0xedd··on AWS releases Finch: An open source client for container development
Firstly, why? Secondly, released without Linux support; who is this aimed for, artists?
0xedd··on Wells Fargo suddenly closed my bank account because of an “executive decision”
Corruption and abuse of power. Banks work closely with the gov to weave laws in their favor. A local bank once showed me the legislation saying, bluntly speaking, they can do whatever they want without an explanation.

I'm still praying for a decentralized banking solution to give contest to these criminals.

0xedd··on Mom handcuffed, jailed for 8-year-old son walking half a mile
Yes, the poverty stricken parents have all the time in the world to walk their kids around all day. /s

They'd be lucky to even have two live parents and in the picture.

0xedd··on Mom handcuffed, jailed for 8-year-old son walking half a mile
Middle East.
0xedd··on Tell HN: As a dev, Slack has ruined my life
You are a snowflake. When your propaganda says "PC or die", weak people are born.

Stop consuming MSM completely. Volunteer for "lowly" work such as cleaning toilets. Study meditation at a religious center. You'll grow up.

0xedd··on Psychological and psychiatric terms to avoid
What a load of nonsense.

If one reads the article, one would find the absolute majority of the arguments are plain empty claims with little supporting evidence. Citing a single paper, usually over a decade old, is simply proving the opposite; as what they're saying is "out of the thousands of researches done on X (especially medicine), we only found one paper supporting our modern and liberal claim".

And your example of manhours is utterly detached from reality. Only daft personnel think your points are axioms. Of course manhours are a rough estimate! Of course 9 women don't make a baby in a month. Unless you became an engineer last night, I can only assume you are a liberal warrior regurgitating favorable pieces.

What's next, laws on how to think?

0xedd··on Meta Fined $400M for Treatment of Children’s Data on Instagram
This iteration of the practice. The highest revenue stream is children. Companies making billions off them won't stop at trivial hurdles.

Source: workplace.

0xedd··on Meta Fined $400M for Treatment of Children’s Data on Instagram
If Apple makes phones using kids, buying an iPhone makes you implicit. Despite western narrowed vision. That's not your example.

Your example: If one iPhone was used as a hammer to bash a window, when you make a call, with a different iPhone, you're implicit. Which is wrong.

The idea is criticizing where you put your money. In companies that exploit children, and actively build our generation's "9 out of 10 doctors smoke" mentality, or elsewhere?

0xedd··on Userspace FUSE for macOS
Like buying a tricycle, for the price of a 250cc motorcycle, and wrenching a 20cc engine on it.
0xedd··on ORoaming: Why haven't any other smartphone manufacturers built this yet?
I like it. Thanks for sharing. Good for my old folks who get ripped off at kiosks and local deals.
0xedd··on Odd: Israel Banning Planes with Four Engines
Meh. Doubtful. Israel has trades even with hostile countries "under the table". What's the point hurting local tourism?
0xedd··on Show HN: Wavvy – web-based audio editor (Audacity port)
Niche hardware popular in the US alone? Mild shock.
0xedd··on Ask HN: A job interview you enjoyed?
Debug code behavior using assembly? And deep OOP knowledge? And architecture? They better pay in gold bricks.
0xedd··on ‘We’re going to pay in a big way’: a shocking new book on the climate crisis
Anyone who blames "white patriarchy" for today's problems (which are usually woke delusions) is an idiot. This guy's among them.
0xedd··on MS Teams Linux client is being retired. To be replaced by a progressive web app
Corp propaganda. No one wants extra features. We want basic features working. Client is a hot mess.
0xedd··on They're trying to get me kidnapped and tortured, but Twitter doesn't care
Extremely sad to hear. I don't think Twitter can be used to promote change. Or get your voice to the masses. They only care about propagating their own propaganda.

Leave Twitter. Try one of the mastodon instances, instead. Be anonymous.

0xedd··on Slack’s free plan change is causing an exodus
Does that mean you'll have no problem if Google deletes your email account, GitHub your repos and HN your posts (as well as put all threads behind a paywall)?

Honk honk.

0xedd··on Acorn: A simple application deployment framework for Kubernetes
How do you implement healthcheck?

Does the loadbalancer know how the healthceck is implemented?

How do you determine it's time to scale?

How do you implement always-on-process? service unit, initd, cron?

How do you export the logs?

How do you inject configs? /etc/environment, profile.d, systemd config, /etc/bestestapp/config?

What about secrets?

Service discovery? Is unbound/bind9?

And on and on and on and on.

These items are best done in a standard way. That's a major selling point in k8s. You define and implement these in a consistent way that also integrates seamlessly with other tools. Doubly so on cloud. Less reinventing the wheel means less money. The more teams, the faster this becomes exponentially expensive. Take this into consideration before your next interview.

0xedd··on Acorn: A simple application deployment framework for Kubernetes
Yes. There are enough formats out there.
0xedd··on I Love My PinePhone
Disable sleep state. Problem solved. I daily it as a simple phone and telegram.
0xedd··on Who owns Tesla’s data?
I can think of a few million, if not billion, off the top of my head.
0xedd··on To uncover a deepfake video call, ask the caller to turn sideways
No. Both face the same challenge - quality of data. The rest has already been solved.
0xedd··on To uncover a deepfake video call, ask the caller to turn sideways
Input for software can be anything. Camera feed can be a generated one and the software consuming it doesn't have to be aware it isn't a real physical camera.

Zoom isn't aware.

0xedd··on Technical reasons to choose FreeBSD over GNU/Linux (2020)
Your point about Jails vs Containers (popularized by Docker) is a naive rose-tinted glasses view. Jails is aimed at security and stops at that. To create something like docker-compose or Kubernetes with Jails is nigh impossible.

This "complete software stack" deliverables is what makes the difference today. You deliver software with greater ease. Jails isn't meant for that. Ignoring this point and claiming the same existed for 15 years is wrong.

0xedd··on Denmark bans Gmail and Co from schools due to privacy concerns
You can Google free email services rather than use bing.

Protonmail is one. Free version includes much more than what a student needs. Students can sign up themselves.

0xedd··on Magnasanti – The largest and most terrible city of SimCity
I see myself in the picture and I'm offended.
0xedd··on The Dangers of Microsoft Pluton
So is war. Don't reproduce.
0xedd··on The Dangers of Microsoft Pluton
You are conflating ban and don't-push.

If today it's "obvious" what's bad; When this generation dies off, who is appointed master of the universe and decides what's bad? It won't be you. It'll be the guys with the money; See Pluton. They're already paving the way for just that (at least in tech and what your wallet must must must spend). But, I digress.

You shouldn't ban books. You should teach morals.

My friend, Swim, who is a Jew living in Israel doesn't support banning Mein Kampf. So much so that when Swim's friend ordered it from Amazon, neither opposed it. Curriculum teaches about Hitler's rise to power and the abuse of his people to do so. That's more than enough to understand not to follow in his footstep. Swim's friend was interested in Hitler's political prowess.

I'm not interested in Mein Kampf. But, if someone is, he most surely has the right to read it. Kill the way some fanatics did because of it? No, that's immoral.

Who decides morality? That's complex, I think. But, I also think it is an innate intuition that lives in all of us.

0xedd··on Tesla on autopilot rear ends motorcycle on freeway, killing rider
Hah! I see propaganda has captured you nicely. Cancel culture cuisine; it's enough to claim someone is guilty to indict him. It's his responsibility to prove innocence!

A tangent; Tesla did show their self driving is safe. Doesn't mean it has no bugs.

0xedd··on Tesla on autopilot rear ends motorcycle on freeway, killing rider
So, 100% or not at all? No.
