In seriousness, who (that the Israelis would sell to) would target the Spanish PM & Defense Minister? This is clearly a use-case of military espionage, not of an intrusive police state. Leaving questions of tools and their creators asid

Most devs aren't learning Ruby anymore, so if true (I'm skeptical) that sounds like it could be a problem for many organizations (perhaps not yours). Hiring only people who are already experts in a given technology shrinks your ta

That doesn't mean it's without downsides or that they'd make the same choice today, with the options we have available now. For example, they probably spend an absolute fortune on cloud costs, especially CI. Node, Go, Kotlin,

Minor nit, if you're thinking of Sorbet, that was Stripe (but Shopify has done a lot of great work on Ruby things too, incl Sorbet stuff). Disclaimer, former Stripe employee.

Just because you disagree with it doesn't mean it's worthless advice. I always have a fond flutter whenever I see Ruby (which I used to write, and really enjoyed) but absolutely wouldn't start a new project with it, for pract

Nice. Looks like a great way to handle PII, credit card data, etc.

They're limited in what they can express; your application often has invariants you want to enforce/maintain that can't be (performantly) expressed with DB constraints, and must be validated another way. As great as it can be

How does this compare to others like Monaco, Ace, etc?

You might try selling on MicroAcquire or Flippa (I haven't used either). Selling any business will usually take a couple months at least, so waiting until things are on fire and super stressful might not be the best strategy. Listing s

This was my hunch, but it'd be awesome to make that a little more clear on the homepage! Especially if you can link to an FAQ with more detail on the tradeoffs. When considering adopting a tool like this vs something more general-purpo

Elsewhere in the thread[0], the author claims that Zas Editor started out as a fork of Xi Editor, which was written in Rust. [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30953143

I've never written (or even read) JS code with ArrayBuffers. I wonder how much mileage you might get with better education and/or libs for using them? And perhaps a highly opinionated linter for things like optimal for-loop patter

I totally get your perspective, and I'd do the same thing… but only before launching on HN. If you want feedback from the hacking public, you have to accept that it'll be inefficient. For myself, the visuals are compelling enough

Hello This is a great post; it hit home and I expect it'll come to mind many times in the future for me. It highlights an interesting problem very well. Will, if you’re listening, there are two follow-up posts that I’d love to see – ho

I haven't seen much mention of Maps.Me, but it's another OSM-based android app I've heard good things about from Europeans and enjoyed while traveling in South America. I haven't tried it much in the US.

Very interesting – thanks! For reference, https://www.synology.com/en-us/products/DS720+ lokos like a representative model. Seems to offer competitors to Google Photos, Drive, Gmail, Docs, Sheets, and more…

Interesting – Helm definitely looks cool, close to what I had in mind. Pricing of $400 plus $99/yr subscription sounds tough – and it doesn't include a wifi router, which I think is an element that would make more sense to the a

Got it – thank you, that makes a lot more sense. But fascinating, I wonder what those other issues were.

One problem with "self-hosting" is you're usually still hosting in the cloud – say, on a DigitalOcean droplet or something. That means you're spending $5-10 every month or whatever, plus you're still vulnerable to s

Thanks, that makes sense. I would have imagined that most of what you describe could hit the `mysql1` replica (not primary) but certainly it's imaginable that this would not be possible or wise in all cases. And of course it's wor

I find it surprising that: - The team was not able to sufficiently diagnose the bad query program, and/or devise emergency mitigations, by 1400 UTC March 17 (24h after the first incident). - They were not able to reduce the load on the

That's a good argument against one-sentence lists, but the author seems to be arguing in favor of numbered headlines (with paragraphs in between).

The driver surely has access to nonpublic information, even if some of what they do is publicly observable. Not having an NDA would be inappropriate for any beta tester of a proprietary product, regardless of the location in which their t
