Heheh, I thought that was pretty funny too. For those unfamiliar, YC now runs its own “cofounder dating thing”: https://www.ycombinator.com/cofounder-matching

Ugh, wow, that sounds unbelievably frustrating, sorry you and your kids had to go through that. Thanks for sharing your story.

If you check out the “similar discussion” linked in a sibling comment to yours, you’ll find quite a lot of talking about that topic, if it interests you, for example the current top comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item

On one hand I agree with you on the "protocol not platform" ideal (and thanks for linking nostr, hadn't seen it before), but on the other I guess I still don't understand why so many are committed to the best way to go a

People might find it fun to know there is a literary term for this -- synecdoche! > a figure of speech in which a part is made to represent the whole or vice versa, as in Cleveland won by six runs (meaning “Cleveland's baseball team

I mean, kubernetes or microservices don’t care how the data reads are distributed, right? That problem is a database-level thing whereas k8s is infrastructure, you can run any kind of database with any kind of sharding you want on it. I fee

Thank you for the link! > Developers want to use Kubernetes in the edge, but it uses too much memory for most devices ...wow, I had absolutely no idea that this was a thing people wanted or a problem folks were out there trying to solve.

Looks neat! Small note, in one of the code blocks you seem to refer to the front of the house as the “fassad”, in English it is “facade” :)

(if you are asking this question ironically, I appreciate your sense of humor! If you are genuine, then I should tell you this is a pretty silly question to ask since everyone is different (and thus looking for different things in others),

I doubt it uses reveal.js under the hood, but, yeah I think they can effectively do all the same stuff! I just like it because I tried reveal.js (disclaimer, a while ago) and found it kinda fiddly whereas the macOS-native UI of deckset was

It does! https://docs.decksetapp.com/English.lproj/Formatting/08-form... (their docs are also quite good in my experience)

Ha, I am stunned to see there are so many of these! I’m sure they all work very well, in my own case I’ve been using Deckset for a number of years now and have always been impressed with the polish and usability: https://www.deck

(just wanted to say thanks for writing this —- I think it is sometimes hard to be honest in this way, about a hard decision, out loud, and while I’m not in the same situation as you right now, there are others who are, and in those cases it

I like the advice! I think giving such a specific figure (one hour of spinning your wheels) might seem arbitrary to some people, but I can think of several folks right now (even myself in the past) who would have really benefitted from some

I have to say I agree very much with his point, though not really the way he communicates it: > Let’s riff. I’ve had my “macho engineer” days, I’ve built that stuff. Take me deep, I’m ready. or > No; customers are not paying for, nor

Heheh, a lot of criticism here on HN like you might expect -- for what it's worth, I really like the design! Also, you have a small CSS bug in the dark-mode version of https://prettygraham.com/blog :)

Ah, I really like this. The multiple conversational options seem like a great way to allow people to specify if they want extra explanation, or they “get it” and want to move on, which things like YT videos and regular textbooks can’t suppo

Well, "this but unironically", really! One of the main tenets of how I hold SRE is that you should be confident in sending pretty much _anything_ to prod, because you trust the system you've built around it to catch problems
