It's worth it, imo. I was in your boat a few months back and hated every minute of it. With that said, i'm still not 100%. I semi-regularly see syntax that makes me go "Wat is what!?", but then i sit for a moment and und

This is really awesome! You should make a phone app (Android too please :)), i'd happily pay for this to make wallpapers!

All i see is black - is that intended? Not sure if that's my color, haha.

At the very least Nix would make your Docker builds more reliable. Granted, you could then start making arguments for "why use Docker at all", but i can't answer that.

I can't wait for someone to write a great book on Nix. I was so lost in it. I had it running on my home server, and needing to compile my own things because of what Nixpkgs lacked was a constant struggle. It was a very frustrating expe

If you need more complex logic, you simply wouldn't use `try!()`. Try! is intended for those `if error then return` checks, just like with Go's `if err != nil { return err }`. If the error needs to be checked for a specific type (

> Besides, Go is not any safer than C when it comes to data races. I care about those a lot too. Agreed. It may be safer in the realm of "oops i forgot to free memory", but i've had more panics than i could count in Go.

Not only that, but there's simply no guarantees. You can abuse a function in any way you see fit in Python, and the only one that suffers is your runtime sever :( Optional types in 3.5 look awesome - but i don't want to lose duck

I don't know how, but frankly i'd love to eliminate all simple panics. Nil pointers and channels seem two big culprits, offhand. Granted, i left out nil pointer/interface panics because it seems unrealistic given how difficul

Type safety mainly, i think. Performance is a definite concern, but they have a lot of internal applications and the stability of them varies. I offered up that less dynamic languages would provide more speed and reliability to boot. I know

I had to pick something i was familiar with too. We need this on a shorter timeframe (when is that not true? haha) , and evaluating a language is hard. As it is, this was a partial reason against Rust for me. After my time learning Rust, i

So, i was a Go developer for ~4 years, then for the last 4 months or so i've been learning and using Rust. The pure joy of some things with Rust was astounding. Now, i joined a new job and they're in need of a new language for som

Good timing! I'll be needing a solid S3/Disk abstraction, and may as well go with this. Thanks!

Take a massive dose of salt with my comment, as i am not a designer. Personally, i think the mochila design looks better, but i really like dark designs (easy on the eyes), so the Premier is nice on that front.

I don't have any feedback (not big on email myself) , but i just came to sympathize with your design woes. It's just so difficult, imo.

Also, beyond what Karunamon mentions, i want to scan my network, my IoT devices, etc. Besides, virus scanners are heavy and ugly, i've always hated them. Sure, it's nice to have monitoring of a breech, but why do i have to sit wit

Sorry, not trying to be harsh. If we have the ability to manually paginage, that would be enough. As it is, it would take me a long time (30m? no idea, honestly) to get to the bottom request on my trackpad. I want to use the service, but se

On this note, i wonder if automated tools like this will become more commonplace. I know next to knowing about security[1], but i'd love for there to be some sort of self-updating simple service i can run that constantly updates and ch

Good god that's a frustrating UI. Am i blind or is there no meaningful way to find a company you're interested in? Ie, a search. I used the alphabetical list, but scrolling through what seems like thousands of companies is a bit a

I think the right answer would be to force reboots at the right time, but - and this is the technical challenge - ensure that you can bring the users environment mostly (almost entirely) back to normal. Eg, store memory states, bring ever

So what? you don't have to innovate to be a success, that's where a lot of HNers get stuck imo. Sure, i'm not calling Slack amazing - but i very clearly said i use slack, love it, pay for it and recommend it. I used Dropbox t

Hate? Everyone i know loves slack. I love slack. I've used it for my last two companies for (~many) years now. That doesn't make it innovative though, imo. I can't think of a single feature they've done that is innovativ

For a year or so I smoked casually when i was a teen in the 90s (to look cool) with intermittent bouts of heavy smoking over days at friends homes/etc. Probably average ~1-2 packs a week. One day i just got bored and stopped. Never f

Not sure about the last crash reports (the os froze until i force restarted it), but other weirdness are things like the keyboard going apeshit. Spazzing out like a variety of buttons are being held down. That's happened 3 times since

Clearly something, but no idea what. I only use a small number of apps (iterm2, neovim, chrome, spotify, etc). Spend most of my day in iterm2, and avoid using new programs because i prefer cli programs.

That is pretty! I may have to give this a try when the time comes. By far the best looking Linux GUI i've seen yet. I can't wait to see an a GUI layer made for NixOS though. I really want to be done with stateful OSs, NixOS is so

Fwiw, i sort of like that. I understand it really sucks not being able to replace chips, especially something as simple as adding RAM, but i've not really seen a super compact laptop also allow me to replace RAM easily. My Macbook Pro

One nice thing though is that the "Pro" market for developers is mainly centered around Unix, not OSX. Sure, some devs might like OSX specific tools like a GUI for Git or some such.. but at its heart, most tools are Unix oriented,
