Hi, author here. Sure, multiple users can do a git push but don't neglect that git is also offering a higher level abstraction, basically a storage system. That's no different from running any other storage system, like a filesyst

The problem is, it's not enough to have a transactional filesystem as it will inevitably have a different API, one that is not POSIX compliant. Also, you can't jut make the filesystem transactional, in the end you also need an ent

Hey, author here, thanks for the feedback. I've been working on this problem space for a while and decided to write it all out one problem at a time. Yeah this one was quite heavy on the theory department but I plan to follow it up wit

Weird, I don’t want many interviews. I want as few as possible, ideally 1 and get hired on great terms. This sounds like one of those “how to pass your exams with least effort” advices. How about you get abnormally good at what you do?

As we are aware that we are starving (hungry), you would need to make patients unconscious. But that seems possible to me. Edit: I meant possible :)

Why so much negativity? Come down, this is a funny collection or players - and a _great_ way for them to be noticed. My startup isn’t on the front page of HN.. They are. And I totally enjoyed reading it. I also had fun categorizing myself.

+1 for Crisp. As a pre-product-market-fit startup, I was looking for the cheapest option, to basically figure out if people would message me at all or not. (They do!) I've started with Drift around half a year ago and everything was br

Wow. And then the video above [1] was recorded 1 year ago, while this other video below [3] was recorded 7 years ago. So 6 years later he looks like 10 years younger. That's the most mind-blowing part. [3] https://www.youtub

Just heard of draw.io for the first time. The product seems extremely polished. And it's free. And it's open source. And they have a non-trivial team. And they don't force you to sign up. And they make money. (I understand as

Take a look at https://www.idris-lang.org/ While I think it doesn’t check most of your boxes, it’s one of a kind in that it lets you write mathematical proofs for your functions. It pushes the limits of type driven developm

Let me disagree. I'm working on a transactional OS [1] with an immutable filesystem, it's primarily a website builder. Every request creates a new snapshot of your website. It's append-only for the duration of the transaction

I see the biggest opportunity here in summarizing books and blog posts. At least for me. Too often, after reading a blog post, I feel like it was a waste of time. I'd prefer to read a super dense summary first. Then optionally select l

I guess this works as long as you are clueless about your profession so you search a lot the same way your customers do. I suspect this is rare.

# Reason 3: Lower costs They lost me here. Founders take a significantly lower salary, anything else is typically a rounding error. That just flies against (my) common sense.

Summary: UBI should be introduced to grow the GDP as the poorest 78% in the USA live paycheque to paycheque thus can't spend more. The wealthiest companies spend on ads which is a zero-sum game, not growing the GDP. This argument is in

Not necessarily true. “Your user” is not one person, but potentially many. You may want to store the data in multiple locations to benefit them all.
