"Default access even with RBAC is too wide-open."

Not following this. Isn't a k8s cluster behind a network firewall? Only exposing 443? To me RBAC would be useful in a specific case where you want k8 service accounts (no one uses these) to have different levels of security. That sounds awful.

"The experts are great until they have a case that is unusual. "

I was so pissed by this I created a way to find experts. People that actually studied the issue, have actual publish papers on the topic. What I found was no one cared. No one wanted "experts" - they want a specialist that is in their network and close.

Weed is not addictive. If you think it's addictive I beg you to watch a fentanyl withdrawal. Watch someone sell their mothers ring for a hit of heroin. Weed, um, its a joke. Get over the headache, get over the "crave" and just go play video games.

I lived in SF for 15 years. The apartment prices are still insane (for a non violent neighborhood). I hope the entire place collapses, so you can get a run down 2 bedroom for 2k. Like it should be. Let artists start moving back in.

Or an... array? Like why bother?

I remember a report from facebook hiring, when they broke down how each person applied. It was something weird like %0.01 were hired by "walk in". Some person literally walked into FB headquarters and left with a job. I will say, if you walk into an office, you will NOT get ignored.

Exactly. IMHO, dentistry has been a scam for 100 years. Every 80 year old I know doesn't have teeth. Anytime you ask for another opinion they act like the last dentist was an alien. I think flossing is important, but when they tried to do a study, nothing worked because all the dentists are lying scam artists -- so if you floss or not is irrelevant.

"Plenty of devops people with only basic programming background plus a AWS/Azure certification course or two."

This could be the entire problem. These are specialized fields. They are being treated like they are not.

"To this point I believe most companies don't hire green for the devops team."

Yes. Devops people come from a SWE background generally + they understand infra. They usually have 10+ years experience. Most specialties work this way in software: security, devops, AI, ML, ... etc. You need to be a SWE first, then specialize.

Grep for ruby on any hacker news whos hiring posts.

I have ran large community type projects. My learnings: the community always revolts. They want less ads, they want more moderation for free but of course, less over-site.

"Why not distributed databases like CockroachDB?"

CockroachDB you have two options both equally horrible. Pay for a hosted solution or run your own. I would pick hosting my own, but that would be some work.

Ah yes, PgBouncer or mysqlProxy. The idea makes sense. However, it never works. You can't push all your db traffic through a single vm (PgBouncer). Next! Someone on the team suggests 2 vms! This is not the path forward. What you need is a cloud supported load balancer to push all the traffic through and just health check the port 3306/5432.

The most under rated hack in IMHO: Hacking Jenkins - Orange Tsai https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_x8BsBnQPmU

I have seen videos of people cruising other companies jenkins dashboards. It's is horrifying, people put all kinds of keys into jenkins. Thousands of companies are rooted. Jenkins makes Wordpress look like modern secure software.

Well, also sprinkle in thousands of pounds of cheap fentanyl and dealer networks.

This post seriously changed my life. I had no idea old was working. Thanks.

Got it. So buy stars for my competitors.

I took CPR class quite a few times. One thing I learned, if they are young, there is a good chance it will work. If they are old, there isn't much hope.

This game is awesome.

This is the only game me and my son(7) play together. It amazing for little kids. They learn history, building resources, building alliances, and destroying the dad empire.

I wish it was possible to play online multiplayer :(. Unfortunately, the people that play online are pretty elitist. Just reject your offers to play, setup the game for you to lose on join, etc etc. The multiplayer "collect resources" is not very fun - it would be awesome to start with 50k each and just create an awesome battle. I don't want to spend 2 hours collecting fake trees - only to have the opponent destroy me in 2 seconds. You can't do any strategy since you will never get to the stages where that matters.

"I suspect the parent has only encountered homeless beggars, in the context of being begged at."

Oh no. The complete opposite. I lived in SF 15 years, worked and talked to the homeless dozens of times. 99% [not mentally handicapped] are addicted to fentanyl, destroyed all their relationships, and are slowly dying. Trying to justify it as "freedom" is a bizarre comment. They tend to have ZERO freedom, trying to score another fix, in an endless loop - they have NO ability to do anything else. People in prison have more freedom IMHO. They need detox now.

"Anyone romanticizing physical work based on doing it as an unpaid hobby"

Exactly. Being homeless is different than camping. One is a mental hell hole of despair. The other is fishing and laughing with friends.

For anyone else out there confused: Next.js != Nest.js.

" I’m all for some kind of universality, but this authoritarian method does not strike me as a good idea."

Rent to high? No problem, make increasing rent illegal. Got a homeless problem? Make it illegal to be homeless. Don't like changing your power cord? No problem: illegal. All these ideas would be like playing chess with the ability to only think one move ahead. It would be like having a 12 year old king pronounce today is ice cream day [all while facing certain thermonuclear war].

Yes. We have re-invented credit cards again.

What about $2000 without going to court? They will most likely pay immediately to avoid court [landlords don't like being in court with a 'failure to repay security deposit' type case].

"landlords have 30 days to return the security deposit with any deductions listed. Failure to do so results in the landlord owing the tenant double the original amount with no deductions." I printed that out, highlighted the relevant section,... "

Young jedi. You mail this AFTER 30 days and get the money.

I expect the exact opposite. As more rules and regulations get put in, prompt engineering is going to be the new software development. "I would like you to pretend i need a lawyer dealing in a commercial lease that..."

Remove the ability to compete in math because you are poor and cannot enroll in private school. Don't allow the poor to do algebra? I left SF (and took my poor kids with me).

However, the SF policy that was truly evil to the poor was randomized school selection. Tell a poor kid in western addition they need to go to school in pacific heights. Tell the pacific heights kids they need to go to school in western addition. So what happens? The poor kids miss school (a lot) since their parents are working crappy jobs for rich people and can't do bus commutes each day. The pacific heights parents just enroll in private school. So tons of schools in SF just close. Awesome work SF. I am confident if you do the exact opposite in all SF policies you would have a great city.

Hey! I get asked by high school kids about going into software, but it is hard to put all my thoughts together at a soccer game or a dinner. SO! This is my first attempt to explain how to get into software. Is it too negative? Too positive? I would love any help or feedback! Thanks!

Your best odds of being an american millionare is pushing all you can into a 401k which purchases sp500. Most american millionares are not business ninjas. They are teachers and firemen pushing into their 401k, they also don't make much money. "Only 31% averaged $100,000 a year over the course of their career."

What happens is the ridiculous return of the sp500.
