New top story on Hacker News: Ask HN: Where do you hang out virtually online?

Ask HN: Where do you hang out virtually online? 4 by codemonkeysh | 0 comments on Hacker News. In the past, the place to be to connect with like minded people was on IRC; in particular ##java Now with Slack and Discord, I haven't found a community of folks who are building products, ideas, sharing thoughts, talking tech, talking lessons learned about growing their company, virtually collaborating on problems by sharing ideas, etc. This has created a bit of tension mentally for me. The feeling of being caged up with no physical cage. There was a Slack group for startups by Jason a while back, but that looks to have died off.

New top story on Hacker News: Ask HN: How do small companies do recruitment?

Ask HN: How do small companies do recruitment? 3 by lbriner | 2 comments on Hacker News. I am based in the UK and find it hard to find good developers/designers/product people. Although we advertise on our web site, unless people are looking quite specifically, they are unlikely to find the adverts (unlike FANGs which would attract candidates directly). Also, Recruiters tend to be a poor and expensive solution. It is hard to tell the good from those who just claim to be good and we get a lot of noise from them. Also, I'm not sure that the best candidates just call a random recruiter to find them a job. What are others doing to both find jobs and to recruit?

New top story on Hacker News: Ask HN: Have you ever been “poached” internally? Is this even a thing?

Ask HN: Have you ever been “poached” internally? Is this even a thing? 9 by dvtrn | 9 comments on Hacker News. A few jobs ago a coworker of mine, a fellow Senior Site Reliability Engineer who-like I-was frustrated with how our company manifested 'Devops', and also-like I-had zero interest in trying to play the 'hearts and minds' game of undergoing a devops transformation did something stunning (to me): Because we were embedded with different development teams, we attended their stand ups and got intimate knowledge of what they were working on. This friend of mine decided one day he'd pick a random ticket from this team's backlog, and assigned it to himself. He worked it, he wrote the code, followed all the same testing and QA steps the dev team did, merged it in, it got deployed. Some would argue "this is what SRE's ought to be doing in the first place" and I agree, but lived experience has shown me the philosophy of Google's SRE way either ...

New top story on Hacker News: Tell HN: Full macOS reinstall because Apple ID

Tell HN: Full macOS reinstall because Apple ID 36 by adabaed | 29 comments on Hacker News. Hello! Just wanted to share what just happened to me, maybe some Apple SWE here can take a look at this. I recently changed my macbook and created a new Apple ID for the new machine. For work, I like to have a unique ID and not reuse old ones. The problem is that, today, after 2 days of "use" (the first time the laptop is charged is to reinstall everything), Apple decided without notification that my account should be blocked for "security reasons". I tried to reset my password, but they blocked the whole account, it seems to me that they even deleted the account from the database as they could not locate the ID of other information (name, mail, etc.). Coming from another OS, one can imagine that you can swap two IDs and continue, but ... NO! Here you need to provide a password to log out, but since my account has been deleted, I don't have any password. Also, one can i...
