tkinz27 commented on Ask HN: I’m an FCC Commissioner proposing regulation of IoT security updates · Posted by u/SimingtonFCC

hannob · 2 years ago

> The FCC recently issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking [2] for a cybersecurity labeling program for connected devices.

That appears to me to be the wrong way to go about this, and it has specifically to do with how IoT security is a problem.

The most severe case of IoT security problems we have seen were things like mass botnets, where plenty of devices of the same type were hacked and then used for things like DoS attacks. Notable cases include the DoS attacks against Brian Krebs for some of his reporting.

The important thing to understand here is that the device owner is not the primary victim. That's a third party.

This is not about consumer choice, because consumers by and large do not care, because they are not the people being affected by this. An optional security label tries to adress it as a consumer choice problem, which it isn't.

A big issue with botnets running on device owner equipment is the amount of bandwidth they "steal" from the device owner. Especially for device owners who are on constrained networks (such as a mobile/satellite network) this can be a really expensive issue for the device owner.

So while the device owner may not be the primary victim, they can definitely still be heavily affected.

What's the purpose of intermediate packages if you're already using containers?

tkinz27 · 5 years ago

Very large c++/python/cuda application that is packed into various different images (squashfs images, but functionally the same).

We end up having a lot of libraries that are shared across multiple images.

tkinz27 · 5 years ago

It’s frustrating to not see more system package management (deb, rpm) from these new services (github and gitlab for instance).

Are others not packaging their code in intermediate packages before packing them into containers?

Data scientists at my previous company switched to https://github.com/has2k1/plotnine when we made a big push to python. Bit closer api to ggplot than Altair.

tkinz27 · 6 years ago

Its really great to see more AMD options for cloud instances. Now I'm just waiting for more ARM architecture options. Not having to cross compile code (a1/m6g AWS instance types) has been very useful in my day to day job.

I wonder if this will be useful for electron based editors like vscode's vim plugin. I know the plugin is "good" but I always find something that works in vim and doesn't in the plugin and end up going back to my terminal.

tkinz27 commented on Excel team considering Python as scripting language: asking for feedback · Posted by u/smortaz

zoom6628 · 8 years ago

Much as i would love for the power of Python in Excel it is important that whatever is done is consistent across the office experience. Some of us old enough to remember the multiple versions of VB-whatever across Excel, Word, Access and that in itself was a blow to productivity.

Yes they should choose Python, and in the process decide if it will be Python with a .Net library (standard and core as seperate libs please!) or IronPython. This in itself is an important first choice.

Then it has to be done in a mechanism that enables the exact same libs and user written python code to work in the same way across all the Office products.

Other languages have been suggested, all good choices with their own merits. Lua is a good chocie for compactness and speed. C# is lingua franca of commercial developers so would suit ISVs but i think too heavy for end user scripting. Nim or even freepascal maybe? Lastly whatabout just using VB.net consistently? VB is a great language for newbs and casual/adhoc programmers .... but it gets ignored because of problems with consistency of implementation by MS.

Last point i would like to make is IMHO the choice needs to be based on: - ability to transpile to javascript so that Excel365 can be scripted from webapps - install-free deployment; should be built into Excel in a way it can be used without any user install for dev or runtime - standard vanilla language, not a variant

Disclaimer: A huge fan and long time user of python here. I also spent largest part of working life in ISV world rather than end user land.

tkinz27 · 8 years ago

The office 365 support could be implemented using the jupyter kernel protocols rather than transpiling to javascript. That would give them a consistent behavior across desktop and web and even open the door to support more languages in the future if they really wanted to.
