tinloaf··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (July 2025)
MENTZ | C++ Algorithm Engineer | ONSITE (Munich) | Full-Time

MENTZ builds software for public transit agencies and authorities. One big part of our portfolio is an intermodal journey planning system - think Google/Apple Maps, but with a strong focus on public transit.

We're looking for a C++ backend dev to join the team working on the public transit router. We are currently in an exciting phase where we're working on the current and next generation of that public transit router simultaneously, so this position combines the possibility of having an immediate impact on a widely used product and working on something brand new.

More details (and a way to apply) are available here: https://en.mentz.net/jobs/c-algorithm-engineer-for-public-tr...

If you have any questions, you can contact us at jobs@recruiting.mentz.net.

As far as I understood the U2F standard, the dongles need a FIDO-issued manufacturer key. Do sites accepting U2F just not check that the corresponding signature is present?

Any End-to-End encrypted software. Ensuring a self-destruction on the receiving side is impossible.
tinloaf··on News Feed FYI: Click-baiting
So now you can punish those annoying click-baits by clicking them and then returning to facebook as fast as possible? Nice. Also, this could be used to "punish" legit links someone does not like...
tinloaf··on Bitmask: an open source app to provide easy and secure encrypted communication
Encrypted E-Mail is not the problem, there already are packages that install gpg without any hassle. What must be solved is the problem of which keys to trust. The web of trust just doesn't work. Are there any concepts how to solve this with Bitmask?
