It's an "open source service mesh." They're assuming you know what that is, and what their existing product (Linkerd) does in that space. I think that's reasonable for a blog post, and you can go look at their solid

Practice. 1. If I'm learning a new language, I pick a topic I know well and try to apply it in the language. Typically the first pass is nonidomatic, and I iterate as I learn more about the language. 2. If I'm learning a new algo

I'd second this. I'm not a "math person" so to speak, and they provide a great education that doesn't dip too deep into the math.

Would love to hear your take on the good and bad parts of Crystal. Been toying around with it for a few small things, and been following the blog... would love to hear more input from users. :-)

No, I think the opposite: current leadership is driven a lot of FUD. We need some honest optimism.

There's a fine line there, though, right? We want competition, but we also want integration. I'm not happy that there isn't deeper integration with Apple hardware and Google software. having Google search + Google assistant +

Just a thought: would be great to see a "What Books is HN Reading" once a month, similar to the "Who's Hiring" thread.

It's a valid concern for business. A lot of my customers go to some pretty interesting lengths to make sure they're not locked into a single vendor's stack.

I did Django dev work for 6 years... I'd lean towards the Lenovo, but it depends on a few things: 1. Are you going to do any photoshop work, or other design tasks? 2. Do you want to use an external monitor? If so, does the T420 have go

I always seem to internalize concepts like this better using code, vs. formal math or abstract explanations. I learned basic neural networks that way using this book last year: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01
