Yeah. it's not new. basically every programming language that respects itself has it in the form of: - with blah do x - using blah do x - try(blah) { do x } - File.open(blah, 'w') {|f| f.write(x) } - there are

working on beekeeper: https://github.com/mirceal/beekeeper Still very early (will do a proper showHN once it has decent quality and I polish some of the rough edges) but would love some feedback on the idea

the man is a legend. Perl was awesome when it first came out. Its time has passed but you can see Perl's influence in many things we use and take for granted today. favorite writing: http://www.wall.org/~larry/pm.h

to me this sounds like complaining about evolution (in the biological terms). things are evolving, some experiments are failing, better ways of doing things are emerging. is it stressful? sure. can one at sometimes feel overwhelmed? absolut

do you know if there is a way to cache things if used across multiple apps?

look pretty awesome. never heard of this before. I'm sure it has some caveats...

ruby, java, perl :S , python, roll-your-own have done it all. :) yes, the learning curve can be pretty steep, but one thing that always helps is that the probability that there is somebody out there that did it already is very high. you jus

hah. I believe you either don't understand Brazil (the build system) or you had to deal with inexperienced people that don't get it. IMHO the internal Amazon tooling is THE reason Amazon is able to build things so fast and to iter

meh. this has zero chances of competing with github. I think it's meant more for Google Cloud Platform users to have a place where to store their code within the same "cloud"

btw, I don't buy into the "Devops" hype. Devops, like Agile should die. When you're building something if operations is something you push to later stages and you bring in a "devops" person you've already

did not mean it as offensive. it is creative and it is a workaround to serious flaws in working with cloudwatch logs.

would argue that it's not just the userland. you only have the functionality you need and your bits. for example an http server would have the http stack + your app. there is no userland, there are no drivers, just your app as the only

that's pretty awesome. I am still surprised how much the experience of using cloudwatch logs sucks. On so many levels: from installing the cloudwatch log agent on a box, limits on pushing logs, forcing you to pass in the sequenceToken

unikernel basically means that you pack your application and only the lower level bits and pieces that you need to get it working. you no longer have an OS in the traditional sense.

maybe true, but it wouldn't not be such a great story if it was framed as you put it :)

technical debt is actually worst than financial debt. imagine an interest rate of x%. now imagine that one day the bank comes in and says: now your interest rate is going to be 20x. you don't get a say in it and you cannot refinance. a

it's cool. the leap from prototype to production-ready is always a big one.

sure. as a side project there're nothing wrong with it :) I was just pointing out the pitfalls of lease parsing (i've been bitten by this over the course of time - it looks trivial to do until you look at what isc does under the c

interesting idea. if it's an excuse to play with something all for it. that being said: parsing isc dhcp lease files is a can of worms you probably don't want to open. to give you an example: what happens if the same machine appea
