Good question. I operate a pretty big Temporal deployment at work (~3.45 billion actions per month), and also have the dubious distinction of being one of the only community SDK (Haskell) implementors for Temporal. So I have a pretty good s

I’ve been building a durable execution framework with roughly the same mechanism. It’s a pretty logical rough edge to try shave off from Temporal-like systems.

Well, I've not tried to publish this on HN so far, but I guess given such a counterpoint, I should at least attempt to share: https://www.iankduncan.com/engineering/2026-08-07-getting-fr...

The problem with the article is that it's two arguments pretending to be one. The first argument is about people. People romanticize the flaws of their tools, turn vim macros into a personality, and mistake the feeling of cleverness fo

Author here: yeah the end result is that you wouldn’t actually want to do it in practice. Who wants to build a load of linear algebra into GHC, after all? But it was pleasing to show that you could make the algorithm subcubic if you really

I think something that's probably under appreciated if you don't read/write Kanji– bad penmanship is incredibly hard to read due to the complexity of the characters. Good penmanship is extremely valued in Japan, so that need

Author here: I think you are projecting quite a bit. We do in fact hire a lot of people who maintain things, and even pay quite a lot for OSS development on things like the compiler and libraries we care about. But we still have business ob

Author here: I have a bunch of drafts that I haven't gotten around to publishing for quite some time, and I'm on parental leave, which affords me a little more time than usual to get things published. I don't have a lot of ad

I've been trying `beads` out for some projects, in tandem with https://github.com/github/spec-kit with pretty good results. I set up spec-kit first, then updated its templates to tell it to use beads to track feat

There are plenty of people left to like who aren't racist and misogynist. It's okay to update your worldview of your heroes when they behave badly.

To be fair, I absolutely would take ocean liners for this purpose if such a thing existed. The closest that you can get on this front is basically seasonal route switches for cruise liners. The thing is, cruise lines price gouge on WiFi, so

I mean this nicely, I don't really feel like anything on the landing page besides one paragraph is actually helpful to readers understanding what problem you're trying to solve. I think it'd be useful to focus on this more: &

We have a pretty limited set of abstractions that are used throughout. We mostly serve web requests, talk to a PostgreSQL database, communicate with 3rd-party systems with HTTP, and we're starting to use Temporal.io for queued-job type

I work on one of the largest Haskell codebases in the world that I know of ( https://mercury.com/ ). We're in the ballpark of 1.5 million lines of proprietary code built and deployed as effectively a single executable, a

The writing has been on the wall for 5+ years that government bodies would eventually legislate this, even for casual observers. If these auto manufacturers as industry insiders couldn’t plan ahead to handle this outcome, it sounds like the

Mercury ( https://mercury.com/ ) uses Haskell extensively for pretty much all of its backend systems. It’s a great general purpose language.

I lost my 3 1/2 year old daughter to sudden illness several months ago. So many dreams left our family that day. Now it is up to those of us left behind to pick up the pieces.

On the one hand, you know that it's not appropriate to post things like this... on the other hand, you post it anyways?

Can't speak for OP, but draftjs didn't work well on mobile at all for a major project I tried to use it in. Had to migrate off of it.

Yeah, there are fresh food vending machines around in a few places... notably in government offices like city hall or ward offices where you might have to wait for a while.

I'm not entirely sure, but yesterday I observed some vending machines at a local university that worked with student IDs. The machines had a small antenna encased in the drink display, so presumably that model broadcast payment and&#x2
