Amazing article. I had underdeveloped but original (to me) ideas along these lines, as I'm sure that many Hacker News readers did. Apologies in advance for bikeshedding, but "Final Solution" is a jarring phrase, and that sect

About a year ago, I got hit on the head (hard) with a metal pole at 9:30 AM, on my way to BART to get to work. The guy asked for my phone. I was too disoriented to take it out of my pocket. He grabbed my earbuds (but didn't get my p

Flask! It's Pythonic and good. Once you've done a couple of Flask projects, you can spin up a new microservice in a couple of hours. It's much lighter weight than Django, so it forces you to keep fewer moving parts in your

Pottery. A Pythonic way to access Redis, the same way that you use Python dicts. I use it in production, and I hope that it's useful to other people too: https://github.com/brainix/pottery

Google built GSA at a time when there were limited options for search, and when most tech companies had to manage their own hardware, and when it was magical to have any kind of search at all. It made sense at the time. But now, the proble

I believe that my joke (perhaps in poor taste) isn't being taken as I intended. I'm a Python programmer, and my favorite feature of Python is the community. https://www.python.org/community/diversity/

If it had been a men's coding school, it would've been acquired for $25M. Edit: Apologies, couldn't resist.

We're painting in broad strokes as there are exceptions to every trend. But in my experience, bootcamp graduates are more like tinkerers and university graduates are more like engineers. Most bootcamps don't cover computational c

This is exactly what copy.deepcopy() is for. Although if you're headed down this road, you're generally in for a bad time.

My thoughts exactly. Why doesn't the article identify the "Google manager," and how did "Hustle Con" acquire this email? Seriously: [citation needed]

Enough with the clickbait. I had to scan the article 3 times before finally finding what the 40% rule is. And when I did find it, it's just like, your opinion, man. Seriously, citation needed (and some Navy SEAL's deeply moving

Feedback on the documentation: It's not immediately obvious to me how Geode is different from Redis. When would I want to use Geode over Redis, and vice versa?

Hi, AidName. Your product seems really interesting, and I almost signed up... Then I noticed that "AidName" isn't a very inspired name. I don't doubt the quality of your offering - by my advice would be that your own project needs a name (

Thanks for the feedback. I'd read that writeup on the website before, but in my head, I think I pronounced "elite" as "l33t." ;-) Maybe "motivated" would've been a better word. We all love technology, and I think we wanted to get that ac
