Nah, can't be, Azure DNS has a 100% SLA after all: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/dns/dns-faq#what-is-...

Do you have a source for this? Interested in reading more.

Unless it’s your personal summary, in which case curious what sources you used, or if it’s from an LLM in which case I’ll just ask it myself.

It’s an interesting time we live in.

I personally don’t assume people who use whitelist are racist, or those who allowlist are virtue signaling.

However, I certainly do assume that people who chastise others for using “whitelist” are virtue signaling, and those who deride people for using “allowlist” are racist.

Both are easily understood and I generally assume good intention from people. Just live and let live.

Allowlist is arguably fitting for a list of things which are allowed.

Cool, you’ve said all you needed to. You can now safely be ignored by our entire industry as far as I’m concerned.

Enjoy your lack of vertical mobility!

Out of curiosity, what’s the last “real problem” you solved?

Then just find a new career maybe? I sure as hell wouldn’t hire you at this point.

Glancing over your comment history, this seems to be a trend for you; being intentionally abrasive/provocative for no reason. And you get downvoted to oblivion as a result, so I'd hope you understand by now that your comments aren't appreciated.

Obviously you're entitled to your opinion and welcome to share it, but don't be surprised when that begins having repercussions on your career, and don't be surprised when people on this forum in particular don't respond well to it.

HN is focused on technology and business, not so much politics or your personal opposition to making historically oppressed individuals feel more comfortable in tech, a traditionally white & male dominated space. If you're going to make reasoned arguments around why changing the name of a branch has a demonstrable negative impact on your life, please do. If not, this isn't the place to air your grievances with crass and unproductive comments.

That was my Google Play Music use case as well. About a year ago I set up a plex server on my NAS and bulk downloaded my GPM library onto it (which to google’s credit was easy to do). Now I have them on my own hardware, and accessible on the go with the Plex app. It’s a better experience for video than audio, but it’s totally serviceable.

There had been murmurs for a long time of Google Play Music going away, so I moved off ASAP. Looks like that was a good call.

Brand new account, named “modsRapple”, with only this comment. Safe to ignore.

That’s not realistic if you ever go on call. When you’re responsible for the uptime of a service and people’s first line of contact for issues is a slack message, you need to always have it be in a state to interrupt you.

Your personal website is down, btw.

Humor is subjective.

It’s almost like humor is subjective. Yes, many people suck at it and do it in wrong or counterproductive ways, especially with the rise of “prank” YouTube channels and the like which view embarrassing people as the end goal.

But there are other ones that I have found genuinely amusing and funny. The list of Google’s April fools pranks/features has some real gems - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Google_April_Fools

Some of them even lead to products or other real features down the line (like the 2014 Pokemon google maps explorer, which went on to become Pokemon Go).

Yeah, some jokes miss the mark for me, but I get that my sense of humor isn’t universal, and frankly I think a bit of levity is important for us right now as individual and as a culture.

Extremely verbose is right. Here's one such approach in java that I found last year - https://github.com/sgreben/regex-builder.

Yeah, regex can be a bit clunky at times and has a steeper learning curve, but they're pretty industry standard at this point, and portable across languages with a few caveats.

If this were to be offered by an actual company (a first party solution), there are some features that'd be expected that make the problem space a lot harder. Here's an "intro to search" article that's a good read, and I'll use it to highlight some of the things that'd be different in a first party solution - https://medium.com/startup-grind/what-every-software-enginee...

(See the "Theory: the search problem" section)

Size: This is only indexing ~500k public repos. A first party solution would be expected to index all of it, public and private.

Indexing speed: This can take up to a few days to index. A first party solution would be expected to have a much lower index latency - seconds to minutes.

Query language: This can (and does) have its own simple query language. A first party solution would need to have support embedded into and not break backwards compatibility with the current query language.

Context-dependence: A first party solution would be expected to index private repos as well, and now the query context (logged in user) becomes another variable in an already multi-variate problem space.

Latency: Gets harder with scale, and a first party solution would likely provide a SLA/SLO around latency.

Access control: Same issue as context-dependence, with private repos being included.

There's also unknown but likely considerations around compliance and internationalization, which are quite tricky problems.

Note - I don't mean for this to be critical of the author at all. This is an awesome and useful tool, with a fantastic UX. I just want to make it clear that search at scale is a lot harder than it seems at first glance, especially as the feature requirements increase.

