neumino··on Ask HN: Why don't more open-source projects monetize?
Because most of the time you can't monetize it enough to be able to escape your day job.

So at the end of the day, it's just beer money, and just creates more headaches (legal, taxes etc.)

neumino··on RethinkDB Relicensed under Apache 2.0
Kudos to the team :) Thanks for giving RethinkDB a second chance to strive.
neumino··on MongoDB queries don’t always return all matching documents
RethinkDB's query language is infinitely better (among many things).
neumino··on We Need a Better PC
Same here, the x1 carbon is linux friendly and has a great keyboard. I don't have a retina display, but I don't need that to write code.
neumino··on Dear open-source maintainers, a letter from GitLab
I've been using GitLab instead of GitHub recently for all my new projects and honestly there's nothing worse than GitHub and a few things are better - like having protected branches and master by default in it -, private respositories etc.

That being said, what both GitHub and GitLab are missing is actually becoming a "social network" or maybe more an active network. There are tons of interesting projects that pops up every day, that I would be interested in knowing about, contributing, but there's basically no way to learn about them.

Kudos to the GitLab team for all its work :)

neumino··on T-Mobile CEO to EFF: ‘Who the Fuck Are You?’
Their network improved a lot in the recent years. Their 4G network is currently the best one http://www.techlicious.com/blog/opensignal-state-of-lte-repo...

Another nice thing is free roaming in many countries abroad.

neumino··on T-Mobile CEO to EFF: ‘Who the Fuck Are You?’
He thought he could pick on EFF like he does on other carriers. That was his worst move so far.
neumino··on Avast’s man in the middle
Hum, this is disturbing. I would be curious to know how much malware is actually served over HTTPS and what good alternative to Avast is out there for Windows.
neumino··on CoreOS Introduces Clair: Open Source Vulnerability Analysis for Your Containers
Hey CoreOS, quick question for my own curiosity. You have released/are releasing tons of cool stuff, I'm just wondering what you plans are to maintain them? How much to you expect the community to update them? Is your team growing as fast as you release software?

Thanks for all your great work!

neumino··on How companies use RethinkDB in production
It was mostly a lack of docs. Most of the documentation assumes citusDB, and how to get things work without citusDB is left out.
neumino··on How companies use RethinkDB in production
I tried pg_shard a few months ago and after a few hours, I gave up. I somehow remember that partitioning MySQL was easier, and that's not a compliment.
neumino··on Everyone you know will be able to rate you on the terrifying ‘Yelp for people’
For the same reason as why you shouldn't have a service that locates where sex offenders/ex inmates, this service shouldn't exist. So many things can go wrong with something like this...
neumino··on Announcing Dex, an Open Source OIDC Identity Provider from CoreOS
I like how CoreOs folks take each painful thing to do, and come up with a simple to use solution. This should save people (and me) quite some time.
neumino··on React, Flux, RethinkDB and SageMathCloud – Summer 2015 Update
This is a really cool project. Have you tried to get funds from a university? I don't see why no universities would be interested in that.

Anyway, I hope things will get financially better for you.

neumino··on Sandstorm App Market
I had a hard time before to understand their catch phrase/what they were doing. Improving privacy and control is really what they provide, making the Open Source web apps viable is more for marketing purposes. That somehow doesn't resonate well with me (I had to go one of their meetup to get a better picture of what they are doing).

That being said, they really do something cool if you spend some time looking at it. They tackle security issues with a good approach IMO.

neumino··on OnHub
A slim cylindrical tube is also a box for a whisky bottle. It's just a cylindrical tube...
neumino··on Ask HN: How did you migrate to the country you are living in now?
France -> USA

Took part in a coding competition on HackerRank, did well, applied for a job, did a few more interviews, flew to California :)

neumino··on Introducing the Famous Framework
That was a joke... but I guess when it comes to front-end frameworks, we can't laugh.

neumino··on We Tried Slack and Regretted It
I kind of think that Gitter is a joke and I'm not convinced they can do better than Slack. I mean their Android app has the balls to ask you to write your GitHub credentials.

Maybe Asana/plain IRC is a better solution.

neumino··on Google listening in to your room shows importance of privacy defense in depth
> When you’re installing a version of GNU/Linux like Debian or Ubuntu onto a fresh computer, thousands of really smart people have analyzed every line of human-readable source code

If this was true, Debian would have not build/release this version of Chromium. The author is living in the past or in another dimension. Some projects are complex, and it's hard/impossible to read/understand everything for a single human being.

neumino··on Inverting Binary Trees Considered Harmful
> You are then ushered into a room with the programmer's worst nightmare - a blank whiteboard.

It may be the case for a few, but some people (including me) feel pretty comfortable with a white board. There's nothing hard in using a whiteboard. It's just a big sheet of paper...

Then if people think that they will never have to use a whiteboard to explain the design of their system to someone, maybe it's because they just "design" simple system.

neumino··on “Why does Chrome not have a good tab management system built in?”
I open one window per project, and use a good windows manager (awesome wm ^_^) and it works like a charm.

But then people don't want to use a tiling windows management because it's too hard to learn...

neumino··on Google I/O 2015 – Keynote
You could have bought a nexus.
neumino··on “The benchmark numbers are completely wrong for both databases”
There are other tools for this, like Chateau: https://github.com/neumino/chateau
neumino··on Reqlite – A RethinkDB ReQL server written in JavaScript
Try the new master, it's pretty good now :)

It doesn't sync to disk yet but it's planned.
