I don't think so, I think the problem is their devs work on tiny play pretend codebases or micro service architecture.

GitHub is big software, but not that big. Huge monorepos and big big diffs grind GitHub to a pulp.

GitHub runs a mostly monolithic architecture

The security researcher could definitely be arrested for this.

He used employee credentials, and of course his friend got fired, it’s literally the first thing places tell you: don’t share your password.

I also would like to know this, I was just told that databases should be outside the cluster a couple days ago by someone with a decade of K8s experience.

Generall, yes.

Unless you have a dedicated team to do the stuff for you.

Crunchydata is a good starting point

Atotalnoob commented on Live coding interviews measure stress, not coding skills   hadid.dev/posts/living-co... · Posted by u/mustaphah

I like how my current job structured their interview.

They gave me a take home, said use whatever AI you want, just tell us which.

The take home was the equivalent of a simple TODO app using their API (key provided). It took an hour to build.

After I submitted it, they had a follow up session where I had to explain the code to them and answer questions about why I did things the way I did.

Simple, easy, and something any developer should be able to do.

If they radiation shield it properly, I'd like to think so. That won't do anything to 8 ft of concrete plus 4" of tungsten.

Plus the fuel form holds in a lot of the fission products even when scattered around. It may overheat and release volatile fission products but I don't think it would be a widespread disaster no matter what.

Could you reduce the amount of concrete by increasing the amount of tungsten?

This all seems fine.

Most of these items should be implemented by major providers…

Atotalnoob commented on Ask HN: How are you productively using Claude code?    · Posted by u/nocobot
jameshiew · a month ago
I've barely tried Claude Code but looking to experiment with it as well after hearing a lot of good things about it. I've had good experiences with the GitHub Copilot agent in VS Code for working with Rust, specifically with Sonnet 4.

Refactoring duplicate code into a helper function should be achievable with current agents. To replace existing code with an external crate , you could try giving the agent access to a browser (e.g. playwright-mcp), and instructing it to browse the crate docs. For anything that involves using APIs that may be past the knowledge cutoff for the agent's model, it's definitely worthwhile to have some MCP tools on hand that'll let it browse for up-to-date info - the brave-search and context7 MCPs are good.

Could you share your mcp configuration? I am having trouble getting GitHub copilot to work with mcp.
Atotalnoob commented on Fine dining restaurants researching guests to make their dinner unforgettable   sfgate.com/food/article/d... · Posted by u/borski
kjellsbells · a month ago
I'm going to sound like a grinch here, but the flip side of researching the guests to provide stellar service is that the people who don't show up in the persons of note list may end up getting crappier service. It's like the notorious practice of fashion people not qualifying to buy an overpriced handbag until they've proven their loyalty to the brand by buying previous overpriced handbags.

The reason people come back from overseas trips raving about some cute little trattoria or izakaya joint is rarely because the owner sponsored a penguin, but more because the host achieved a genuinely human connection with the diner.

The restaurants at this tier aren’t giving anyone bad service.

Service is a big component of being a Michelin starred restaurant.

I wouldn’t blame TS for not fixing the JS standard library. It’s just a type system.
Atotalnoob · a month ago
Normally, I would agree with you, but if you are going to say it’s the best language, then the criticism is fair.

Best language would be the entire ecosystem, including standard library
