What a strange world. 621 points on Hacker News but the thing doesnt actually exist. I'm thinking about submitting a new post soon 'Show HN: I am writing An effective micro transaction platform to eliminate ads from the internet.&

I would argue that's just a problem with how you spend your time. Most of this Twitter stuff IS a waste of time. It's not productive let's face it.

People argue about whether remote work is 'productive' but is 'productive' all we really care about? I understand this is Hacker News so productive is the guiding principle but what about community, friendship? Doesn&#x

Morning coffee at work is where you actually solve problems without managers butting in. You don't typically talk to friends about work as well.

I have a script I call brain dump. It is just vim running in a while loop in a terminal. I can switch to at any time with Ctrl+Shift+J. I type some stuff and when I'm done I save as normal and the note is emailed to be behind the scene

I have an Alfred workflow that lets me copy any text, press CMD + Shift + X, and emails me the snippet. I then have a simple app that connects to my email account (Gmail) and lets me add tags (labels) to notes. This allows me to take notes

Just remove them? As long as you remove them within 48 hours you'll be fine. Why go outside? You might get hit by a bus.

If you're on AWS, then you should be using ECS first of all.

Like it or not, this is the future. If Amazon don't do it then someone else will. People want cheap goods and this will give them cheaper goods. The solution to your worries is a universal basic income.

Oh look another article with a provocative (e.g. link-bait) title. I'm sure this will be a well-balanced, nuanced piece on the costs and benefits of TDD, when it makes sense, when it does not make sense, and will leave me with a better

Probably would have been easier to just fix your app to not require constant attention.

Website isn't great. It wants me to signup just so I can see what it does. It talks about templates but I can't see a link to what a template is and what it looks like anywhere. I don't want to watch a video to get a product

Well I used Docker on top of Mesos so I have quite a bit of experience and the above were all problems I faced. They're not impossible problems obviously but they take time and thought to solve. From your responses, I am not sure you f

I still love Docker and do think it solves a genuine problem. But yes, where to put your logs, how to manage state, how to schedule containers on machines, how to coordinate processes, how to inspect an app when something goes wrong, how to

TL;DR It's too damn complicated if you're not Google/Twitter/Netflix. Most people would be fine just deploying OS packages and keeping their stacks as simple as possible.

No Cloudformation support yet? I don't see it in the docs.

I would say this traditionally case but I think things are slowly changing even in the Enterprise world, where they too are starting to realise it's not realistic to be good at everything as well as their employees demanding better ser

Well it's not just Slack that sets expectations but pretty much every SaaS webapp out there. Of course, you can add features but do not underestimate how much work it is to do so and is it even worth the effort? It is what you should b

So you set this up and you use it for a few hours and everyone on your team is like hey this is kinda cool. * a month or so passes * Now everyone is invested in the tool and since the expectations have been set by things like Slack they exp

I think you're absolutely right. The only reason to use Openstack I can see is if you have to support random OVA's (from vendors) or Windows otherwise it adds needless complexity.
