reviconon Night.fm

Nightride is a great one, listening now!

https://somafm.com/ is another excellent music stream, Groove Salad is my favorite.

reviconon Null

of course, but that doesn't stop a case where a button was already pressed down when input get re-enabled which would mean a button up event would still fire without a corresponding button down.

reviconon Trump Impeached for Second Time

After the Mueller report was completed ignored by, well everyone really, I have no confidence that he's going to ever be charged with anything. Happy and hoping to be proved wrong.

reviconon Money laundering via author impersonation on Amazon?

Is there a version of GPT-3 that is available for use by the general public right now? I haven't seen anything outside of OpenAPI's private beta.

reviconon Using serverless.com? Your AWS creds and code are being shared with them

Got it, thanks for the clarification.

reviconon Using serverless.com? Your AWS creds and code are being shared with them

I’m not sure I’m understanding what’s happening here, I’m using the serverless command line app to deploy a lambda function to AWS from my local terminal. Nowhere in that process is serverless.com required to be involved. Are my AWS credentials being pushed to serverless.com when I do a deploy? If so, how do I disable this? We’re in a regulated industry and serverless.com is not an approved vendor of ours and should not be receiving any of our AWS credentials.

reviconon Ask HN: How do I get people to find my pre-launch landing page?

The other half of #1 is organic search traffic via SEO, but takes time if you're starting from scratch.

reviconon Show HN: Candymail – Email Automation for Node.js

There's no reason your app has to manage unsubscribes internally, this can be left up to the developer using your package to implement themselves. But it would be good to call it out in your docs that it's something they need to do.

reviconon Panthers’ Russell Okung Becomes First NFL Player to Be Paid in Bitcoin

"His $13 million yearly salary is being split 50-50 between bitcoin and fiat, Mallers said Monday in a phone interview with CoinDesk"

reviconon Ask HN: I use a VPN and Google appear to be the only one knowing my location

> For example, when I do a Google search, my location is correct at the bottom of the page.

I saw the same behavior. Loading google in incognito mode solves this for me. I know I've granted google access to my browser's location services, perhaps you have too. Loading in incognito mode resets this.

reviconon Switching from Apple to Lenovo

I'm surprised I had to scroll this far down to find this comment, it's the reason I can't switch away from macs. There is no even close competitor to the mac trackpad.

reviconon How the Golden State Killer was found: A covert operation and private DNA

Do random people get thrown in jail because of fake finger prints today?

reviconon The cold reality of the Kinesis Incident

What bit us specifically is that we ran our cognito instance in us-east-1, which fair enough sounds like an unstable region and we’re going to move. But as far as we can tell from the docs, cognito does not have multi-az support. Has anyone else figured out a multi-az auth strategy?

reviconon AWS Cognito is having issues and health dashboards are still green

I’m trying to find a doc on running cognito using multiple zones and I can’t find much. Anyone have a multi-az cognito deployment running right now?

reviconon Bluetooth Attack Can Steal a Tesla Model X in Minutes

Is this worse than the guy in the parking lot with a crowbar breaking windows instead?

reviconon Leap second hiatus

China slowed the rotation of the earth very slightly when they built the Three Gorges Dam.

reviconon Leap second hiatus

Remember that your code needs to account for the possibility of a negative leap second, meaning if you're using epoch time for timestamps you could have an instance that an event that happened after a previous one could be stamped as having happened before it instead.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leap_second

Edit: Actually I was slightly wrong, in the event of a leap second, we would repeat the same second twice.

reviconon Next.js 10

And create-react-app would be all I would ever need except that SEO on single page apps that don't have data loaded upon load really sucks compared to server side rendered pages. Is there a way to build a site using create-react-app and enable server side rendering without implementing a whole other framework like Nextjs?

reviconon The Serverless Revolution Has Stalled

we use the serverless framework and use

> serverless invoke local

All the time for doing testing. You can pass in a json file that contains a simulated event to test different scenarios. Works very well for us.
