I'm so glad this was made and worked, does anyone else find themselves haunted by the dumb failed utopian projects of the past? That somehow stupid engineering of the past sits in your imagination beside the dumb software development in shitty languages of your personal history? - What's that employer? you want a contract management system entirely in microsoft word macros - and it has to produce a scrollable map of government infrastructure, and it's 1995, and this is all in word, is there a database?, no?, no database, all in the word template - sure why the hell not, I guess you're paying and no doubt I will experience immense person satisfaction wasting my youth in your strange beige office attempting and repeatedly failing to realise this hideous monstrosity and cherish the downward spiral of shame and self recrimination. excellent!

That’s very typical, the new ceo will usually try to put their stamp on a company by firing a bunch of the close allies of the previous ceo, cancelling a bunch of their favorite projects, and generally just marking their territory. Same as kings used to do on ascending the throne, it’s all about personal brand.

Not to mention this terrible default practice landed them some great pr to start with and the apology gives them more (this time "good pr")
I wholeheartedly agree. I was very surprised to see the Technology first perspective. This is a path to band-aids and incongrueties.

When I read the worked example, I see something quite a bit different. The worked example seems to suggest integrating basic threat modeling practices into product/feature development user stories/use cases. This is a bit better, and I'd suggest a bit more aligned to your "value in educating product owners" comment.

For me, it's quite straightforward ... what is the revenue generating aspect of your product/service? Let's assume mal intent, ignorance, user error, etc. are all likely, but not equally so, and come up with ways the service can be broken.

Top down look at the options to protect against those - which are often a combination of people/process/technology, and then weigh up the additional complexity that introducing them adds.

You basically end up with a threat/risk register, with mitigations, etc.
like he said, kernel problem. Most likely a driver holding on to a handle opened by a process by not cancelling I/O properly. to my recollection the most common case, but could be similar other reasons.
Okay, I'll consider giving it a try!
Ask HN: What is today's equivalent of a bootstrap HTML web app?
I have experience launching simple websites with a flask backend, and in the past I have used bootstrap for the front-end - I just copied one of the bootstrap starter templates and with minor modifications it looked acceptable for a basic app.

That seemed to be true five years back. What is the ideal workflow for someone who wants to focus on the backend for their mvp and want the easiest to provision frontend solution? Something that looks acceptable in design and responsiveness out of the box, and ideally plays well with flask.

I would sincerely prefer something in bare html and not go the react route (it's honestly still a steep learning curve, I'd much rather stick to jquery + HTML, but open to change for sure).
A given channel has two controls: tempo (because there is an audible click track to keep people in sync) and a repeat duration. To make it work, either (a) it has to be a modal jam (no chord changes), or (b) play 12 bar blues and set the latency to 12 bars.
Ask HN: Add a “see also” feature to submissions
Hi, can we add a "see also" feature to the submitted article, e.g. recently submitted Duffs Device. This is useful because the previous discussions can provide interesting background data.
Windows is good, yes. Especially for compatibility with standard desktop apps and new form factors like pen, handwriting, etc. But iPad with touchpad now is also good—better, perhaps, than the Pencil’s OS integration. Presumably the standardization of App Store categories means MacOS and iOS will align eventually as much as Windows modern and native apps can on the same (“desktop”) system. Both platforms and Chrome want app authors adapting new features, but developers generally implement what’s easiest/appropriate for their codebase, so... I think the next big leap in UI will be when AI recognizes and labels patterns in complex code for more advanced refactoring...

Azure has a product built specifically for this, so it must be at least vaguely common. The rationale given in docs is: "A common application pattern is to provision a single database for each customer. But different customers often have varying and unpredictable usage patterns, and it's difficult to predict the resource requirements of each individual database user."

A client of mine used some SaaS from a vendor. The vendor sold you an “Instance“ that basically is an EC2 instance. Each instance has a self-contained app and self-contained database. Migration and app update are handled a single client/single instance at a time. Standard backup and restore tools can be used. It’s a more expensive approach but the software was specialized and expensive too. An upside of this model, it lends itself well to clients who require on-premise deployment. And it seems for heavy use clients, you can scale up their instance and database as needed.
Wow, that script so does not work under MacOS!

The first hurdle is that it errs out on the bash version. Yes, yes, I know, Apple supplies v3.x something and you have to upgrade to v4.x something or higher. But when I upgraded using 'brew install bash' I got to v5.x something. Voila, the script still thinks we're in the wrong version.

The path is good, the test, run manually in the terminal, is good, the script looks good, but still fails. Not sure why.

Never mind, I modified the script to remove the 'exit' on wrong bash version, and all was well until the install crashed with an utterly incomprehensible "./macos-guest-virtualbox.sh: line 1400: -: syntax error: operand expected (error token is "-")"

Line 1400 is the end of some very obscure keyboard scancodes. No idea where to go with that.

When I manually formatted a virtual drive GUID and Mac OS Extended (journaled), the install inside the VM failed with some cryptic Mac error.

Fortunately, after a reboot, the Catalina installation seemed to proceed without problems and I achieved a working system. So, yay!

I have similar. One PG database per tenant (640). Getting the current DSN is part of auth process (central auth DB), connect through PGBouncer.

Schema migrations are kind of a pain, we roll out changes, so on auth there is this blue/green decision.

Custom fields in EAV data-tables or jsonb data.

Backups are great, small(er) and easier to work with/restore.

