Such as? It'd be interesting to see what else he's known for

It was these sorts of websites which led me to fall in love with the internet. How far we've fallen. I miss those heady days.

I commend your loyalty (and the grit and determination required to pull back from addiction), but I have to agree that such loyalty will not benefit you long term. Stay loyal to your boss and to those who helped you through tough times - but don't mix that up with a loyalty to the company as a whole.

Yes! Brad's "it's alive" and Claire's "Gourmet makes" are both great. I started making Kombucha and Sauerkraut because of Brad's video on the subject. Giardiniera next!

I already liked Contrapoints but I hadn't subscribed until now. Thank you!

Brilliant, added!

Thanks, I've subscribed to them as they all sound really interesting :)

I'm not really qualified to be able to tell the difference; what makes you say that?

I've used Ecto in the past to build API validation, so having Ecto and its DB adapters separated is a great move in my opinion.

I really enjoyed this article. Scots is certainly a language of its own - to hear it in the wild you must venture out of the more populous areas (Inverness and Aberdeen are exceptions) of Scotland and into the highlands and rural areas. It is also used much more by older, poorer or more isolated demographics within Scotland: as a farmers' son, I met many Scots-speaking people when I went to the market with my father.

People who claim Scots is "just an accent" don't know what they're talking about.

Me too, but we're not the target demographic. In any case I think Matrix is the best bet for open communities right now - it has full slack integration anyway.

Speak for yourself! :D

I'm using kubevirt for this. My usecase is to allow preconfigured windows VMs to boot up inside of kubernetes - so that both Windows VMs and Linux containers are manipulated using the same API. It works very well!

TSB's parent company had appointed an offshore 3rd party to implement the work. The CEO of TSB had hired IBM because he did not trust the offshore company's ability to deliver anymore. I agree it's likely going to cost even more in technical debt and/or setbacks if they bring in fresh eyes at this point!

My export from Facebook is 5.5GB - for large zipfiles like mine, the UI doesn't do anything when you drop the file onto the event listener.

I've been streaming on and off for a few years now. Livecoding was a good idea in principal, but the team did not handle their growth well, and made a few pretty bad decisions which have been well documented on HN before. Twitch didn't ever feel like it was the right place for programming streams, but it's the best we have right now. I hope I can get back into streaming later on in the year (it's quite a big time commitment), perhaps there will be a better solution by then!

My wish-list:

A good chat API which supports code snippets (this is something that streamers will want to pour over and make streams about, because it makes good content!).

Localized streaming servers in order to keep latency low.

The site development process should be streamed! I have no idea why the Livecoding guys didn't live stream their dev work (other than perhaps a fear of losing "IP", but I personally don't think that's a particularly strong argument - there's always some code that could be streamed without issue, such as frontend JS. I suspect the real reason was that their developers weren't aligned with the product and didn't want to stream).

Support for pair programming (two streamers working on the same project together) - this allows streamers to market to each others' audience, and can produce some really great content as the streamer is forced to explain to their partner why they're doing what they're doing.

Integration with editors as an alternative to regular streaming. A UI which looks something like jsbin.com - where the text editor is shown next to the output - would allow for streamers with lower upload speeds to only stream their webcam, while their editor and terminal is mirrored in text, nicely resizing to fit the users' screens. This view could be composited into a video stream for users who aren't viewing through a web browser (like chromecast users).

This is a shame! I've been using Docracy for years as a good, free alternative to echosign. Hopefully something similar will spring up in its place.

Just curious - does Slack offer SLAs? To many businesses, especially remote businesses, Slack is becoming more and more integral to day-to-day operations.

Glad I'm not the only one who feels this way. I'm also glad that I'm aware to some extent of how what I don't know might obscure my judgement - I think a lot of people don't get exposed to the amount of cross-discipline junctures in knowledge that people in tech do.

That's how we've been migrating from our existing terraform-based infra to kubernetes. It made the transition of our staging environment relatively painless.

Brilliant,

We're rolling out a k8s setup right now on AWS - having a managed k8s that we can upgrade nicely would be amazing.

I'd also love to know if there's a solution for this problem!

The great thing about using Minio in front of Azure is that Minio supports pre-signed url generation whereas (as far as I know) Azure does not.

As a Spacemacs user for over a year (and a neovim user for a few years before that, and a vim user for a few years before that), I find that spacemacs does a good job of emulating vim keybindings, but it isn't exactly right. Having neovim handling the keybindings and communicating what actions need to be taken back to emacs would let me have the great flexibility of emacs' plugin system, while retaining the vim keybindings in as authentic a manner as possible.

I don't think OP is specifically criticising the size of the US army, but rather the culture that surrounds the presence the military has in the country.

I'm from the UK, and I too have found the cultural US norms around military service creepy and weird.

Is there any sense of if/when nvidia's proprietary drivers will work with Wayland? I built a new machine with an Nvidia 1080Ti less than 4 weeks ago. I'd rather not have to switch...

Same here!

I fell in love with Arch about 5 years ago. I use it every day as my daily work machine: One of the best things about arch is its documentation - specifically its wiki. Arch lets you start off with a fairly simple installation, but you always have the option of moving off the beaten path and doing something different.

It's that flexibility which allows people to create arch installs with a very low memory footprint, or crazy-fast boot times, or bleeding-edge software.

Another part of Arch's allure is its overall simplicity: it is possible to learn how to administer the entire system within a day or two. The wiki makes it easy to read up and learn about how to configure a portion of your system should you want to, and the installation covers of your system covers most of the fundamentals anyway!

Pacman (and pacaur!) are great, and having the latest packages is also great (I've only needed to reinstall my Arch setup once in the 5+ years I've used it, by the way), but these days we have Docker and VMs which are fast and usable enough on commodity hardware that they can be used to safely compile and run custom packages if you really need them, so it's not quite as cool as it was back then, but having it integrated into your package management system (and getting updates from AUR maintainers on packages based on git clones!) is still very useful.
