Sahbak | 2 years ago | on: Marijuana addiction: those struggling often face skepticism

You can and will die if you quit cold turkey from certain drugs. That is the difference.

Sahbak | 2 years ago | on: Actors say Hollywood studios want their AI replicas – for free, forever

I don't know if "sorry" is what I'd feel for Hollywood stars like Tom Holland. I'm not sure what I will feel, if at all, but it is probably not close to empathy.

5. YAML engineers :)

Sahbak | 3 years ago | on: CircleCI says hackers stole encryption keys and customers’ source code

Having gone through SOC2 at two different companies, anyone who takes these certificates seriously is a fool.

Sahbak | 3 years ago | on: ‘Breakthrough’ obesity drugs that have stunned researchers

The fact you're trying to tie obesity to alcohol (Existed for thousands of years) and weed is bizarre, considering the far more natural and obvious link is copious amounts of sugar and hfcs (In drinks, spreads, processed food, etc). A 5 years old kid is not obese because of drugs. He's obese because his parents feed him absolute garbage due to preference, price, eduction, etc. Most modern/western people are hopelessly addicted to sweet

Automatic public transportation will solve a lot of issues.

Sahbak | 3 years ago | on: The Dhall Configuration Language

Don't. Use helm, kustomize or a decent code language. Dhall will constrict, slow you down, make onboarding a nightmare, and ultimately be as brittle as other alternatives (Only it's harder to find where it broke). I cannot advocate against dhall enough.

Sahbak | 3 years ago | on: The Dhall Configuration Language

Just my 2cents - ehen I started at current employer, we had a huge, convulted dhall project for kube. We ended up switching to a real language (python in our case due to reasons, Go is a more correct choice) and are very pleased with the results.

Most attacks are social engineering. Everything else, to the best of my knowledge, does not target passwords

Sahbak | 3 years ago | on: New on Reddit: Comment search, improved search results relevance, search design

I can only recommend aggressively blocking popular subs, ones that are managed by the big mods, and any that have even one political thread that gets a suspicious amount of votes. All actually becomes a source of new interesting content that way.

Sahbak | 4 years ago | on: Show HN: No-code alternative to Retool, Appsmith, Internal, etc.

Don't expect this to change. Most companies realize they can't provide any value for enterprises in that price tier, so they lock SSO behind the most expensive tier. Drives me mad but that's the industry.

Sahbak | 4 years ago | on: iPhone flaw exploited by second Israeli spy firm

Pegasus is legally considered a weapon in Israel and I doubt the government will allow it.

Sahbak | 4 years ago | on: Israel police uses NSO’s Pegasus to spy on citizens

You can argue about it's effectiveness, but NSO does have an ethics committee.

Sahbak | 4 years ago | on: Facebook is planning to rebrand the company with a new name

I find it difficult to believe Sweeney will give up Epic's ownership

Sahbak | 4 years ago | on: Facebook-owned sites were down

Signal has and will go down just like facebook. Cloudflare/aws having issues affects an insanely high percentage of the internet. People still use them. Outages rarely cause anything, they happen, people move on.

Sahbak | 4 years ago | on: AWS US-WEST-2 connectivity issues (amazon.com)

Completely broke our service ECR pulls were broken, ingresses didn't respond properly. Surprised not much noise was raised (Mainly based on eu-west-1)

Sahbak | 4 years ago | on: Incident with GitHub

"Partial Outage". What a fancy way to say everything is broken to avoid SLA issues. (And reporting on git itself last). What a joke.

Sahbak | 4 years ago | on: We don’t use Kubernetes

Not OP, but similar workloads, team of 5 We use kops to deplot and manage the clusters. The hardest part is updating, due to the workloads running on it. Other than that, little to no problems with kube itself.

Sahbak | 5 years ago | on: HN was down

Sometimes, it pays off being extremely simple. In HN, it definitely does

Sahbak | 5 years ago | on: Journalists Hacked with Suspected NSO Group iMessage ‘Zero-Click’ Exploit

That's absolutely bullshit, many tech literate people here are against the weapon industry, which NSO is part of. Enough of them don't give a shit, which is why NSO can hire people from the intelligence arm of the army for ridiculous salaries.
