I take great pride in achieving a -2 point rating on a post because it means that I've spoken truth to the powers that read HN. I take even greater pride in talking about commentin…

Not only this, but, critically, there is now an entire *industry* devoted to preventing cloud-provider lock-in. You can't throw a penny into an SF crowd without hitting someone wor…

Hadn't noticed that Freetone was Semple's brainchild. It checks out and I love him for it. I dabble a bit, and Black 2.0 (havent' tried 3.0) is like magic. I also heartily recommen…
