Mentally, I add the prefix “communication” whenever I see references to (graphic) designers. It helps me keep what their ultimate responsibility should be in any software project: to communicate, as clearly as possible, within the chosen me

I guess the parent is referring to an eventuality of getting noticed by moderators repeatedly, they kick you out of their platform completely to save them any more headaches.

Although @sanity31415 has offered to get in touch with his 33mail product, there's also the option of standing up a REST API server in front of your mailboxes. There is an open source product called IMAP API which is available under 2

HN is a tough crowd, especially for technical products that are familiar to many. Even though it’s pretty clear who your target market is, I think technical products cause commenters to roast your product from a technical end user frame, ra

I’m a bit confused by the opening sentence of your second paragraph. Perhaps we are using multi-tenant to describe slightly different things. A multi-tenant setup avoids the pain of maintaining multiple version in production. All multi-tena

You’ve made valid points but have failed to see who the target market is for a service like this: people who are not technical enough to stand up a Ghost server by themselves AND are too price sensitive to pay for the lowest tier of $29&#x2

IOW, you are consciously competing with Ghost(Pro)’s lowest plan $29/mo, which I have no problem with. How do you intend to manage the actual Ghost instances: single-tenant or multi-tenant? I’m assuming customer instances will be run s

Absolutely. Unfortunately, although Tim Cook has been at Apple for decades, he can't make the kind of bold, risky decisions that a founder who's been there from day 1 would.

I parsed "shadow" in this context as things that challenge you emotionally as person. Personal difficulties that you'd rather pretend to not exist like a drug addiction. People who run from their shadow avoid having an honest

I agree with everything in your comment save for a small quip about terminology. When you wrote "as some failing of capitalism", I believe the economic concept of "market forces" would have conveyed the same message bett

Same here. I just heard about them yesterday, while browsing for interesting new startups in the "Who is Hiring" thread. (Link for the curious: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25266584 ).

Models are tools to help us reason clearly about the world. They help us deal with complexity in manageable chunks by focusing on salient parts of a problem, rather than the whole. From my course notes, a nearly comprehensive summary of how

API as a term is context-dependent. It is one of those terms where it is easy to cause disagreement—as is evident in this thread—because you failed to define what you really mean by your use of the term. API is a term of art—it means differ

Off-topic: I like the look of your blog. Is your theme a heavily customized instance of Jekyll?

Your first sentence is peak HN :) On a serious note, kentonv properly prefaced his opinion with a qualifier “I'd argue that ...” but you somehow interpreted it as a fact ... Anyway, if you think the person you replied to does not unde

The similarity between the HN & IH communities only runs skin deep with the use of ‘Hacker’ in their names. Is IH are more supportive crowd? A resounding yes, but that’s because as a group it was designed as a support mechanism for peop

Perhaps they didn’t try due to the difference in package management? Fedora/openSuSE are RPM-based distros while Ubuntu uses Debian packages.

Thanks for the link but there was no need for you to be patronizing about it. FWIW, I originally thought your mention of Azul was a typo, so I parsed your comment as "Azure and Microsoft" before I realized the tautology, which was

IIRC, Azul is a hardware vendor for the JVM ... can you please share a public source on this collaboration between Azul & Microsoft?

It's a bit more nuanced than that. The best way to think of food delivery businesses funded by VCs is to think of them as payday lenders. Some background reading: https://themargins.substack.com/p/doordash-and-pizz
