tebruno99··on Using a disk-based Redis clone to reduce AWS S3 bill
I want to hate AWS as much as the next guy, but this is nearly the dumbest thing I've seen trending lately. They are paying money for something that is FREE to save a dime.

AWS S3 -> AWS EC2 bandwidth is FREE. To pay money to send the data to DO EC2 and then build a Redis cache to save a few dimes on EC2 that the D.O. Redis cluster now spends is...

just wow.

tebruno99··on AWS announces forks of Elasticsearch and Kibana
Nobody has to use a license. If you don't feel you can afford it, don't use it.
tebruno99··on AWS announces forks of Elasticsearch and Kibana
Its not exploited. There are several other license options Elastic could have used other than the one that says "Do whatever you want".

The license communicates to others how you approve the usage of your copyright work. If you aren't communicating "do whatever you want" don't pick a license that literally says "do whatever you want".

tebruno99··on AWS announces forks of Elasticsearch and Kibana
If you actually do Open Source, you wouldn't feel exploited. You would feel happy that the terms you specified were honored.
tebruno99··on Game Design Curriculum
In 2011 I interviewed for a Mobile position at Riot to make an accessory app for players. I was literally hazed like old school college hazings. At the end they asked me when I wanted to start. I told the lead dev to get lost and he begged me to "not be like that" but said if I was going to "be like that" then I wasn't a good fit anyway.

It is still to this day one of the worst experiences I've encountered.

tebruno99··on Game Design Curriculum
In this case because they are positioned to become a form of role model of these students. Who will eventually find out that their favorite company can be horrible to negligible consequence.
tebruno99··on Game Design Curriculum
I agree, sorry.
tebruno99··on Game Design Curriculum
Bad joke sorry
tebruno99··on Amazon gets priority while mail gets delayed, say US letter carriers
There is other mail than Amazon packages?
tebruno99··on Stacked images of the comet, photobombed by Starlink satellites
It was caused by stacking incorrectly in photoshop to begin with.
tebruno99··on macOS Big Sur Preview
It was all the rage in news a few weeks ago, and it is true. Apple sends the hash of every script and executable you run as part of its notification process (even command line commands & scripts)
tebruno99··on Executive Order on Preventing Online Censorship
Maybe they are fact checking Biden and it doesn't seem like it cause they come up empty. LOL
tebruno99··on Executive Order on Preventing Online Censorship
Ah yeah, so it's Twitter's choice if they lose 230 protection or not. Keeping doing this lose it (and they become liable and start censoring everything including Trump), or don't do anything, let humanity drain into a crap hole but keep making $$
tebruno99··on Trump signs executive order targeting protections for social media companies
If they make Twitter liable for content this way, Twitter will have to delete his account ;)
tebruno99··on Executive Order on Preventing Online Censorship
Didn't the GOP just not a few months ago argue that a business couldn't be forced to make a Cake for a Gay wedding?

Now they want to argue that they can force a business (Twitter) to do something that business (Twitter) doesn't want to do?

tebruno99··on Executive Order on Preventing Online Censorship
Wouldn't taking away Section 230 thus making Twitter liable for content posted on Twitter have the opposite effect that Trump is going for.

Twitter will be liable for content posted, therefor won't they start censoring things so they can't be sued? This would make them also liable for Trump's tweets if those tweets aren't removed...

tebruno99··on MacOS Catalina: Slow by Design?
I use and upgrade IntelliJ fine. Install Jetbrains Toolbox and everything is installed in your home dir. What kind of locations are you having troubles with?
tebruno99··on Gnome is not the default for Fedora Workstation
Gnome is the default because it is controlled by Redhat, just like all the other “defaults”
tebruno99··on Close Look at CSRF Tokens
Docs are a great way to overview. You never know what the actual implementation is doing and I find that having actual hands on experience helps me solidify the knowledge into relatable experience.

If you don't care why, read the docs. If you want to understand HOW, read the code.

tebruno99··on Close Look at CSRF Tokens
Ah! Thanks, I've been looking for the exact definition!
tebruno99··on Close Look at CSRF Tokens
What I don't understand is why store it server side? If we make a HTTP Only + secure cookie containing the encrypted and signed csrf value, it can't be obtained by an attacker & the server would require no state or shared cache between instances. It would just compare the HTTP only cookie to the value submitted with the form. On response, expire that cookie.

Does anyone know of a downside to that?

tebruno99··on Google Kubernetes Engine is introducing a cluster management fee on June 6
Now I'm not sure what sure what we were paying for when we paid for our cluster? Isn't the price we pay to use/build the cluster the payment for the cluster?
tebruno99··on Musicians algorithmically generate melodies, release them to public domain
I'm pretty sure that 2 works independently created that are the same, both own the copyright. An infringer has to have had access to the work he/she is being accused of infringing.

In Katie Perry's case it was claimed because the Youtube video of the accuser was viewed 3M times on Youtube she could not say she never had access.

An algorithm can't have access, so imo both parties would own the copyright (if an algorithm can own a copyright)

tebruno99··on Musicians algorithmically generate melodies, release them to public domain
Part of the law is that the infringer has to have had access to the work that he/she is accused of "stealing"

An Algorithm has no access and could have never heard the work in question..

tebruno99··on Ubiquiti adds phone-home to the access point firmware
Software is complex and bugs happen everywhere, the firmware wasn't even released yet (it was an opt-in beta) when the bug occurred. I don't like this any more than the next guy but beta is BETA for a reason, to find bugs.
tebruno99··on Mac OS Catalina: more trouble than it’s worth
Why would you try it? Some of us lose money when our machines go down. Apple is supposed to represent quality, but that hasn't happened in so long that if your machine is the machine you make money on, you wait to hear what other people are encountering.

Thanks for being my beta tester!

tebruno99··on Mac OS Catalina: more trouble than it’s worth
My iMac Pro went into reboot loops every 20 minutes. Even after a clean install. Then I lost a lot of mail even on a clean install.

Its pretty much crap. I'll wait until 10.16 is out and then upgrade to the 10.15 that isn't crap.

tebruno99··on The PGP Problem
So far there has been a lot of hate on Hacker News about PGP. I'm sure most of it is true, maybe we shouldn't use PGP. However, every single one of these that offers suggestions cops out at end about encrypted files leave people with.. PGP.
tebruno99··on Go is Google's language, not ours
Down vote me all you want. Been writing production software in Go for nearly 4 years and have never asked or needed Generics. Saying that there isn't a community because Generics are wanted by "some people" is daft.

The whole point of Go is to be small and opinionated and committees can only produce outcomes that are large and inclusive of all opinions.

tebruno99··on Go is Google's language, not ours
Um, Yeah, GOOD! This demand for Generics is pure sheep brain garbage. Once you learn to write software properly you find only like 1 or 2 small use cases where Generics might actually help
