kache_··on The Gervais Principle, or the Office According to “The Office” (2009)
Because they cannot read between the lines

Don't hate the player, hate the game. Your general in the upper strata has to play the game, it's the job. But you can also get a beer and become friends with him or her.

Sociopathic behavior is genuinely useful to participate in. Just have awareness of what's going on, and down cycle and up cycle your "talking in between the lines" as necessary. And have fun

kache_··on The Gervais Principle, or the Office According to “The Office” (2009)
There are some tip top engineering directors in my company that are just regular honest engineers. What's really wild is how my brain just automatically tunes in when they start speaking, and then tunes out again when it's back to corpo speak.

the world is a rough place

there's all kinds of abuse going on, even without the child labour, in labour intensive jobs.

man this sucked to read

kache_··on Hitting a Moose
People don't realize how truly massive moose are. They are literal alien monsters that tower over. First time I saw one I was shocked. They just step over fences like they aren't even there.

The guy nearly died man give him a break lmao
kache_··on The Gentleperson's Guide To Forum Spies (2012)
I would totally pay for this

Even just a slight deboost to "probability of shill". I'm good enough at noticing it myself, but not until I wasted 5 seconds reading their post.

kache_··on Warpd: A modal keyboard-driven virtual pointer
Have you considered using ML/OCR to figure out the position of the text relative to the screen? Seems much simpler than relying on accessibility APIs

Thank you for your hard work!

on the bright side, gen z in developing countries have a bright financial future, relative to their predecessors
kache_··on 87% of American teens own an iPhone; 88% expect an iPhone to be their next phone
your technique is probably less insidious than mine (forcing packet loss)

but yeah, controlling your kid's gaming habit is hard. I went off the rails and it probably cost me about half a million dollars in opportunity cost. Those games should be illegal/controlled, they use literal gambling mechanisms to hook kids

god speed

if you think your kid won't outsmart you, think again

kache_··on Staff Engineer Archetypes (2020)
>archetypes

Staff archetypes is a meme. Here's an archetype for you: gets whatever needs to get done done. The idea of an archetype is harmful, it limits what people do and can become an excuse to not do hard grindy work.

EDIT: On a second read, I guess you do end up doing one of those things for an extended period of time. But my point still stands: don't box yourself in

kache_··on Ask HN: What am I supposed to do after I’m “disrupted”? Work in video and CG
Unfortunately, it seems that technology is showing no signs of slowing down. If it's any solace, you're only the first set of victims, and the rest of us will soon follow.

AI apps popping up everywhere, hugging face & google collab growth exploding, Nvidia going full tilt on AI
kache_··on Why JWTs Suck as Session Tokens (2017)
JWT as a term used to describe signed material should considered harmful (source: me)

It's basically just signed authentication material

Use it when you need to keep your authentication layer horizontally scalable & stateless

Use it when you're transferring trust to an untrusted system, acting on behalf of a user (SAML, OAuth, OIDC)

that's it

It's just signed material

data size limitation (from the blog) is a big meme (source: me). Just pack it into a protobuf lmao

eventual consistency of a stateful session will hurt you btw

yes yes yes I know. The grey bears gave us protocols, rfcs, etc. MUH PROTOCOLS. just give me a private key and a bud light dude

the protocols are important for oidc/oath/saml

JWT ISN"T A PROTOCOL

i'm tired, I should go sleep

kache_··on How a Stable Diffusion prompt changes its output for the style of 1500 artists
from "is your blue my blue" to "is the AI's blue our blue" :)
kache_··on AI Hyperopia
yes, there's a lot of work to do. The cost is me, rolling up my sleeves, and adding entry points to the systems that I build to take advantage of it.

I don't think people are just sitting around. From my observations, there's a mad race happening right now.

We'll get there :)
kache_··on How long do software engineers stay at a job? (2021)
what's really hilarious is that I followed a job hop every year and my job comp actually increased 6x over 4 years
kache_··on How long do software engineers stay at a job? (2021)
Why would you operate at the next level for a year to get a promotion, when you could just job hop and get the pay right now? I call that getting scammed.

I'm job hopping as soon it's beneficial to me. You can deal with the loss of my velocity I'm sure.

My advice is to make sure that your manager knows this. It's a business relationship after all.

kache_··on Okta Exposes Passwords in Clear Text for Possible Theft
If I sell you shit and you happily eat it, but then 3 months later you're like "dude, why did you make me eat shit?". Idk.

seems kinda like the responsibility of the person building the application and managing your users' data to do your due diligence on where the keys to the kingdom go

but... on second thought it's crazy that okta even provides this lmao. It's different when you're a SaaS provider with a position of being secure compared to being an indie merc contractor. Hell, if I was an indie merc, I'd straight up just not do it out of principle.

kache_··on Iran’s Internet Shutdown Hides a Deadly Crackdown
the world can be quite brutal, and different. we're not special. it's upsetting when we get a reminder, but maybe this is a chance to learn that much of the world is.. not so nice.

WorkOS
kache_··on Okta Exposes Passwords in Clear Text for Possible Theft
damn Okta can't catch a break on optics

at least they still have Auth0, and the branding is still somewhat distanced

kache_··on Okta Exposes Passwords in Clear Text for Possible Theft
It's all the same thing with a different flavor

You have a signing authority and it liaisons access. Though it does go in the wrong direction a little bit with SAML

don't hate the provider hate the buyer

if someone tells me to sell them shit for 1m ARR i'm going to get squattin and shittin
