This article says “Book Review:” but then doesn’t provide the title of a book. I’m confused.

:)


I tried making this joke to the author when the book was released ("I purchased the book, but the link just took me to an empty page") and, unfortunately, they didn't get it and tried to give me customer support

Maybe the author's response was appropriate and it was you who missed the joke

What are you talking about? Did you perhaps cross-post by accident to the wrong thread?

It's in the title: "There is no Antimemetics Division" https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/54870256-there-is-no-ant...

What title?

Why would you disagree with the parent post and then fail to provide the title of the book in your own response? Just give the name of the book, please.

What book? There is no book discussed in this article

What article? This is an HN-only discussion post.

What is HN?

Hungarian notation.

Where am I?

You are in:

Dark

You can hear nothing, smell nothing, taste nothing, see nothing, feel nothing, and are not even certain who you are.


Weird HN bug: I somehow managed to get to an orphan /reply page not attached to any submission thread.

I suppose this joke only works when you've read it. I should take my meds, else I'll forget.

You can’t forget to take class W mnestics. Not unless someone prevents you from taking them.

Remember to check your pancreas regularly.

Just took mine. Please take proper quarantine measures when reading back these comments then, or you'll put us all at risk.

Log entry: Tried building a wall out of hard drives, but Gate walked around them and kept coming. Walls of information ineffective. I've forgotten my name, so I suspect this may be my final entry.

This bullshit attitude to make in-jokes that don't make any sense to people not part of the cultural or social phenomenom that an article is about is one of the most infuriating aspects of them. You can barely find proper user review for books like this or Welcome to Night Vale or such.

What article?

This is my experience as well. A solutions architect is likely to be working directly with customers to achieve what they want with the product which can involve deployment work, integration work, etc. Sometimes this work is found to be repeatable across customers and may be engineered into the product. An architect (in a software or IT context) can have pretty widely varying responsibilities, usually more focused on building product or internal company environments. But solution architects have been fairly consistent in scope of responsibility across the companies I’ve been exposed to


I really thought it was going to be something about a “Y axis” or “Y Axes”


This is about CVE-2022-22965. Maybe I’ll edit the title to reflect that.


good idea.


Depends a lot on how many Spring apps out there have the prereqs to be vulnerable. The widespread nature of Log4Shell is what made it “worse” than other RCE vulns. I don’t have a sense of how many vulnerable instances of this one might be out there but the number could be enormous.


What made it seem that way? I feel like the post provides a solid answer to the question asked in the title. Does it not?


OP here. Sorry that it felt that way to you, and curious why? Because it is from a corporate blog? The material answers the question posited in the title, IMO, but curious why it came off as an Ad to you. Mind sharing?


Well I guess because of this part:

>ExtraHop Reveal(x) automatically detects unusual changes in DNS traffic based on device behavior over time, surfacing queries that should be investigated. A defender can investigate the DNS query from the detection card.

While it does answer the question it also presents one of the solutions as something it has stake in. Imagine a McDonalds blog post about ways to stop hunger:

How to stop hunger! Hunger is when your body wants food. Here are 3 ways of stopping that feeling:

1) Cook some food and eat it

2) Go out to eat

3) Go to McDonalds and have a Big Mac™


More like: "What is hunger?", where your last step is the only proposed solution.

The article does contains interesting information, but then seeing that it is only an ad is a bit disappointing.


As of this writing, the fake Postman extension appears to have been removed from the Chrome extension store. Huzzah!


I just searched for the fake Postman extension again and it appears to have been removed. Hurray!


It seems like trending a story on HN is the only way to get Google to remove malware, unfortunately.


Yeah, that is incredibly frustrating. It seems to me that many of these types of scams target general consumers, piggybacking on legitimate app's names to get a few thousand people to pay a buck or give you some personal info, etc. These instances that target developer tools have the potential to do a different kind of damage to peoples' livelihoods.
