Ask HN: How do you work with Dependabot?
11 by dynamite-ready | 16 comments on Hacker News.
I like the idea of Dependabot. A to that actively tracks down dependency updates can be useful. Where I work, we have a daily CI job that creates a PR for each new dependency and runs a build in both our UI (JavaScript) and API (Python) projects. If the build passes, "Happy Days", we can merge the PR, and the app is all the more secure and effective for it. What I've noticed in practice however, is that occasionally, this process will allow an upgrade to a dependency that will pass the automated build and test step, but introduce the wildest runtime error into the application. Usually at the time when we aim to deliver something. Dependency 'spam' is also a very real issue - https://ift.tt/flQW21N - the daily deluge of often insignificant updates is a trudge to deal with, especially when coupled with the risk of these sly runtime errors. Dependabot is a great idea, but no-one appears to have anything bad, or practical, to say against it. But it does clearly have flaws. I don't think I'd want to switch the bot off, but I would be interested in hearing how other people get on with the tool. Thanks. :]

Was thinking to give them or suggest to take Nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN): 1g per day (available but only from small firms in Europe) Resveratrol: 1g per day (available) Metformin: 800 mg (need a prescription) Omega3 fat oil Do you have better ideas? PS: Got it from David Sinclar. Doctors don't seem to care much about that topic. Actually, started to think about it since, noticed a bit of mental decline and started asking myself what might help against it and in general. Also, might take that stuff for myself as well.

Ask HN: How to say NO to a GitHub issue feature request?
71 by mit20220401 | 69 comments on Hacker News.
Feeling very upset about a feature request. The main reason is, the requester behaves like I am hired to customise the software for him. And I should keep working until he is satisfied. Even if I don't like it, they keep saying this is very good feature, blabla... What should I say? F... off? For these kinds of people, they will never understand the manner of GitHub and do some PR. And they won't pay at all...

New top story on Hacker News: What are the best books or resources on SRE automation that are also practical?

What are the best books or resources on SRE automation that are also practical?
18 by abbadadda | 8 comments on Hacker News.
I’m bought in on the need for automation in SRE, now how do I do it? An SRE team I’m on is making a big push to automate, and I want to make sure we do this right. I also don’t need theoretical SRE books right now, I need some books or resources with case studies of things automated and ideally some code to boot. I’m looking mostly for the “HOW”, but I’m also interested in books to help think about “WHO/WHAT/WHERE/WHEN.” I’m _not_ interested in books that delve deeply into the WHY for either SRE or automation. I’m looking for resources practical applications, ideally with pitfalls to avoid, on how to build a world class DevOps organization and automate the right things on my team. I’m thinking API construction, design patterns to Use/Avoid, fully autonomous systems vs self-service tooling, and SLI construction and measurements. Sorry, this is a lot, but I might be helping to lead this team so I have a lot of questions on the implementation of this (not to mention how to steer office politics) and I’m feeling a bit out of my depth. Any advice on good resources to pursue is most appreciated!!!
