Focusing prematurely on scaling and replication is the exact opposite of "focusing on your core business". The only thing that I always recommend in terms of databases is having a backup system in place. When need be and you're one of those 1% that needs scaling, aws, google and azure are there for a warm welcome.

I have a postgres instance doing 3k/qps on a single core server without braking a sweat and at 9-10% cpu. Databases are underrated.

Why is everyone concerned with scaling databases and clustering before even launching?

It's great but not becoming the de-facto. I believe Gatsby is on that path, in terms of popularity they seem to be ahead.

You only need a threat to introduce any kind of "safety measures". This is a trend that is done by governments all over the world as an excuse to enter and take, do surveillance and monitor all kinds of activities. It's no surprise that they always put safety in front of measures designed to align with their marketing agenda. The masses will agree unfortunately and blindly subscribe.

I'm still waiting for them to find a "safety-first" reason to ban adblock from the store.

There was a story on the fp 2 months ago by someone who went to an interview at Google to present her work (didn't work out) only to find out that a patent was later filed by Google covering much of the presented material.

Reminds me of the McGreggor vs Khabib fight - "it's only business"

Sure, here's a few, personal opinions:

- Some programmers don't like functional programming (I'm not one of them)

- Go has static typing and I find it really cuts away bugs

- Go is backed by giants and has the horse power to push forward regardless of "Github stars"

- Go is easy to compile and run on most/many platforms

- I find myself more able to understand third party code

As a web developer, would I use Go as opposed to Phoenix/Elixir? Yes, I am actually using it in production on a fairly big project [1]. I tried Phoenix and I found it "weird" for my liking. The authentication part of a web app was a real deal-braker for me = too complicated to implement (not bad, just too complicated).

I'm the type of guy that brainstorms (90% of my projects are always "close to completion" though) a lot of ideas and wants to go up and running really fast. I can't do that with Python/Elixir/Ruby without many tests written because I don't trust the code/myself all that much.

Where would I use Elixir/Phoenix:

- a chat/support app or anything that relies heavily on websockets

- real-time apps (related to first point)

- apps that rely heavily on distributed tasks

Switched my father-in-law to ubuntu 10 years ago and I basically ended all his "support" calls to me :). He was constantly getting malware from all sorts of banners and popups while playing chess and rummy online. That, coupled with some good extensions such as mining block + uBlock + Disconnect changed the whole deal in an hour.

He's 76 now so yes, linux is a very good option for them.

I'm renting houses/apartments on AirBNB and place cameras outside the homes (to watch who's in front of the entrance door, activity). Placing them inside the home is a real privacy concern - a zone that I would never even consider.

The reason for the cameras outside is to watch closely how many people enter as we're constantly fighting prostitution which leads to a pain with neighbors and other stuff.

In the same boat. I think you can do something with API Gateway + API Marketplace but I would LOVE a plugin to Kong or any other OS software...even if it would support just one gateway.

$500 for Apigee makes it untouchable for small startups. Another one worth looking into might be at IBM bluemix.

I really enjoy Kelsey on all his talks. The most laid-back and funny presenter. All my initial Kubernetes knowledge was drawn from his lectures.

Same stuff basically minus the cannabis. Honest question: did you check your hormone levels? Especially the testosterone and thyroid? I was browsing youtube couple of months ago when I came across this podcast [1] and everything that this guy talked about seemed like it was everything that I'm experiencing.

I went ahead and checked my hormones. Sure enough I'm low on testosterone with a measure of 3.2 where the lower limit is 9.6 with the upper of 23 so I'm just 30%~ of the lower limit. It may be a long shot but the chemistry checks out and I will give it a try.

P.S. Just read your bio so testosterone might be out of the question, still...check your hormones :)

I'll be launching Qards very soon. No servers, no databases, free, fast and modern.

I like that material design. Can you share the tech stack it was built with?

I chose gcloud for the easier admin interface. I somehow manage to separate all my resources and look at them based on project groups without having to know cryptic instance ids of 32 chars. Oh, and they had Kubernetes first and I jumped into that boat early.

Your comment adds nothing to this discussion. Soros was NOT mentioned in this post or thread.

So you're screening our messages with the seller? I'm not sure I'm comfortable using this service.

No offence but seems like a complete ripoff of their homepage design: https://i.imgur.com/O1bGpvP.png

My project (https://qards.io) was #2 on ProductHunt last Saturday and I can say I have some knowledge of Gatsby. The community is very, very vibrant and I'm surprised with the number of plugins they have.

The maintainers are very active and responsive and the project itself does many things...just right.

Monaco is maintained by a single guy from my understanding: https://github.com/Microsoft/monaco-editor/graphs/contributo...

It just shows many contributors but looking at code commits and general activity (maintainers) in issues only Alexandru Dima comes out.

Good game, VERY complex. I play it on and off since 2004 but I can't do it for more than a few days/year. It's incredibly slow paced and full of politics.

This pushes the acceptance much further.

"It's ok to do this. Look! Everybody does it. Why are you always so paranoid? If you have nothing to hide why are you fighting it?!"

You make it sound like that would have been a good thing. Why?

I was expecting something a little more...technical. Awesome! I really laughed at this.

Any docs on the new ingress and kubernetes plugin? All I find is kube-lego which is quite old already.

Still condescending if you ask me. Be constructive, his work is free and nobody forces you to use it. If your goal was to help the guy...you failed; "that had to be a challenge, but you did it".

2 things chrome still has above ff for me:

- NO bar above the tabs - I CAN double-click to select independent word in url

Would love to be able to meditate. My brain just goes all over the place and it feels like I'm wasting my time.

Overturning so many regimes in petrol filled countries is a messy business. I think a big chunk of the spending goes to intelligence and misinformation.
