Wait, how is it possible for anyone who opens a PR to issue dependabot commands for main repository? There should be some kind of authorization in place to avoid it, right? Should it not ignore any commands coming from outside users who do not have commit access?
This is explained here:
> Here's the trick: github.actor does not always refer to the actual creator of the Pull Request. It's the user who caused the latest event that triggered the workflow.

Because the original is a man and his father, it's a test for gender bias.
Sorry, what?

> There are no out of work olive farmers in the US.
Is that because we can't grow olives here, or because we don't have federal subsidies propping up a domestic olive industry that can compete with corn and soy?
I ready don't know the details well enough there, but it feels like this could just be selection bias at play.
Hard for me to believe that even with a surplus of domestic production that comparative advantage of importing still wouldn't be better.

I'm curious as to why you wrote your own chess implementation - seems like this would have been much easier to implement with chessboard.js [1] and chess.js [2].
Surprisingly, in this context, I frequently came across interfaces that make it difficult to implement certain features using those libraries. There's not a one-size-fits-all implementation yet.
bavarianbob commented on Ask HN: Any open-source to contribute and get hired? · Posted by u/parvardegr
I think you're going to scarcely find a company that has a direct open source -> hire pipeline. However, one of the most valuable parts of contributing to open source that I have personally found is forming connections and having those connections referring you to companies. I encourage you to find a company + project combination that you enjoy, find ways to collaborate, and make relationships. Doing that will likely yield huge dividends.

Awesome project!
As someone deeply familiar with this problem (ex-JupiterOne), I'd caution against asserting that 'deep level of customization' is a differentiator. Your buyer (CISO) and userbase (Sec Engs) are drowning. They (and I) don't want yet another product to build on top of. This is a key reason why Wiz is so successful -- an operator can turn Wiz on and immediately receive value, no adjustments or additions needed.
I'd strategically focus on making the 'actionability' part the cornerstone of the product and really become obsessed with making that part of your product incredible. The Goliath-killing story you need will be formed by figuring out how to get your product to the point where someone can turn it on and immediately receive value for the most impactful security problems first (ex: Log4J) and the total surface area of problems the product solves for second.

How does cage free make this worse? The supply shortages are coming from avian flu in every report I have heard.
It's another requirement to comply with. More work for the producer == higher cost for the consumer.
bavarianbob commented on Ask HN: What's the "best" book you've ever read? · Posted by u/simonebrunozzi
Impossible to pick one... best I can do is five-ish, all fiction:
The Odyssey; David Copperfield; Moby-Dick; Anna Karenina; Borges' short stories, in particular Ficciones & The Aleph
Do you have any comments on how to best absorb Ficciones? I read it recently and struggled through the whole book, needless to say, I don't comprehend why many hold that book on such a high pedestal.
