karlkeefer··on Show HN: PNGR – Docker-compose for a Postgres-Nginx-Golang-React stack
Thanks - will update the prod recipe.

I saved hundreds of MB on the front-end images switching to alpine so I want a little alpine crazy :)

Thanks for linking this. Will implement.

Also like the "tags" within the dockerfile for dev and prod - much cleaner than the multi-file solution currently in the repo.

Thanks!

I actually made this over a year ago, and just this week updated all the deps in order to make it public.

There were thankfully few breaking changes, though I did burn like an hour debugging a weird dependency that wasn't compatible with golang 1.13 modules. So it goes!

So I guess only a slight PITA so far haha

The purpose of this project was to get a docker-compose setup with good developer ergonomics.

Basically you should just be able to `docker-compose up` and start hacking at front-end or back-end code and have hot reloading of both _just work_.

I aimed to keep things pretty minimal. With some effort you can swap Redux for Unstated, pick a different component library, swap my api router for gorilla mux, whatever you want.

Happy to make changes based on feedback. I'm _sure_ this could be improved with more eyes on it.

Enjoy :)

karlkeefer··on A blockchain is a specific set of choices suitable for a narrow set of use-cases
Successfully trading value with an anonymous third party over the internet, without fear if them renegging, seems to be all that's required to demonstrate this.

Before bitcoin this wasn't possible without trust in a third party, as far as I'm aware.

No paper needed.

karlkeefer··on Ripple fully funded every live DonorsChoose classroom project yesterday
Several private schools I know in west coast burbs get by on <$10k and actually have higher staff ratios and more autistic kids than standard schools (many parents need the refuge because the public schools are especially ill-suited to the needs of many families with kids on the spectrum).

The point, though, is that there is an incredible amount of bloat in the public system. Funding amounts themselves are not a primary problem, though perhaps allocation of funding is!

Perhaps it is due to "family costs" being carried disproportionately by women.

Leaving early to pick up kids, staying home when kids are sick, etc. Even though typical gender roles are becoming less typical, they may still result in differential output from the perspective of an employer.

Thomas Sowell (a while ago) showed a dramatic difference in salary between all women, and women who had never married, suggesting that a huge component of the pay gap was due to household and family expectations.

I imagine there is more recent research on this exact theory, but I'm not aware of it.

5 kyu checking in. The client is terrible and old, but the community on KGS go server is unparalleled. Highly recommend giving it a shot - very high level players will often provide commentary to help you improve.
karlkeefer··on Told reading tests are a game, boys score higher
Praise from teachers. Other visible signals, like reading voluntarily, showing interest in challenging work, etc. I agree that bragging isn't really part of being a nerd.

You need to get yourself a Schwab Investor Checking account - no ATM fees and only 1% for foreign exchange. I travel a lot and this has saved me bundles.
