Tell HN: By default, New Relic will start collecting production log data on 5/3 25 by ed | 8 comments on Hacker News. Unless you've been very careful, your production logs almost certainly contain secrets or personally identifying information. I was surprised (and annoyed) to receive the email below from New Relic, stating that on 5/3 they will start ingesting all production log data, by default. To make matters worse, if you provisioned New Relic through Heroku, you can only opt out (by enabling High Security Mode) if you contact support. And if you're on the free plan, you can't open support tickets so have to ask on the community forum. > New Relic APM agents will collect log data starting 5/3! We’ve been hard at work making improvements to our APM and logging capabilities, and when you update certain APM agents starting May 3, 2022, logs will be automatically collected and sent to New Relic One. Logs are a critical telemetry type for observability and this new fea

Ask HN: What Happened to Pinboard (April '22 edition)? 10 by ihodes | 0 comments on Hacker News. There have been threads like this before (last one in 1.5 months ago: https://ift.tt/YxOTrbK), but I'm not really sure what to do. I've emailed Maciej on 4/13/21, 12/11/21, and 4 times in the past month (a more urgent issue) with no response. Full-text search is regularly broken, archiving doesn't work sometimes, and most recently my >5yr archiving account was disabled on 4/1 with no warning or ability to re-up, so as far as I know I've lost archived bookmarks from up to a decade ago (don't remember when I turned on the service). It doesn't look like When I tried to re-up my archiving account, I selected 10 years, but was charged for 1 year (without the 10 yr discount, of course) instead. I really have enjoyed using Pinboard, and have been since at least 2011 (when the entry was created in 1pw), but this is a bummer and I'm not sure what to do. I really

Ask HN: What should I bring up during salary negotiation as a junior developer? 6 by _lgj5 | 5 comments on Hacker News. So i am a junior software developer in a large consultant company and have my first salary negotitations soon and need some help. I was told all juniors would increase the same in a sort of collective way since some did not get the same chances when it came to projects and performance, however my boss said there was a small change they would consider giving a larger raise based on performance. I have been lucky and got a very good project, as in I could show my strengths and it's a high value customer. During the project i took a lot of initiative and responsibility, we were 3 developers working on it (2 seniors and me) and luckily one of them is my boss. The project is now being used by the customer and I am the only one maintaining the project and feeling I have taken even more responsibility than was expected. The project was fairly large consisting of 2 fro

Show HN: Add live runnable code to your dev docs 20 by mlejva | 8 comments on Hacker News. Hi HN community, I'm Vasek, co-founder, and CEO of Devbook [0]. Devbook is an SDK that you add to your docs website and then every time a user visits your dev docs, we spin up a VM just for that user. The VM is ready in about 18-20 seconds. We haven't had enough time to work on optimization but from our early tests, we are fairly confident we can get this to about 1-2 seconds. In the VM you can run almost anything. Install packages, edit & save files, run binaries, services, etc. You as a documentation owner have full control over the VM. We give you full access to filesystem, shell, stdout, and stderr. You don't have to worry about any infrastructure management. It's just one line of code on your frontend. On the backend, the VM is a Firecracker microVM [1] with our custom simple orchestrator/scheduler built on top that just gets the job done. We chose Firecracker for 4 re

Show HN: Multiplayer Demo Built with Elixir 11 by wenbo | 1 comments on Hacker News. Hey HN, I’m an engineer at Supabase [0] and one of the creators of this demo. My team and I have been working hard to bring developers the next version of Supabase Realtime. The current version of Realtime [1] is a Change Data Capture (CDC) server for a PostgreSQL database that broadcasts changes via WebSockets to authorized subscribers. It’s written in Elixir/Phoenix. The server utilizes PostgreSQL’s logical replication functionality, which writes database changes to Write-Ahead Logging (WAL) segment files, and a replication slot, responsible for managing and retaining WAL files. Database changes are polled from WAL by the server using PostgreSQL’s replication function pg_logical_slot_get_changes and changes converted to JSON objects using the wal2json [2] extension by setting it as the output plugin. Security is enforced through two checks - each check ensures only authorized client subscribers ar

Show HN: Pipedream 2.0 – AWS Lambda + Zapier alternative 69 by todsacerdoti | 21 comments on Hacker News. Hey HN! Pipedream is an integration and compute platform purpose-built for developers building workflows and connecting cloud services. You can author workflows without writing any code: Pipedream supports over 700 integrated applications (GitHub, Slack, etc) [1] and all connectors are open source [2]. In addition, you can write any Node.js, Python, Go, or Bash code within workflows, extending the pre-built integrations with your own custom logic. Since we launched Pipedream on HN [3], over 300k developers have used the product. Pipedream developers tell us consistently that they love the code-level control when they need it, and the built-in, no code integrations when they don't. But we’ve also heard consistent feedback that the product needed to be easier to use, support more language runtimes, and provide a native Git integration. In Pipedream v2, we have re-imagined the

Show HN: Codestat.dev – Stats from 2M open-source repositories 10 by slimsag | 3 comments on Hacker News. Hi HN! This is a little site I put together while learning the Elm language as part of a hackathon at my work, I thought you might enjoy it. Be sure to click the `(source)` buttons next to the graphs: you can edit them interactively & write your own queries against the entire data set. The syntax isn't well documented yet, but you can probably get the general idea pretty quickly based on the examples there. If you like it, have questions, etc. let me know! If folks think this is cool, maybe I can get it turned into a legit project. :)

Turo Requires a Driver's License Number and Credit Card to Show Full Price 101 by tr3ntg | 100 comments on Hacker News. I know they're simply following Airbnb's model of showing only the daily price, then tacking on extra fees at checkout, but it's hostile to the customer. When the minimum final cost is 50% more than the list price, I suppose deception is the best way to drive signups. Ironically, I may have been more likely to complete my purchase had I seen true numbers from the start. The initial fee had me thinking it was remarkably affordable.
