Hibiki [..] lets you create [..] frontend applications without JavaScript

Yet the website is a blank white page, without JavaScript.

Of course a blockchain doesn't magically fix anything, it's a distributed log. But a decentralized distributed log is a great building block for something that isn't owned by FAANG.

BitTorrent is wonderful for sharing information, but it's not really a platform to build on. Something like Ethereum on the other hand is literally a decentralized computer that no single entity controls. The blockchain part enables this.

Blockchains are good when there's a lack of trust and decentralization is absolutely necessary. There are very few problems that actually need a blockchain.

How about the current status quo of the Internet? Do you think being mined, sold, and endlessly tracked is OK?

Another day, another negative-sentiment crypto post on HN. We get it.

I'm all for being creative but consider putting positive energy out into the world.

Maybe first try rendering literally anything when javascript is disabled. Then worry about adding GIFs.

Art school graduate here, and my only advice is to broaden your sights and keep trying (if you want to). I've interviewed with FAANG too many times to count and every time it's crashed and burned on the comp-sci quizzes. Fuck em, keep looking. You'll eventually find a team that doesn't demand solving riddles that aren't applicable to your day-to-day CRUD. Take these jobs and you'll quite possibly learn the skillsets, or meet enough people, to get into the Big Co's without the riddles. It worked for me.

I feel like I have PTSD from Google and Amazon interviews early in my career.

I get a blank page in Firefox with JavaScript turned off :(

  Content Security Policy: The page’s settings blocked the loading of a resource at inline (“script-src”).
  Loading failed for the <script> with source “https://you.com/cdn-cgi/scripts/7d0fa10a/cloudflare-static/rocket-loader.min.js”.

Welp, tried atleast 7 times to watch this without a Facebook account. Made it about 2 minutes each time before being redirected to a login page.

Many of these pages look to me like he was designing a game.

- p2p, client-server notes

- Class definitions and implementation notes

- Source code doing position calculations

I believe the data quality of such a library could be improved incrementally through enrichment, labeling, ETL, etc. Treat it like a garden.

I would like to see NASs allow me to basically allocate a percentage of my capacity to various peers to store encrypted-at-rest duplicates of their data

This is something I've been thinking about, too. We have so many Internet-connected devices with increasingly cheap storage-- Some universal protocol for distributing data across this network would be really cool. (I understand this could sound like blockchain. I have no horse in that race.)

This got me thinking about personal data storage. I think step 1 in owning our data is having a place to store it. That storage should be abstracted from the actual provider(s) so we can migrate and/or replicate our data. It should also be available from multiple devices. A personal data warehouse like this should be easy to create, a la 'deploy to heroku'.

It's shocking to me how few people I've met take their personal data storage seriously. Most folks I know treat Dropbox/Drive like a landfill.

Sounds great but at this point I've been burned by Google EOLing products that I use too many times.

I can imagine this tech being using in some pretty interesting/scary ways:

* Generating avatars in Facebook's VR land from photos you're tagged in

* Recognizing a person IRL from photos they're tagged in

I'd recommend learning a few, here's my 2 cents:

- Start with Python, it's a very common dynamic language in the wild.

- From Python it's easy to learn Go and you'll want some Go experience if you want to work on distributed systems in today's culture.

- Javascript is another extremely useful one to know that you'll find everywhere, start with the book "Javascript the good parts".

Adding these in addition to your Java base would make you very well rounded, IMO.

In my 5-6 years of professional experience (startups and enterprise, full stack to infrastructure) I've never encountered Kotlin/Elixir/Haskell/Swift.

I'll offer a slightly different take--

I've worked from home full-time for about 1.5 years, coming from the standard open floor-plan tech company office. I live in a 1 bedroom apartment in the city so I don't have a dedicated office. Instead I work from my desk in the living room, the couch in the living room, a makeshift standing desk in the living room, or the coffee shop around the corner.

My quality of work and productivity is as good or better and I work less hours than before. You don't need an elaborate home office or expensive furniture, just a good work ethic.

Is there a default, or standard TTL for this type of certificate?

EDIT: Looks like the standard TTL for these code signing certificates is none, 1, 2, or 3 years.

A driver signed with any certificate that expires after July 29th, 2015, without time stamping, will work on Windows 10 until the certificate expires.

Context: I've been programming in Go full-time for the last 2 years and come from a Python and C# background.

  > No Generics

  > Error handling

  > gofmt

  > go test

  > dep / dependency stability

I more or less use the same targets, with one more that I've been using for the past couple years:

- make dev: stops, builds, and runs the code locally in a Docker container.

I'll bite; Belltown has barely any bodegas and no grocery stores. The closest grocery store is Whole Foods in SLU or QFC in Lower Queen Anne.

However I think the real takeaway from the parent comment is that US cities are not designed for pedestrians[0].

I'm aware of the increased startup latency for functions haven't been recently used, but that's not the same as downtime or dropped connections.

Can anyone speak to continuous deployments with Lambda, where downtime is not an option? Is it possible to run blue green deployments?

Any reason you chose to use API Gateway for your edge instead of another Envoy with an ELB in front?

App-wide support for 100% native navigation with an easy cross-platform interface. For iOS, this package is a wrapper around react-native-controllers, but provides a simplified more abstract API over it. This abstract API will be unified with the Android solution which is currently work in progress. It also fully supports redux if you use it.

It sounds to me, after reading the above and googling "React Native" for <10 minutes, that this library handles the UI navigation for mobile phone apps written in React Native, and it does so in a way that allows your code to work across multiple operating systems (presumably iOS and Android). This library is also compatible with redux, a very popular state manager.

This is insanely rad. Great job.
