I can point out one thing:

That was the top request in their March AMA:

I wouldn't hold my breath, though.

I think blaming this on impulse control is self-serving.

I expect those with lower incomes tend to feel more oppressed and unhappy. They work hard every week but it's always paycheck to paycheck, and they always feel beholden to their employer. They don't have the financial freedom to _really_ control their lives in any significant way.

So perhaps they compensate by seeking fulfillment and distraction with netflix and video games. There has to be some outlet for all of their frustration, some way of mitigating that feeling of helplessness.

I live with a guy that has worked at Walmart for 13 years. He comes home absolutely exhausted. I don't know how he keeps going, but I have to think that indulging in movie theater visits and other forms of entertainment/distraction may actually be vital to maintaining his mental health.

Seems like a misleading headline. He reverse-engineered some software to control some LEDs on his motherboard, I guess.

From the title, I thought he would be dumping the schematics+firmware+etc of a motherboard, which would be pretty interesting.

Agreed, violence as a response to disobeying law enforcement has been normalized in the US, regardless of context/circumstances.

De-escalation and common sense are more often replaced by brute force.

I really don't like when people use "full disclosure" as an excuse to advertise.

Like this 850 page behemoth that I wrote a driver for:

http://web.archive.org/web/20110701163842/http://www.broadco...

So many undocumented pieces and workarounds for silicon bugs, etc. Luckily there is a Linux driver to refer to, but still...yuck.

I think they could have picked a name that doesn't conflict with GNOME Virtual File System (GVfs).

You could buy fairly anonymously via certain methods on localbitcoins.com (or in person, etc).

This is inflammatory bait and not HN-quality discourse.

Try our blanket today! It is best blanket, used by astronaut!!

I wish you would name the companies so I can avoid them.

> a single digit percentage of these jobs actually sound like there might be people who can interview for those if one had to check all tick marks on the skills and experience requirements faithfully

This has been my experience as well. It seems every job is for a Senior with 5 years of experience in 10 specific technologies.

What happened to the days of on-the-job training? Or was that ever a thing in the IT realm?

I don't think there's any C++, it's just referring to the C headers above.

The code gives me flashbacks to working with the Windows API.

Cool project though and it's nice that they already have a handful of drivers.

EDIT: To clarify, I'm not saying it's bad at all, they're just using a very verbose naming convention that I don't particularly like working with.

Convinced me, just closed my upwork account.

I think I used ZMODEM to pull a core dump off a McData FC switch a couple years ago. Used the core dump to recover the password for the switch.

I think it's often a combination of technical and non-technical vectors.

Here's a video of Phineas Fisher hacking a police union a while back:

You're getting downvoted but I agree with you, the parent is jumping to a ridiculous conclusion and lacks perspective. I expect he has not had many difficult times.

Save me some time, thanks!

I suspect it's the social aspect that would make a hack like this relatively easy.

It's really easy to get in to a network when there are hundreds or thousands of individuals you can target via phishing, etc.

On the other hand, targeting just _your_ machines could prove more difficult since there's only one of you.

> How does Kubernetes handle updates safely?

It supports rolling updates where one pod (this means container, usually) is updated at a time, with traffic being sent to other pods during that time.

I think the best practice right now is to use a Deployment (alternatively you can initiate a rolling update manually). Using a deployment makes updates as simple as "kubectl patch ...".

It does require a load balancer, which varies from platform to platform. In AWS, I assume it uses an ELB. On premise, you might use contrib/service-loadbalancer (haproxy).

For production, it may be. Kubernetes would handle updates in a safer way, avoiding service interruptions.

Yes, the database can be in a container as well, with a persistent volume.

It's not that much more complex than what you just went through.

I still prefer to use kubernetes for this: https://dewyatt.github.io/articles/continuous-deployment-of-...

I know bugzilla has this feature but IIRC it requires much more explicit actions on the part of the user. Like in this case, the user did not upload a patch and mark it as a patch.

Phab, IIRC, kind of forces you to upload a patch and not some random file. Could be remembering wrong, though.

It seems weird that mozilla doesn't have something like phabricator so I can view a pretty diff of this easily.
