Nice! I totally agree with this! I've used https://www.conventionalcommits.org (initially from Angular, I think) and it has _really_ made me a better programmer. Worth pointing out that it also simplified code review a lot to make PRs less of a frictionpoint.

Using https://github.com/github/hub has allowed me to fire off small pull requests at a high rate. It _almost_ makes pull request creation as lightweight as commits. This leads to smaller pull requests that are easier to review and likely easier to get a quick review on for because of that. Additionally, the reviewer is IMO likelier to approve the PR, leading to me being a much more productive engineer shipping things at a higher rate.

Is Arc open source?

Seriously, is this an April Fools' joke?

I joined a startup 6 years ago where the CEO has been extremely transparent about all business decisions over the year. I've learnt a lot from that.

Yeah, I just tweeted about this: https://twitter.com/JensRantil/status/1247431174865203203

https://www.getguesstimate.com (I'm not affiliated) might help with estimates like these.

"Non-Production Environments Have Diminishing Returns" https://medium.com/@paulosman/production-oriented-developmen... Exactly my insight from years of fighting staging environments and the issues with them. If I'd ever start a company I'd skip a staging environment all together. Instead of focus on staged/gradual rollouts, solid automatic testing before mainline and feature flags.

Weird. Works for me now. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Apparently they don't seem to do it with all their integrations at least: https://www.insider.com/jpmorgan-announces-partnership-with-...

I work for a popular european competitor of Plaid, Tink (https://tink.com). We don't do screen scraping, but use the banks' own APIs. These days we also ride on the european bank directive "PSD2" which gives us the right to aggregate financial data from financial providers such as banks. That means we aren't breaking an Terms of Services with banks!

...and yes, we support 2FA. ;)

From what I understand the key is verifying that BIOS and unencrypted part of disk is unaltered. It is not verifying that any of the encrypted part of the hard drive has been tampered with. As such, it is not storing the hard drive decryption key on the USB stick.

Mixed caps vs. no caps

Also my OCD kicks in with sometimes colons. Additionally, periods in commit messages...

"Scalability issues" makes it sound like a blocer. I'd rephrase is as "doesn't support horizontal scaling which might be a limit to some".

Additionally, you could always have reliable delivery over NATS using the request/response pattern using acking and retries.

Semi-correct observation. You could think of it as a ZeroMQ broker that supports the pub/sub patternz, yes. Difference is it's centralized (with support for HA), adds security, gives you monitoring, supports multi-tenancy and horizontal scaling allowing to connect multiple clusters. Benefit of using broker is that service discovery is a no-op.

Also, NATS has client libraries for many languages that adds request/response semantics on top of the pub/sub semantics.

It not necessarily aiming at that.

Finally all American parents can simply just buy a one-way plane ticket for their kids and put them on a bus back! So much cheaper!

Meditation.

Those are some very inconsistent commit messages.

> Canada becomes first G20 country to ban trade in shark fins

I'm not a native English speaker and was expecting s/in/with since I read you are not allowed to use shark fins as transportation for trade.

godoc, git and Google Cloud AppEngine SDK all works offline. That's all I need.

Bump. Exchanging contact information by bumping phones was fun and frictionless.

I've already written down everything I know in https://www.quora.com/What-are-the-best-secrets-of-great-pro.... I keep updating that answer from time to time.

Ouch, my employer is named Tink (https://business.tink.se). We're a Swedish/European based fintech company offering data-driven banking APIs. This is bad for our SEO... :-)

How can this not have been posted on Hacker News before? Do old posts expire after some time?

Let's talk about reliability: The network is unrealiable; Firewalls might be broken, packets are dropped, IP-addresses may change, cellphones lose connection in subway tunnels. Simply calling "streaming reliable" without even defining what the "reliability" is protecting again, makes "reliable" an overstatement.

IMHO the most reliable way to get data from point A to point B is likely by having a client actively polling for data, using a strict socket timeout. Data should be at-least once delivered. If JSONS should be called anything remotely "reliable" as periodically polling, at least it should have a strict timeout (not mentioned in the article) for receiving the next newline & it should handle replaying of non-acked messages. Otherwise I would call it far from "reliable".

Tried searching for the app in Google Store. Does the app exist for Android?
