yeah sorry about that. I don't have access to a Linux/Windows machine.

if I got a hold of the output and commands run, would gladly modify it.

fwiw, it would take 10 minutes to download a linux docker image and build it in go to test. The harder part is getting the information from a different API on Linux.

First thought: if I left bad or useless code in a commit, how many levels of verification would it need to pass to make it to production?

kenperkins · a year ago

my thought was that if you get an alert that a key system is flapping in production, your first thought shouldn't be to squelch the alert.

kenperkins commented on Is Seattle a 15-minute city? It depends on where you want to walk nathenry.com/writing/2023... · Posted by u/sebg

kenperkins · 3 years ago

Seattle is complex in this regard as the elevation changes between neighborhoods are an additional dimension. If I was living at the base of Lower Queen Anne and the "facilities" meeting the 15m criteria was at the top, that's not something I would consider a viable walk.

GitHub PM here. Glad that was a good experience! We work with ~50 partners (details in the link below) to notify them when tokens for their service are exposed in public repos, so that they can notify you.

What are the thoughts around capabilities like this for private/enterprise customers? Is the code available in an action that could be connected to private runners perhaps?

GoDaddy | 2 Mid Level Positions | Platform/Data Software Developers | Full-time remote ( Pacific/Mtn/Central mostly )

I'm the hiring manager for the Social Platform team at GoDaddy; we're building data pipelines and services (on AWS) to drive insights and connectivity to social networks for our GoDaddy customers. A huge number of our growing customer websites are built on how they interact with their customers on social networks, and we're building a team to facilitate the tools and data driven insights that power these new experiences. If you're into that and cloud-native tooling, we should talk: kperkins at godaddy dot com if you want to chat. The team is fully remote, and is going to stay that way.

I am very unhappy that 1P is moving to Electron for macOS for the reasons people here have reiterated a million times. I am actively looking for alternatives now.

kenperkins · 4 years ago

You'd get rid of a working solution because of an implementation decision? I _love_ 1P, and I use it on Mac, Windows, Linux, and iOS, and it makes perfect sense that they standardize on Electron.

kenperkins commented on Carmakers want to ditch battery packs, use auto bodies for energy storage arstechnica.com/cars/2020... · Posted by u/tapper

kenperkins · 5 years ago

No they don't. Researchers propose they (the carmakers) do.

I can't even imagine the maintenance or repair considerations of a pack that's embedded inside of the frame or a monocoque chassis.

Lastly this isn't even an Ars article, it's from Wired. It really is a terrible click-bait headline. The article, imho isn't much better.

Asking someone if they are a shill is never "a perfectly valid question".

kenperkins · 5 years ago

I think it is a valid question when the defaults are google and there is a reasonable suggestion to not use google as the defaults in lieu of community or open-source options. When that question isn't answered (evaded) it's perfectly reasonable ask why.

kenperkins commented on California’s new law bans schools from starting before 8am qz.com/1727790/california... · Posted by u/dpflan

secabeen · 6 years ago

This law is only for grades 7-12, so most affected kids can get themselves to school, or don't need direct supervision between when parents leave for work and when the bus arrives.

kenperkins · 6 years ago

My 7 and 9yo kids start school at 8:50am, and don't get off the bus until 4:30pm. It's ridiculous. They're young and need time off but because the district moved everyone back to make room for the High Schools now elementary kids aren't home until half past 4.

Not enough time for them to play in the afternoons now.

blobbers · 6 years ago

Why do all the real manufacturers have very precise numbers yet Tesla has an estimated number?

kenperkins · 6 years ago

Article clearly explains that Tesla does not break out region sales, just world wide quarterly sales, so this number is an informed estimate.
