hijinks··on Car Quality Is Slipping
i believe it given 2 neighbors own teslas. One neighbor has had his car in the shop longer then he's owned it. The other is on his 5th warranty call.

Yes I'm sure they are outliers but with all new tech people that are early adopters will pay the price.

hijinks··on Ask HN: Who wants to be hired? (July 2022)

  Location: Colorado - Remote only
  Remote: Yes
  Willing to relocate: no
  Technologies: Kubernetes / AWS / Terraform 
  Résumé/CV: on request
  Email: kubernetes_sre@protonmail.com
Resume can be given on demand. I have co-workers that love these threads.

I've been in the Devops/SRE space for 21 years. I've been using Kubernetes in production on large clusters for over 5 years now. I've saved companies 40%+ of their AWS bill by utilizing autoscaling and spot heavily with great success.

Looking for a new role where I'm working in a fast paced environment and help them with their cloud/kubernetes experiences.

hijinks··on Ask HN: Any certification that is worth it? Legitimately helped your career?
as someone in Devops/SRE I hold the same thinking as you. Whenever I see an interview come in loaded with certs, I automatically think they just know how to take tests and study for them.

It's almost 100% that they fail the interview because they don't know how to put the learning into real world solutions.

hijinks··on Launch HN: Rootly (YC S21) – Manage Incidents in Slack
because they want to look at crunchbase and find out how much funding you got then charge you based off that.

I wish companies would boycott companies doing contact us for pricing

ya cell service is pretty bad. I go play soccer t the same fields I bring my kids to. When its adult games I get great speeds. When its practice for my kids and all the adults are on their phones watching youtube, I get such bad speeds at the same location

hijinks··on Kraken shuts down global headquarters because ‘San Francisco is not safe’
in SFs dry season, my friend just leaves his windows open because his car got broken into so many times. Since hes left the window open he doesn't think his car got touched.

hijinks··on ReVanced
best part of vanced was the ability to background youtube so you can listen to music with the screen being locked
hijinks··on Toyota to remanufacture cars up to three times in UK
but i have a choice to not lease
hijinks··on Bob Saget has died
yet somehow Artie Lange is alive
hijinks··on Toyota to remanufacture cars up to three times in UK
it really sounds to me that car companies want a subscription model. Where I will never be able to own a car but I rent one for the rest of my life.
hijinks··on Tell HN: Salary data is for sale
the issue really isn't that it shouldn't be public. The issue is this service allows your new company to request your history so they can see your past salary. So you lose 100% of your negotiating power if they know how much you made and you don't know their ceiling.
hijinks··on Accepted and ghosted: interviewing for a leadership position at Stripe
dont have kids then
hijinks··on Ask HN: Coping with cancer in the family
Can't help much but my uncle had a rare case of cancer in his liver that started to spread. He just wanted to be treated like he didn't have cancer. Sure everyone is different but if he wanted a drink he would try to get it himself. If he couldn't then he'd ask.

My advice is just spend as much quality time with your mom as possible and just be there to listen.

hijinks··on How to Evaluate Startup Offers
i know an early engineer who worked for a well known founder 10 or so years ago.

The company was sold to a large tech company for like 350mil but what happened first is the VCs/founders created a new company and sold the IP from old company to new company and sold the new company for the 350mil leaving the employees with a worthless company.

So also trusting the founders and the VCs they choose are in my opinion more important then any equity grant offer

hijinks··on PostgreSQL 14 on Kubernetes
20 years ago people said the same thing about running DBs on virtual machines.

Now almost all databases are run on VMs

hijinks··on Elizabeth Holmes urged employees to hide Theranos’ lab equipment from inspectors
say what you want about her but if I knew nothing about this company and someone told me the CEO got charged with a crime and she got pregnant after charges were filed.

I'd almost think she is guilty and trying to get a lesser sentence because of having a kid.

As a sane person the last thing I want to do is bring a child into a world where a parent could be in jail for 20 years.

hijinks··on US housing price higher than housing bubble 2008
I've been watching Boise as the canary in the coalmine. You are starting to see it cool down as more listings are on the market now then 3-4 months ago. Homes are going for closer to asking if not under and homes are sitting on the market longer.

If Boise goes south then I feel a lot of other hot markets since covid will go 2-6 months after.

hijinks··on In Chile three border collies are planting seeds (2017)
ya for sure. I ran a dog rescue for 5 years and had a long term older Border Collie and he would go crazy if I picked up his backpack to put on because that means we were going for a hike.

I'd put some weights in it for walks and it made him feel like he was doing something

hijinks··on Launch HN: Exams, tasks, K8, eCommerce, cell sites, health, data quality, travel
$50 a month is a lot of money for a lot of people with mental health issues. I get it's a lot cheaper then normal care by going to see a professional but I was expecting the student pricing I guess
hijinks··on For sleep apnea, a mouth guard may be a good alternative to CPAP
So I have one also. It took me a good 7-10 days for it to feel comfortable enough to easily fall asleep with.

My jaw alignment takes around 20-30 minutes to go back to normal.

I'm around 5 years in using it and i can put it in and fall right to sleep. That said I'm told results really vary for people.

hijinks··on HashiCorp Nomad 1.1 Beta
I always say Nomad is what Mesos should be if you re-wrote it and fixed the mistakes that caused it to "lose" out to Kubernetes.
