davis··on Ask HN: Which developers do you closely follow?
Shoutout to Michael. His tenacity and discipline amazes me. He posts some great stuff on his Twitter: https://twitter.com/FogleBird
davis··on The Domain-Driven Design Paradox (2016)
Do people still recommend Eric Evans' book on DDD? Or would Vaughn Vernon or Scott Millett be better ways to learn it as of now?
davis··on Long-term stress erodes memory
Kelly McGonigal has a great book that talks about not escaping it but instead embracing it. I really recommend it. https://www.amazon.com/Upside-Stress-Why-Good-You/dp/1101982...
davis··on Long-term stress erodes memory
For those that are stressed about stress, Kelly McGonigal has some really interesting research on stress and the picture isn't quite as black and white. Depending on how the person views stress, it can benefit the person instead of harming them.

Her book: https://www.amazon.com/Upside-Stress-Why-Good-You/dp/1101982...

davis··on “Children of Men”'s vision of the future is now disturbingly familiar
Or just watch it on anything you can. I honestly don't think you can ruin this film in anyway. I used to watch it on my iPod Touch.
davis··on Turn your handwriting into a font
Thanks for sharing my post. Feel free to ask any questions.

> Are you sure? Maybe her employers allowed it.

Or maybe we can just trust her.

davis··on Jury in Oracle v. Google finds in Google's favour
If you found Sarah's coverage of the trial useful, she is accepting payments on PayPal since she was doing it with her own money: https://twitter.com/sarahjeong/status/731687243916529665

davis··on Show HN: I made a Hacker News for podcasts
I use Overcast and it works really great for this. Right now I have a bunch of episodes queued up but I still can see the latest.
davis··on D'Oh My Zsh – How I unexpectedly built a monster of an open source project
You answered your own question when you said "over time I've customized". The appeal of oh-my-zsh and others is that it removes the "over time" part of the equation.

It's meant to give you a lot of sensible (think like vim-sensible) defaults as well as the settings that make it feel more like bash yet show the awesome features of zsh.

A lot of people don't like to configure shells. omz gives them a head start and a source of inspiration into features they might not know.

davis··on Nanomsg: Stepping Down
You may think they are "worthless" but clearly some people think they they have value.

Which one do you think is more poisonous? Making a fuss over the maintainer wanting to impose one or just accepting that someone else sees value in something you don't and agreeing to the CoC.

davis··on Linux Performance Analysis
If you want more from Brendan Gregg on analyzing performance, be sure to check out his book, Systems Performance: http://smile.amazon.com/dp/0133390098
davis··on Show HN: Metabase, an open-source business intelligence tool
It's not a silly policy. Using AGPL software (without getting a commercial license) in any modified form and/or depending on it would require all applications that use it across the network to be open sourced.

Of course this requires it to be modified which could happen accidentally and completely put a closed source application in jeopardy.

davis··on Amazon Building a Tech Business for the Long Haul
It was pretty strange seeing AWS written as A.W.S. It took me a second to realize what they were talking about.
davis··on Neovim Newsletter #5 – Out of the Box
Yup. And now its off the homepage even though it should still be in the top 10.
davis··on Neovim Newsletter #5 – Out of the Box
Neovim.app isn't in Homebrew. Are you referring to its dependencies like scons, msgpack-c, or something else?

What is failing?

davis··on Show HN: vim-hackernews
That'd be awesome. Opening up a scratch buffer and then using that for the contents of the comment in the POST would work pretty well. I dig it.
davis··on Newsletter #4 – Thanksvimming Day
It was inane in this case which is what I meant as it just addd a few quantifiers for more context. I totally agree with preventing editorializing though so thanks for pointing that out.
davis··on Newsletter #4 – Thanksvimming Day
Not at the moment that fully utilize Neovim's possibilities. There are some proofs of concepts/rough projects though: https://github.com/neovim/neovim/wiki/Related-projects#gui-p...
davis··on Newsletter #4 – Thanksvimming Day
That was the originally submitted title by Spiritus until a HN mod changed it due to inane policy that the title of the submission must match the title of the webpage.
davis··on Microsoft Azure Outage
Yes.
davis··on ChartSQL: Create Charts and Dashboards from SQL
Any reason for the selection of GPL3 for the license?
davis··on New AWS Directory Service
I can't tell if you are joking about the fact that Microsoft had support for their proprietary solution, Active Directory, in their cloud before Amazon...
davis··on Remove Ex-Mode from Neovim
It is trying to refactor Vim and update it. If those sources are all too "hand-wavey", here's the consolidated feed for the development in the last months: http://neovim.org/news/archive/
davis··on Remove Ex-Mode from Neovim
@@ re-runs the last macro.
davis··on Introducing //TODO for companies that are committed to open source
At this point, that might be more useful than what it currently is...
davis··on Issue #3 – Better Late Than Never
It used to have Neovim in the title... I'm not quite sure why a mod would remove that.
davis··on iPhone 6
That's an awesome idea. Good luck to you!
davis··on Issue #3 – Better Late Than Never
aktau (commented below), Justin Keyes, and obviously Thiago are certainly driving a ton of the development. The amount of time they put into the Issue tracker and coding blows me away. It's all really impressive and they definitely have set the tone for the project.
