The one I saw most recently was working with an SRE coworker. Data in what looks like a table, in this case a subdomain/IP address, that overflows the cell gets cut off with no ability to actually view it. I almost had him just edit th

Yes. We’re beginning the process of moving away because of how they’ve become a single point failure that’s unreliable. AWS is more reliable and it’s a bad spot to be in when your CDN / router is down but your actual application is fin

These acquisition announcements always leave me uneasy. There’s a lot of hand waving, “nothing will change and our roadmap will stay the same!” but we can all do basic math and understand that’s not how business works. As an aside, I have t

Same, we got an email with a PDF with the affected commits and how to fix. What an absolute clown show.

I'm not a journalist so I don't have any interest in "telling you what happened," but the note about commits after the firestorm is a good one.

I lived in Japan and your level of written fluency paired with the patience to distill aspects of Japanese culture strikes me as AI. Even amongst long time foreigners, there’s this unspoken “we’re not explaining this to you, figure it out y

Only on HN is there a “well, actually” with little substance followed by a comment about a launch. The article isn’t about writing production ready agents, so it does appear to be that easy

I don’t really see what’s newsworthy. Acela already runs in the NE corridor and many trains have outlets. Other than the 27% increase in trains, it’s hard to tell what’s different

I’m not creating a medium account to read the entire article, but I read plenty of bad code while living in Japan — as a full-time employee, a contractor, and open source projects. I would take this article with a grain of salt.

I’m mixed about Next.js. On one hand, it’s a company building a framework with investors, of course there are incentives for them to corner the market. Like the author mentions, Redis labs has a similar model. The license is MIT, so Netfify

I think linux + osx combined is probably developer majority. I'm assuming most Windows development is .NET or Unity based. Over the past nine years, I've worked primarily with Node, Ruby, and a smidgen of Java and no employer has

I passionately disagree with this. Abstractions inherently introduce some level of opaqueness and it's only useful in the context of making things more maintainable. Duplicated code is easier to reason about because its intent is close

I chose TypeScript for a large project for the first time in early ~2018 and had no idea how much history I had missed. I presumed that the adoption was the other way around and that TypeScript was chosen because it fit the project's n

In my experience, using a service like Cloudflare or Fastly creates a gap between what you're working with locally and in pre-production environments. It quickly becomes a single point of failure, but you can offset some of this with h

Like others have mentioned, this seems to be from ~2016. The lack of HTTPS on the provided link ages this some for me, but the use of coffeescript really dates this[1]. I even thought coffeescript had been deprecated, but it does seem that

JS land really needs to take some notes on how Rust and Go handle major versions, i.e. avoid them if possible. Breaking changes may be progress for tooling but for end users it's upgrade hell. Ruby ~Rails~ found the middleground where

This is a really interesting legal area. I wonder what the legal implications for social media influencers would be if FTX had used them for a PR push? I know of at least one YouTube video[1] pushing a positive sentiment for SBF but I don&#

You're free to your interpretation but your comments come of as being frustrated with something you've not paid for nor have any obligation to be involved with — yet you persist. If you have a language or project as complex as Zig

If Zulip became an overnight success, five to seven years from now I see them making similar changes. Resources cost money and Slack achieved what it needed to in order to establish itself as the dominant company in the space. If anything,
