It’s not very classy imo to call out someone else for not being classy.

@dang why is this flagged?

Your comment is equally inflammatory to me. Behind the diction and emotionality of the poster, there are some entirely reasonable points that recapitulate the article itself.

Ask HN: Is there something like Java VisualVM for Core Dumps?

It may be due to them testing fairly rigorously before deployment and thereby benefitting from the latest kernel security patches, for example. Google does something similar with Debian internally on workstations.

The last point is just ridiculous. If you use the product for a few minutes it’s clear to see where value-adds exist such as scheduling, alerts, delegating, and having a real team to help with issues, etc. I experience your take thus as qui

Man, folks on HN seem to be developing cognitive issues. Please go reread my comment above.

Worst engineer I knew was an L9 at Google. But he was brilliant. There’s no right way to be a great engineer. If someone tries to tell you there is, they’re full of shit.

Correct, agreed, and the above intended to suggest what it could look like to dismantle and transcend such issues

by leoh 3y ago
tl;dr: it’s a real problem; it’s also one we can transcend and grades themselves and accompanying resentment are the biggest problems ime —- If you find this upsetting, I would recommend taking a moment to consider how cruel grades can be.

That’s a good point. I would guess there are ways of doing static analysis to see if a given binary is making getenv() calls though, even if one doesn’t fully grok its source. Maybe some combo of that with sentenv() in your source or someth

Testing, for one thing… I mean YES you can factor your code (tests, whatever) to make this a non-issue but supposing some person wrote some code 10 years ago in an OSS project or on your team and you start banging into this issue. It’s not

Yeah, it’s lame. Linters and static analyzers should probably warn in addition to updating as much living documentation as possible. And, idk, suggest something like a method with a singleton mutex for getting/setting?

Yes, with the addition that I do feel that we deserve something better than I perceive we’ve gotten so far and that safety is super important; but also I don’t work at OpenAI and am not Ilya so idk
