Linux namespaces, and containers, are not security features in themselves. They end up having to be combined with SECCOMP and some sort of application kernel or SELinux in order to…

I'm not sure the difference changes the conclusion but I think projects demanded certain workflows and resultant processes, not the other way around. That's why Jetbrains has so ma…

I don't mind that Tangled is VC funded as long the tech is open (it is) and as far as I can discern it is federated and decentralized. You and I probably have different ideas of wh…

As a maintainer of an open source project I largely care about CI, discoverability on the web, and the sign up burden being small so that issues continue to be reported. I think Ra…

Cursor was a great introduction to agentic engineering but I've learned their Claude pricing is largely just batch purchases. Their real moat I think is Composer 2.5 because both t…

Resources were never part of the original discussion. It was about values. This is the author of the ToU addition the day it landed: https://mastodon.social/@gedankenstuecke@schola…

Oregon just passed something like this I believe. We basically charge data centers 30% more for power.

I'm not saying it's a bad choice. Slack is written in Hack, Discord written in Elixir, and Teams is written in C#. Why teams choose languages is always a point of curiosity to me.

Disclaimer that I used to work at Slack I love that we're challenging the status quo in chat. It feels like we've settled into an eternal September of sorts. I am somewhat bearish …

> Set clearer requirements, set stricter constraints, and the solution follows. That solution is the perfect one for you, for that case. I think this is a bit of a generous reframi…

Salesforce often does product announcements to determine how the market might respond before they ever build anything. The very thing they're selling may not exist and might not ev…

Hello HN! I'm Matt and today I'd like to show you Cascade Chat. One of my earliest internet experiences was with mIRC. I always admired its straightforward, pleasant UI and the way…

Palantir is also the kind of business where every engagement is somewhat to totally bespoke. That's a big departure from a more typical SaaS model where you focus on providing a pl…

Even very smart, very accomplished people can be very wrong. Xen is seeing a resurgence from Xen Orchestra and I've used it in my homelab. It's quite pleasant. I also, of course, u…

Yeah I agree with that. I'd also extend this to ICs, but the effect is probably less pronounced as those with much more consequential power.

The individual executives I think are smart and I don't think the post discounts that; maybe "blind" is a distracting analogy. What the post draws into question, which I think is r…

You're saying that BetterAuth will remain 100% free and open source, will continue to be maintained, and unlocked from Vercels ecosystem?

I see OP responded but I'd add on that "further" can mean product vision and pivots. When you're the only one in the room that voice is limited; even when you may have only listene…

You already have a lot of replies here and the comment is provably divisive. I'll toss in that while only you can judge whether it was truly a waste of time, a lot of that factors …

Incredible, Bill Hicks on HN. My life has come full circle. Ironically Bill smoked like a chimney and for that we can also largely thank marketers.

This was really cool. I would love to play some Dave Tipper on this to see what it looks like.
