i recently read an article about running k8s on the oracle free tier and was looking to try it. i'm curious, are there any specific pain points that are making you think of switching?
Nope, just Oracle being a corp with a nasty reputation. Honesty it was easy to set up and has been super stable, and if you go ARM the amount of resources you get for free is crazy. I actually do recommend it for personal projects on the like. I'd just be hesitant about building a business based on any Oracle offering.
I've got a couple of free arm machines setup as a cluster for learning k8 + a few LB in front of it. I use k3s, with pg rather than etcd. Been a great learning experience.
anybody know how the hell they're combating / gonna combat captcha's, cloudflare blocking, etc. I remember playing in this space on a toy project and being utterly frustrated by anti-scraping. Maybe one good thing that will come out of this AI boom is that companies will become nicer to scrapers? Or maybe, they'll just cut sweetheart deals?
According to this (1), they are using the 4o model. And looks like you'll be able to pick your model(2) in the starting with version 1.94 released this September.
I've always found their resources particularly valuable when I really want to go deep on a subject in a way that video courses (my other preferred way to learn) don't seem to always do.
And I think they strike the right balance between academic theory and practice. For example, I'm currently going through their Cyber Security Base https://cybersecuritybase.mooc.fi/descriptions/ and it seems very thorough (i'm not a security or devsecops expert so happy to hear thoughts from those who are)
Hey, Dagger employee here. This exactly is one of the the main design decisions of Dagger. We're not expecting companies and/or projects to perform a full migration to it, that's why we generally recommend starting by wrapping different parts of your pipeline and move on from there. Unlike other solutions, Dagger allows you to keep using your existing tooling and reuse Dockerfiles (https://docs.dagger.io/quickstart/429462/build-dockerfile/#r...) while slowly transition your pipelines to code.
Sometimes people find just starting with a messy part of the build process, or starting to replace dockerfiles here and there can add value, without having to change the world.
I'm currently on an H1-B and I'm considering exploring a startup idea. My research suggests that I could do a concurrent H1-B but what I'm not so sure about is the prevailing wage. Is it possible to get a concurrent H1-B for say 5 hours a week so that I can actually afford to pay myself as the govt. requires?
Yes, a concurrent part-time H-1B can be for as little as 5 hours per week. But there's the issue of getting it, since founder H-1Bs can be challenging.
hey, this sounds silly but I can't seem to find a link of all the languages covered in the 200 hundred languages. I've looked at the website and the blogpost and neither have a readily available link. Seems like a major oversight. There is of course a drop down in both but the languages there are a lot less than 200. I'm particularly interested in a list of the 55 African languages for example.
I didn't tell his boss. I did tell my boss, in an e-mail with evidence. We both had a little chat with the dev where we made it clear that if this happened under slightly different circumstances (if he was trying to access data/systems he wasn't supposed to, if it was one of the HIPAA accounts, etc) he'd not only be shitcanned, he'd be facing serious legal consequences. We were satisfied by his reaction and didn't push it further.
I was actually fired early in my career as a contractor when an over-zealous security big-wig decided to go over my boss's boss's head. I had punched a hole in the firewall to look at Reddit, and because I also had a lot of access, this meant I wasn't trustworthy and had to go. People (like me) make stupid mistakes; we should give them a second chance.
i'm currently thinking about building something similar - do you mind sharing more about what tech stack you used, esp. how you handled the offline data and syncing?
But yes we use pouch+couch to one way sync from our server to thousands device.
And from our sales force device to our server while we still save the data in pouch, we choose to use pwa's service worker to send directly to postgresql instead of pouchdb-couchdb sync.
