nilved··on Cloudflare data still in Bing caches

The benefit of CDNs is increasingly questionable, but you can still realize them by managing it yourself. What I'm saying is to never use a third-party network that subverts your own security. I would try harder to nail that point in, but I don't think Cloudflare's coffin has room for any more.

Which is precisely why you should not use an MITM network.

nilved··on Ruby `reject!`

No it wasn't, the developer probably knew exactly what they were doing.

How is that a bug? Unless sleep was a typo or something. A bug isn't related to performance, a bug is just a mistake.

A thread about workplace sexual harassment is hardly an appropriate place to plug your company.

> HR serves to protect the company, you have to think in HR's shoes. If the complainant goes away and finds another job the problem is solved.

Not if they go on to write a blog post that reaches the top of HN.

nilved··on Kirby is a file-based CMS

The last time I used WordPress (fortunately, very long ago) the most popular caching strategies were SuperCache (writes HTML files to the webroot) and Varnish (a caching reverse-proxy.) In both cases it's trivial to separate the static content from the administrative area. I don't recommend this (I don't recommend anything WordPress) but that seems like what the poster is asking for.

WordPress with a caching layer is basically that.

nilved··on Yoda Conditions

No, that's just because the example I used was Rust. In Ruby it would be `if user = User.find(..)` and the same goes for Go and plenty of other languages.

nilved··on Yoda Conditions

There's nothing wrong with using assignment in if conditions. For example, `if let Some(thing) = computation_that_may_fail { ... }`.

So it's illegal unless the state says so. Who do you think the judge's boss is?

Oh no! Not illegal!

Sorry, I call bullshit on this. I love DuckDuckGo and have used it as my default engine for over 5 years but the search results are consistently absolute garbage.

nilved··on High-Memory Instances and $5 Linodes

They were not open about it. When their ColdFusion system got hacked they didn't tell anyone until weeks after the fact.

When you search for "linode hack," Google suggests "linode hacked again." They were hacked in 2012. They were hacked in 2013. They were hacked in 2014. They were hacked in 2016. They will be hacked in 2017.

nilved··on High-Memory Instances and $5 Linodes

Can we stop ignoring the fact that Linode has been hacked several times and responded terribly in every case?

nilved··on Show HN: WebSocket-first development

WebSocket first seems to be the wrong way to go about this. How about build your app to accept stdin and stdout, then expose this as TCP, HTTP or whatever else?

RDS also comes with its own set of tradeoffs. There is no free lunch, and the cloud is just another word for someone else's server. There are reasons Gitlab opposes that.

Are you talking about AWS Lambda, or some other Lambda that is convenient? I have never seen "AWS Lambda" and "convenient" in the same sentence. Even the people who like AWS Lambda say it's complicated.

For one, I don't use GitHub.

nilved··on Vim's 25th anniversary and the release of Vim 8

Point taken in some cases, but a lot of those are misfeatures. The Lua API is not yet usable because they built a terminal emulator instead. If Vim had a terminal emulator, one would expect Neovim to remove that bloat. Not all Neovim additions are good ones.

A lot of people (including me) would consider an ecosystem off of GitHub to be a good thing.

Right, but wouldn't you prefer using one key?

nilved··on Vim's 25th anniversary and the release of Vim 8

Vim hasn't been on GitHub as long as Neovim. Check out the mailing list, Reddit, basically anywhere but HN or GitHub. Neovim is a drop in the bucket. And since Vim has taken all the best features from Neovim (in less time -- Neovim hasn't released version 1 despite being crowd-funded for several years) this is really a Node-and-io.js situation. Vim is going to absorb Neovim.
