kgraves··on Fuchsia Workstation
People are saying Fuchsia is only usable on IoT devices, not much progress, etc.

However, not many new operating systems have a Chrome browser [0] on them and Fuchsia has this, not many people realise how huge this is let alone on a new from the ground up OS.

So I don't think Fuchsia will be going away, in fact I would say it is coming pretty fast.

Whether you like it or not, this tells me that they are targeting the desktop, laptops and chromebooks next.

kgraves··on Welcome to Web 3.0
Isn't IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) considered web3? can't you use IFPS without cryptocurrencies?

kgraves··on Welcome to Web 3.0
It is the same repeated boring non-arguments that critics make to feel smart.
kgraves··on Welcome to Web 3.0
Don't forget Solana, Stellar, Hedera as well which the anti-crypto crowd tend to ignore too.
kgraves··on Welcome to Web 3.0
This is actually cringeworthy and looks like the kind of site that crypto haters would make to try and come up with a strawman argument.

pathetic.

kgraves··on Ask HN: How do I feel less guilty about bugs?
Software that has no bugs is no software at all.
kgraves··on The Dirty Pipe Vulnerability
Just like Linux so no change there, We still need to move on.
kgraves··on The Dirty Pipe Vulnerability
Even with your formal methods strawman, vulnerabilities like these are still possible in Linux and C. We need to move on.
kgraves··on The Dirty Pipe Vulnerability
Google's Fuchsia/Zircon cannot come fast enough.
kgraves··on Giving Haiku Beta 3 a try
Given the amount of progress in porting Wine [0], RISC-V [1], 3D Acceleration and now has finally a full time developer (waddlesplash)

It very is astounding to see what the Haiku team has done with the resources they currently have on building what could be a useable alternative OS for the desktop.

I can only kindly suggest more of us donate to Haiku [2] there still needs to be more browsers (Chrome / Firefox) and polished ARM support (think Raspberry Pis)

kgraves··on Ask HN: Are micro web frameworks a good fit in 2022?
myself?
kgraves··on [dead]
or you could just say no...
kgraves··on I test in prod
Author, second line from headline:

> 'Testing in production is a superpower'

I wouldn't be surprised if most people stopped reading after that point.

> Did you read the full text?

kgraves··on I test in prod
Why is this something to be proud of?
kgraves··on Remix – A framework focused on web fundamentals and modern UX
This doesn't tell me anything at all, it looks like 100% marketing.

Is there a comparison between this and Next.js, Gatsby or any other framework?

kgraves··on Ask HN: Alternatives to Rust Programming Language
Is this the requirement of the OP though? I believe this is better than having nothing working on Windows and Crystal isn't difficult to master.
kgraves··on Ask HN: Alternatives to Rust Programming Language
Crystal? It recently reached 1.0

kgraves··on I'm sorry
It is now an expected requirement nowadays to write a 4000+ essay to apply for redemption from the public.

Saying "sorry" just isn't enough to absolve your "misdeeds", whatever they might be.

kgraves··on We moved from Pony to Rust
I find it a strange trend, as if it is some sort of competitive advantage.

very strange and odd.

kgraves··on Statement from Mark Zuckerberg
I think at this point, if you are currently employed at Facebook, the best way to make an impact is to outright leave.

Period.

kgraves··on Effective Go
> Java is faster and safe and can do everything go can do.

Including generating static binaries without the use of requiring to download a runtime?

kgraves··on Effective Go
I always refer myself and junior developers to Effective Go to sharpen their skills when working in our codebase.

Are there other hidden Go gems/guides that exist that I happen to not know about as well?

kgraves··on Signal is experiencing technical difficulties
my parents don't care about hypothetical downgrade attacks.
kgraves··on Build on Kubernetes from Day One
what is usually the cost for running kubernetes these days at startups and companies?

Last time heard, a friend of mine used it and racked up a huge bill with a co-worker and scared the living daylights out of me.

For that complexity, I have always stuck to something like render/heroku etc instead which has a much simpler workflow.

kgraves··on Gandi is *not* a privacy aware registrar (rant)
> As soon as I signed up I noticed there was no way to check if the domain being registered would come with whois privacy by default.

All False.

I've been on Gandi for more than 3 years and ALL my domains have whois privacy by default. [0]

Here is their article on this.

this is the first time I have heard of 'apollo graphql', doesn't seem to be well known really.
kgraves··on Ask HN: Should everyone who work on software be called an Engineer?
> Why

'coder' gets the point across with less syllables to stakeholders, general public etc than any other term.

kgraves··on Ask HN: Should everyone who work on software be called an Engineer?
'coder' is the best term to use.

'software developer', 'software engineer' and any other software specialisation under the sun tends to confuse stakeholders and the general public every time.

kgraves··on Stop using Brave Browser, now
Complete clickbait, seems that this is based on an old article from last year as even the author admits.

> Yes, this feature is off by default in the latest releases.

So this is resolved then? No need for the faux outrage.

kgraves··on We don’t use Kubernetes
I find it awfully sad and depressing how people on the internet pile onto a company that tells an opposing view without reading or discussing further into their choices.

Instead it is easier to to critique the low hanging fruit point rather than discussing their actual reason for not using this 'kubernetes' software.

So is their blog the main product? If not, then the 'their blog gone down lol' quips are irrelevant.

I found their post rather interesting and didn't suffer any issues the rest of the 'commenters' are facing.
