Yes, the YC startup is hiring posts work differently than other posts on the front page, they're also explained in the FAQ ("Can I post a job ad?" and "What's the relationship between YC and HN?"). The grandpar

This is an incredibly harsh and naive take. Authenticating logins at scale is an incredibly hard problem. There are tons of phishing campaigns and attackers seeking to get access to Google accounts all the time. That they sometimes get it w

Immutability doesn't really solve everything. It provides a cleaner path for retries for writes, but still doesn't handle situations where reads fail. I think the conclusion in the article ("don't do fallback") is m

Uber is also a service that has a much lower tolerance for downtime: If people can't play a game, they're sad. If they're trying to get a ride and it doesn't work, or drivers apps stop working suddenly, the stranded peop

It's obvious when it's pointed out in an article like this. It's less clear when it's one of many changes that could have been happening in a day, and it was an operation that was considered "safe" given that i

In most large cities, there is not a single government which has a monopoly on public schools: there are generally multiple individual school districts which each try to compete for the wealthiest students. That results in some school distr

Streamers and other popular YT channels rely on ad revenue from their YT channels. If they play content-id-ed music, the revenue from those videos might go to the music rightsholders instead. For channels which aren't going to be able

So what's strange here is that these hangs are weeks after Firefox 95.0.2 was released. That points to either DoH provider or some HTTP 3 server triggering the buggy behavior at scale. Either is fairly scary.

Internal recruiters are kind of a necessity, though: hiring managers often don't have skills in sourcing candidates, have calendars filled with other responsibilities, and are generally more expensive per hour than recruiters, for the

Was this linked for the irony of everyone spamming replies advertising their startups which don't solve the problem but kinda-sorta do, resulting in something hard to read and understand?

They don't, though. Users don't reuse session cookies between sites, so another site compromised doesn't mean you have to worry about existing sessions being compromised on your site. Users also don't know their session

This is not a date string. It's a version number. The version number happens to have a date embedded inside it. That's not for the computers, but for the humans looking at it to be able to get some useful information at a glance.

It's kind of natural for what it is: It started off as a version number. Then someone realized that having semantic information of when that version was issued was useful, so they started using YYMMDDNNN version numbers instead. This w

My comment about username/password being harvested was talking about how someone's password can get stolen: you can have malware, password reuse across sites, phishing, or other social engineering. For session cookies, you have ba

I think the post you were replying to was using "pass" to mean "pass on the candidate" i.e. not move forward in the interview/hiring process. The point of such recruiter screens is to avoid an engineer seeing in a c

Yes, I did. Hence why I pointed out one of the characteristics that made it work fine in the scenario mentioned (that it has a relatively small set of users that can be trained), and many of the concerns I mentioned are not particularly app

This has many flaws that make it impractical beyond hobby projects or projects with a small set of users: - It's trickier to throttle credential checks as every request is a login request, effectively - It's hard to easily build a

I'd expect it to be a leading indicator of user growth / churn, yes.

by yuliyp 5y ago
The point of NPS vs free cash flow or operational metrics is that it is in theory a leading indicator instead of a trailing indicator. It's nice (but a bit too late) to know that your business is screwed because your customers left, it

It does prevent inadvertent logging of passwords, though: no piece of software on the server side will have the user's password in memory at any point. Which does mean the user's actual password (if they're reusing passwords)

That's like saying criminals are notorious for being under 6' tall. There exist state-sponsored hacking groups. There also exist plenty of not-state-sponsored hacking groups too.
