Handling of connections in either direction. Our company built a service that is able to receive WebSocket connections and send the activity to a HTTP backend. So this use case I'm familiar with and it sounds like you're doing som

Congrats on the launch! I work on possibly similar tooling. The Emitter website is light on details. Is it for receiving connections or making them?

If the ZeroMQ community seems quieter lately it's because things work well and there's not much left to do within the project's intentionally limited scope. libzmq is certainly maintained. Our company has been using ZeroMQ fo

Argh, I ran into this last week. I ended up just copying the code and nudging. I wonder if a macro could be used as a workaround?

Assuming that's true, it would be interesting to know what the alternative funding sources are, and whether they're appropriate or accessible to non-wealthy first timers building product companies. VC is ostensibly generally acces

> for founders going down a traditional VC path Has this been much of a choice? I figure most tech founders either get on the VC track or don't get to have a company. "Funding for bootstrappers" seems like a relatively new

Great to see innovation in the fundraising process. As a founder, the things that bother me the most about fundraising are: 1. The experience imbalance. VCs do pitch meetings every day for years on end. Founders, not so much. No wonder the

No. The private network was originally shared across all accounts, but later on they changed it to be isolated per account. It's been that way for a couple of years. The introduction of VPC just means you can isolate within the same ac

It looks like Osapy acts as a proxy to an arbitrary destination server. Requestbin and similar tools are for receiving and saving HTTP requests, but not proxying them out to somewhere else. So that's an important difference. Although I

Neat! FF Proxy reminds me of one of my projects ( https://github.com/fanout/zurl ), but more extreme since the sender uses raw UDP. It seems like it would be great for remote use by lightweight senders. Maybe low power

I don't know the details of the new law, but separating healthcare from employment is a positive step towards fixing the system.

Indeed. And FB retaining Instagram/Whatsapp apps+branding effectively squashes future "unbundling" attempts. The way I look at it, if not even Google can beat FB at personal social networking (Google+), then FB has a monopoly

An async function compiles down a function that returns an iterable-ish state machine thing (a Future), that needs to be stepped through. The await keyword indicates a yield point. It's kind of like how if you declare a Python function

"here's your out" is a good way of putting it. :) When I'm on the buyer side, often one of my top concerns is understanding how I could potentially stop using a thing. Usually this comes down to selecting tools based on

Hi, our company ( https://fanout.io ) was the one that was interviewed here. The formatting of the article seems a little messed up. Hopefully they fix that. For those curious about the technical specifics of our two offerings, we

Not a full solution, but there's the API at https://hnstream.com/ for getting realtime updates of comments, which could be used to build a notification system.

If you want to support websockets from a not-always-on backend, you can use Fanout or Amazon API Gateway.

For anyone wanting to understand how to implement a basic engine for std::future from scratch, I mashed some code until it worked: https://gist.github.com/jkarneges/cb1ee686ef97bb05ebe04b5fc6... It's based mostly

Doing this fairly seems really difficult, when there are people who didn't go to college (but may have wanted to), and people who did go and paid off their debt.

Most of the arguments may not be new, but given the overwhelming reaction to the recent blog post, I think it would be worth reflecting on that reaction and seeing if there isn't a reasonable way for the crowd to be heard. For example,

Good point. Maybe the best approach would be postfix but with a more fitting keyword than await. I wonder if alternative keywords were considered rather than only operators?

I figure the reason the proposed syntax looks gross is because other languages have been using a prefixed await for many years. The Rust decision seems well thought out though, enough to make me wonder if perhaps other languages have been d
