reifnir | 4 years ago | on: Ask HN: What huge mistake did you make early in your career?
Not taking enough chances. I've been doing this for over 20 years and there's only a couple of jobs I've interviewed for that I didn't come with an offer. I thought that meant I was hot shit until a few years ago, I realized that I was really just aiming too low.

It is a sidecar which sits alongside your application. You can access it via http or grpc. They additionally provide multi-language sdks for it. Think database + sdks but for distributed systems.
Most importantly to me, it offers both REST and interface-based programming models allowing the consumer to decide how they want to operate with it.

Unfortunately, the source isn't available. I was hoping I could generate my own narration of any book in the voice of anyone I could throw at the trainer. (Heck, even if it was just my own, anything is better than Scott Brick!)

Stealing that!

It looks as though the mail service won't support custom domains.

There is value in discussing fiction as though it was true. A thought experiment never hurt anybody.

Man, these people should consider using a solution that's easy to horizontally scale (trolololo)

Leveraging blockchain as a distributed ledger is hardly "rolling out cryptocurrencies".

Hi, I'm Jim and I'm a tabaholic. It's been 3 months since I cleaned-up my tabs

Never thought of that... I have to go to the mountain about this!

Same here. Meditations is fantastic, though for a more complete look into Stoicism, I can't recommend A Guide to the Good Life (The Ancient Art of Stoic Joy) by William B Irvine enough!

This comment is a generalization
reifnir | 10 years ago | on: Only 2.7% of all adults had all 4 healthy lifestyle characteristics
If healthy is atypical and unexpected in a population, then it isn't normal. I'm pedantically suggesting that healthy is currently the abnormal condition (and one that clearly needs remediation).
reifnir | 10 years ago | on: Only 2.7% of all adults had all 4 healthy lifestyle characteristics
If less than 10% of people have "normal" body fat in the study, is it really normal? Perhaps that should have been identified as healthy body fat.

Easiest way to emulate Exceptions: just use a GOTO statement.
