I also recommend this path, but I found it really hard to write all of the required Terraform for the VPC, security groups, load balancers, and Fargate configuration. So I put together an open-source Terraform super-module to automatically

Rust is a great language for writing Python extensions, using a library like PyO3. Some of the most CPU-intensive parts of my company's feature engineering pipeline are now handled in Rust. I would enjoy writing Rust for Python even mo

5.7 TB is small by database standards. I work at a much smaller company and deal with "proportionally" much more data. I don't know if it would be worth the engineering effort to try and archive old data in a way that still m

Sure, but they still wouldn't even be able to imagine some of the things that they could find in a glass of milk. Presumably a spacefaring civilization would be limited by discovery, not production.

I think multicellular life on Earth has likely created complex molecules and other interesting matter that doesn't exist anywhere else in the galaxy. I imagine an alien race would be interested in discovering what is out there--but the

There isn't a super lucrative market for this type of thing that doesn't involve either the buyer or seller violating US law. The real money is probably something more boring than setting up exploits--such as setting up a security

Well, of course. WSL is not Linux. It is Windows. Linux has a massive head start when it comes to performance optimization--especially since most Linux installations don't come with the performance penalty of also running Windows. I&#x

When security is a concern, developers can simply avoid using untrusted crates. But concerns over security are not reason for a package manager to not even exist. Pretty much every major language and operating system has a package manager.

I'm disappointed to see so many negative HN comments about this project. I think it is really cool! You shouldn't use this in a production web service--and the author says as much in the README--I think there are some great uses f

Congratulations! I remember meeting the Canny founders around when they first launched in March 2017. It's great to see how far they've come. They've built a very well-designed product.

I don't think every performance metric has to be tied to an explicit contract. There are thousands of such metrics in a large organization's tech stack. What OP is asking is whether the performance they are seeing is comparable to

Sometimes I wonder how critical it is for an early-stage startup to have a great .com domain name. If Golden had a harder-to-type domain name, would they get the same level of momentum and SEO juice?

I think Kanye has the sheer talent and connections to build the Y Combinator for the music industry. The more fundamental problem is portfolio construction. It is hard to invest in early-career artists on friendly deal terms because the top

People really lose their mind over changing the SSH port. It's not an either/or choice between a non-standard port and all of the other SSH security settings. Nearly anybody that bothers to change the port is also going to follow

I think it is possible to build a better system from scratch, and there are likely space aliens that have such better systems. But ultimately a computing system should do what its users want, and the market has favored backwards-compatibili

I hate to speculate, given that I don't have individual insight about Facebook. However, I did work on developer-facing products at Uber and learned a bit about what it takes for such a product to succeed or fail. Ultimately, the succe
