Great point. In a weird way it makes the whole relanding the boosters thing SpaceX did seem like it was obviously within the realm of our capabilities if we were ambitious enough. And it makes their next goal of 'catching rockets'

There were tweets by the author of this article suggesting more nefarious involvement here. Doesn’t seem to be much substantiation though. [1] https://twitter.com/nicoleperlroth/status/134690958021993676...

Are you suggesting there’s hypocrisy in being against the disappearing of business leaders while being pro anti-monopolistic behavior?

In theory the linked APE library [1] can also be used for languages like Rust and Go binaries to make fat portable ones as well, right? [1] https://justine.storage.googleapis.com/ape.html

The excluded parts I'd be interested in is cross-compiling + concurrency. Awesome work, sure it will get there either way :)

CloudFlare has leveraged the fact that they are pretty close to the sole provider of DDoS (which 99% of people don't need to worry about) beautifully. Once your in for the DNS/DDoS/Nginx-as-a-service adding anything else is a

Sort of related: Is there any measure for cost-to-innovate out there? I’m also curious whether there was a ton of low hanging fruit for innovating/organizing/sciences that we plucked. The “first 90% is easier than the second 90%”

Yikes! This thread. First time I’ve seen negative comments on Stripe like this on HN. I guess this is what happens when you grow! You eventually become one of ‘them’, start squeezing for the same reasons the folks in the last cycle did, and

This sounds like a nomenclature thing. I’m sure any reasonable developer would agree it makes sense to test expected output of a program that isn’t strictly for debugging purposes (type A mentioned above), it’s just that is usually called o

If you use golang, I can’t recommend reading parts of the standard library enough. Make sure you can jump to source easily! This is true for many languages (less interpreted ones that are partly in C). Given how there are very few ways to d

Poor Docker. They created an ecosystem and tooling that is now critical to a large majority of software teams. Many cloud providers built large lucrative services on top of it using their existing networks to get market share (e.g EKS/

Man these kind of views bother me so much. They’re taking one of the most (if not, most) useful documentation sources for cross platform web development that benefits them very little, and moving it to a system of open contribution so it ca

I wonder this as well but outside the HN community. I don’t think many folks I know still attribute Google with the flakiness that this community does.

Sure, it's a fair question :) The idea came to me when I saw the popular youtube campaign TeamTrees [1], and wondered how we can achieve a similar throughput on a regular basis. We're still looking for t he best partners forward

One thing I think people aren't pointing out is how much Figma seems to have done [1] to make the web platform work for them in the way Sketch is describing the Mac App. It almost seems like a technical moat of sorts. Achieving the rid

I guess if “looks fine” is the goal it definitely achieved that. There is definitely huge gap between software quality and design quality in the OSS work and I’m wondering why.

What is it particularly about open source that it cannot attract designers? Can’t they have similar skin in the game as engineers. I’m sure it would look good on a designers portfolio if they did the design/branding for a project like

Software is a huge domain. It’s just one of those things you’ll need when you need. Some places you might use it: real-time financial data streams, multi-agent worker task/management, distributed database syncing. It’s basically a netw

Those are pretty modest gains for a layer 4 change. It's going to be much harder to tool/debug this stuff. Is it expected that servers pretty much always support all the HTTP protocols or is the goal to eventually replace the earl
