tbarbuglion San Diego Declares Health Emergency Amid Hepatitis A Outbreak

FYI there is a cure for HepC nowadays that actually works, if it did not cost >10k we could probably get rid of HepC for good.

how much money is that?

tbarbuglion Taking control of all .io domains with a targeted registration

Not the first time .io TLD messes things pretty bad. A few months ago they had a couple of name servers poisoning internet with false negatives, that made a few hours very "interesting"

tbarbuglion Coveralls bug shows random commit messages

Anyone can recommend a similar service that plugs and play nicely with TravisCI/Github?

tbarbuglion Google Site Search will be completely shut down by April 1, 2018

Google owns this and they are giving it up, why? My guess is they dont make enough money this way (with search as a service). That is probably just a long term concern but an important one.

tbarbuglion Reflecting on one very, very strange year at Uber

I am removing Uber app from my phone forever. I guess HR did not do a great job there.

tbarbuglion Ask HN: Thinking of moving to Europe from USA

I would not suggest Germany or (german) Switzerland to people that don't speak german.

tbarbuglion Bose Hearphones

Not going to be awkward at all!

tbarbuglion AWS Shield – Managed DDoS Protection

I am surprised to hear someone saying anything positive about Hetzner. My only experience with them was a nightmare with terrible support and very inconsistent network performance.

tbarbuglion Let's Colonize Titan

I would imagine that shielding a ship be easier than shielding an entire colony (unless of course one accepts the underground colony approach)

tbarbuglion Brew commands send data to Google Analytics

Sounds quite reasonable to me when you read it: https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/blob/master/docs/Analytics....

tbarbuglion Ask HN: How do manage external dependencies with Golang?

I am not really sold on the master should be stable, major releases should be on different URLs. Installing stuff directly from github.com someone's master branch sounds like an easy way to get random SIGSEGV and similar hard to debug issues.

tbarbuglion Seven years of Go

Go is really getting to a point that is not just the new cool thing in town, but a language that makes sense to use in production.

tbarbuglion ZType – typing game

I actually had some fun. I love how the shooting sound adapts to your typing!

tbarbuglion Ask HN: Should I begin a porn industry related startup?

From a career perspective I don't think this is the best move ever. I am pretty sure a good amount of people won't like to see that in your resume (eg. next job, funding your next start-up, ..).

tbarbuglion How to contribute to an open source project on GitHub

I would add "Make sure the maintainer of the repo will merge (or even look at) your PRs". I more than once had very reasonable PRs (bugfixes) waiting to be merged forever.

tbarbuglion Why 2016 is such a terrible year for the Mac

I wonder what's the energy cost introduced by having 16 extra GB of RAM. Is that a space issue (more RAM = less space for batteries) or a power consumption?

tbarbuglion Show HN: Alienslike.us – Vote on what an alien society might be like

what's the purpose of this exactly? I kept clicking a the gauge chart changed all the time but showed no insight on what was going on

tbarbuglion Jinja live parser

Is the source code available anywhere? I could actually use this myself. FYI Jinja2 is really powerful and allows you to use lot of stuff from Python (eg. execute heavy math operations, allocate lot of memory, iterate forever...)

Eg. if you paste {% for i in range(10000000000) %}{% endfor %} and press Convert tens of times it will take down your site.
