Thanks!

Idea looks really really nice. Not sure how some edge cases (?) are handled. For example if a database server goes down, my app that uses pledge needs to open another socket to ano…

Content starts at around 14:30 minutes if you want to jump over the bashing of others and self-adulation by Theo.

"She was 35, had been with the company for four years, and was told without explanation by her 28-year-old manager" What's the fuzz about the ages? Age discrimination by NYT author…

"There is no mention at all of use of Mossack Fonseca by massive western corporations or western billionaires – the main customers." Such as strong claim ('main customers') would b…

The soccer star is from the Panama leaks.

If you quote these, then why not the more completly: "CPI reports receiving foundation support from a number of foundations, including the Sunlight Foundation, the Ethics and Excel…

It is funny how in your head, one image of a company is replace by another over time. It does not happen instantly, but with more and more actions by the company (open source .NET,…

"we've been on the receiving end of platform changes too many times to count." But this is the value you provide, this is your raison d'etre.

As always, if you're HNs darling, it's fine to send the lawyers.

Something not so obvious for beginners: Java/Scala does not use all the available memory. If you get out of memory problems with the 10gb data set and you have much more RAM availa…

As is sometimes the case, people start with the wrong abstraction (thread pool) and then optimize it. Java/Scala streams look like they would solve most of the problems in the post…

Yes, HN is an intolerant place. Have an opinion and you're downvoted. I have some sock puppets because of this and don't care for any downvote.

This is always the problem when you're hype driven. I'm sure the decision to use Node was also hype driven. And they will rewrite again with the new hype, right until they are bank…

When you switch from Node to Go, two languages that are totally different in style, library support, performance, compile/web turnaround, client/server reusability, I always wonder…

Some want to play with new cameras, show that they have them, post to forums but don't have the money. Others order 5 cameras and lenses, select one, and send 4 back to Amazon.

One of my philosphy professors at university said Heidegger and most of German philosphy is only an expression of German language, like "Das Sein, Das Seiende, ..."

I had the same impression from alloy's response. I've basically read it as "hi ho we will not change anything". And it had this passive agressive ring to it, with the hand clapping…
