   They have "AWS Budgets" for alerting you if you go over an amount but no automatic stops.

    Embedded means it runs in your application process not a standalone server / service.

    Just the first one to be so bold. This happens in every batch AFAIK. YC continually invests in competing companies, sometimes back-to-back batches and sometimes in the same batch.

    These issues crop up in dependencies more than your code. Then you have to vendor one of the deps and edit it (and hopefully ship that back upstream and hope the maintainer will merge it).

    Fair. Maybe this is good evidence of my naturally pessimistic disposition. I was quite active with the initial replies and didn't feel like it was giving any credit to a framework.

    I have no idea. I never considered that it would affect using the race detector and it's been so long now I don't know that we cared / ran into this issue so no clue if it has been fixed. Thanks for opening my eyes to this sh

    Astounding. Content is going to quickly be devalued with these tools becoming so pervasive. It has a robotic, monotonous vibe but that is gonna be easily fixable.

    It's a really neat concept but definitely too deep for me. I bounced off of it pretty quick. I like tower defense games as a time waster and this needed too much thinking :) I expected to like it because I managed to make it through mo

    I really don't understand the hate for a framework in "the community". I had stayed away from Go for about 3 years and I posted on r/golang asking if anything had popped up like a django in go and got nothing but hate. I

    I am over Gin and have been for years yet everyone keeps using it because it has inertia. The docs are garbage. Big fan of Echo and it has much better docs. https://echo.labstack.com/

    Sure could. Any plumbing situation can leak and any holding tank can fill up to capacity. (Or run out of water.) But I also looked up recommended amounts of portable toilets and a couple websites do confirm 12 single user units are enough f

    Way back redis didnt have passwords at all. That got added but there was no secure transport support. So I ran redis in a higher memory box at rackspace separate from my db and my app server. I used autossh to forward 6379 from localhost on

    Really needs to be regulated with some kind of oversight for this kind of silliness, and even better, needs a way for users to sideload when they choose to accept the risk and let devs sell direct. I side with Epic on that one.