Easier to move client data between PG nodes. Each DB is faster than one large one. EG: inventory table is only your 1M records, not everyone's 600M records so even sequential scan queries are pretty fast.
Ideally these would be organized by stage, sector etc.

Well if it makes you feel better, the US government spent about 1 billion 1950s dollars on nuclear powered aircraft between 1949 and 1959. Some remnants can still be viewed, e.g. in the parking lot of the EBR-1 museum near Arco, ID, which usually opens around Memorial Day if you're in the Snake River Valley area.

One spin-off out of these is molten salt reactor technology, which was adapted from airplanes to power reactors in the 1960s, but died anyway, along with about a half-dozen other "crazy" reactor technologies intent on making economical nuclear power.

> This is a failure of government to protect it's peoples from supra-nationalist oligarchs who abuse various economic shell and tax avoidance friendly nations systems in order to abuse their country of origin (or country of profit origin). This is not at all about "what books they buy" and to say so is poor form and intellectually disingenuous.

This is about governments abusing the boogyman of supranational oligarchs to justify subjecting their entire populations to surveillance of what books they buy, and everything else about their lives which can be deduced from their financial records.

Buying books, contraception, a Grindr subscription, it's not any of their business.

> I would venture this example you've pulled out of your hat is an extremely small percentage of who would be revealed.

I would venture that supranational oligarchs are an extremely small percentage of who would be revealed, because there really aren't that many supranational oligarchs. And in many cases the ones who do exist aren't obviously the bad guys -- a lot of "oligarchs" with offshore accounts have them because they're on Putin's list, but being on Putin's list is as often an indication of good guy behavior as bad guy behavior.

> Just look at the Panama papers for example, besides a journalist or two getting assassinated because of it, nobody was held to account

It's because leaking their names was never the thing preventing them from being held to account. You don't think the US government has the intelligence capacity to learn their names on their own?

They don't get prosecuted because the information has to come in a way that it would hold up in court, or because they're politically connected, or because they're politically connected in another country which your country needs to maintain a relationship with. It was never because the government can't figure out who they are. So revealing the names does nothing against the real bad guys, but it still gets people murdered who were using those accounts because they're vulnerable and not politically connected.

Super grateful for the resonance! Mythos emerged from that same non-linear thinking you describe. I was tired of repeating old stories/context to get to a present state of resonance. I had wanted a ubiquitously referenceable library of context and the closest thing I'd found were knowledge management platforms, but those didn't quite fit. We've been communicating through Mythos for two years now and are still searching for its edges. Excited to share it with you and see where you take it!

It's significantly better than it used to be even in the relatively recent past. Data-capable cell connections are ubiquitous throughout Havana, although you have to be fairly well off to be able to afford a plan that can use them. Wifi connectivity is more widely available, and there's tons of parks where there's official government wifi signals available (you have to buy a card for time).

It doesn't even begin to approach the connectivity of the U.S., but the internet isn't a totally foreign concept. (I can only speak for Havana though, no idea what's it like outside of the cities)

If an "account" is an "enterprise" customer (SMB or large, anything with multiple user accounts in it), then yes, I know at least a few successful companies, and I would argue in a lot of scenarios, it's actually advantageous over conventional multitenancy.

The biggest advantage is flexibility to handle customers requirements (e.g. change management might have restrictions on versioning updates) and reduced impact of any failures during upgrade processes. It's easier to roll out upgrades progressively with proven conventional tools (git branches instead of shoddy feature flags). Increased isolation is also great from a security standpoint - you're not a where clause away from leaking customer data to other customers.

I would go as far as saying this should be the default architecture for enterprise applications. Cloud infrastructure has eliminated most of the advantages of conventional multitenancy.

If an account is a single user then no.

PS: I have a quite a lot of experience with this so if you would like more details just ask.

I feel like this is obvious, and, therefore, if you agree with me, pls don't upvote. I feel like recently there's been an emphasis on individual responsibility which is at the very least not sustainable in the long term. I'd wrap my point up but I feel the original poster hasn't really put in the effort :-)
If you want to change things, the first step is to recognize the problem lies to those with power, like your manager, who lied their way to the top, not to a fellow employee trying to get a job. Being honest to liars and manipulators to earn enough of their pity to hire you did not suddenly become the peak of morality. The bottom of society is responsible for their unhappiness because they have not risen to end it, not because they have not licked enough boots.

As a fun exercise once at YC Demo Day, I decided to categorize the information on each slide and then record the order the categories were presented. I then noted which presentations I found the most compelling. Sadly I can no longer find the notes, as they were on paper.

I remember the categories I came up with:

* Name of company

* Problem being solved

* Solution being offered

* Total Addressable Market

* Current revenue/signups/other hockey stick graph

* How much is being asked for/current investors

* Who is on the team/why they are most qualified

Most of the pitches went in the order above, with some minor variations. Some skipped some of the slides.

But what I remember is the the ones that seemed most notable and memorable were the ones that used a significantly different order.

Sure, but moderators are elected by the community, Monica was elected before the new policy was a thing, and the community including Monica and StackExchange were discussing what the new policy was going to look like (the policy hadn't even been finalized yet, let alone rolled out) when SE went and fired Monica (doesn't matter what the reason, firing people from elected positions without consensus doesn't go over well) and dissed Monica (by name!) to the media.

And then obviously Monica crowdfunded $25k to sue SE, they came to an agreement and neither party really talks about the incident any more.

There was really no need for the situation to escalate as harshly as it did and SE shot themselves in the foot repeatedly.
