OCaml seems to be on an upswing in popularity/hype recently. As someone who's threading the waters in Clojure but not a fan of the JVM developer experience I'm curious why OCaml is a great choice.

I would love to hear some stories from people using it in production. I'm leaning towards wanting to use a LISP as it's just so elegant... but I feel that getting boggled down in "hard core" functional programming is a bit daunting and limiting.

Looking at the website I see there's quite a few features I didn't know about! Maybe there's not really any update I would need after all.

This looks sweet! I use git quite lightly right now as I'm currently the only developer on my project. Gitup.co is the benchmark of Git apps for me right now. I barely need anything more than it and it's so incredibly light feeling. Like the app goes out of the way so that I can do what I need, such as reviewing lines to be staged.

It hasn't been receiving many updates unfortunately. I'm happy that another app has popped up! Looking forward to try it out.

They don't support linebreaks though. We would love to switch to KaTeX but the lack of linebreaks, among probably others, is a deal breaker. Working with MathJax is awful.

I think he's referring to `Object.keys(object).reduce`. We polyfill `Object.entries` so we do `Object.entries(object).reduce((result, [key, value]) => ...)`

The rent is really getting ridiculous. Seems like a lot of people are stuck in the prices they had five years ago. Though if you pick a WG, or live with a partner, you should end up paying between 25-35% of your rent. Not too shabby, but it used to be a LOT less only a few years ago.

Oh you're right! I forgot about Reflex. Do you play?

I think two games came close to offering the speed & fluidity that QW offers.

One is CPMA (http://playmorepromode.org/) which is basically Q3 with QW physics. It's based on Quake 3, which I was never a fan of, and really fast & fun!

The other one is Warsow (https://www.warsow.gg/). I enjoyed playing this game a lot, but I think a lot of us got bored at version 0.4 or 0.5 when it seemed to become more "beginner friendly" and less... fast. (If there's any Warsow players in here you might remember eml from bolted.nu :)

I still watch QW games occasionally, especially duels. The longevity of the game is insane. Seems to me that the FPS duel genre is dying off though. (Not that I follow anything closely anymore.)

Let's see if the guy proves his working at Google first[1]. Sounds like a bunch of BS to me.

Seems like you haven't tasted great lettuce! Try one grown in Finland, it'll blow your mind. I miss Finnish vegetables more than anything else!

Thanks for the writeup. I wouldn't mind having a very hackable phone I suppose. Does one need Linux to enjoy it at its fullest, or is OSX also okay?

Any Jolla/Sailfish users out there that could shed some light on their impressions so far? I'm reluctant to switch to Android or iOS but I will need to switch out my phone real soon.

Would love to see if this could be integrated with Webpack, which (not necessarily always) requires a full reload to see changes.

It says "coming for Linux & Mac." No reason for the developer to have to push all at once or any other platform first. Can't wait to try it on OSX!

ELB has been such a pain to work with for us. Their latest platform version has fixed some of the random fails at least. Our biggest issue right now is that the same EC2 instance that is running the code is used to pull down & build the docker image. For us in staging that meant the machine ran out of memory. _Of course_ we then had to upgrade to a better machine so as not to run out of memory.

Isn't it that `>=6` would gladly accept `7.0`, but `>=6.0.0` wouldn't?

They're adding all sorts of junk to Messenger. Surely they're monetizing that platform on itself already, or will soon.

This might be far fetched but is there any chance there are plans to enable OSX devs to work with Windows Phone apps? I love my phone, but I can't use anything else than OSX.

Kudos for providing both a video walkthrough AND an identical text version. Made me really happy!

Shouldn't Google catch on to this stuff and demote their site ranking?

I don't know how/if it helps the collective, but sites that behave this way receive a "Mark as spam" on gmail from me. It more or less guarantees that I never see them again, and I guess if enough people mark them as spam they'll actually get caught in the "global spam filter"?

Clojure/ClojureScript | goskive.com | Berlin, Germany | Full-time

We're looking for Clojure/ClojureScript programmers that can handle both sides of the stack. Our team of 3 engineers (disregarding the mobile developers) need someone to help us implement new features and services.

You will preferably have experience in Clojure, as you'll be leading the way as we transition away from Node!

We can help with working VISAs and to an extent relocation as well.

If you like the idea of our product and joining a small team of engineers with lots of opportunity to take charge, then by all means send an email over to jobs @ goskive.com!

PS. First jobs post, feel free to feedback.

I thought everyone was doing this already. The first thing I noticed when pushing my first test version of our Node server was that the images was way above what I thought it should be. It seems really odd that the "official" Docker images are this big. Perhaps to enable easy development within the VMs, and not meaning for these to be distributed?

Pretty cool but that pricing... I'd be happy to shell out $9 if the trial was successful and the app felt more useful than the alternatives. But $29?

I too am leaning towards converting our ugly gulp directory into npm scripts. I'm though less sure about how to handle replacing relative image paths in CSS & JS with ones on cloudfront. Have you dealt with things like these? Would love to see how!

I consider makefiles a skill as well, as I never learned to write them. Perhaps I never learnt bash. Takes me back to my C/C++ days fighting the build system whenever I didn't use an IDE! I didn't get very far... :-)

HN is a bad example seeing as the maintainers refuse to put in the small amount of effort it would take to make it work decently on mobile.

If you read the article it's right there.

Fun game, I hated the controls though.

Not a surprise since Github is down, right? :)
