Guess I'll have to keep using OpenVPN for a while longer :/

I grew up in a rural village in Germany. The church operated the kindergarten and the retirement home, and ran some youth organizations with stuff like kids' summer activities. One city over the church ran the hospital, like, to the po

I personally know people have made 6 figures in non-senior positions in Berlin working for German subsidiaries of multi-national companies, just "Software Development Engineer". I don't know if that happens through job listin

A real world penetration test is coordinated with the entity being tested.

Yeah that was the idea. I guess a lot of apps don't actually do that and just email you password reset links, in which case you can't actually recover the old password. :<

This is _specifically_ the one place where we require a rotating password too, so I think those experiments are informative.

by ben0x539 6y ago
If you encrypt the prior passwords using a key derived from the current password, you're enabling this sort of check on password change without really sacrificing security, don't you?

Making the job of those engineers harder doesn't sound like a feature.

It's an abstraction over writing out the monomorphized version by hand. Zero-cost doesn't mean using the abstraction gets you the fastest possible implementation of whatever you're doing.

Surely in the preceding decades someone has written an explicit LKML client, that, rather than implementing email and encouraging you to post to LKML, specifically implements the much narrower spec of the locally acceptable post/patc

Having to assume a non-zero possibility that anyone you interact with on HN is secretly Zuckerberg makes the whole experience just that extra little bit spicy, doesn't it

> my boss asks: what is to stop me threatening to resign every time I don’t get my way? Nothing. That's how negotiating an employment relationship works. Holy shit.

Wow, I didn't expect that to be a thing people identify with so strongly in Stockholm of all places.

Can you inspect inputs from terraform resource attributes or data sources in the procedural evaluation?

I feel like restoring a backup is a lot more disruptive than the update just not happening and you being back where you started automatically.

I've used NixOS at home since like 2016. While I haven't used it professionally or for "serious" enthusiast deployments, I don't think I can claim to be a drive-by user. I still insist on using nix-env because it&#x

Ah, it's not a direct argument when you omit the hyphen and fall into "traditional" mode. I think after years and years I can finally wrap my head around how that works. :D

I feel like `jq` does the "more like a language" thing better than `find`, but possibly its just a product of its time.

by ben0x539 6y ago
Yeah but `tar xvzf archive.tgz` also works so I remain wary of tar. Basically every time I have tried to do something that's not tfz or cfz or xfz, it went wrong until I checked the manpage.

This seems pretty "standard": https://fuchsia.googlesource.com/fuchsia/+/master/docs/conce... Is it based on Google's internal preferences?

by ben0x539 6y ago
`find` is weird anyway. The stuff after the arguments aren't really flags, they're a tiny filter language, with significant ordering and operator precedence and all that stuff. Using "normal" option syntax wouldn't

Grandma doesn't care about the year of Linux on the Desktop either because she probably just uses a macbook to manage the server farms that are running on Linux and won't need to hibernate.

Sounds like a great idea. I suggest that as a reference device we use this device sold by my company. :)

Brave having an integrated Ethereum wallet is also reason enough for me to not consider using Brave.

Well, infer that it's not absolute but rather ironically depends on the kind of environment you're developing software for. <:)

Yeah, we have a service that needs to use a proxy for most calls, but one component mustn't use the proxy, in a way that iirc is not properly captured by a `NO_PROXY` entry. Now the abstraction breaks down and the service has some ugly

Okay, so, I don't think the author cares about the situation where your entire system is, like, 1) set env var 2) launch long-running network service 3) never spawn another process inheriting the environment. That's the trivial, h
