TruthWillHurt··on We don’t use a staging environment
Awesome. you just cost your company $500K in salaries for people to maintain databases, networks, storage, servers and a bunch of other stuff Google/AWS already do much better than you.

How lucky you are that management pays you to pursue your hobbies!

TruthWillHurt··on Linux: Vulnerabilities in nf_tables cause privilege escalation, information leak
I'm going back to kernel 2.6 .
TruthWillHurt··on A magical AWS serverless developer experience
Using "portable services" is a non-cloud pattern and a return to 2008.

If you're not using managed services, i.e running your own database, backups and all - you might as well use bare-metal.

TruthWillHurt··on Show HN: I’m Building a Nerf Dart Missile Defense System [video]
Good luck!

I highly recommend watching the video from Stuff Made Here where he builds a bow "aimbot" to hit targets mid-air. Very similar problem.

Ah, shame. I mean - good for you and amazing work! I was hoping to apply to work for such an innovative and brave company :D

What company is behind Polylith?
TruthWillHurt··on MarketRank: Anti-SEO Ranking Algorithm
HN is a market manipulator in its own right as it's controlled by YC and sometimes favors post related to startups they have a stake in.
TruthWillHurt··on Free and open source 2D and 3D game engine
Used it on Ubuntu and Mint, 18 & 19.

Installed via Unity Hub downloaded as an appimage.

I can't find the download link apart for this one - https://forum.unity.com/threads/unity-hub-v-1-0-0-is-now-ava...

TruthWillHurt··on Free and open source 2D and 3D game engine
I find the Unity UI very convenient and simple (compared to Unreal), and I develop on Linux, for Linux without a hitch.
TruthWillHurt··on C Package Manager
This is amazing. Coming from Python and Node, this makes C so much more usable to me!
TruthWillHurt··on Advice on accessing BBC News
True, but I'd say blocking network access os also a valid restriction by the owner.

And that's the key difference here - restricted by owner.

TruthWillHurt··on Advice on accessing BBC News
"less neutral than AlJazeera (when it comes to non ME matters)"

Good thing you made that exception...

TruthWillHurt··on Google Ads suspended me and turned a deaf ear
We should organise a global protest in front of Google offices. Let them try ignore that!

It could also be due to a DNS redirect.

I hosted a page on AWS S3 bucket exposed to the web, and had my domain CNAME record point to the bucket public-facing DNS name.

Triggered the same Circumventing ban.

TruthWillHurt··on EEG Cat Ears (2018)
Nice project, but obviously from the single electrode and its placement, the only EEG signal you'll get is eye-movement artifacts...
TruthWillHurt··on Show HN: I made a web game called Almost Pong
Genius.
TruthWillHurt··on Heline – Code search for modern developer
other than bigger index, I'd recommend a wait time when user is typing.
TruthWillHurt··on Pyflow – Visual and modular block programming in Python
Also, would be great to have generic condition & state functions, so the flow can define a state-machine.
TruthWillHurt··on Pyflow – Visual and modular block programming in Python
Cool. Now the question is where does it run, and can we split blocks to serverless functions, or have a "cluster-mode" where each block can be executed on dedicated/specialized/available node.
TruthWillHurt··on Prime Video Uses WebAssembly
Prime Video app sucks. Spend less time over-optimizing, more time improving usability.
TruthWillHurt··on Get to Know the New Topics API for Privacy Sandbox
You're forgetting the core - Chromium - is open-source.
TruthWillHurt··on WebAssembly: The New Kubernetes?
WASM is like K8S in that 90% of projects don't need it.
TruthWillHurt··on Totenpass is a permanent digital storage drive made of solid gold
Platinum. more expensive, and we all know expensive means it's good.
TruthWillHurt··on Ask HN: Have you found something you love to do? If yes how?
That's a big part of my problem - as a generalist I know many things, but am not an expert on anything specific.

Taking on a focused role leads to disappointment and loss of self esteem.

TruthWillHurt··on Ask HN: Have you found something you love to do? If yes how?
That's pretty much the tech scene in London right there..

"We're creating a new way for super-rich people to access their swiss bank accounts!"

Yey...

TruthWillHurt··on Tell HN: AWS appears to be down again
Amazon shifts the responsibility for multi-AZ deployment to us customers, saving themselves complexity and charging us extra - win-win for them.
TruthWillHurt··on AWS Tools Suck
Uh... what?

Have you tried the serverless tooling from GCP? doesn't hold a candle to AWS SAM.

TruthWillHurt··on Ask HN: My client want an agent on my laptop. Is this the new normal?
If you freelance via upwork this is a normal thing. Odd for contracting though.
TruthWillHurt··on Ask HN: Are most of us developers lying about how much work we do?
I get what he's saying. I myself am not so pretty, but I carry myself with pride and have that "alpha male" attitude. I speak with confidence, humor and a bit louder than others -

And that lets me get away with a lot of slacking off.
