I don't check HN on the weekends. Didn't know it was frontpaged. As such, I'm gonna just assume that "interesting" was genuine and not sarcastic -- have a good day!

Ugh. Yeah, looks like someone submitted my post over the weekend. A shame, since I know lots of folks who just check HN during the week will miss out on participating.

Thanks! Yeah, those were the ony options I was aware of, but the "provided there is an available container instance to place it on" issue is a problem due to port availability, and…

I'd love to hear how you're handling the ECS part of this. From the experimentation I've done, it's not just a matter of telling ECS to update the service unless you're running 2x …

WOOO! Happy to hear it. :D Thanks for the response!

This may be nitpicking, but I really liked the marketing material here, aside from this phrase: "Do you need a way to divide your resources across multiple projects[...]" It's a pe…

Really happy to see the 1.0 milestone reached. I've enjoyed my time with Elixir. It's really approachable, and made a lot of Erlang/OTP concepts start to click for me in ways that …

This reminds me a bit of an idea I messed around with a bit last year: http://erniemiller.org/me.json I posted about it then ( http://erniemiller.org/2013/06/19/my-happiness-formul…

This is a promising start. I've felt for a while now that we need some strong alternatives to Rails for the folks who feel like the Rails Way and the Ruby Way don't always get alon…

Oh, nice -- until I saw your comment I wasn't aware Jerad was a Louisville local! Congrats Jerad, and congratulations to Kaggle!

Not chainably, out of the box, though you can abuse build_where to do this and join with strings easily enough.

If you really must have this, you can get it already with Relation#merge. If you're just referring to using one query as a subquery in another, this is available in ActiveRecord di…

Hi all. Arel committer here. This is a very cool application, and I really enjoyed attending (and helping answer questions) at Cameron's RailsConf talk. That being said, I've becom…

Not the kind of thing I would normally submit to HN, but I think the activity I hope it spurs and its relevance to folks in our industry merited the submission. We'll see if anyone…

I did, and that's what I found bothersome. He clearly seized on the "I am special" header and then interpreted the C-level exec comment in terms of that, when the whole point of th…

I wouldn't differentiate them. In fact, that's kinda the point. Each candidate should be evaluated on the unique experience they bring to the table. Trying to create the illusion o…

Did you actually read the article, or just the big, bold letters? The point wasn't that I am special. It's that each person is an individual, and a company that doesn't recognize t…
