Re:Can we all stop using Medium now? on Thursday May 16, 2019 @08:34PM (#19934950)
Not everyone has the time to create their own platform and curation network. That's the reason why people will keep using Medium.

We need to stop acting like it's easy to build these types of platforms.

Yeah they should've just used asciinema where you can actually manipulate time, and copy/paste directly from the video.

It's the same for Android vs iOS as well. With Android you have so many options that it's overwhelming, with an iPhone you'll have a product that is better than most Android phones and you don't have to worry about the chance of choice.

For a lot of people that's comforting.

Why doesn't reddit try to roll out an enterprise product?

I'm sure a lot of companies would be willing to pay to have an interface like reddit internally. Most current solutions for this problem aren't very good and I feel like reddit could be a good alternative. (not the redesign though, loading times on that would make it basically unusable)

Re:Why GitHub Won't Help with Hiring on Thursday March 08, 2018 @08:01PM (#16549102)
That's not entirely true. Candidates have to meet employers halfway.

Employer's have a limited amount of time and money too, why should they waste those resources having to mine for someone's skill level when there's plenty of candidates out there that will display that on some online site.

Re:Eight years of Go on Friday November 10, 2017 @04:30PM (#15673225)
the issue becomes that there are so many solutions out there that going from project to project becomes a pain.

Large projects use a litany of different tools like glide, dep, godeps, vndr, govendor, etc. that managing all of them is a pain.

What makes it worse is that Golang's official solution seems half-baked when compared with other solutions out there.

Having lived in both Texas and now California I do have to say that the higher taxes do provide for better public everything.

Texas seems so far behind when it comes to things like parks, transportation, and publicly available goods that coming to California is like a dream.

I'd happily pay more taxes to be able to have these things be available for everyone.

By decentralizing you have to expose more things for interaction with different services leaving you more entry-points for a potential attack.
Re:Ask HN: Is Vagrant dead or dated? Do people still use it? on Tuesday October 03, 2017 @04:32PM (#15395904)
From the perspective of someone who works at Docker, we still use it to quickly spin up machines to test the installation of Docker on various kernel setups / OS's.

It still has its use-cases and Docker can't cover some of those special test cases since it shares the kernel with the host system.

Re:Vagrant 2.0 on Thursday September 07, 2017 @04:46PM (#15195553)
I use vagrant (I also work at Docker) to spin up machines when I need different kernel versions since Docker shares the kernel with the host machine.
Re:Docker Is Raising Funding at $1.3B Valuation on Friday August 18, 2017 @04:07PM (#15049328)
How is it slower to use containers than traditional machines? Provisioning for a container is basically just downloading an image and running it.

Sounds like you haven't really used containers at all.

Re:Engineers in San Francisco Have Mediocre Take Home Pay on Thursday August 10, 2017 @04:30PM (#14983892)
150-160k is pretty reasonable for salary in the city. Most engineers I know are making around that or higher.
Re:How not to behave on GitHub issues on Monday June 12, 2017 @05:46PM (#14541390)
I can see where both sides are coming from, but I think if it's as simple as just uploading a new package with a version bump then the maintainer should just go ahead and do it.

It's not worth it to interrupt the workflow of everyone else just because you want to "stand your ground" and not spend 5 minutes re-uploading a package.
