cyansmoker··on Linux containers in 500 lines of code (2016)
Can confirm. The bocker code (incl. my modest contributions) was targeted towards showing that the Linux toolbox was available and scriptable.
cyansmoker··on Lando: A Liberating Dev Tool for All Your Projects
"Where can I use it? Lando is not meant for production"

Well, off to a great start.

Update 10 minutes later: hmmm I may be starting to understand what Lando is about. So, it's for dev.

cyansmoker··on What’s the most asinine technical requirement you’ve had to work into a design?
Avoid the issue: assign UUIDs to everybody.
cyansmoker··on Fancy Zones, a tiling window manager
Fun! I created a configuration that lays out tiles following the Fibonacci pattern:

cyansmoker··on Vim.wasm
<ctrl-w>w closed my browser window. Should have seen this one coming.
cyansmoker··on Kustomize – Templating in Kubernetes
Adding to what was already said:

- being able to force better design when engineers have to work with multiple services depending on each other (using start-up containers, readiness and liveliness, etc)

cyansmoker··on Matrix.org hacked
I agreed with your comment, until I followed the github link and found that all issues had been removed.
cyansmoker··on Software Won’t Fix Boeing’s ‘Faulty’ Airframe
This.

The engines are further away from the plane's fulcrum, and this means that they can now cause the plane to tilt up more efficiently.

cyansmoker··on Notion – All-in-one workspace for notes, tasks, wikis, and databases
While your project seems nice, at this point in time there is little overlap with the concepts found in notion.

Did you publish a roadmap, that would allow us to differentiate it from something more like evernote?

cyansmoker··on Show HN: Docker-based immutable workstation
Hi.

You wrote "There is a developer who (I think) works for Docker..."

I believe that you are referring to Jessie Frazelle.

cyansmoker··on Creating a ReasonML App: step-by-step
I think ReasonML has a lot going for itself. However, there is so much focus on React and web rendering that it seems that folks do not realize that it can be used as a powerful modern syntax for OCaml. Hence these blogs posts.

Feedback, questions very much welcome!

cyansmoker··on Show HN: Personal avatar generator built in ReasonML
Take that frustration, increase at least by an order of magnitude and that's your experience implementing native apps.

Still Loving it, though!

cyansmoker··on Judge Rules Trump Can’t Block People on Twitter
Let's forget about how polarizing he is for one minute: I would make the argument that he is the one who made his Twitter feed a public forum when he encouraged people to follow him to get information. It follows that public discourse is now taking place where the tools allow people to respond.
cyansmoker··on Ineffective Entrepreneurship: Post-Mortem of Hippo
You're being harsh, or we did not read the same piece.

While, towards the end, the OP briefly refers to his efforts as "a startup" I think he was pretty clear that he was mostly trying to get to a point where he could __start__ a startup.

cyansmoker··on Mark Text: the next Generation markdown editor
It looks and behaves remarkably like Typora.

What's the story?

cyansmoker··on Blizzard's Battle.net Updater Installs Root Certificate
Correction:

Innocent version: we did nothing wrong and you are reacting before having even looked at that certificate.

cyansmoker··on Ask HN: Who is building “long lived” software?
And technical debt keeps accumulating... Even when starting a new product, lots of older code has to be reused.
cyansmoker··on Socialism Requires a Dictator
TL/DR: In this article, the FEE only does what it was created to do: tell us how socialism is a bad idea while liberal capitalism is a good one. No surprise here.
cyansmoker··on How the Maker of TurboTax Fought Free, Simple Tax Filing (2013)
Hello. This is the ministry of bad analogies. Your fine is ready.
cyansmoker··on Show HN: Captain, a Docker menu bar app for Mac
Alas: "Docker not available"
cyansmoker··on This is how you hustle
All this post shows is that some people are easily impressed. Nothing original or praise worthy to see here.
cyansmoker··on Show HN: Crystal Vault zero knowledge secrets storage
Hi everyone,

It started as a week-end project for something lacking at my work. I am now bracing myself for your comments! Be gentle :)

cyansmoker··on Show HN: BookmarkOS – an online desktop for keeping your bookmarks organized
Cheers!
cyansmoker··on Show HN: BookmarkOS – an online desktop for keeping your bookmarks organized
Very nice. I am considering giving it a serious try but an important "feature" to me is the ability to export bookmarks in order to avoid vendor lock-in. Any plans for that?
cyansmoker··on Twitter shut down Emojitracker's access
My experience with Twitter:

1. Build a successful product

2. Twitter discontinues dev-friendly policies, product gets shuttered

3. Later, tweet doubts about Twitter's dev "commitment"

4. Tweet gets removed

5. Read yet another horror story about working with Twitter

6. Twitter guys claims that Twitter is "committed"

7. Turns out, previously mentioned horror story tells a different story

8. Rinse, repeat?

cyansmoker··on C2: Affordable X86-64 Servers
This can usually be determined heuristically:

* loaded drivers may be named after the virtualization platform (VMware)

* CPUs can be reported as "Virtual" in /proc/cpuinfo

* Special files in /proc (for instance "vz" for OVZ)

* Kernel name

* etc.

cyansmoker··on Open Hunt is shutting down
Actually, I tried to email that address but got this:

Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the server for the recipient domain openhunt.co by mx1.improvmx.com. [192.241.186.150].

The error that the other server returned was: 550 relay not permitted

cyansmoker··on New GitHub Tool Lets Coders Build Software Like Bridges
People think of Fortran and Cobol as similar, due to their age. Put simply: they are not.
cyansmoker··on LinkedIn shares drop 40%, erasing $10B of company's value
You should not.

If anything, this will cause them to send even more emails!

cyansmoker··on GitHub Outage
sadly, same
