hashamali··on Sandboxing and workload isolation
Love what the folks at fly.io are doing with edge deployed containers.

Interesting comparison with Cloudflare's isolate approach which they expanded on earlier this week: https://blog.cloudflare.com/mitigating-spectre-and-other-sec...

Seems like there is an edge compute option for any requirement these days!

hashamali··on Show HN: Routine Ops – Schedule recurring tasks by role
Your Stripe key might be misconfigured, FYI. Console is showing the following error when I went to the sign up page:

"apiKey should be string. You specified: undefined"

hashamali··on Cloudflare launches Workers Unbound, next evolution of its serverless platform
I see Go listed as a supported language. Is that through WASM build targets or something else?
hashamali··on Show HN: Form-validation.js – JavaScript form validation library
I've been pretty happy with Formik (https://formik.org/docs/overview) for the past few years. Any comparison to this library?
hashamali··on Ask HN: What weird or hard problems are you trying to solve?
Have you considered something like Pulumi for the glue?

Love this idea, the ease of Heroku + the flexibility of Kubernetes would be amazing.

hashamali··on How CDNs Generate Certificates
Question about fly.io: do you support HTTP/2? I have wanted to put gRPC services directly on the edge but most managed services make it completely convoluted to set up (the lone exception being Google Cloud Run).
hashamali··on How CDNs Generate Certificates
+1 on a deeper dive on that, very curious to hear more!
hashamali··on The Next Step for Generics
While I’ve learned to work without generics, this is a welcome proposal. Many cases where we’ve been forced to use interface{} + cast could be genercized.
hashamali··on Show HN: Twingate – A modern solution for remote access
Love this mission statement. I hope to never wrestle with VPN ever again. Good luck!
hashamali··on Show HN: Twingate – A modern solution for remote access
Very cool! How does this compare with Tailscale which utilizes Wireguard under the hood?
hashamali··on What Unity Is Getting Wrong
Curious how you’re getting $2m? Are you the Enterprise plan?
hashamali··on What Unity Is Getting Wrong
Unity does miss on a lot of things, but I'd like to point out one of its best qualities: the pricing model. Compared to Unreal, Unity is a steal. Despite Unreal's recent changes to not collect royalties on the first $1m of gross revenue, its license can get quite expensive if you have a successful game.

* Unity: $1800 / year, no royalties. (Unity Pro)

* Unreal: 5% of gross revenue.

GKE on Google Cloud has a robust interface and is very usable in my experience.
hashamali··on Show HN: Generate a static website from any back end
This is extremely impressive for an 18 year old, well done!
hashamali··on Rob Pike interview
Hm, not sure I agree with some of those criticisms:

1) I don't think Go is in the Java (pre 8) realm of verbosity, but I concede it's not as compact as say Python. 2) Technically you can write single return Go but idiomatic Go leans towards immutability so it's not recommended. 3) I've run into the lack of generics a few times, but personally haven't been too hampered by it. This is an entirely valid complaint, hopefully support will be added soon! 4) Some would argue this is a feature. ;) 5) This was more true a few years ago. Now with Go Modules for package management and VSCode + Go extension with full debugger freely available, tooling is much improved.

Yeah https://pillarplus.com is working now. The www redirect still down though.

Site can't be reached. Is the domain correct?
hashamali··on Ask HN: Great fiction books that have had a positive impact on your life?
My personal favorite.
hashamali··on Show HN: Screen – screen sharing for remote work, by the cofounder of Screenhero
How does this compare with Tuple (https://tuple.app/)? Interestingly, Tuple was inspired by Screenhero and motivated by it’s closure.
hashamali··on Fund-my-project: Earn grants/funding for your project
Love the quick turnaround. :)
hashamali··on Ask HN: What projects are you working on now?
Saw https://saasify.sh/ on here recently that sounds in the ballpark fo what you’re going for.
hashamali··on Ask HN: What projects are you working on now?
Any references you would recommend?
hashamali··on Tyk: Micro-grants for side projects
A directory of these sorts of grants along with their deadlines and application process would be very useful!
hashamali··on Show HN: WorkOS – APIs for enterprise features like SSO/SAML
It looks like RBAC isn't out yet, any timeline on that? This seems like a very useful product!
hashamali··on Shelter in place for Bay Area counties
Important caveat:

Grocery stores and pharmacies will remain open, and restaurants may stay open to provide takeout food only. Also staying open: veterinary services, gas stations and auto repair shops, hardware and other home supply stores, banks and laundry services.

Daycare centers may stay open, but children must be kept in groups no larger than 12, and they must stay with the same group of children every day.

hashamali··on Show HN: Automated code security assistant for developers
Very cool. How does this compare to Snyk? https://snyk.io

Awesome landing page. Curious if you guys made it yourself or outsourced to an agency?
hashamali··on Ant Design 4.0
Huge fan of this project. Makes throwing together a beautiful dashboard extremely easy, even for those less experienced in web design.
