sairamkunala··on Ask HN: Is it worth investing in learning Rust?
Both are great languages.

I learned Golang about 2 years ago and have done a small web app in it to understand and learn about the libraries.

I recently started reading the Rust book and its an eye opener. Its important to understand how the language is designed and with Rust, its different concepts compared to Go. I would suggest to read the documentations/manifestos of both the languages and decide to go ahead based on what you want to do.

Community and ecosystem is an important requirement when choosing a language.

sairamkunala··on GitHub is down
Gitea is a community fork of the popular self-hosted Git service Gogs. We’re a growing group of former Gogs users and contributors who found the single-maintainer management model of Gogs frustrating and thus decided to make an effort to build a more open and faster development model.

This happened not before trying to convince @Unknwon about giving write permissions to more people, among the community. He rightly considered Gogs his own creature and didn’t want to let it grow outside of him, thus a fork was necessary in order to set that code effectively free.

sairamkunala··on Show HN: Castor, a live dashboard for your projects
dashing is a pretty stable product. Its like a simple framework you can customise anything you need in it. We used it in our team to serve alarm metrics till it was deprecated in favour of Grafana.

Grafana is a push model, while Dashing is a pull model.

Grafana is pretty tough on RAM and svg usage. Try to use pngs and the UI is harder to adopt.

sairamkunala··on Pricing Comparison: Cloud Hosts
In general, Linode and DigitalOcean have been very competitive in terms of customer satisfaction for VPS.

In this case, Linode offers only 125 Mbps which could be less compared to other cloud providers.

From what I have seen in the startup world around me, small sized companies use AWS/Google/Azure for production systems and tend to use DigitalOcean/Linode for staging / developer environments given they manage their own Devops.

sairamkunala··on Ask HN: As a developer, how can I take advantage of time spent driving to work?
I know a group of colleagues who used to car pool and discuss about IT related topics from their previous experiences.

A group of 3-4 like minded people on a conference call would be a good way to share topics about what you know and learn from others.

This may work best while in cars (as opposed to when using public transit)
