in how it feels to use the software day-to-day. One example is ability to work offline or in unstable network conditions: any changes between devices will be automatically merged when you reconnect to the network, no matter how long you’ve been disconnected. Another area is performance. The sync backend was written by my colleague Mark McGranaghan who has written extensively about software performance[5][6] and why we think the cloud will never be fast enough to make truly responsive software. A few technical details: – Client-side CRDT written in Swift, streaming sync server written in Go – Sync server is generic, doesn’t have any knowledge of the Muse app domain (cards, boards, ink, etc). Just shuffles data between devices – Transactional, blob, and ephemeral data are all managed by this one single state system. For example ephemeral data (someone wiggling a card around) for example, isn’t even transmitted if there are no other clients listening in realtime. More in this Metamuse podcast episode.[7] We draw heavily on research from people like Martin Kleppmann, Peter van Hardenberg[8], and many others. A huge thank you to this wonderful research community. Even if you have no interest in the Muse concept of a digital thinking workspace, I’d encourage you to try the free version just to see how local-first sync feels in practice. My opinion is that is fundamentally different from web/cloud software is well as from classic file-based software—and an improvement on both. Would love to hear what you think.

16 by miguelrochefort | 9 comments on Hacker News.
I have thousands of online accounts, hundreds of thousands of saved items (likes, bookmarks, papers, books, movies, videos, photos, files, open tabs, tasks), hundreds of inbox and feeds, and they just can't seem to stop growing. Inbox zero is now a rare occurrence, only made possible by abusing Gmail's snooze function. My phone, laptop, and clouds are full. Using personal finance analogies, should I: - Reduce my spending (unsubscribe, stop consuming feeds)? - Pay back my debt (consume the saved items)? Perhaps using the debt-snowball method? - Get more credit (file storage) so that I can spend (save items) more? - Declare bankruptcy (delete everything)?

Ask HN: What to do about ‘Good at programming Bad at Leetcode’
34 by mikymoothrowa | 77 comments on Hacker News.
Over the past few years I've met people who are really good programmers when it comes to putting together a full back end system , creating a very nice front end or creating any kind of app for that matter. Many of these people are fresh out of college and the ‘industry’ puts them through leetcode/hackerrank style rounds that are needlessly hard. I’ve seen the kind of questions these rounds have and quite frankly, if I graduated this year, there’s no way I’m going to get a job. Ever since 'Cracking the coding interview' was released, every company's interview process has become like Google's and Google didn't have a particularly great interview process to start with.[0][1] Now, there are several GitHub repositories that prescribe 3-4 month grinds on leetcode questions to "crack" the interview. And people do go through this grind. The people who do manage to crack these rounds are not necessarily good at programming either because the time they spent doing competitive programming stuff should have been spent learning to build actual things. The no-whiteboard companies are very few, hardly ever seem to have openings and not hiring junior engineers. What would be your advice be to fresh college graduates, or anybody for that matter, who are good at programming but not at leetcode? Surely there must be a way to demonstrate their understanding of algorithms without having to spend 3-4 months memorising riddles [0] homebrew creator.. https://mobile.twitter.com/mxcl/status/608682016205344768?lang=en [1] Zed Shaw gets offered a sys admin job https://ift.tt/m51F3Rk

New top story on Hacker News: Google's most ridiculous trick to force users into adding phone number

Google's most ridiculous trick to force users into adding phone number
122 by vort3 | 69 comments on Hacker News.
"To help keep your account secure, starting May 30, 2022, Google will no longer support the use of third-party apps or devices which ask you to sign in to your Google Account using only your username and password." What does it have to do with phone numbers, you might think? Well, it's not that obvious. I have beed using FairEmail app to read emails on my phone for many years. Recently, Google made this change, so I thought I need to take some actions to make sure I can continue using my favourite email app. After reading a bit, everything looked pretty simple: - I could add my email account to my phone and login using google's native authentication methods, or - «you can use an app password, please see below.» Sure I don't want to add google's account to my phone just to be able to receive emails via IMAP, so I'll just generate separate app password for my email app, right? Well, for some reason it's not possible to generate app passwords unless you have 2FA enabled. The option is just not there. What can be simpler than adding 2FA to my account? I use password managers and my passwords are super strong, but I have no other choice, I'll have to use an authenticator app to continue reading emails on my phone, doesn't make much sense but anyway… You can't just scan a QR with TOTP secret and enable 2FA for your account. Well, you can, after you enable 2FA by SMS using your phone number, or 2FA by notification on the phone, after you add google account to your phone. But using an authenticator is an «additional method» which is not available until «primary» 2FA method (SMS / phone number) is added. Oh, you can give away your phone number first, enable 2FA, after 2FA is already enabled you can remove 2FA by SMS and keep using authenticator app as your 2FA method, it's simple. I guess I'll just have to stop using google. Thanks for making my life more difficult and caring about my security, Google. TL:DR; You can't use «less secure» apps (apps other than official gmail app) to sync emails if you don't want to link your account to your phone number or add google account to your phone.
