I don't even have words for how cool this is, it really shows how far these web technologies have come from their humble beginnings.

Thanks for that, I don't normally have any problems with a certain amount of aggression in a comment, but that one came across pretty badly, however, I think it would have been an order of magnitude less offensive had it not been for the le

There's not much that I can say which will be more useful than this, simply examine the reasons you left, where you want your life to be better and do it . P.S. To the poster above, congratulations on your first post :)

You make a good point - quite often we can get lost in the complexity of our own brilliance and feel above the simpler ways of explaining things. We seem to have a double standard, in that we want people to be like us, but we also hide it b

I feel like this could be terrible press given yesterday - while it's not in any way down to you guys, it definitely won't look good to have two visible downtimes in the space of two days (admittedly, this is just the blog and not other peo

No source control, anything I worked on came directly from my own machine, there were only two copies - the one on the server and the local copy, until my first major incidence, my own source control (in the form of automated backups) was n

I couldn't agree more, like I said, I was in a position where I was already capable on the day I walked in the door (I sat down on day one and head my first website live by day 6) - I dread to think how it would have turned out if I hadn't

I live in the UK, in the north, the company was tiny: www.cicsolutions.co.uk, only a small 3 person company, don't get me wrong, they were a great bunch of people, but the teaching style was all wrong - I was punished severely for infrequen

I was an apprentice, fairly recently actually, only last year. I loved it - the crappy pay, the meaningless jobs and the terrible teaching aside - I found that I was in my element. Half my life I've been fascinated with computers, for a qua

It's expected that eventually things will go down, I've never once found a piece of software, server, person or traffic light which has performed at 100% for their entire lifetime, the best thing we can take from this however is response ti

I guess you're here because 4chan is down? Something I always wondered - do you use Cloudflare simply for the CDN in respects to photos, or does 4chan also frequently become the target of DDoS and other external attacks?

Just discovered this problem on my company website, thanks for the update. -- Seems to be getting better now - intermittent 502's and 504's, the occasional load (speed is choppy though) -- Back to near-instant load times, great job guys! I

It was a higher apprenticeship, which lets them get away with paying 1/3 as much for someone with the same talent and experience.

This site may be for "technical and business" discussion, but ultimately, it comes down to popular opinion, I for one think the story was great but there seems to be a fairly even split going on here, that is, half of us think it's heart wa

Except that helpsmith.com would surely be the landing page? It might be against most online protocols to instigate a download, but to be fair to them, that's the download page for helpsmith. In any case, I don't appreciate it, if I was on m

Do you have a link to that? I would be interested to read it. I also couldn't agree more, but normally, people retort with the Hammer and Screwdriver argument.

Performance, I also feel more in control, it's hard to describe the feeling, it's just as though Go is providing an abstracted interface to the hardware, where as C++ provides raw, unfiltered but potentially dangerous access. Perhaps it's j

Large changes in lifestyle, such as a complete relocation, new job, etc, should not be something undertaken lightly - if I interviewed and got offered the job I would be under a lot of pressure, which I can mitigate now by thinking more car

I would - simply because it's damn near difficult to find a "new" open source project to work on, I don't want to walk in to one that's already been running for 3 years or whatever. Timing is everything.

Ok, that sounds great! (Same to the comment above, replying to this one for continuity) - let me mull it over this week. And I couldn't agree more, being placed in the firing lines of customers is often more telling than building the softwa

I've never used go professionally and most of my spare time is split between C++ and Scheme at the moment, but when I did go spelunking with Go, I found it a breeze to write complicated functionality in it - it felt like C++, but easier and

On another note, it's always nice to see such an influential part of the HN community giving quotes for sites like this - not only does it make me a little proud to be associated with any of you, it makes me more hopeful for the chances of

At my company, we have a place called Quarantone, where people can go not to be disturbed for a couple of hours, that aside, if you are at your desk, it generally means that contact is fine :)
