What are your SLAs? Do you have any data on the latency overhead this service introduces? Historical uptimes and postmortems on outages? These are all factors I'd use to evaluate the engineering maturity of a service like this.

> Linus' 'Shut the fuck up' was to a developer who refused to take responsibility for his code, and blamed someone else's code. I think this is what Sarah objected to. Criticism should be welcome, but is it asking too

At Uber we use redis as a broker for 10k+ requests per second (pushing 50k one some days) with up to several million items backed up. This is a single redis instance with replication turned on and RDB snapshots for durability. Curious how o

What do you do exactly? Does the stripe api really need simplification? If you're trying to take the development out of using stripe, why not just use Square?

I've taken Uber to OAK and other airports from SF dozens of times. You had a spot of bad luck with cancellations—they're in fact extremely rare, and I've taken hundreds of trips. On top of that, drivers cannot see your desti

It's frustrating that this perspective doesn't get more attention. HN and tech in general pays lip service to addressing social problems, but it's primarily concerned with congratulating its own success and getting defensive

Your website is deeply and terribly confusing. "Deliver purchase intended visitors?" Who says that? I would have no idea what you do without looking at your docs or this post.

Computer algebra system that yields the steps it takes to produce a result. Mainly intended as an educational tool to help teach math. This is actually my first side project since I (re)learned to program a few months ago—everything I'

Dear companies supporting this project, I've got a better idea: pledge a fraction of your profits with a charity of your choice instead of conditioning your philanthropy on some arbitrary metric.

What this guy said. This book is analogous to learning a programming language by reading only the documentation for its standard library. You need to understand the fundamentals to know how to use what you're reading. Browse /r&#x

Webflow, an existing product, is much more powerful and pretty affordable. Macaw, if it's as awesome as it looks in the demo, may be better than Webflow. This, this is thoroughly underwhelming. Sorry. If open source is your biggest dif

I love the idea. And this deserves more attention. But two gripes: 1.) "Hacker News Nation is Live" is a very ambiguous headline. A lot of people who would've found this interesting never clicked through because what is this?

I regularly give apps permission to post on my wall, because almost every app will ask me before posting. In addition, the posts usually contain relevant content: spotify posts songs I listen to, goodreads posts book updates. Your app pos

I'm usually pretty generous with Facebook login and I find the paranoia surrounding it ridiculous, but when your site posted directly to my wall THE MOMENT I SIGNED UP without any kind of notice, I was fucking incensed. Not only was it

Sorry, but lower your pricing on the 2nd and 3rd tiers by at least half and I'll consider the purchase. Too bad the pricing is nuts, because this looks like an excellent resource. But there are comparable quality resources available

The other posts have covered the copy/design issues pretty thoroughly, but they largely ignore something I've found devastates conversion: you have not one, not two, but FOUR calls to action above the fold. Users are more likely t

Ah, self help tripe. A world in which the experiences of one person are assumed to be universal, and where depression can be solved by sitting in silence for one hour. Congratulations on your blog post/book full of platitudes and clich

As a Webflow user, this seems to handle a lot of the things that annoy me about Webflow and gives the author more freedom. All around, it seems like a better product. Super keen on giving this a go when it's ready. Oh and no monthly

I don't know about this. The post compares items where the seller chooses to price at whole numbers versus where the seller chooses to subtract a penny. It seems to me like a more likely explanation is that less savvy sellers who produ

What paranoid tripe, complete with mass downvote conspiracy theory pandering. I never thought I'd hear someone on hacker news actually complain about search engine results not being commercial enough . Most of the changes you describe
