joantune··on A mathematician's way of converting miles to kilometers
it's good for a gag - but it's much simpler to just go and add half of the number + a tenth to convert from miles to kms

ahah
joantune··on How to do hard things
Yes!! I got introduced to the concept of Double loop learning in a management class in College - and was able to apply it successfully after not being able to get the grade I wanted in some courses - then I realized that the issue was with what I was doing - not with how tight or efficient I was at doing it!

Couldn't recommend this more

joantune··on The Looking Glass – Holographic Display
That's not holography, period. Let's call things by their names.

They do not build an interference pattern which models the light waves as the object was there.. though that kind of technology isn't that far away.

As someone who used to do holograms, I was quite excited to read the headlines - but once you read more into it - you see that it's just a trick, 'gimmick' even if it works well - it's not pure holography, so, please, don't use that name.

joantune··on Look ma, no locks
This sounds a lot like going from the Lock/Mutexes/Semaphores paradigm into an Actor system.

OP - i.e. @ingve - it might be interesting to take a look into some strategies - like the pull one - on Actor systems like AKKA

I actually thought of doing something like this once upon a time.

Isn't it part of the law that you should have a record from where the person is? do you store that or sign such info in any way?

Thanks Tepix!

Will be taken care of

Freudian slip, this is a Russian scam!

j.k. updated it the post! thanks and cheers!

BTW, because of fears of that is why I allow anonymous usage.

Did you get a change to try it out? WDYT?

joantune··on Show HN: Receive Alerts when your Server's software has Security Vulnerabilities
CI/CD or even the CVS repository (Git e.g.) - as a hook or with full access is on the lines I'm thinking about. Thanks & Cheers!
joantune··on Show HN: Receive Alerts when your Server's software has Security Vulnerabilities
yup, yes, definitely going to. Even the secureit.io is not very clear on it. If you have any more insights let me know. Cheers
joantune··on Show HN: Receive Alerts when your Server's software has Security Vulnerabilities
Hmm, interesting. Automated threat analysis, how exactly would that work? Like the configuration OVALs? If I'm not mistaken Red Hat has quite the support via OVALs to some of the PCI requirements.

Regarding the card processing environment, what does that usually consist of? Linux servers?

You can reply to info@ SecureIT or here. I'm interested in knowing more.

Cheers

joantune··on Show HN: NullAuth – A proposal for password-less authentication
Keybase had something for that if I'm not mistaken
joantune··on Show HN: NullAuth – A proposal for password-less authentication
A couple of things:

What happens when/if your private key is compromised? All accesses will be compromised All accesses need to be rekeyed

Some factor that's unique to the service would help to minimize this, something of an unique extension to the public/private key, something like two keys for the service, the general one and the other one (this is something other than your password, so the server would still need no password)

Tooling is key . Not only being able to manage all those public/private keys but also backing them up and make sure that they aren't lost. Or perhaps using email or other channel to reset them

Keybase could probably be an excellent tool to manage such key.

This is still a tad raw, and somehow user experience isn't factored in. We have a very powerful computer with fingerprint recognition in our pockets, why do we still need to type in passwords? (think WhatsApp web login)

joantune··on Show HN: Receive Alerts when your Server's software has Security Vulnerabilities
Hi!

You don't need to sign up to use the app. The 'try it' mode allows you to generate and see the reports without signing up. To setup the alert though, you will need to input an email. But you're right, it should show the process upfront. That explanation is on the works and will be on the next version of the frontpage and/or the TryIt part.

Meanwhile you can set a phony email although you won't get the email with the alert of course to see how the process works. But I would love to know what you thought of it through the chat or here.

The link to the try it mode is: https://beta.secureit.io/tryit (or click above)

Cheers

I searched and I did not know about them. Thanks for letting me know. These are actually the first paying service I have seen on this (at least the server side, I had seen it for webapps).

I'll probably start out with Java/Scala on the webapp side and on the server side I'm thinking of an easy to use support for Kubernetes and Rancher OS. If that's more around your ally subscribe there on the website or here.

I'm curious on what is your company, regardless, any pain points that you might have noticed while using AppCanary, or suggestions on SecureIT?

joantune··on Join the Battle for Net Neutrality
Either:

There are lots of fellow hacker news readers (with significant karma) that don't know a thing about Net Neutrality.

Or: this thread is full of FUD bots to push against Net Neutrality

No, no, no.

CDN is different than throttling your Internet.

A CDN is like having a local power generator in your neighborhood, throttling your Internet is like charging your house more for electricity, because the electrical company prefers your neighbor.

I skimmed the page up and down and couldn't find what it was all about.

And I redid that same thing before posting the TL;DR;

TL;DR anyone?
joantune··on Upterm – A terminal emulator and interactive shell based on Electron
Autocompletion for env variables is great:

i.e.

`cd $THAT_ENV_DIRECTORY`

however I always get

`The directory "$THAT_ENV_DIRECTORY" doesn't exist. `

although clearly it does as it is autocompletion suggested

that autocompletion is great!

it would be awesome if you had some way to support more commands - especially if done in a more automatized way.. parsing the manuals (?)

does hyper have autocompletion ?

I really think the auto completion benefits can easily outweigh the performance penalty of running a term on top of Chromium

We have configured at work an intermediate postfix for this effect, but it takes a bit to learn how to configure it

So I can see the benefits of this approach
