Bucephalus355 commented on Conda is an open source package management and environment management system   docs.conda.io/en/latest/... · Posted by u/salzig

Quick description, Conda is like a supercharged "pip" from the Python world, and now supports other languages too. So it's like an npm/nvm as well, and beyond.

I'd like to know more about security though, as obviously this could be a huge single point of failure, but otherwise Conda is awesome.

He begins the talk "I was driving here at 90 mph...".

I find this interesting. As I recall Bill Gates had a pension for speeding too, accumulating many tickets in his Porsche in both New Mexico and later Washington State.

One Thing - Jetbrains IDE or anything else where you can configure a ton of options.

Have a cron script to constantly export the preference file and sync to cloud or local NAS.

Why are using Zetta Hosting Solutions LLC out of Bulgaria?

I'm a pretty rigorous Catholic, but they have a vanishingly small Christian and even Jewish population to my knowledge.

The Catholic Church was heavily penetrated by both Soviet and Chinese intelligence after World War II. Likely before as well.

Sorry I respect what you're doing, but just want myself and others to do the due diligence up front.

Best of luck otherwise.

Bucephalus355 commented on Ask HN: How to get a good pay SDE job in US?    · Posted by u/SinghCoder
Bucephalus355 · 5 years ago
Cloud certs are currently the most desired in the US right now. By that I mean, in order of precedence ... AWS, GCP/Azure, and then Oracle. I would also add the recent certs from Elastic/Hashicorp/Kubernetes are becoming more popular.

These certs I have consistently seen lead to jobs, even for those in difficult to place circumstances. They also I believe train you well for the job at hand.

I believe 4 Japanese-Americans in 3 separate attacks were killed the day of Pearl Harbor in SF.

Police were deployed to protect the community, but this was not until the afternoon of December 8th.

Are there any use-case for http links on HN in 2021?

I normally don't side with less security, but yes.

Historical internet websites come to mind. These are posted from time to time here.

Bucephalus355 · 5 years ago
I once read an article that theorized that as a covert means of pre-war, countries would publish bogus disease, human health, and pathology data along with fake stats on "how poisonous is XYZ things".

Wish I could find it. Struck me as creepy.

Bucephalus355 commented on Parler partially reappears with support from Russian technology firm   reuters.com/article/us-us... · Posted by u/kamyarg
Bucephalus355 · 5 years ago
The most incredible thing about all this is that Parler was built on top of ... WordPress.

Robert Mercer put $10,000,000 into Parler, and they build out a WordPress app. I don't mean to be harsh, and I actually have a special affection for PHP (the first programming language I studied), but that is engineering malpractice.

Also FYI per the New Yorker story in 2018, Robert Mercer is the largest private owner of machine guns in the US. He runs them through the armory Centre Firearms [1].

They're asking people to share their debug logs to help diagnose this potential issue: https://community.signalusers.org/t/help-needed-please-send-...
Bucephalus355 · 5 years ago
FYI the debug logs are a very curious part of all this. Signal streams them usually to a domain they keep their ownership of somewhat hidden. The domain is: debuglogs.org and the endpoint is just api.debuglogs.org.

It appears to ultimately just front for AWS S3 backend so a very common architectural pattern.
