Interesting, and this kind of service seems fine to you? It doesn’t seem fine to me. Even if most people will have no problem with them, I’d say that knowing how a company handles …

I recently transferred all my domains and cancelled a DNSimple account I’ve had for more than a decade for similar reasons. A couple years ago they migrated me to a more expensive …

You may be interested in Groupcache's method for filling caches, it solves the same problem that I believe this project is aimed at. Groupcache has a similar goal of limiting the n…

> You'll notice I added four "food" emojis: the crab, shrimp, squid, and lobster. I have no idea why they were assigned "food-marine" instead of "animal-marine". They look happy, h…

Just FYI, you’re still using buttondown.email in your HN profile.

Hmm. I was excited about Zed, but it now seems painfully clear they’re headed in a completely different direction than I’m interested in. Back to neovim, I guess…

The author seems to imply, as if it were generally understood and accepted, that the reason nuclear reactors are heavily regulated is because they produce a lot of energy. Perhaps …

I’ve also recently switched (largely) from Vim to Zed and I also think that Zed is in many ways great. At the same time it’s been pretty frustrating to use an editor that is spendi…

Given that the unemployment rate in the US (at least) is still extremely low (about 3.5%), it’s at least worth considering that if the people working gig jobs wanted full or part-t…

… and you’ll give them plenty. I live in New York, but I rarely go to hotel bars here because, while frequently comfortable, they are outrageously expensive. On my most recent visi…

It's worth pointing out that retaliation, itself, is not illegal or even necessarily morally dubious. If a company were to retaliate against an employee for stealing by firing them…

This looks pretty cool. I've long been looking for something similar to Soulver ( https://soulver.app/ ) that I can use on Linux. This seems promising. One small criticism: In my o…

Shameless plug: for REST APIs, I've written a tool called Instaunit which combines HTTP API integration tests with documentation generation, since these two things must always be m…

I’ve taken to just making /v0 or /v1 the root of every package I maintain. Even though it’s not required I think it’s a good practice. It doesn’t affect the package name (unless yo…

Wine was originally released in 1993. You're talking about a period 7 years into it's development. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wine_(software)

Sure, a program couldn't have a level of access that it's not supposed to have. Let's design security beginning with that assumption.

There seems to be a surprising amount of antipathy towards standups in this thread. Reasonable people may disagree about how useful they are, sure, but the suggestion that 15 minut…

If Apple allowed developers to keep 100% of revenue from App Store transactions while Apple continued to pay for all the operating costs it would still, undoubtedly, work out great…

Somewhat related: the saga between Hoefler and former partner Frere-Jones, who Hoefler almost certainly attempted to (and perhaps successfully) screwed over. https://www.fastcompan…

Certainly people should use the tools they like and are comfortable with. That said, I would suggest that there's a limit to this "whatever you like is fine" logic. If you were bui…
