I'm not sure, I haven't heard of that happening before. I've asked my editor if she knows what's up. You can email me at tj at my HN username dot com if you want to follow up.

Awesome! Hope you enjoy reading the book and thanks for buying it.

Hey, I'm the author of Jocko. I've been working at Confluent the past four years. I just finished writing a book that shows how to build similar distributed services from scratch, …

People that are interested in this blog post will interested in a book I wrote: Distributed Services with Go ( https://pragprog.com/titles/tjgo/distributed-services-with-g... ). Th…

I think the keyword is "typical." Which is probably true that the math is pretty basic at most universities and in most programs. But you can go to schools like the University of T…

Most popular languages do, it seems reasonable.

First of all I think it's cool enneff read my post. But pkg doesn't only make your import paths unwiedy. I'ts more like that's the only---or at least main---issue with pkg. But you…

Hey, I'm currently writing a book for PragProg that's going to announced soon. It's tentaively titled "Building Distributed Services with Go", and the Go part is secondary if it's …

Here's a list of prominent Go infrastructure projects and by no means a complete list: Kubernetes, Docker, Etcd, Consul (and the rest of Hashicorp's projects), CockroachDB, Prometh…

You got it. You can be about security or UX. And when the accounts are public I'm especially in favor of taking advantage UX-wise. The issue's when both are half-assed.

This is a better argument, but rarely given. The issue is the accepted argument made for 'username or password is incorrect' is it's a best practice protecting the existence of acc…

Correct. The UI message would always be the same, some variant of "email sent." Even if the account already existed and it wasn't actually a successful sign up of a new account.

Haha, that's cool with me.

Exactly. You got it.
