While running Heysan (YC W-07) we were having a hard time hiring; startups were a hard sell back then, and given we were building a product aimed at feature phones it was harder still to convince folks to join. We faced a meaningful decisio

As a very happy user of Robinhood financial, this really does look exciting. If you’ve not used robinhood, and have a little interest in investing, I’ve found their simple interface to be very nice to use relative to the more heavy weight o

I subscribe to some news sites (WaPo, The Guardian, NYT, The Economist) — they each have a much better hook than WSJ which just dumps you into this weird limbo. I wonder how successful this approach is versus the “5 free articles a month” a

Generally M&A involves due diligence; which involves assessing the business and the technology. It aims to summarize assets and liabilities. It would surprise me significantly if a viable product was not acquired because of a technology

As a 3-4l of water/day type of person I have first hand encountered the lack of salt (cramps while I sleep) and also the solution: add salt to your diet. I makes the food taste nice to boot!

This is an interesting read. The structured approach to writing (code or prose) with intent is surprisingly rare among developers of various skill levels in my experience. One of the key pieces of advice I give to new recruits is "writ

Part of the appeal of automobile revolution is how it'll empower folks with motor control issues to become a bigger part of society versus being home bound; so I think this request has merit.

I had been quite skeptical of Clean Architecture when I first came across it. I don't find Uncle Bob's post on it particularly insightful; for me it's not vocational enough. Then a few years ago I had to maintain a software s

Thanks for raising this. Anecdotally text in both cases appears to render first which makes sites workable. Images are consistently the laggards. In the AMP case the text content is always reasonable (i.e. formatted well) whereas in the non

There's a deep irony in AMP also, purely anecdotally it doesn't seem to help with slow connections. I'm traveling and as such my US carrier restricts me to 2G speeds while roaming somehow, which is resulting in me seeing a lo

This appears to be a brilliant case of reliability engineering. I'm always super impressed with these sorts of tales; given how NASAs budget always seems to be concern seeing them deliver solutions which have just enough wiggle room in

An important aspect of the infosec philosophy my employer pushes is "blast radius". If you assume you will be compromised then you want to ensure as little data as possible ends up in that compromise. Coupled with the opportunity

Yes, Dobbs captures this here. To be clear, the first re-write of the chat service was from twisted python into tornado python. In that re-write we produced a number of services which implemented the biz logic. One of those services was a T

This whole thread is really interesting but I think it misses a key point: developing countries. The issue with these pages getting larger is that it creates two webs: one that work on the slower networks of less developed countries and ano

Monoliths have their role in the world, certainly! I've heard Facebook have a mantra of sorts about their monolith, if anyone here could corroborate that would be great. It goes something like: - build v1 in the monolith - do users lik

Posts like this are interesting, I felt it started out about "I'm going to teach you about docker" and then shifted into a piece about general technical decision making; and being pragmatic. Docker has fast become my world: f

I've an XPS 13, and I like it a lot. I use i3 as my window manager which, due to being keyboard driven, is quite infuriating on this device. The trackpad is incredibly sensitive and the heel of my hand being within 2" or so will t

But once you find it, oh boy, can you make it make money. I'm always astonished at how companies like Activision can make billions per release of Call of Duty. EA with their yearly cadence of sports sims is another example.

I love this answer. "Situational Leadership" [1] is a philosophy that has served me well as a manager and as someone that has been managed by an inexperienced manager. It benefits from a strict definition of the mental state indiv

Hi there, I think tools like this are good. Changelogs are a helpful piece of information within a repo/project. It's not clear from the site whether this also generates a human readable form of the log, say in markdown, that woul

Presuming this is not the end; it's a great start! I consume 90% of my HN content on mobile. I like the list view a lot more. I think commenting should be worked on next.
