I don't check HN on the weekends. Didn't know it was frontpaged. As such, I'm gonna just assume that "interesting" was genuine and not sarcastic -- have a good day!

Ugh. Yeah, looks like someone submitted my post over the weekend. A shame, since I know lots of folks who just check HN during the week will miss out on participating.

Thanks! Yeah, those were the ony options I was aware of, but the "provided there is an available container instance to place it on" issue is a problem due to port availability, and I was looking for zero-downtime deploy options.

I'd love to hear how you're handling the ECS part of this. From the experimentation I've done, it's not just a matter of telling ECS to update the service unless you're running 2x the number of container instances y

This may be nitpicking, but I really liked the marketing material here, aside from this phrase: "Do you need a way to divide your resources across multiple projects[...]" It's a pet peeve of mine that so many processes and to

Really happy to see the 1.0 milestone reached. I've enjoyed my time with Elixir. It's really approachable, and made a lot of Erlang/OTP concepts start to click for me in ways that they just hadn't, before. Syntactically,

This reminds me a bit of an idea I messed around with a bit last year: http://erniemiller.org/me.json I posted about it then ( http://erniemiller.org/2013/06/19/my-happiness-formula-me-js... ,

This is a promising start. I've felt for a while now that we need some strong alternatives to Rails for the folks who feel like the Rails Way and the Ruby Way don't always get along. It still feels a bit DSL-centric from the examp

Oh, nice -- until I saw your comment I wasn't aware Jerad was a Louisville local! Congrats Jerad, and congratulations to Kaggle!

If you really must have this, you can get it already with Relation#merge. If you're just referring to using one query as a subquery in another, this is available in ActiveRecord directly without needing to drop to Arel. In fact, unless

Hi all. Arel committer here. This is a very cool application, and I really enjoyed attending (and helping answer questions) at Cameron's RailsConf talk. That being said, I've become increasingly convinced that constructing queries

Not the kind of thing I would normally submit to HN, but I think the activity I hope it spurs and its relevance to folks in our industry merited the submission. We'll see if anyone actually agrees.

I did, and that's what I found bothersome. He clearly seized on the "I am special" header and then interpreted the C-level exec comment in terms of that, when the whole point of the "I am special" part was that I&#x

I wouldn't differentiate them. In fact, that's kinda the point. Each candidate should be evaluated on the unique experience they bring to the table. Trying to create the illusion of a level playing field by standardizing on generi

Did you actually read the article, or just the big, bold letters? The point wasn't that I am special. It's that each person is an individual, and a company that doesn't recognize that situations differ and make reasonable acc

I might write more on the subject at a later time. For now, I'm a bit more (hopefully understandably so) focused on lining up discussions about what's next. :)

Thanks. I find the need to support my family the reason I must push for a great job. I want to both provide the best I can for them, and also to love what I do, so I still have energy left to invest in them at the end of my day.
