All my evidence is anecdotal, based on talking to my users. But that'd be a great topic for developer survey. Also, I'm quoting Perens' definition of open source.

I'm on mobile and with family today so I can't respond in-depth (happy independence day!), but have ever wondered why the term "source-available" has changed meaning, yet the term "open-source" is not 'all

The readers may not like it, but you're not actually wrong. Go ask 100 developers if BSL or ELv2 are open source and the majority of them will say that it is -- because the source code is available, and for the majority of users, thes

I see docker-compose.prod.yml -- but I was under the impression that nobody used docker-compose in production, and I vaguely remember that it was even discouraged by Docker. Is that what docker-compose is used for now? Am I misremembering?

I actually think cs.github.com is now the same as github.com/search. It was in beta for awhile but they recently started redirecting it.

Since when can you run heroku pg:upgrade to switch database tiers? I've been following an upgrade sequence I put together over the years [^0], but I guess Heroku automated this at some point? What would be really funny is if this had b

Well, that's kind of embarrassing... the JS example is also all sorts of messed up.

Is the Go example even valid? I've never seen that (arr: [[]]int) syntax.

Pretty much. They want the burden of proof for SLAs to fall on the customer, not on themselves. If a customer has to prove that an outage specifically affected them, they are much less likely to have a successful case against the failure to

I wrote my company's CLI [0] in Go using the Cobra framework, and I don't regret it at all. Cross-platform compilation is a breeze, and having a single binary to distribute is *chef's kiss*. [0]: https://github.com

I got to the chess move and didn't feel like putting in the effort there.

Thanks. Picked it up again today. The hint helped find the right port. Stuck on level 13 now. Tried dig, but nothing substantial came up even with +trace. But maybe I don't enough about dig.

That was likely due to the Reddit blackout. I'd imagine a lot of those users will go back to Reddit since HN generally doesn't appreciate shitposting.

Probably right. I have a 4 year old and a 1 year old, so more like 2.5 adults lol. But we eat beef and fish more often than chicken.

It was fun at first, but I've been stuck on step 7 for about 15 mins. Calling it. The hints are a bit too vague for me. Tried different ports (thought I had it there), different HTTP methods, and a few Accept content-types. Spent >3

This is impressive. I wonder if they took any downtime during the migration of HEY (or Basecamp). I'm surprised this hasn't had more discussion.

The idea of sending an email to team@ which then automatically, without any further input, blasts a newsletter with the aforementioned email's content seems... badly designed? That was ripe for accidental or deliberate misuse.

A recent conversation here [^0] reminded me of this. Thought it was a good read. [^0]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36256236

The problem is that I'm not talking to managers when seeing the term open source, most of the time I'm talking to programmers. Literally all techies. Many of them can use, modify, and distribute my SAS free of charge , like every

If I could give one recommendation here: fully document the paid features. You have zero docs that I could find on how you do authentication, authorization, subscriptions, or multi-tenancy. These are going to be the main reasons for people

FWIW, I had a hard time determining the source of a spike of traffic today because it had no referrer. It ended up being from HN, coming from some auxiliary discussion happening on a run-of-the-mill comment I made. I saw the rel=noreferrer
