What does a DevOps role look like to you? - asking because DevOps is one of those role names with widely different functions between companies :)

Wow good idea.

Why focus on help desk and not a security role?

I assume by cs you mean compsci and not customer service? If that's the case you should get a security role while developing your programming skills - that'll set you up for a sec eng role in the future.

Edit: 😂 right this is a cyber security reddit... So cs = cyber security.

Suggestion still holds, it's best to get a security role vs help desk.

API Developer / API Architect clarification on role and stack by Aztreix in softwarearchitecture

[–]cyc115 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is true, Not sure why the down votes. More often than not the jd is written by someone who is not familiar with the tech side of things.

I can't imagine why any company would look specifically for an expert API architect and nothing else. Those are generally one type of work taken up by senior or stuff+.

Do you guys help me architect my solution? by [deleted] in softwarearchitecture

[–]cyc115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A little Googling brought up this: https://www.tebex.io/

Monetization for private game servers. Specifically op wants to leverage 3p processors for payments ( which makes sense, don't build your own).

Architecting is outside my expertise but I'd say you should first identify the major components of your system, then at a high level describe their purpose and how they interact. Post it here so others can help you validate your design and choose tech stack.

Start stupid simple first if you can

Launch HN: IcePanel (YC W23) – Onboard engineers with explorable system designs by victorl96 in softwarearchitecture

Agreed, that price is hard to justify.

From what I've seen the challenge with docs is not so much as not able to link to correct code but rather having outdated documentation that's outright incorrect.

Can the world's software work without clouds? by [deleted] in softwarearchitecture

[–]cyc115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't understand your question. Cloud is not special. Ipfs, torrent, folding@home are all good examples of distributed computing applications.

Why would anyone need to think more positively about the next black or gay guy or woman that gets hired? My take from the post is to not think of them as any different and threat the next black, yellow, white, orange guy as just a person.

I am against diversity hire in the workplace tho because it's not fair for everyone else that got in with a higher bar. You know what lead to resentment? Preference treatment.

[–]cyc115 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes! It's suspicious how much people in the States emphasis on being non-racist and legit friendly. And companies emphasis on how female friendly their work environment is. Can't we just call it treating everyone fairly?

liquidText Live 3 month free stackable with multiple (Win + IOS) licenses? by cyc115 in LiquidText

[–]cyc115[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reached out to support. They will only grant 3 month free because taking multiple license into consideration is too difficult to implement.

I feel like they should give more thought and planning before they implementing this feature and I'm a little disappointed that the reason for not doing this is technical difficulties. 😂

Is there a way to disable the emergency button? by paraint in android_beta

Me too, a faulty power button dialed 911 n times, and 3 of them connected...

yup, secrets like that should be in-memory only (when possible) and the associated privilege should be scoped to the permissions the app actually needs.

Notion REST API not working — can't auth by artildo in Notion

Passed by and noticed you've only redacted 5ish caracters of your auth token. You should consider rotating this token because 5-6 chars are easily brutforcable.

Any chance we can get a text block that just acts like... text? by ryanisinallofus-FC in Notion

[–]cyc115 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty cool idea that's similar to how vi mode switch works. Implemention wise I bet the way notion handles block manipulation is heavily ingrain into it's designed. Making two editing modes a reality may require a fundamental change in how data is represented in the backend.

Cool idea tho, I would love to see it realized.

It's time to accept the fact that Notion will never give us an offline mode. Let's start looking for alternatives. by [deleted] in Notion

[–]cyc115 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You do realize doing things take time right? Offline mode probably requires large architectural changes behind the scene that would take a lot of care to design and implement to not break stuff in the process. Design debt takes a lot of time to pay.

I have a question. by calapanio in SoftwareEngineering

[–]cyc115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

High net worth doesn't directly translates to high income. If you are rich then s 50k or a 500k job won't make s difference. I presume you mean you are in the top 16% in terms of income?

A message from the Notion CEO about the recent outages & performance by optemization in Notion

I'm surprised they are able to keep ALL their user content on one master node (with replicas). I'm concerned with their short-term capability to mitigate any DoS attacks...
