codingminds··on I made a website for lonely people, and got >100 people to log their locations
I suggest to disable the map jump by default or make that information very prominent in the map. This way it felt very broken and frustrating.

But a nice idea :)

codingminds··on Show HN: Generate commit messages using GPT-3
As already mentioned: It depends.

But this might be a good start: https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/#summary

We've used this as a starting point and adapted it to our needs (E.g. some simplification, defining the possible values for scope, etc.)

codingminds··on Using a catch-all domain is a mistake
For such systems I just spell the domain backwards, which sometimes creates interesting things. Until now there was no system that detected this. E.g. gnusmas@domain.tld instead of samsung@domain.tld

Tried to toggle sound, now it's down.

codingminds··on Pivotal launches serverless framework that works across clouds and on-prem
thanks for the answer
codingminds··on Pivotal launches serverless framework that works across clouds and on-prem
That's a very interesting point for me. Our company is in discussion with Pivotal to use PAS or PKS on prem. Do you have a specific example or something similar what was the problem ? I've only seen the slides which should sell the products to OPS guys and the idea looked promising.
codingminds··on O2 outage due to expired Ericsson certificate
I'd find a HN post about this project and it's results very interesting
codingminds··on O2 outage due to expired Ericsson certificate
Certificate monitoring would be a good idea.

codingminds··on Microservices from a Startup Perspective
> Microservices from a startup perspective: don't.

Like staticassertion already mentioned, it depends on the real project and problem to solve.

I've pitched a startup which started directly with an microservice like architecture. It was the best possible approach for the given problem.

codingminds··on Ask HN: Developers, how do you keep SSH and web URLs organized at work?
We use Racktables [0] (currently migrating to Netbox [1]) and a naming scheme like $product-$environment$servertype-$optDetails0[1..n] with a well known set of abbreviations.

So if I need to check the production nameserver it's ns-pdap-01.internal.tld and so on.

codingminds··on Save the nuclear power plants that generate 50% of America’s clean electricity
From 1: The total number of deaths, including future deaths, is highly controversial, and estimates range from "up to" 4,000 (by a team of over 100 scientists[9][3]) to the Union of Concerned Scientists estimate is approximately 27,000 based on the LNT model[10], to 93,000—200,000 (by Greenpeace[11]). Chernobyl: Consequences of the Catastrophe for People and the Environment, published by the Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, but without NYAS explicit approval,[12][Notes 1] is a 2007 Russian publication that concludes that there were 985,000 premature deaths as a result of the radioactivity released.[13]

From 3: It has been reported that 90,000 - 230,000 people were killed as a result of the dam breaking.

I don't see your point

codingminds··on Save the nuclear power plants that generate 50% of America’s clean electricity
Both incidents kill many people. Hydro plant failures in short term - Nuclear plant failures in long term. Both is bad. But additionally nuclear plant failures also make the affected environment for a long time unusable. And I'd say harm more people because of the long term effects.
codingminds··on Save the nuclear power plants that generate 50% of America’s clean electricity
Like with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asse_II_mine ?
codingminds··on Save the nuclear power plants that generate 50% of America’s clean electricity
That's bad of course. But after a short time people can live there again. If something like Chernobyl or Fukushima happens the land is lost for decades and has a very huge impact (fallout, radioactive waste, groundwater contamination, etc.). You may argue that these are just two big incidents but with all the old plants with bad condition (e.g. Beznau, Fessenheim, etc.) in mind I'd say we'll see more bigger incidents in the next years.

In most discussions the time is ignored. Nuclear power plants already produced waste for many generations which is irresponsible.

codingminds··on Some U.S. law enforcement agencies are using GrayKey to bypass iPhone encryption
Sometimes you don't expect such situations/events. And then it's to late.
codingminds··on Backblaze Announces B2 Compute Partnerships
When your European region exists: I'd love to see Hetzner(.com) connected.
codingminds··on ACME v2 and Wildcard Certificate Support is Live
If a given software can't handle TLS it's a fundamental problem of the software / development process and not the fault of the infosec community. Update/change the used libraries and everything will be fine. I've switched a whole distributed system from plain communication to TLS secured connections just yesterday.

Yes sometimes it's pain to solve some TLS based errors and I also miss the opportunity to debug each transmitted packet with tcpdump but I also appreciate it that the continuous focus on TLS improves the tooling and libraries and each day it get's a little bit easier to setup a secure encrypted connection.

codingminds··on Ask HN: Who else uses adblockers for safety?
I use an adblocker because many ads are annoying and consume much CPU and bandwidth. And of course, the security impact is another reason to block all those ad networks but that was not my first intention.

Only very few pages are on my whitelist. E.g. Stack Overflow because they have good ads which are well-chosen.

codingminds··on Double paid traffic
It's more like "Your customers/users ISP (in practice DTAG, Deutsche Telekom AG) doesn't participate much in cost-neutral Tier-1 peerings and instead offers an expensive DTAG peering for additional bandwidth". DTAG can do this because they are (one of) the biggest ISP in germany.
codingminds··on Running the Let's Encrypt Beta
Good point. Interesting, that they never complained about it when we had to resolve some other issues with the cert master
codingminds··on Running the Let's Encrypt Beta
We use StartSSL for many business domains and never had any problems
