This looks really great. £35 Individual, £100 Team, £600 Company, seems like fair/straightforward pricing for a team that has members who know some Rust but haven't built out a production API with it yet. I wish every tech stack h

HN title should mention that the blog post in question was from 2007.

Thanks for sharing that context, it's helpful. Do you happen to know how frequently a given Bar Raiser will be on the same interview loop as a given manager? Are they load-balanced across the whole company, or siloed to their home divi

The author started with the premise that V8 won't fit on a microcontroller, but didn't really justify why a new language was needed. Why would someone choose Toit over Espruino or QuickJS, which seem to promise JS on a microcontro

Yes, falcon is a thread-based app server.

TIL about Falcon, which can power any rack app, including Rails: https://socketry.github.io/falcon/index.html TIL also that in Rails v5+, `config.allow_concurrency` is enabled by default, so Falcon works with it out of

This looks really incredible and I'm excited to find ways to use it! Crossing my fingers for nested data support in the viewer, too.

Requiring Deno, and not allowing Node, seems like it could cause a lot of annoyance for people who aren't accustomed to Deno or want to use packages written for Node. I hope this becomes more flexible in the future.

Can you share any comments from the discord beta testers about the LSP in v4? Or are the majority of the user-facing improvements to the LSP plugin still to come, based on the foundational work that just rolled out?

That's incredible. From the website it looks like a Windows-oriented tool. If it weren't for your product I wouldn't have even guessed they had a Mac version. I bet they'd do much better with adoption if they customized

One question I had, which is partly answered in the FAQ, is what rendering and JS engines are used. The FAQ says it can run on either WebKit/WebEngine (Blink) – how does it decide? Which is the default, and are there tradeoffs to using

Perhaps part of the difference was that it took longer for the victim to pay this time. Presumably Hospitals cave before the impacts make the headlines.

I tried Zulip a few years ago and found it too "ugly" to recommend to non-technical peers (I also didn't grok the threads model). I checked the website now to see if I'd like the night mode better, and I can't find

Automatically detecting prefers-color-scheme is the right thing to do in general - maybe the day theme needs some improvements (based purely on this thread).

I just don't want to leave climate change up to the whims of strangers. If you're in business, you compete with people who put their jobs before society, so you don't really have much choice. Call that a race to the bottom if

Their responsibility to "the taxpayer" is a few orders of magnitude less acute than their responsibility to the owners of the company they've been hired to manage.

I totally agree the legalized corruption in the US is causing huge problems, and preventing the fixes I mentioned above (higher taxes for the rich and for companies, closing loopholes, etc). If you live in the US, I'd encourage support

I expect (well, I don't expect, but I WANT) my government to stop it from happening. It's foolish to expect people who are in a position of responsibility _to their shareholders_ to act like they're responsible _to you_. They

Honestly the more appealing aspect than the "await $`cmd`" syntax is that it imports a bunch of handy libs by default. For some reason there's just something that rubs me the wrong way about having a bunch of requires at the

With postgraphile you get the full power of postgresql exposed through graphql. Using a few commonly-used add-ons, you can write a whole lot of sql in gql and it Just Works, translating your deeply-nested and richly-filtered gql query int
