We considered a few options before rewriting it. I've got a draft blog post about the process laying around, but haven't gotten around to getting it over the finish line. We definitely knew the risk going into it. Fortunately, i

It's actually quite good now using Gnome with Wayland on Arch Linux (latest releases of the various components). Only a few apps have given me trouble in recent times.

This is a pretty vapid article. Surprised to see it on the front page.

Give me an option to pay and be more clear in your data policy and maybe I'll give it a shot. I've been wanting something like this for a while but the privacy policy is pretty vague and far too broad for me to trust a service lik

Not at all. We mostly use Go internally for backend services, so if anything that was a point for NSQ.

Reliability, scalability and tooling (in that order). Basically Kafka provides what NSQ is lacking: https://nsq.io/overview/features_and_guarantees.html Messages are durable (across nodes, not just persisted to the fi

I'm working at Segment now as a Software Engineer in Infrastructure. We just went through a big effort to remove NSQ (in favor of Kafka). Happy to answer any questions.

Fair enough. I'm very curious what will happen in the coming weeks. I hope both nations come to a peaceful agreement to allow for continued autonomy in Hong Kong.

It's pretty surreal watching this conflict play out. I'm still shocked this is happening on the international stage and other nations are unwilling to take sides in the conflict. I wonder what happens when the tension comes to a

I've seen refurbished 2015 Macbook Pros going for 2000+. It was really the peak of apple's build quality.

This is somewhat a faulty analysis. One could easily use a high accuracy bloom filter to store whether a search has definitely not been seen before, and that would be an estimate on the lower bound of the error margin.

Research suggests strongly that this armchair analysis is wrong [1]. I personally don't advocate for completely eliminating meat from our diets, but it's pretty naive to outright deny the environmental impact (including greenhouse

It's pretty simple actually. Think of energy as a closed loop system down here on earth. Now imagine the amount of energy it takes to: Grow the feed to feed the animals, butcher and transport the meat/dairy in refrigerated vehic

Their moat is sticky? They were simply the first company to do hosted chat well enough that it didn't constantly piss people off. I wouldn't call that a sticky moat.

Very much agree. This type of analysis is hard to quantify but anecdotally I don't know many people who have written Go, Rust or Typescript that would prefer python, ruby, java, javascript or c++ for their daily work after using them.

Thanks. I'm terrible with apostrophes in grammar. Pretty sure it's just a muscle memory thing, haha.

That was the first thought I had when I saw the title of the organization "Moms Across America". Sounds like it was named by a corporate team of lawyers, PR and Marketing professionals for politically charged yet monetarily motiv

Heh, funny that you mention that ZMQ is overlooked. While often though of a message passing library or serverless queue, Zero MQ has some pretty severe limitations that implementers fail to consider. To be clear, I think it's an amazi

It's not a case of buildpacks vs dockerfiles. They both solve different problems with different solutions. Buildpacks fit nicely into the heroku way of doing things. But at any medium to large sized engineering organization, there&#x

Yeah, but it's still a helluva lot easier with a Coach or a Champion than it is without.
