advanderveer··on Proposal: Add bare metal support to Go
I would be interested in this if it enabled deterministic simulation testing for the Go programming languages. There have been some efforts in this area but with little success.
advanderveer··on Ask HN: Struggling to Understand DHTs – Any Good Resources?
So cool to read this, it is how i started!
advanderveer··on Shadcn: Components that you can copy-paste into your apps
Maybe something like: Flowbite, or Tailwind UI? Both mostly paid but I think the value is pretty good for what you get.
advanderveer··on Show HN: Depot – fast, remote Docker container builds
Hey Kyle and Jacob. Congratulations on launching this and I was really excited because we were looking for something just like this. But as it stands this would be too expensive for our organization. We have a bunch of small (micro?) services and having to pay 25$ for each seems too excessive.

But maybe I'm misunderstanding the pricing?

advanderveer··on Ask HN: How to view UI changes before & after a pull request?
I can second the effectiveness of Chromatic, essential for us at crewlinker.com. We have over 80 components with 281 stories, all being checked for visual regressions on every PR. It is also surprisingly effective of just catching regular errors that occur because some rendering logic may indeed result in the app crashing.
advanderveer··on Dutch antitrust authority fines Apple for fifth time
In today's a world of hyper globalisation is any nation still truly independent?
advanderveer··on Dutch antitrust authority fines Apple for fifth time
No, we are a sovereign nation. We've build it over hundreds of years into a place of great stability. Apple is only a corporation that has been around for ~60 years.
advanderveer··on EarthDAO – We are buying the Earth
A more realistic project that I am a big fan of is: https://www.klimadao.finance They use a community build treasury to buy carbon credits to increase their value to make it more profitable for solar/wind companies to produce them.
advanderveer··on I recorded vlogs to show how I built side projects
The funny thing is, I love to setup a backend and AWS environment and then get stuck on building an UI (dreading anything js related). I guess that why we should find others to collaborate with :)
advanderveer··on Ask HN: Where do you find software development freelance work?
Thank you, that's super usefull.

We would love to hear from you!

advanderveer··on Nerdalize schedules work on CPUs to heat homes
It was super cool to present our company at KubeCon, we got loads of good questions and positive feedback! I work for Nerdalize, if you have any questions feel free to ask me. The video of our talk can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8MFm2jwXpA

advanderveer··on The Super Secret Cloudflare Master Plan, or Why We Acquired Neumob
Sounds scary, a device to device worldwide network controlled by one organization?
advanderveer··on Elm in Production: 25K Lines Later
What an excellent article: from tech to business, from the human aspect to practical code examples. Worth a read, even if you're not considering Elm.
advanderveer··on Why is cycling so popular in the Netherlands?
I ment 10km each way, 20km each way would feel excessive to me as well. For those cases (in dutch rural areas) there would almost always be some kind of bus service to take kids.
advanderveer··on Why is cycling so popular in the Netherlands?
what would be the kind of distance you're talking about? When growing up in the Netherlands it was common for kids from my town to cycle 20 km every day going to school.
advanderveer··on Introduction to High-Performance Scientific Computing
At Nerdalize we're building a cloud that's specifally build for high performance scientific compute: http://www.nerdalize.com/cloud/
advanderveer··on GitKraken 1.0 released
WARNING: It will send the email address taken from your git user.email to their servers right on the openings screen
advanderveer··on LARS: A Fast Zero Allocation HTTP Router for Go
Although there are indeed many routers already I think you found a pretty cool balance!
advanderveer··on Package managers should be immutable, distributed and decentralized
An example would be "https://github.com/whyrusleeping/gx", a Go package manager build on IPFS
advanderveer··on Go channels are bad
I see channels as an architectural option when it comes to structuring the communication between components of my software. Mutexes are another option that are more effective in situations where multiple threads may access the interface of a single structure. E.g I use channels to distribute os.Signals througout my software and a mutex for making a "context" structure thread safe. Right tool for the right job
advanderveer··on Vulkan is Here
Would it be worthwhile to write a Golang API on top of such a low level implementation or would that just negate the reason it exists in the first place?
advanderveer··on Neon: Node plus Rust
Would this allow Rust to be run on AWS Lambda?
advanderveer··on The Container Ship Tourism Industry
Does it support Docker?
advanderveer··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (August 2015)
Nerdalize | Software Engineer | Full Time | on-site, Delft Netherlands (See http://www.nerdalize.com/careers/ for more postings)

Nerdalize needs more nerds! We are a skilful and informal bunch of people that highly respect craftsmanship and we are therefore looking for a competent Linux GNU/Linux software- and system engineer to join our team in Delft full time.

Taking a radically novel approach to building cloud infrastructure, you are not afraid to face unique challenges in networking, storage and distributed systems. You have an opinion on how you want to solve such technical problems, but are not afraid to admit you were wrong yesterday. So were we. Really.

You want to automate everything, because you understand it is mandatory for keeping steady pace in development. You like to use modern tools like Ansible, Docker and Go, but also understand when Python and Bash serve you best. You are thrilled to experiment with new technologies like Rancher, Kubernetes, Vault, Consul and are confused or mildly upset that we failed to mention technology X here (come explain!).

If you can put checkmarks all over this list, get in touch:

- You are not allergic to champagne and confetti

advanderveer··on Ask HN: Does anyone else feel stupid reading Hacker News?
“The ancient oracle said that I was the wisest of all the Greeks. It is because I alone, of all the Greeks, know that I know nothing." (political phun not intended)
advanderveer··on Show HN: StableLib, an LTS distribution of Go packages
Awesome! Is there a way of proposing packages? I for one would love to see the following be included:

- github.com/hashicorp/errwrap - github.com/mattn/go-issatty - a file system notification lib (fsnotify, timeglass/snow etc)

advanderveer··on Safari is the new IE
Here is an unpopular opinion: Maybe we should chill down on the constant innovation of "the web". I think we are at the point that we need some stablity, such that technologies (and companies!) build on top of it get some time to focus on maintainability, safety and usability instead of having to constantly spend time playing catch up.
advanderveer··on RunC – A lightweight universal runtime container, by the Open Container Project
Runc is the neutral implementation of the new open container standard that was created with the Appc guys at the table. Although not stated explicitely, the open standard will most probably supersede the appc spec
