How about carrying an USB-C SSD with VMs on it? You can have however many switches you want, not just one.

New comment by avitzurel in "Ask HN: Someone is using my email to register to a bunch of services"

avitzurel — Thu, 23 Apr 2020 19:12:28 +0000

I am posting some information here in case someone encounters this.

This seems like a type of DDOS attack to hide an email from a financial service.

All of these emails are essentially meant to hide the order of 850$ in the flurry of other emails.

Some information from a Google thread: https://support.google.com/mail/forum/AAAAK7un8RUCTPjR3thcdQ...

This seems scripted. My email is not common.

I am getting ~300 of these from different websites, newsletters, etc.

Ask HN: Someone is using my email to register to a bunch of services

avitzurel — Thu, 23 Apr 2020 18:42:37 +0000

Hey all,

In the last 20 minutes, I got probably around 200 emails congratulating me on registering to the website/newsletter.

This is my personal email

In addition, my credit card has been used to purchase 850$ worth of goods (called Amex, canceled the card).

I changed my email password obviously, canceled the card.

What else can I do? Did this ever happen to you? Have any advice?

We work primarily with python and JS (Flask, GraphQL, express), we have everything as infrastructure-as-code and we have ~200 micro-services running in production.

On the AI side - we focus on core research for NLP processing and developing recommender systems. If DL transformer networks, reinforcement learning, and large scale web crawling interests you then get in touch!

New comment by avitzurel in "Ask HN: Does anyone record themselves while programmming?"

avitzurel — Wed, 29 Jan 2020 17:43:41 +0000

I've never done it for myself. I did, however, do it for screencasting (Twitch and YouTube).

There are a couple of things here:

1. Talking to yourself is extremely useful. You'll be surprised by how effective it is. 2. A recording is not very useful because discovery is awful. Even though all my content is on YouTube, There's no way I can find that one time I fixed an interesting bug or implemented something complicated. Without proper logging of what you did and indexing in the video, it will just be like any other video you take with your GoPro, hours of nothing.

What I found to be really effective with my teams is this: 1. Draw your thoughts. 2. Write up a mini-plan of how you want to "attack" this 3. Talk through it, even if it's only to yourself. 4. Pseudo Code and Pseudo Flows of data

New comment by avitzurel in "Why we're ending support for MySQL"

avitzurel — Wed, 03 Jul 2019 15:39:14 +0000

I realize my comment hit a sensitive spot but it's really not meant to be negative.

It is 100% legit to give that up, it is 100% legit to go with the clear winner in your mind (it is the same in my mind too), but the technical reasoning is weak IMHO.

if you wanted to support both, you can, but you clearly don't (and that's ok too).

New comment by avitzurel in "Why we're ending support for MySQL"

avitzurel — Wed, 03 Jul 2019 12:37:20 +0000

IMHO, this comes down to one thing. They lack the talent (and/or the will/resources to recruit it) to operate MySQL.

I can TOTALLY get the reasoning behind supporting only a single engine but the reasoning they write there are either wrong or misguiding.

Used Auth0 before with great success. They support SSO and everything you need.
