anonfunction··on Show HN: ProfilingViewer now with Callgraph
Looks useful, would love support for Golang!
anonfunction··on Skylake now GA on GCE
Any idea when these will be available for GKE users? I would love to spin up a node pool to compare but it seems unavailable:

  $ gcloud container node-pools create skylake --cluster montana --image-type gci --machine-type n1-standard-4 --zone us-central1-b --min-cpu-platform "Intel Skylake"
  ERROR: (gcloud.container.node-pools.create) unrecognized 
  arguments:
    --min-cpu-platform
    Intel Skylake

anonfunction··on Show HN: Early-stage Yahoo Pipes spiritual successor
I used to use yahoo pipes for a few twitter bots I had. There was an rss to twitter webapp that I hooked up and it was fully automated for years before it stopped working.

I didn't see the thin red circle on the right, which I now understand to be the output. I almost gave up before realizing my mistake.

anonfunction··on The State of Go – Where we are in May 2017
> That's a single project, and one of the 2 adoption stories circulating in 2012/3, 4+ years ago (the other was a MySQL load balancer for YouTube or such).

The parent comment was asking about projects so I presented one that sprung to mind.

> Even downloads is not some "huge port" -- the presentation mentions "14,032" lines.

Yes, it mentions "39 files (14,032 lines) deleted" which is not small in my mind. Not to mention they heavily leveraged the standard library and some other projects like groupcache.

Here's the email sprig CEO Gagan Biyani sent out today:

anonfunction··on The State of Go – Where we are in May 2017
Downloads are powered by Go, which was a huge port from C++.

anonfunction··on Show HN: Simple iOS App Turn Live Photo to GIF
Is it in the app store?
anonfunction··on Show HN: Rebase-editor, a simple CLI app specifically for Git interactive rebase
Cross compiling is very easy since Go 1.5, just add some environment variables before running `go build`, which can be put in a Makefile.

Distribution is a little trickier since there is no package manager ala npm, however it's a little easier in that you don't need anything except for the binary. For people who have Go installed they just `go get REPO` and it's installed, for others they can just wget the binary into their bin.

You should give Golang a shot. It checks all your requirements.
anonfunction··on ASK HN: How can an okay developer become a great developer?
Write more code. Scratch your own itches. Make small projects that you throw-away or rewrite every so often just for fun. When you get stuck, really try learn why that stack overflow answer works instead of just copy pasting it in. Experiment with different languages and approaches to solving problems.
anonfunction··on Leaked Snapchat emails: Anti-gun group told to pay or NRA ads may appear
As soon as the head of political sales found out about the editorial he stated:

> We are also talking to the NRA about running ads within the story.

Later in the article it says that the NRA advertised on Snapchat in 2015, have they since? Or was it that now we will contacting the NRA to tell them it's a good idea to advertise during your editorial.

Seeing the comments it looks like the majority doesn't see a problem with this because the NRA is free to do advertising. To me it's just bad business to be featuring a good cause as a so-called partner and then extorting them like this. It certainly also seems like that would be a negative experience for the viewers and the partner.

In the end Snapchat lost both an editorial partner with a group that resonates with their target demographics and any potential advertising revenue from the event.

anonfunction··on Leaked Snapchat emails: Anti-gun group told to pay or NRA ads may appear
It is telling that they declined both the free editorial and any advertising.
anonfunction··on Show HN: NinjaMock – free wireframing tool
This is very impressive, it reminds of me balsamiq but is super convenient because it's browser based and free.
anonfunction··on Reflecting on one very, very strange year at Uber
I've always heard HR works for the company's interest first and foremost. Go to a lawyer first and have them communicate with the C-level execs. Although Uber sounds like it has a pretty toxic culture all the way up.
anonfunction··on Why Do Americans Refrigerate Their Eggs?
Try peeling it under water or with flowing water on the egg. It makes the shell / skin peel off super good for me and doesn't cool the inside of the egg down either.
anonfunction··on Ask HN: How should I teach code to kids?
I think it would be better to teach kids to code. I would start with a project that makes sense to them, probably a simple game or animation. Learning the code, syntax, etc.. would be boring IMO but getting hands on might make them appreciate it and potentially become hooked.
anonfunction··on TensorFlow 1.0 Released

anonfunction··on Show HN: jmc – a new open-source macOS media organizer
Looks nice, I only wish it was for photos and videos as well.
anonfunction··on Monitor web page changes with Go
I would also add retries to the list (https://github.com/sethgrid/pester)

anonfunction··on Ask HN: Using React with Golang? and does it make sense?
You don't need Node.js to be running as a server to use React. Most people would use it to build their react app which would be served as static file(s) and communicate with some backend APIs. The backend API could be written in Golang. It would serve data which React would render in the browser or take requests for actions such as logging in, adding a comment to the database, etc...
anonfunction··on Why Databases Are Not for Docker Containers
They were known as PetSets beforehand.

anonfunction··on GitLab Database Incident – Live Report
You don't have a production ready backup system until you've used it.
anonfunction··on Why we should all have a basic income
That's a really interesting thought. I could imagine the rate of innovation would speed up quite a lot.
anonfunction··on Why we should all have a basic income
With that logic all taxes and social policies are theft.
anonfunction··on Go vs. Swift [pdf]
I'm not who you're replying to but I was looking for some way to convert it to an html page. It's unfortunate that the only readable copy is the pdf since it cuts the code examples and renders poorly on my laptop.
anonfunction··on Show HN: Maputnik – a visual style editor for maps
This looks very similar to https://www.mapbox.com/mapbox-studio/
anonfunction··on Ask HN: Dual monitors, or single 4k?
Nope not at all, in some cases I would say it's better. I use multiple monitors but prefer each monitor in full-screen mode. That allows me to use tmux on my main monitor and slack or a browser on another. When I'm writing code on my laptop alone I just have one open at a time, which in some ways is more immersive and allows me to focus on one thing. It's usually at home alone with no other distractions so that is also a factor.
