bjohnso5on Why AWS loves Rust, and how we’d like to help

I think the parent commenter meant as a selectable runtime at deployment time (i.e. directly supported), rather than requiring the bring-your-own-runtime setup that is currently required.

bjohnso5on Home 3D metal printing: first results

Definitely blocked in my office.

bjohnso5on Show HN: My new SaaS side-project, after years of open source

Your subheading text "Build and publish instantly your projects online" reads a little strangely to me. I'd recommend re-wording that to "Build and instantly publish your projects online".

Looks neat, though!

I feel like it was created just to make this sentence possible. Love it!

bjohnso5on Open-sourcing Teletraan, a code deployment system

Thanks, appreciate the updated link

bjohnso5on Open-sourcing Teletraan, a code deployment system

Title is a bit misleading, should be more like "Pinterest announces intent to open-source Teletraan, a tool for code deployments"

EDIT: Xeroday helpfully pointed out that there IS a link to code in another blog post in the same series.

bjohnso5on Show HN: I'm a 14 year-old dev who has programmed an artificial intelligence bot

Last year Sean Le Van said he was 13, this year he's 14. Which is it, Sean?!

bjohnso5on SolidOak, an IDE written in Rust

I think that's debatable... with the currently humongous list of available plugins and it's project-focused interface, I don't think it's much of a stretch at this point to identify it as a lightweight IDE.

bjohnso5on Ticketmaster Ticketfast Barcode Format

I think it's generally abbreviated that way because it's phrased "Shit Outta Luck"

On the landing page, bottom right: "A parody of simulation games for geeks".

bjohnso5on Show HN: TripExpert – Professional Hotel Reviews

Interesting... my corporate firewall flags your site with an adult-and-pornography filter. Did you recently purchase the domain from someone who may have been running a different type of site? :)

WebStorm is a solid javascript IDE, I recommend giving the trial a shot.

bjohnso5on Programming Language Breakdown for the HealthCare.gov Website

In what way is Maven a programming language? Is it simply to disambiguate other XML configuration from the build declarations?

bjohnso5on Handling CORS with Nginx

Quick suggestion: rather than having your headers return 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' '*';, you're better off echoing the requesting domain back, so that in the future you'll be able to maintain a whitelist of registered domains. Prevents usage from any-old-domain (though I realize you have authorization already built into some parts of your API).

I'm probably an awful person, but I laughed out loud when I saw this config key: DISENABLE_REGISTERATION

bjohnso5on How to be an open source gardener

I also read it thinking someone had open-sourced some gardening tips or planting layouts. Whoops.

bjohnso5on Why is speed at sea measured in knots?

Check out Black Sails, there's a scene in one of the later episodes of the season that portrays the measurement of speed using the chip board and knotted rope. The term "knot" immediately clicked for me when I saw that.
