could you share a bit more? Why were you banned? What did they not approve of. As someone who's considered YC, it would be great to know some of this

Congratulations Matt! How did you arrive at the threshold for working on this full-time? Are you sharing ARR/MRR values at this time?

now the ultimate problem: How to share the key (password)

can't wait for the day I'll leave work, get into a self-driving car, watch a movie, have it stop for takeout, sleep as it drives me across the country and then wake up in the morning on the other side of the country ready to start my day. Rooting for Waymo!

You'll be surprised - that's all I'll say about that

I think I'll stick to trusting duplicati. I love apple but it's already simple enough to use duplicati, an open source client, to incrementally backup to multiple destinations at pre-defined intervals.

Plus you can't always trust such a huge business 100%. What'll happen when you're locked out of your apple account? Yeah, no backup!

For CS math, I'd recommend MIT's 6.042 https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/6-042j-mathematics-for-computer-...

They have a book on the course website that's pretty good

agree. Thanks for changing my perspective

can someone share the pdf here for folks who don't wanna share their email?

how is this different from apache beam? also, any orgs using this at scale?

As someone who got both degrees from a pretty prestigious US university, this was my reasoning too. I haven't worked a day in Civil Eng since graduation and I don't regret it one bit

thanks dang! Love this

refreshing to see a port to a language other than rust for a change. Not saying that rust isn't a good language, just good to see some diversity

very impressive to have such fundamental contributions at such an early age. To even know it's applicability to modern day cryptography is also really impressive. All the best to Daniel Larsen!

Just got this too and I love it so far

Google App Engine has so many problems and is also underinvested in at Google in my opinion.

We used it earlier on in a startup we were working on and had so many issues that I would never recommend it to anyone.

You'll be much better off using GKE or some other kubernetes variant

this is what I thought too. I've enjoyed working with helm and totally recommend it but was wondering if I'd missed something. A templating language and not an actual programming language seems to be the right balance for config

anyone using this for kubernetes config generation? What's been your experience?

Had the same exact experience! Just posted a comment. I think could companies have done a good job marketing how cheap it is to get started on cloud. Once things scale, the bills change and it's no longer as cheap to use managed infra.

The night and day difference is hard to explain when people haven't had to deal with all these issues on top of scaling, uptime, performance issues etc. I just can't recommend k8s enough

As a startup founder that's not VC funded, I would totally recommend you look into building with kubernetes from the get go. The biggest learning curve is for the person setting up the initial deployments, services, ingress etc Most other team members may just need to maybe change the image name and kubectl apply to roll things out. Knowing that rollouts won't bring down prod and that they can be tested in different environments consistently is really valuable.

I started out with Iaas namely Google App Engine and we suffered a ton with huge bills especially from our managed db instance. Once the costs were too high we moved to VMs. Doing deployments was fine but complicated enough that only seasoned team members could do it safely. We needed to build a lot of checks, monitoring etc to do this safely. A bunch of random scripts existed to set things up and migrating base operating system etc required a ton of time. Moving to kubernetes was a breath of fresh air and I wish we'd done it earlier. We now have an easy repeatable process . Infra is easier to understand. Rollouts are safer and honestly, the system is safer too. We know exactly what ports can allow ingress, what service boundaries exist. What cronjobs are configured, their state etc with simple kubectl commands.

Using kubernetes forces you to write configurable code and is very similar to testing: it sounds like it'll slow you down and shouldn't be invested in until the codebase is at a certain size but we've all learned from experience how is actually speeds everything up, makes larger changes faster, cheaper customer support and saves you from explaining why a certain feature has been broken for 10 without anyone's knowledge

What does migrating into Saas mean? Those are two different concepts

I'm with you on this. The world can still house a lot more people and we should stop being worried about the current population.

In terms of energy, nuclear. In terms of food, there are still large swaths of un-farmed areas. We can farm these and still maintain natural parks and not destroy the environment. Opening up immigration will solve labor issues.

We have the technology, we just have to distribute it to easily quadruple the carrying capacity of the earth

Lol. But kinda true. Some of those cities have been hostile and openly racist to Africans and hence most Africans would find cities in Africa a lot more livable compared to the racist mess around the world notably in Europe, Asia and North America.

Let's all pretend that the experience is the same for everyone, if you're not white, you know this is not necessarily true for you

+1 having gone through the US immigration system, it doesn't quite work as a reasonable immigrant would think. Before you move, make sure to talk to a US immigration lawyer. The process will be long and painful unless she's moving to a university or for a religious job where some exceptions apply.

You might find yourself in a spot where you're not allowed to work, even for European clients legally

Really cool idea. Unfortunately I can't try it because app crashes for me. I'm guessing it's because of the HN crowd

hashing and salting wouldn't really have helped in this situation

I had no ideas state senators could hold an additional job. Good work!

First thought on my mind: some nation state actors (or similar) are gonna really code in some vulnerabilities to be able to own pypi

I'm a systems engineer but I've never done low level optimizations on drives. How does one even go about even testing something like this? It sounds like something cool that I'd like to be able to do

Isn't it suspicious that the losses conveniently happened in Africa and Latin America which contribute to a smallest share of their revenue
