Re:You can now send replies from your Duck Addresses on Tuesday February 01, 2022 @03:13AM (#30159863)
Yes, was just going to comment this...

Worth mentioning that its back-end app[1] is also open source, not just their Android[2] and iOS[3] apps. So basically open source + custom domain = no lock in. But I'm not so sure how easy it is to set up your own back-end server (I imagine it's like setting up your own email server, which isn't trivial)

I'm in the midst of learning Go. So I "ported" this in Go lang as an exercise [1], including some tests and benchmark :)

Anybody remember / still play [Nomics]? I thought this was something like that, but I guess it's different.

Which got me thinking, what if it was like a Nomic?

Imagine cloning an exact copy of Wikipedia on another server. Then have 2 player teams: bad guys and good guys. The bad guys edit/write articles to cover their tracks. The good guys scour articles and article histories trying to uncover the truth. Maybe there needs to be a "game master" team that does some type of moderation? I don't know, just spit balling here. Too crazy?

Ask HN: Would you buy apparel with 'significant' SHA256 Identicons on them?

Here's something I came up this weekend: "Identishirts" [1]Basically, T-shirts with Identicons of SHA-256 hashes of interesting data, like:1. First N digits of Pi2. The Planck constant3. Random bits from a Quantum Random Number Generator [2]4. Metamorphosis by Franz Kafkaetc. etc.So if I were to wear one and someone asks, "Hey, that's an interesting design, what is it?"I can reply obnoxiously...

Re:React is mostly hype on Sunday August 14, 2016 @08:00AM (#12285269)
If the point of this post is the site arguman.org, not react, then one small issue (I'm on chrome mobile):

- No quick submit + signup/in button

Which is why I guess people rather argue here than on the site (says something if the whole point of the site is to make arguing easier)

FYI, its Kickstarter page has lots more information than "CHIP does computer things" :)

Interesting take on runtime type checking. Have you seen tcomb (http://gcanti.github.io/tcomb/)? I've been using it myself and I like this idea of using it for domain driven design. Check it out if you haven't, maybe you can find something to differentiate as avocado is still in its early stages.
Re:Flux over the Wire using Websockets and Immutable JS on Monday February 09, 2015 @06:39AM (#9020668)
Alas, I've been working on something like this for the last few weeks on and off, especially the "patching" of immutable data, my solution was to use jiff[1], which generates JSON Patch operations[2], which is then applied to the Immutable object using immpatch[3] (a lib I wrote).

A cursory look at Remutable seems it to be the better and faster option :)

Re:Ask HN: What have you achieved in January 2015? on Wednesday February 04, 2015 @10:23AM (#8997270)
Lots of green boxes in my GitHub contributions/activity table (compared to the entire last year). But honestly, most of those activity is on my own projects, I would like to contribute more to other open source projects :)
Re:Flux Application Architecture on Friday May 09, 2014 @12:15PM (#7721645)
From what I understand from your description, it seems that data access, server requests, etc. fall under the responsibility of Actions? Why not offload it to the Store?

e.g: ArticleActions.favorite fires off an ARTICLE_UPDATE action, the ArticleStore receives this and does the appropriate ArticleDAO asynchronous call and when done emits a change event to update any Views.

Re:Docker 0.7.3 is out on Saturday January 04, 2014 @01:15AM (#7010205)
Cool, thanks. Nothing yet from their official blog/docs, hmm?

Here's the actual link, not the `t.co` shortened one:

http://test.docker.io/builds/Darwin/x86_64/docker-0.7.3.tgz

Using the "get.docker.io" domain also works.

Re:Docker 0.7.3 is out on Saturday January 04, 2014 @12:56AM (#7010160)
> Add an official Docker client binary for Darwin (Mac OS X)

Where to get it? Please update the documentation include instructions for this. Also, hopefully `brew install docker` will be available soon :)

Re:RethinkDB raises an $8M Series A on Monday December 16, 2013 @01:19PM (#6916633)
I think I stumbled upon it before, looks rough around the edges and very early preview/beta so I kinda passed on it. Will revisit it soon.
Re:RethinkDB raises an $8M Series A on Monday December 16, 2013 @01:06PM (#6916528)
Been trying RethinkDB on and off and really like the query language. Does anybody know if there are any RethinkDB hosting/DBaaS services out there? Sysadmin/devops is not my forte, and with LTS coming, I hope companies like MongoHQ/MongoLab/IrisCouch for RethinkDB start to prop up.
Re:Our first data centers in Asia are up and running on Wednesday December 11, 2013 @02:58AM (#6886472)
Good news. Hope this also mean Google Compute Engine / App Engine will soon have regions/zones in Asia.
Re:DigitalOcean Sucks. Use DigitalOcean on Wednesday November 20, 2013 @01:05AM (#6766560)
Me too. Curious, have you tried using the US data centers from Asia? If so, how is the speed like?
As another developer preparing to "launch" a product, this is rather encouraging.

Would be nice if you could share what suggestions you gave Basil regarding his site (with his permission). Might be enlightening to many, even if it's only relevant to his product.
