garindra··on Show HN: Hasura – Fast, instant GraphQL APIs on Postgres
We at Sale Stock (fashion e-commerce in Indonesia) built an in-house system similar to this but more automatic and works with CockroachDB. Not open source yet, but might be interesting to you guys: https://speakerdeck.com/salestock/laskar-high-velocity-graph... (skip to around mid-way, first half is intro to GraphQL)
garindra··on Google and IBM announce Istio – easily secure and manage microservices
Is the sidecar-container-within-a-pod the only deployment option on Kubernetes currently? Is a daemonset deployment (like what Linkerd does) option currently in the works?
garindra··on Ask HN: Is S3 down?
DockerHub is down as well. DockerHub was down in Oct 2015 because S3 was down in US-EAST. They should have known to cache images in multiple S3 regions since then.
garindra··on React Native is now open source
It's the server-side GraphQL for me :(
garindra··on React Native is now open source
A little typo on the code example on the ListView docs page (https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/listview.html#c...):

    new ListViewDataSource
should have been:

    new ListView.DataSource
garindra··on SpaceX Has Pinpointed the Problem That Caused the Falcon9 to Crash Land
From one of his tweets:

> Hydraulics are usually closed, but that adds mass vs short acting open systems. F9 fins only work for 4 mins. We were ~10% off.

garindra··on Show HN: I created an app to sync any folder with Dropbox
I'm not sure I understand how not giving access to your Dropbox account to Boxifier makes you that more comfortable -- Boxifier will be able to read/write your Dropbox files anyways, what's the big difference?
garindra··on Atlantic.net launches $0.99 SSD-based VPS servers
EC2's new t2.micro instance is actually $9.50/month https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2014/07/01/introd...
garindra··on PyPy.js: Now faster than CPython
In the browser environment, people usually use quite a few inline anonymous functions. Javascript is great at this since you can define full-blown anonymous functions anywhere.

Python, on the other hand, is definitely one of the worst at this. You can only create one-line, single-expression anonymous function with its lambda keyword. Of all the languages you want to convert to JS so that it runs on the browser, Python is probably the last.

garindra··on Mailgun Down – SSL cert is expired
Yeah, but if your status page is made to be seen by external people, the right thing to do would be to monitor it just like if you were using it externally. There are whole slew of problems that wouldn't be exposed correctly if your monitoring point is internal -- like this exact problem, DNS, etc.
garindra··on Hacker News down, unwisely returning HTTP 200 for outage message
It's CloudFlare, not CloudFront.
garindra··on Google Ventures Puts $258M Into Uber, Its Largest Deal Ever
The reason I asked it because taxis have very different usage pattern than regular cars -- there might be extra operating costs (like extra gas, oil change, & service costs due to the extra range, and probably taxi operating license fee) that I'm not aware of which might weaken the analogy with the average car a bit.
garindra··on Google Ventures Puts $258M Into Uber, Its Largest Deal Ever
>> The highest cost for taxis is not the cars, nor the gas, but the drivers.

Do you have any source on this?

garindra··on Red Bull and Business Strategy
F1 might be not that popular in the US, but the Red Bull F1 team has been dominating F1 for a few years now.
garindra··on San Francisco to L.A. in 30 Mins. With Proposed New Transportation System
I don't think Tesla would worry for Hyperloop in the case of SF-to-SJ type commutes -- BART and Caltrain would probably be the ones who should worry. In fact in the US, I don't think there'd be a case where Tesla would worry about Hyperloop at all, as it's pretty car-driven culturally and architecturally -- people in general are walking-averse and still need cars to get to places that are between "stations". It might be different in other places like Europe or Asia though.
garindra··on San Francisco to L.A. in 30 Mins. With Proposed New Transportation System
With the addition of Hyperloop, Elon Musk is basically transforming transportation in all possible ranges:

- Short-range (in-city, cross-city): Tesla

- Medium-range/long-range (cross-state, possibly cross-country & cross-continent): Hyperloop

- Ultra-long-range (cross-planetary, possibly cross-galactic): SpaceX

garindra··on Apple Announces Mac OS X 'Mavericks'
I honestly thought Sea Lion was pretty cool.
garindra··on Wi-Fi signals enable gesture recognition throughout entire home
I think this is where AI comes in -- it should be possible for AI to discern meaningful/non-meaningful movements (based on size, speed, previous state, etc.)
garindra··on Amazon India is now live
What's the protocol when the customer can't pay on delivery?
garindra··on Can Someone Turn Me On?
There might be a lot of internal things that you don't want this "proxy" person to see & hear.. In that case, the Double is a better bet.
garindra··on Xbox One: Microsoft's All-In-One Home Entertainment System
Yeah. As soon as I saw CBS (which weirdly, was first presented in the context of the voice-activated command feature), I knew it had a pretty good chance of taking over the "input A".
garindra··on Fragment.js - A tiny tool for loading html fragments and templates
It's a nice fun little tool -- but it's rather inefficient in terms of the number of AJAX requests that it needs to do in order to fetch the templates. The rather simple linked page needs a total of 3 AJAX requests, one for each template. As your app (especially mobile apps) needs more templates, it probably won't be very performant. There's a reason why Ember and other frameworks prefer their templates to be embedded right in the HTML -- no need for separate AJAX fetching.
garindra··on Facebook User #41
Probably deleted test accounts.
garindra··on Intro to the Python Framework Pyramid
Pinterest is built on Django too.
garindra··on Facebook's New Feed
If anyone from FB is here: is the live news ticker going away? I can't see it in any of the new design preview pictures. I honestly love that feature and would hate it to go away in the new design.
garindra··on Facebook Adds SPDY Support
Seems like Facebook doesn't turn on SPDY for all its CDNs yet. I only see SPDY turned on for sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net and photos-a.xx.fbcdn.net, which only serve a rather small portion of all the static assets. The lion share of its assets are mainly served through fbstatic-a.akamaihd.net, fbcdn-photos-a.akamaihd.net and other *.akamaihd.net domains, which aren't SPDY-enabled currently.
garindra··on Common JavaScript Gotchas
Google has been working on Dart for quite a while : http://www.dartlang.org/
garindra··on Google's Goals with Chromebook Pixel
Nope, I'm a developer and I fully see getting a Chromebook in the near future as I develop some of my applications through SSH on my remote EC2 instance anyways. The reason why I didn't get it just yet is because I wasn't too impressed with the 3G connection of the Google CR48 that I got a while ago. Once I see good 3G/LTE connection reviews of Chromebook, there's a high chance I'm getting it.
garindra··on Host webpages on Google Drive
You can use the Google CDN's copy of the jQuery file -- it supports HTTPS. The URL would be : https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.0/jquery.mi...

The CDN also hosts a few of other popular libraries too : https://developers.google.com/speed/libraries/devguide

And why is that?