Next post from danfox - “how to get 3 job offers in 3 hours”.

Already has been publicly contacted by:

- GitHub CTO

- SerpApi CEO

- SourceGraph CEO

Search is hot right now!

1) Most people don't care enough about that to even be bothered by it, never mind change their entire tooling and move large amounts of code out of protest.

2) You are the exact same, it seems, if not worse on account of your hypocrisy? Your GitHub address is still listed in your HN bio, you've been active as recently as yesterday, and you're a pro user, so you _literally_ give GitHub money.

If these issues actually matter to you, delete your account. I'm sure someone would love to scoop up the username "sneak". But don't come here on your high horse shouting about ethics while you actively financially support the organization you're lambasting.

I downvoted you for this despite agreeing with you.

Since you have a brand new username, I’m going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you’re just new here and not intentionally trolling, and explain why.

This community values neutral statements of fact, not vulgarities or arguments of passion. As such, while your opinion may have merit, your presentation of it is unlikely to get you far here.

Hope that helps you thrive in this community going forward.

Yeah, maybe “to hell and back” was strong, but it was used as the setting for “The Lab”, one of Valve’s first VR demos, and there’s a mod called “Portal Stories VR” which is one of the most developed and popular VR mods currently.

It’s not new tho, Chelle in portal was a female protagonist, and that game has been VR’d to hell and back.

I think Alyx makes sense as a protagonist given how prominent of a character she was in HL2, regardless of gender.

The issue with swift on the server currently is that it’s an entirely different compilation toolchain to that run on MacOS and iOS, so the language has different bugs than those that exist for app development, and gets less attention from swift developers.

If you want to take a stab at server side swift, I’d recommend looking at the swift port of Netty that Apple released called swift-nio (after the name “swetty” was nixed by Apple marketing and communications) - https://github.com/apple/swift-nio

No no no, they mean things that confirm their biases.

Cars aren’t allowed to drive down sidewalks in any jurisdictions I’m aware of.

This is seriously your argument? Alright, hold my red bull, it's math time.

Let's assume they're using a Boeing Vertol 234, a civilian model of the Chinook commonly used for firefighting. They're double rotor, and as such the rotors are slower than most single rotor helicopters, at around 225 RPM [1] at full throttle.

The rotors on a chinook are 60ft in diameter [2]. This means that the edge of the blade is traveling about 188.5 ft per revolution. At 225 RPM, that's 706.8 feet per second, or ~481 miles per hour, on par with a commercial aircraft at cruising speed.

So yeah, smacking a drone into a relatively thin and lightweight rotor blade at over 400 miles an hour may cause a wee bit of damage.

I doubt it. “Tampering” usually requires an intent to obscure or subvert. Computation photography applied broadly to all photos doesn’t have that.

Definition from OED: “interfere with (something) in order to cause damage or make unauthorized alterations.”

The “in order to” seems to imply intent. Not sure if there’s a different legal definition however.

The git metadata should be updated with the approximate time stamps of when the changes were made.

I’ve long wanted to try to do this type of thing with the US code of law. Beyond just being cool to look through, I think it’d make a lot of accountability of lawmakers more clear, since tooling to parse and gain insights from git repos are plentiful.

But then they’d need to revise all the headlines to be outraged at Apple’s mass data collection.

Did you take a taxi any time before uber came along? Unless you’re in a major city (NY, LA, London), or are somewhere like an airport, you’d need to call them, potentially hours in advance in rural areas, and organize a pick up. Knowing if you should tip or not was always confusing, the fares were expensive, and you had no real way to address grievances against the driver, unless they do something illegal and get pulled over.

Nowadays, almost every taxi company has an app, which emulates all the same functionality as Uber. Uber’s way of changing the world was one of user experience and logistics. Not the actual transportation, which as you call out, existed long before.

Ever wanted a database with all the operational complexity of Kafka, and more? Well now you can have it!

It’s exciting as someone more in the SRE side, because you’d need to pay be an obscene amount to support this.

You can disable pretty much all notifications from the watch, separately from your phone. I only use my apple watch for activity tracking, music while cycling without my phone, and things like checking the weather (and time, I guess).

As for them being ugly, at least Apple has a wide selection of bands, and the watch itself is as unoffensive as a rounded rect can be, but I feel you there. It's not a work of art, but at least it's not the house arrest bracelets that fitbit sells.
