I’m glad to see conferences like this exist. It creates dedicated space for these focuses and the people who care passionately about them.


That’s 2080 paid hours per year. Inclusive of paid time off, holidays, etc.


Interesting “built with these tools” to “useful in this way” ratio


Congratulations on shipping this, I’m sure folks will find it useful!

The rails native way to do this is to track state in a db row and queuing “next step” jobs as the data changes. This can get verbose especially for smaller pass/fail workflows. However, I find this works better (not worse imo) in more complex workflows as the state is tracked, queryable, can be surfaced in UIs, and resumed “manually” in the event of an outage.


Thanks :-)


All of this sucks, and it’s time for the community to move on.

It’s a bad look for the ruby ecosystem. Continuing to rehash, throw mud, and speculate at this point likely harms the greater community more than any “side” would “win”.


It would have been a better angle to title it "gem.coop - the new homebrew-like place to get your gems" and then talk of the advantages for users and the simplicity of the file change to use it.


Maybe there will be later, but for now, there are no advantages for users (probably stability disadvantages) except political alignment.


It pains me how this comment illustrates how ignorant most folks are of the consequences of installing software off the internet is (even technically inclined folks that hang out on HN). How many of us have non-security software installed on our computers today that do exactly these things... but sell the information? Definitely a non-zero number!

If folks understood this better, there would be less reason for software like Huntress' EDR to exist.


I don't think anyone is unfamiliar with the consequences of installing potential malware. I think people are surprised that a seemingly? legit company is going off and having a little pokeabout on arbitrary computers based on nothing more than a hostname match. Then sharing screenshots on HN. I guess they're Canadian but wow does this seem to have CFAA written all over it?


Where can I find that Potential Malware Inside™ sticker that warns everyone else who is familiar with the consequences? Asking for a friend!



Probably the huntress user agreed to hundreds of conditions when he clicked “I agree to the terms of service.”


A multi-node, multi-processes, queue based rspec test runner with a dx that doesn’t suck. Open source.


As with all security audits, most findings are a balance between risk and usability.


He literally mentioned backups and not everyone needs HA?


I paid almost as much for an in-state, 240 mile, move without packing/unpacking.

Get what ya pay for? If felt extremely expensive at the time but after hearing a few horror stories…


Unless you were moving a full 18-wheeler worth of stuff you overpaid. For a 240 mile move you can rent the truck and drive it yourself, and pay local movers to pack/unpack at each location.
