    It's worth it, imo. I was in your boat a few months back and hated every minute of it. With that said, i'm still not 100%. I semi-regularly see syntax that makes me go "Wat is what…

    Ask HN: Any side projects or startups involved in Framed Prints?

    I'm looking for some services to provide prints/framed prints from images for gifts/etc. Everything from traditional, to interesting (metallic cutouts/etc). I thought it might be w…

    This is really awesome! You should make a phone app (Android too please :)), i'd happily pay for this to make wallpapers!

    All i see is black - is that intended? Not sure if that's my color, haha.

    At the very least Nix would make your Docker builds more reliable. Granted, you could then start making arguments for "why use Docker at all", but i can't answer that.

    I can't wait for someone to write a great book on Nix. I was so lost in it. I had it running on my home server, and needing to compile my own things because of what Nixpkgs lacked …

    If you need more complex logic, you simply wouldn't use `try!()`. Try! is intended for those `if error then return` checks, just like with Go's `if err != nil { return err }`. If t…

    > plus it can catch things compilers don't, such as null pointer exceptions. Note, that it depends on the language. In the case of Go, yes. In Rust? Definitely not.

    > Besides, Go is not any safer than C when it comes to data races. I care about those a lot too. Agreed. It may be safer in the realm of "oops i forgot to free memory", but i've ha…

    Not only that, but there's simply no guarantees. You can abuse a function in any way you see fit in Python, and the only one that suffers is your runtime sever :( Optional types in…

    I don't know how, but frankly i'd love to eliminate all simple panics. Nil pointers and channels seem two big culprits, offhand. Granted, i left out nil pointer/interface panics be…

    Type safety mainly, i think. Performance is a definite concern, but they have a lot of internal applications and the stability of them varies. I offered up that less dynamic langua…

    I had to pick something i was familiar with too. We need this on a shorter timeframe (when is that not true? haha) , and evaluating a language is hard. As it is, this was a partial…

    So, i was a Go developer for ~4 years, then for the last 4 months or so i've been learning and using Rust. The pure joy of some things with Rust was astounding. Now, i joined a new…

    Good timing! I'll be needing a solid S3/Disk abstraction, and may as well go with this. Thanks!

    Take a massive dose of salt with my comment, as i am not a designer. Personally, i think the mochila design looks better, but i really like dark designs (easy on the eyes), so the …

    I don't have any feedback (not big on email myself) , but i just came to sympathize with your design woes. It's just so difficult, imo.

    Also, beyond what Karunamon mentions, i want to scan my network, my IoT devices, etc. Besides, virus scanners are heavy and ugly, i've always hated them. Sure, it's nice to have mo…

    Sorry, not trying to be harsh. If we have the ability to manually paginage, that would be enough. As it is, it would take me a long time (30m? no idea, honestly) to get to the bott…

    On this note, i wonder if automated tools like this will become more commonplace. I know next to knowing about security[1], but i'd love for there to be some sort of self-updating …

    I think the right answer would be to force reboots at the right time, but - and this is the technical challenge - ensure that you can bring the users environment mostly (almost ent…

    So what? you don't have to innovate to be a success, that's where a lot of HNers get stuck imo. Sure, i'm not calling Slack amazing - but i very clearly said i use slack, love it, …

    Hate? Everyone i know loves slack. I love slack. I've used it for my last two companies for (~many) years now. That doesn't make it innovative though, imo. I can't think of a singl…
