Ask HN: What's the largest amount of bad code you have ever seen work? | Hacker News
I think I've broken my own record with this one ~2500 lines of incoherent JavaScript/C#. Works though. Oracle Database 12.2.It is close to 25 million lines of C code. What an unimaginable horror! You can't change a single line of code in the product without breaking 1000s of existing tests. Generations of programmers have worked on that code under difficult deadlines and filled the code with all k
On Internal Engineering Practices at Amazon | Hacker News
Ex-Amazon SDE here.A lot of this has changed. First, there is a movement to build a lot of services in Native AWS instead of MAWS/Apollo. Apollo doesn't require copying configs anymore; you can have the config exist as part of the package you are deploying. Generally, that's a best practice. Pipelines can be configured as code too. There is a centralized log service which requires onboarding. It d
Jailbreaking Subaru StarLink | Hacker News
> Another way would be to remove the head unit from a vehicle, but I'm not wealthy enough to void the warranty on a carTaking something apart does not void the warranty! In fact it is illegal in the US for companies to arbitrarily deny the warranty unless they can prove that the user actually broke the item, taking apart ≠ breaking. Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act (P.L. 93-637) The author actually expa
Ask HN: How to be productive with big existing code base | Hacker News
I have just started working with one of the client who have existing nodeJS code which they build in last 3 years.Is there any guiding principle which is beneficial while working with existing code base? My #1 rule for existing codebases: Just because you wouldn't have done it the way they did doesn't mean they did it wrong. I think it's developer nature to look at a huge pile of code that someone

"For example, they may start integrating technologies for which they have exclusive, or at least 'special' access. Can you imagine if all of a sudden Google apps start performing better than anyone else's?"This is already happening. I very recently worked on the Edge team, and one of the reasons we decided to end EdgeHTML was because Google kept making changes to its sites that broke other browser
Filezilla installer is suspicious again | Hacker News
Botg site admin "The hash doesn't match because the filename doesn't match."A fully descriptive answer is that they don't have a checksum for the bundled package but botg doesn't want to say this. " Dangerously ignorant user. Not matching filename = the checksum is NOT for that file. Checksums can only be provided for the non-bundled packages, because they're static. Bundled installers are not." D
Hold off on AWS Aurora and Postgres until further notice | Hacker News
We've had a sudden crash of the underlying storage (apparently) on one of our production workloads - and because the crash is in the underlying storage the MultiAZ setting makes no difference. Neither the primary nor the replica work.The point in time restore can't complete a restore to the last available point, so this looks like data loss to me. Points a earlier in time work fine, so might be an
Work on SQLite4 has concluded | Hacker News
The relevant change:> This directory contains source code to an experimental "version 4" of SQLite that was being developed between 2012 and 2014. > All development work on SQLite4 has ended. The experiment has concluded. > Lessons learned from SQLite4 have been folded into SQLite3 which continues to be actively maintained and developed. This repository exists as an historical record. There are no
Ask HN: What is your favorite CS paper? | Hacker News
"Reflections on Trusting Trust" by Ken Thompson is one of my favorites.Most papers by Jon Bentley (e.g. A Sample of Brilliance) are also great reads. I'm a frequent contributor to Fermat's Library, which posts an annotated paper (CS, Math and Physics mainly) every week. If you are looking for interesting papers to read, I would strongly recommend checking it out - http://fermatslibrary.com/ - Refl
API Design Guide | Hacker News
I would like to add Microsoft's API Guidelines [1] here, which is also a well written document and can be helpful to anyone designing an API.[1]: https://github.com/Microsoft/api-guidelines/blob/master/Guid... It's interesting that both of these guidelines kind of reject HATEOAS by mandating explicit versioning. It seems that HATEOAS was never really a thing. It's just too complicated to implement
