Maybe creativity has less to do with your frame of mind, and more to do with creating opportunities to come up with novel / interesting solutions to problems. If youre angry then youre removing some internal barriers to complacency. If

It might make sense to put some compute intensive tasks in Go, or any other compiled language thats more efficient, but exec'ing and returning JSON isnt really a great idea. If you were going to consider this seriously, then you should

It would be, if the docker containers were actually root safe. Currently, youll probably have to rent an entire physical machine to run your containers on, which will be fast, but not necessarily great for packet as they grow. Openstack rea

I think the single best way you can build a tech community is to just focus on building a great company. So many people worry about an ecosystem but the only way to make that flourish without a constant influx of foreign capital is to build

I know you should take money when you can, but part of me is wondering if this is indicitive of some kind of "winter" coming for VC funding. If slack is growing that quickly, why not wait another 6 months and drive for a better va

Lately we've been using shell scripts to do a lot of boiler-plate container preparation. We copy that script in and run it at the beginning of the container build. The nice thing about doing things this way is that you keep your Docker

If you need to pin all your packages then it probably makes more sense to just have your own software package "layer" that imports your pinned base with the packages that are required.

I'll try and answer your 3 questions. 1. As with most things it depends, but I'll make the mistake of assuming you don't need all of this data in memory and you won't be iterating over the entire set of data on a regular

Maybe because you cant. But what if you could? Ive frequently wanted to be able to take pictures of concert posters and have my phone prompt me to add it to my calendar; or just buy tickets. Or maybe its a picture of something you want to k

I think you might be confusing the "scrapability" with openness. If the information was behind a login / paywall to begin with, whats the harm in needing a token to access that API?

Nitpick: doesnt work on Chrome on ios. Didnt test Safari, but its a pretty good idea to check mobile views before a show hn. I cant even tell if its a product page or the actual app.

Except it's not an article about how amazing Slack is. It's an article on Slack's founder - Stewart. You're coming at the "value add" from a very technical perspective. Which is fine, but it doesn't add we

Perhaps there is net job creation but not for the people who are immediately displaced. The jobs figures are treated like some pool, and it ignores the fact that many people can't adapt their existing skill set to the jobs that were cr

How difficult is it to actually create a new cryptocurrency? With 14 cryptocurrencies currently floating around, isnt the value of one over the other simply a branding problem? Edit: I had no idea there were >150. That's astounding.
