https://gleam.run/ Gleam is super promising.

We've been running a large web application backend written in Elixir for over three years now. It's awesome and we've also rewritten some of our microservices to utilize Distributed Erlang. No need for a service mesh this way. :-)

We deploy Erlang VMs to EC2 and they communicate just fine. Deploying via a Dockerfile and `mix release` has been a breeze.

As a bonus point, no real need for container orchestration as the BEAM just figures it out.

Hmm. Please could you explain further? I'm genuinely curious what costs you associate with Hashicorp products.
Re:Ask HN: Have You Left Kubernetes? on Monday August 01, 2022 @09:01AM (#32305343)
We use Nomad from Hashicorp, it's super simple. Never liked the complexity K8s brings along.
Congratulations on launching!

How does this compare to Fantastical? It does the same for me, just puts a giant Zoom icon next to its menubar icon and clicking on it lets me join my next meeting.

"Thinking, Fast and Slow" is a book I buy for every person for their first birthday after I met them. It is the book that has had the most profound impact on me thus far.
Re:Ask HN: How to make iOS more private and secure? on Monday September 02, 2019 @11:56PM (#20863610)
I host my own VPN and it's great. Algo VPN [0] makes it dead simple, as well.

Re:Killing a process and all of its descendants on Saturday August 03, 2019 @11:09AM (#20600754)
systemd uses cgroups, yes.
My experience with Zulip has also been pretty great. We (a startup) found that it keeps the conversation more focused.
Re:Secure ShellFish – SSH and SFTP Storage for iOS on Thursday June 27, 2019 @10:50AM (#20294905)
Just yesterday I was designing something on my iPad Pro and had to save it to Local Storage (which is another great app, btw) only to use Blink to scp it over. SCP in the end didn't work (in Blink) with key authentication, so I had to resort to https://transfer.sh/

Complex, and this might make it a lot simpler. Thanks!

Re:Show HN: GitHub Code Review with Emacs on Wednesday February 20, 2019 @01:45PM (#19210716)
Awesome! Plugins like this make me want to make the switch to emacs from vim sooner than ever.
Re:Skype contact lists may have been exposed (2017) on Wednesday February 13, 2019 @05:30AM (#19151986)
Correct - there has to be a clear indication that you are consenting. It can't just be hidden away in a 60 page document in a statement that says "I consent to being tracked, etc".
Re:German town votes ‘No’ to street names on Monday February 04, 2019 @04:19AM (#19074972)
Could you elaborate what issues does it come with? I'm biased since I grew up in an area with street names and a consecutive system, but genuinely interested in hearing more.
Re:Linux: IO without entering the kernel on Sunday December 16, 2018 @06:50AM (#18692720)
The idea of avoiding context switches by using memory regions to communicate with the kernel reminds me of FlexSC[0], which was a way to have "async" system calls and "flexible scheduling" of them.

Re:Still in love with Rust on Thursday November 22, 2018 @03:01AM (#18508566)
Does vim-racer[0] not work for you? I don't exactly know what you mean by "good autocomplete", but if you are more specific, then maybe we can help you a little more? :-)

FWIW, my Rust setup in vim is mostly the following plugins:

* NERDCommenter, for commenting stuff

* rust.vim, for general rust things (like integration with rustfmt, playground, and the next two plugins)

* tagbar, for showing the list of tags (of the ctags-esque sense) in a sidebar.

* syntastic, for on-the-go syntax checking.

Re:Writing Network Drivers in Go [pdf] on Thursday November 08, 2018 @03:24AM (#18405018)
Let's not forget the Biscuit operating system by MIT just recently published at OSDI'18:

- The paper: https://pdos.csail.mit.edu/papers/biscuit.pdf

- The code: https://github.com/mit-pdos/biscuit

I would use the money to learn on the side, then move on to a new company (or create my own!)
