on: How to gain code execution on hundreds of millions of people and popular apps
Agreed. I recently stumbled upon the fact that even Hacker News is using Firebase for exposing an API for articles. Caution should be taken when writing server-side software in general.

on: Kubernetes 1.12
It's also that not all services used together may work on the latest version of k8s. For example, one of the services can only support up to 1.11 and need updates to use 1.12, then you suddenly cannot deploy 1.12 to those clusters. I think in terms of LTS it's more about having stable APIs for developing.

on: Show HN: Sublime Merge – A Git client from the makers of Sublime Text
For direct integrations there is already a tool called Sublimerge (
https://www.sublimerge.com/) (I am not affiliated with this team), anyone compared the two?
If it's a merge tool is not integrated directly with the editor, it's not as useful.
On a side note, the competition for this sector of market, for sublime and such is much tougher, like atom and vscode being "free" to use. The one thing that hinders definitely, is the amount of third-party packages available.

on: iPhone App will not stay open - just flashes when trying to launch
Even if the customer is a dick, you can't lock someone out of their own door.
Now let's think again when you trust some third-party for something as important as your home door.

on: Docker Enterprise and Community Editions
Docker Enterprise:
https://www.docker.com/enterpriseWhat really trigger this is that their beta versions for mac and windows now have a changlog reading like this:
"Introduce Docker Community Edition"
It seems that they would be releasing the current tools as a separate but related product now. Just to clarify, Docker for Mac or Windows is not open-sourced (although it includes docker which is open-sourced).

Agreed. Just launched it over with different "modern" browsers and was disappointed by the support.

on: “Should you encrypt or compress first?”
I am always thinking, if the compression scheme is known, you would need some good noonce to avoid known plaintext (for example, compression format's header is always the same), and also by CRIME, which is to remover the dictionary of the compression.
I think it is best to use built-in compression scheme by the compression program to do the encryption first, as those often take these into account (and the header is not leaked, since only the content is encrypted).

Rather, as they don't have SLA to end-users, they get credits from Google, so they still earn money.

What a shame that Apple haven't got WebRTC supported, and I think it would still take a long way to go.

Funny thing is that the text is still very readable (slower, but still readable) to me. I think it should be much worse for people who have the real problems...

When I started listening to techno/electro music I quickly found about Nujabes (I am more into the Japanese scene) but later he got into a traffic accident. What a pity to this world.

on: AI generated music to improve focus, relaxation and sleep
So there are already tons of apps on App Store or Play store featuring auto-generated beats for working and sleeping. Is there any clinical studies saying that this service is better than any of those? If the effects are the same, why choosing this over others?

on: CockroachDB: A Scalable, Geo-Replicated, Transactional Datastore
Multi Data Center Replication doesn't come in the free-lunch-pack. To get that with Riak, you probably need to downpay $6000 for getting that license for a node. So if you have two geolocations for your data, it would be at least $12000 for a minimal setup.
Of course for people looking at the usage for this, money is not the major issue.
