I've happily used it a few times this year - I almost always check their prices against bigger sites like hotels.com and they can usually provide a lower price if I'm booking after 6PM (before then and it's often the same pri

Of course people are always going to be loud, the apartment downstairs is going to throw parties that last late late into the night. Totally cool with that. There's a difference between that and somebody in the hallway in front of my a

You can still rent an airbnb for a period of over 30 days (so, 31 days) legally with these regulations. Do you find yourself wanting to move around more often than that? I think this is a pretty good compromise all things considered - I&#x2

I think there's a difference - the presence of a permanent resident discourages a lot of the bad behavior people complain about, and provides for a very clear path to accountability if something does happen. Anecdotally, my building ha

Not to mention that the part of town this is limited to is extremely well covered by almost every train, which will virtually always be faster (and cheaper) than getting into an Uber Pool that's going to hop around and pick people up.

Unfortunately, Square Cash just removed their "instant transfers" - https://techcrunch.com/2016/02/29/square-cashs-fast-payments... They just implemented a venmo-style "balance", and takin

The difference is, I think, that you might want to be able to ad-hoc configure the rules without changing code. Going beyond that, you might want to allow people who are not developers to add/remove/change rules around business lo

Yeah! I think a few responses have covered this below, but I'll give you our spin (and why it's painful, compared to what people have offered up). Most of the projects that we're integrating gRPC into are existing codebases t

We use it heavily on multiple projects across languages, and for the most part it works very well. We've had some pain about sharing proto definitions across languages and keeping them in sync. It's probably a much smaller problem

The issue, as another poster pointed out, is not that there are vulnerabilities in the Docker daemon, but that access to the socket inherently gives you access to run arbitrary containers in privileged mode. This allows you access to the fu

by manacit 10y ago
Handing an unprivileged user access to Docker is, functionally, the same as handing them access to sudo. Once you are allowed to run arbitrary Docker containers, you have limitless access to root on the running host. For this reason, I woul

Something that a lot of commenters (and the article) missed is that there is a _lot_ of CA that's not: LA, SF, SD, etc. I grew up (and my parents live) near San Luis Obispo, CA. The central coast has: pockets of perfect weather, proxim

Of course, hobbies and preferences are inherently subjective, but CA has a lot to offer. Parts of the state have (what I consider) perfect weather year round; access to the beach and mountains to ski/snowboard, tons of other outdoor ac

I wanted to like this article, but I feel that it focuses too much on "winning" and "losing" - building software is (mostly) a creative task, and (I think that) treating it like a series of wins and losses can be a dange

Totally - I hope no one read it as anything otherwise. There's a wide chasm of "change" that can happen without the spec changing, was my main point. We run a lot of static analysis on our code, which includes things like `go

by manacit 10y ago
There's a lot that fits between automated tests and code review. We have an extensive system of static analysis and code quality bots that run, but there's still a lot of design patterning and higher level functionality that machi

by manacit 10y ago
Cool! That clarifies things a lot - the way I read the article sounded like you rarely asked for reviews.
168.
by manacit 10y ago
I found this very curious - by their own admission, this also means that most code _does not get reviewed_ before it lands in production. To me, this is quite scary, and I would be very hesitant to adopt this for any large-scale project or

I'll echo what a lot of people are saying, with some caveats. The Go language spec hasn't changed since 1.0 -- that means that, by and large, code written in the days of 1.0 will still compile in 1.6 (and should compile in 1.7). O

I'm not trying to change your opinion (HN is not the place to change one you clearly hold very strongly), but as someone who lives in NYC and spent 4 years living in Seattle (I moved away in 2014), I will happily say that the article y

As a corollary to this, I was laid off from the first "real" software development job I ever worked, when I was an intern (though, I was finishing off the summer with a full time offer in hand). I was interning for a recently acqu

Custom kernel support is actually available for certain distributions on DigitalOcean, though it's not widely marketed. Right now, Debian 8, Ubuntu 15.04, Ubuntu 15.10, Fedora 23 and FreeBSD all allow you to control your kernel version

When Lyft launched in NYC about a year ago, they handed me 15 free rides of $25 or less. For the last few weeks, they've been offering 50% off all Lyft and Lyft Line rides M-F. From what I've seen, Uber offers $25 or so against a

It's not, though. online.net will sell you an x64 server for as low as 6e/m, and with scaleway you can get an ARM server with a significantly better storage story for 10e/m. There are a myriad of low-cost dedicated server pro
