News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

namidark

My 2c on Argon from using it: very fast, very good at writing vulnerable code. Open auth, open ports, vulns everywhere, stuff you would expect a frontier model to get right, it doesn't. I don't have these same issues Codex or Claude using Opus 5.5 or GPT 5.6+/6.1

Is there anything similar to jumpstart for go?
Re:A Surprise AWS Bill on Sunday July 26, 2020 @02:26PM (#23959023)
AWS bills are un-auditable. I'm convinced every org is being over-charged for bugs in their billing and tracking software. I've asked on multiple occasions where charges randomly started appearing (despite no infra changes), which weren't there the month before, and no one was able to answer on the AWS support side.
Anecdotally, both credit cards I used on Instacart got popped for fraud right after each other in the past week.

Can you expand on "you know, the "official experiment" that suddenly got discarded to the surprise of its developers" and where that announcement was made?

After several hurricanes - you should treat them as 4 way stops, however a large chunk of people just run through them (most recent example is from Irma)

Re:Implementing Backup on Wednesday August 09, 2017 @06:46PM (#14974460)
I was testing table loads with a few millions rows and kept running into issues with deleting the data and consistent performance (compared to postgres). Postgres won the performance over view and after finding out DELETE would lock the entire DB process (you should use DROP instead) - I moved on.

Ask HN: Screening tools for devops interviews?

I've found a number of online tools to screen for certain programming challenges, however I want to screen for some ops related tasks (given a VM, install X, Y, Z, do task N, etc) and be able to check on it.Does anyone have any recommendations for this type of testing?

Do you have any examples from other large companies that do micro-services at Netflixs' scale?

Last I checked a month or so ago it was still around 5-7k per node so that sounds accurate

I wish they would address stability issues first, like this bug[1] that has been around 2 years and is still happening on the latest versions.

I actually found league's community refreshing compared to DOTA2 which was a toxic mess in low MMR
