thepumpkin1979

We hired him in a talent website, when I say he disappeared is because he was just unavailable to continue doing the voice over for us, he was not available for booking anymore. I suspect this company reached out to him, booked him heavily or something so he was not available for us.

I can tell it’s a billion dollar business, I launched a Meditation app two months ago, we had good retention and users were loving the app. Then the guy we hired to do the voice over disappeared with no explanation so we couldn’t fulfill our promise of “daily meditation” because the voice was not the same. 15 days later I understood why: We received a Cease and Desist from one of the companies behind the top meditation and mindfulness apps in the AppStore. They certainly don’t want anybody to enter that niche.

New York Times link in the article points to Wikipedia April 1st

I can't believe JavaFX is still alive, it's been years since Silverlight and Flash died.

I've been using it with Cattle for more than a year now, I've saved thousands of dollars in PaaS bills thanks for my little Rancher cluster. I just setup a new Rancher 2.0 cluster controlplane and dashboard in Scaleway Paris with a Worker in Digital Ocean NY. I'm starting to migrate all my apps from the 1.6 to the new cluster. I haven't tried the new CI/CD thing, but it looked great in the training sessions.

Rancher 2.0 was just announced today, 100% Kubernetes-based https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16976934

I use the console to manage S3 buckets and credentials in IAM. EC2 instances are provisioned via Rancher.

I can’t finish reading the article, it asks me to install an app.

I can not install Aurora in my servers

I could cost more but if CRDB is able to do it without vendor lock-in I don't think it's just SEO/Content marketing fluff, the blog post invites you to try it yourself anyway so I'd do that first and then call them bs.

I'd love to try Cockroachdb for a reasonably sized service but it's active-record adapter[0] doesn't work yet. I'm watching the repo to see what progress is made towards supporting Rails 5.

Thank you, that was such a good read. So Casper won, does it make you hate them? I tend to dislike the winner when I read stories like this.

I read that they're shifting from launching everything together in one single event where some products might not be entirely ready to launch their updates when they are actually ready. is this part of that new schedule?

Nice, check Designing for Empathy and Retention by DoorDash, it could be a good addition.

Congrats, this is really great. Question, since it’s not based on Node.js there is no way to leverage on a regular package manager, how can I create reusable code between edge workers? How can I make an open source snippet without copy and paste?

Ok, now being serious, they need to include a real example here. Whenever I run a Lambda function is to process something and make a call to at least one external service. I was a .NET developer for a long time and I seriously doubt .NET Core has been improved to the point where blocking http calls are handled better than in Go runtime. I may believe .NET Core may have some performance advantages in some CPU bound scenarios, but nothing more. Until then, this benchmark proves nothing.

Safari iPhone 7 here, it seems to be caused by Firefox Focus content blockers. I disabled it and it works fine now.

Off-topic: this page is really hard to read in a mobile browser, it freezes and when you try to zoom out it redirects to another post, I can't figure out what's wrong with it.

Edit: Seems to work ok with content blockers disabled.

This is good news, I've been looking for alternatives to EC2 and was unable to switch to Scaleway or Vultr due lack of regions in the Americas.

What's the advantage of Prgmr?

hey, thanks for the feedback, I guess linking to my product can be considered as soft-launching it(both my company website and invoicing app at the same time). I fixed the typo, the contact form is on the works. You can reach me out by email: im at bithavoc dot io

1) Got engaged :) 2) I built my own invoicing web app(breakdeck.com). 3) Developed an Electron app aimed at developer's productivity that I actually use 4) I published my first native Electron/Node.js module https://github.com/bithavoc/node-desktop-idle 5) Read 4/7 books I intended to read throughout the year. 6) Visited a new country

5 USD for 512mb of RAM, isn't that a bit excessive?

I've been been using Rancher for 6 months now and it has been a very smooth experience. They're incredibly careful with upgrades and their Release instructions are just a breeze to follow. I'm actually happy with Cattle but I understand Kubernetes won and we just have to accept it.

There are decent size mining farms in Venezuela, the government has recently started to seize them. (in Spanish) https://criptonoticias.com/sucesos/desmantelan-centro-mineri...

yep, my Circle-CI deploy fails, the following URL is not available: https://github.com/rancher/cli/releases/download/v0.6.0/ranc...

All software depending on Github repo releases downloads are down, e.g: Rancher CLI.

There is no Waze for CarPlay, Spotify works for CarPlay though.
