dlhavema··on Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Definitive Oral History of a TV Masterpiece
I loved their spin off Rifftrax.com, a bit tricky to get working, but worth it to hear the same guys trashing blockbuster movies instead of B movies.
dlhavema··on When stick figures fought
I loved the xiao xiao series. They were amazing.
dlhavema··on I basically announced Minecraft 2
Yes, thanks!
dlhavema··on I basically announced Minecraft 2
I'd rather him resurect that space game that was teased a while back..

The premise was something along the lines of the sleep timer had a byte overflow error or something and instead of sleeping 10 years, it ended up sleeping thousands...

( Edit for spelling I hope )

dlhavema··on Show HN: Generate admin apps without writing a single line of code
Pretty neat. Any mapping integrations?
dlhavema··on McDonalds is giving free French fries in return for waiving the right to sue
I guess the underlying meaning of the sentence was "some small percentage of the app users are...."
dlhavema··on How Netflix uses Java
Thanks for responding. That's good insight
dlhavema··on How Netflix uses Java
Most of the postings for backend positions at Netflix I've seen call out nodejs. Can I assume they do both? Is one legacy and the other newer stuff, or are they more complimentary?

Anyone on in the inside know?

dlhavema··on Nokia launches DIY repairable budget Android phone
I remember my Old Samsung's and HTC thunderbolt all have replaceable batteries, as well as the Motorola Droid which was super cool..

Not going to these were the early ones. I think starting with the S8 or so they stopped letting you replace the battery. I'm on pixels now. And my Pixel 6 doesn't have a replaceable battery...

dlhavema··on Show HN: Nitric – Node.js framework for building portable cloud apps
What about permissions? A hard part about developing on AWS was grtting the right permsission set that gave enough access, but nothing more. Im sure the other cloud providers have similar systems to IAM
dlhavema··on My newsletter is making $2k per month with 7k subscribers – AMA
Talk about constraints, i work in the back of my ( albeit long ) pantry, with very little ventilation, and an adhoc light setup for now. The desk and chair are nice, and the desk can raise for the very few times i want to stand for a while.
dlhavema··on I got hacked and Facebook banned me
Mine got taken over almost a year ago. They reset the password bypassing secondary email checks and Facebook as other peole have said just doesnt care.

I've contacted a few colleagues that work there and haven't seen anything happen.

My wife messaged the account and said at least take down the photos of our kids, and the person actually responded saying they would, so now most of it is private.

I am a white male, but according to Facebook I'm a young asian female... The background picture is still my house though.

Oh well.

dlhavema··on The Multistate Battle over the Colorado River
Yeah it's kinda crazy.aybe if i golfed I'd feel differently, but still its a losing battle
dlhavema··on Ask HN: Did you change jobs during the Great Reshuffling and regret it?
Pensions are long gone in most small "startuppy" companies. That takes away one big motivator to stay.
dlhavema··on AWS Lambda function URLs: Built-in HTTPS endpoints
It's kind of a nice to have but no you don't ""need "" that type of person to get started at least.

I was the fourth engineer at a smallish currebtly Series A startup that used lambdas for ~90% of their services and we ( the software devs) built the CICD, API gateway integrations, all of that stuff. We figured out a good solution early and then maintained it. Which made moving forward pretty trivial.

It only got a little bit more complicated as we wanted to use different authorization methods or VPC private link when we did eventually spin up a couple ECS clusters.

The company now has a full-time DevOps/SRE, but they don't really work on the code deploy CI stuff. They more deal with I am audits and security and stuff...

dlhavema··on AWS Lambda function URLs: Built-in HTTPS endpoints
I think the idea here is that you don't have to set up API gateway anymore to get HTTP/API access to your lambda.

You still can of course but it's one less thing you have to do.

Like another comment said you can expose it through IAM/SDK but then you're getting random permissions credentials whatever out to the world as well.

dlhavema··on Ask HN: Any piece of hardware that was more of game changer than you expected?
Thats cool, white board paint is crazy expensive still
dlhavema··on Ask HN: Any piece of hardware that was more of game changer than you expected?
I cannot agree more. This switch breathed new life into my home ( Windows 10 ) computer.

If only i did it with a larger drove though... Im atruggling through my system drive on a 90gb ssd...

dlhavema··on Georgia teacher read the fine print and won $13K (2019)
Is this a clever way of saying "studying"? :)
dlhavema··on Georgia teacher read the fine print and won $13K (2019)
When i was in college, a chance at say 50$ would totally tempt me to spend a few hours hunting around campus ( Arizona State Uni for me ), i made ~$8 an hour at the time
dlhavema··on Ask HN: Strategies to land fully remote $250k+ job
Comparing Jobs and references is not apples to apples,. One is understood to be a list of employers you've had in recent years,. The other is understood to be one to three people that would recommend your skills not every single person you've worked with the last 10 years..

You can easily lie by omission.. The root of it is deceitful intentions.

dlhavema··on More than you want to know about gift cards
I get those from my boss every year. pretty cool tradition.
dlhavema··on Father-son duo helped techies ‘hack exams’, earn top scores for big payday
We recently had a guy interview at our company and he had someone else do the technical part. He himself talked to the non technical people and his "colleague" talked to me and the other engineers.

He looked nothing like his linked in profile, but i gave him the benefit of the doubt since maybe it was an old picture... It wasn't. All this was over video chat..

dlhavema··on AWS launching Lambda URLs, allowing executions without API Gateway
I am contrast like the API Gateway side of things. Not sure how they'll manage custom domains in that kind of thing but we have a bunch of APIs hosted by ECS lambda and direct S3 endpoints.

Also we have a custom lambda authorizer that protects most of our endpoints. Also with multi-file swagger support, setting up the swagger file for API gateway is a breeze.

dlhavema··on An intact slave's room found in Pompeii's ruins
If thats all a person can do would you rather them sit on a couch and live off of/depend on the state? No it's not a super fun existence and that's what my life was like right after high school in the early college years.

The real problem comes in when someone in that situation gives up and does nothing.

dlhavema··on PalmOS on Raspberry Pi
The whole j2me toolchain was pretty rough too. For a while when i started i used DOS history to get through it. then my life changed when my prof told me what a batch file was for. ( There werr four commands you had to run in sequence anytime you wanted to test your code )

Programming on j2me was like 7x better after that...

dlhavema··on PalmOS on Raspberry Pi
20 years ago i built a functional wireless waiter system (edit: using palm pilots + j2me) like you see at applebees/chillis today.

I had no business sense to figure out how to sell the thing. I also was a young 20 something year old...

dlhavema··on Super Follows
Slack does too, if that matters
dlhavema··on I'm a Frito-Lay Factory Worker. I Work 12-Hour Days, 7 Days a Week
Not sure there are "local income taxes" at least not here in AZ.. the towns migth get some of the state taxes, property taxes, and any services paid for ( trash, water, etc.. )
dlhavema··on Ask HN: Feeling guilty for doing the bare minimum at work
Hmm. Could that be why I fail to be a completionist in games? I play computer games, but don't give a rip about achievements or multiple playthroughs... They are fun, but as soon as I beat it, I move on.
