#42Is this a bug on Valve? Or is it simply a case of "My ISP is fucking with my internet traffic and they won't admit it please help me"

How do they inspect traffic when most is https?
Encrypted by Cloudflare, so they just use the keys to decrypt it again.
Many organizations, surprisingly, still do things like using Kubernetes with TLS terminated at the ingress. In that case, you just need the splitter in the same network as the nodes hosting the ingress controller. Or inspect the unencrypted traffic within the cluster.
It takes a non-trivial amount of work to set up a service mesh (and mutual TLS between services), so many k8s clusters end up with unencrypted traffic inside the cluster network.

#44Valve fascinates me because the devs there occasionally seem to be simply the best on earth in a given field, but despite that, bizarre bugs will persist for a long time. My favorite was how steam in home streaming from a PC to a steam deck wouldn't work if the steam deck had an Ethernet and wifi connection - one of the connections had to be disabled or the stream would always crash. Maybe they need a few average dev…
Valve famously has a very flat org structure so it's possible that that problem just isn't sexy enough for someone to pick it up on their own, without being told by a higher-up. I wish they offered remote; I'd happily work there doing those sorts of unglamorous bug fixes. High-reliability engineering is my jam.
People keep blaming the flat org, as if conventionally-organised companies never had any bugs or never focused on very visible and marketable features rather than bug fix.
In fact, the flat org allows a random person to work on a niche bug management doesn’t seem to care about, which wouldn’t be possible if you had a boss breathing down your neck.

Unnecessarily political. Israel children are not the one who are cheering the war, nor fighting in it.

GitHub discussions used to be so much higher quality though when the platform was for professionals. Now, I see so many discussions that devolve into practically being reddit/4chan threads. Another reason to leave.
Only on those posted to social media including Hacker News. There is no devolving into memes for niche discussions only interested parties know about. Don’t blame Github for getting spammed whenever an issue reaches the front page.
Not only. I see it across all of GitHub. Spam, +1 comments, feature begging are all particularly common.

#49My unpopular opinion: Valve is basically a parasite or a landlord. They've been so successful it's hard to imagine a world without them, and they say "you gotta give the parasite its due" and we believe them and comply. It's been kept around because they treat their customers ok, but they absolutely exsanguinate their developers. And their engineering culture is... odd. They hire senior people and then let them all f…
Eh, Steam is kind of like the liberal democratic US empire. It may be evil in a lot of ways but it could actually be a LOT worse. We may actually historically be very lucky to have had a non-shittificationmaxxing games platform for a couple decades, just like we were lowkey lucky that the world was briefly ruled by a somewhat democratic country.. Enjoy both while they last, may not be around long.

They say they have a flat structure. People who have worked there, despite some axe-grinding, indicate otherwise.
