Re:How to architect a Qt/C++ Application on Tuesday January 08, 2019 @06:11AM (#18854742)
I just want to ask, why?

Today we've a superior technology like Electron. Why should we use old technology like Qt?

VSCode is built in Electron.

Re:Bash 5.0 released on Tuesday January 08, 2019 @05:23AM (#18854588)
It's not my blog, i thought mentioning a script in bash would be a good idea.
Re:Bash 5.0 released on Tuesday January 08, 2019 @02:47AM (#18853997)
Here is my favourite bash script: https://blog.ashfame.com/2018/02/deploying-lambdas-multiple-...

Deploy a lambda function in multiple regions (15 regions!) with just one bash script using Apex up.

Add route53 on top with Latency Based Routing enabled and you've a latency in 10s of millsecond from anywhere on the globe without paying a hefty fee for this kind of latency.

Re:Ask HN: Buying farm machinery from Alibaba on Tuesday January 08, 2019 @02:40AM (#18853969)
This is also what i wonder why Alibaba doesn't take care of customs/logistics and ask us to just pay for it.

They leave it to local authorities who a many times screw up

I think redirection should be done at application level, not at loadbalancer level.

Yes, we've our startup project using Kubernetes, Google Compute, Load Balancer, Cloud Datastore, CloudSQL and Bigquery.

It doesn't have many features as AWS and offerings are incomplete but performance is better imho.

Only problem we had was with billing but now it's solved too.

Re:Announcing unlimited free private repos on Tuesday January 08, 2019 @12:49AM (#18853538)
There is a LambCI with very high concurrent build limit and works with Github, one click install using cloudformation.
Re:Announcing unlimited free private repos on Tuesday January 08, 2019 @12:23AM (#18853411)
This came at the right time.

I was looking into LambCI but it only supports github.

I was using bitbucket for private repos.

Checkout: https://github.com/lambci/lambci/blob/master/README.md

It only supports github.

For my hobby projects i can't afford to host gitlab CI/Jenkins or pay for premium CI services.

Now, i can run my tests on Lambda,yay!

You can always write native extension in c++/rust/c.
Can you please explain why?
Why use not Electron? Take a look at vscode it has plugins and it seems to work everywhere.
Re:Introduction to Dart VM on Monday January 07, 2019 @05:11AM (#18844074)
I think Dart was a result of optimizing JavaScript VM and learning about the cons of language which are hard to optimize for JS VM then getting rid of them.
Re:How do I reach maximum tech engineers/creators? on Monday January 07, 2019 @05:01AM (#18844028)
Chat is too demanding for most people.

I suggest making discourse forum and advertising it on Reddit ads.

Even Facebook ads can be useful.

You'll need to create a marketing page to explain the purpose of your forum.

Using github/gmail/gitlab login would be useful too.

It seems i am unable to sign-up for your slack workspace.

Personally, I am very much interested in such forum/chat.

Even Amazon's music search sucks. It can never find the song unless you provide an accurate name. Its fuzzy matching sucks too, doesn't even account for regional trend in songs.
Can you please explain how we can access sqlite database hosted by s3 in lambda?

I googled it but it seems s3 is only for hosting static files and it will not be possible to directly query Sqlite DB on s3.

Re:Ask HN: What do you backup your digital assets? on Sunday January 06, 2019 @12:21PM (#18839336)
I upload everything to s3 using duplicity.

I think he wants privacy. Google not knowing when he pays and how much in what currency would be useful
Re:Ask HN: Startup coworker underperforming on Sunday January 06, 2019 @06:29AM (#18837789)
OP, it seems you are worried about your startup going underground.

It's shocking that some people are telling you to quit even when you've already put a lot of foundational work into the company.

I suggest you go to founder and ask him for more equity or wage hike.

It's possible that founder got your coworker because he failed to find the talent worth hiring in the first place and that might only be his job, not development.

Maybe he's on the strategy side. You didn't not disclose what this person is getting paid vs what you are getting paid.

It's not clear whats your compensation vs what's his.

Sometimes, the person who arrives first get paid more in equity just because he believed in the idea first and joined the team regardless of their technical competence. It might be hard to swallow.

But since you deem it's unfair, i request you to take up the compensation matter with CEO, get your worth of equity/wage hike so that you finally stop complaining and feel justified.

Re:Syncthing graduation day on Sunday January 06, 2019 @02:56AM (#18837191)
Probably i use syncthing in the most odd way.

I've around 70 servers with syncthing on them and i am using it with Route53 for use as CDN.

One thing i am missing is that, i want to sync in a way that it's aware of the network topology and syncs from the nearest network first.

The downside is that all your data lives on every server.

Is there a smart way to sync only needed data using p2p for CDN application?
