Not everyone has the same metric for success. Getting stars on a developer-only site doesn't seem to fit any of the gnome-desktop-project long term goals. Getting stars on a developer-only site seems at least a semi-useful goal for a programming language, at least in some sense.

The Assange-Russia connection is a construct employed by the Democrats to counter the eventual fall-out when their Russian story deflates. (I.e. instead of standing there like complete morons, they can say "well, it has been Assange after all, but he has been controlled by Russia".)

I've only used Firebase for really small pet projects, and one of the big drivers making me hesitant to actually use it at work was the really large difficulty in actually transparently getting a grip on what my usage looked like.

A while ago their pricing model was based on concurrent connections to the live DB, but then you read the docs and it seemed to suggest that you had to do a different kind of math to actually figure out what your REAL usage was. Well, they decided that was way to complicated and so they nixed it. This scenario just reveals that this isn't really the issue -- the issue is trying to obfuscate what the real factors that the billing is based on. If they literally just gave you a dashboard with a breakdown of where the source of your bill would come out to, in detail, it would alleviate 100% of these issues. All we need/ed was better monitoring!
I wonder how much of the never-upgrade mentality is down to Microsoft insisting on being backwards compatible back till basically the Jurassic period, and providing support for obsolete software for years and years. Their intention is commendable, but there's something to be said for sometimes breaking things for what is hopefully the greater good.

The rust package manager issue that was on HN the other week comes to mind, where a package called NUL (I think) wreaked havoc on Windows systems because of backwards compatibility with DOS.

My point is: why rush to upgrade when you've got "support" anyway? For varying definitions of support.

Same here. And with all the hype Mastodon and GNU Social inspired Twitter alternatives are getting now, I'm surprised no one's done the same for Reddit yet. Or at least managed to advertise it heavily enough that people have heard of it.

It'd certainly fix a lot of Reddit's issues with censorship (by making it so the subreddit owners act like independent forum owners). Or if it's truly decentralised rather than federated, by not having a single person or team doing the moderation in general. And there'd certainly be no possibility of the system losing CSS support...
With keep-alive you may not even need TLS session tickets (if the keep alive timeout is long enough).

keep-alive keeps the HTTP/TLS socket open.

TLS session tickets allow to close and "cheaply" reopen TLS session on a new socket for a new HTTP connection.

Using both keep-alive and TLS session tickets is optimal.

There are a set of RDBMS use cases that do care about CAP and consistency - specifically applications that need Active-Active or Multi-Master capabilities. These use cases need scale across multiple data centers and low latency transactions.

But CockroachDB suffers from worse latency limitations than Spanner since it relies on NTP/hybrid clock to serialize transactions.

There will be useful cases for robots of all body types. BUT we humans have created a humanoid world where the human form makes sense. As such we'll need robots that mimic that for certain functions.

I don't know you any better than your co-founders and in general I would say that those who either 1) continue to finance or 2) continue to work should have much more of the equity than those who quit. If one or both of your co-founders leave, or if an investor doesn't follow up on his investments, you would want that party to have much less as well.

I feel bad for your co-founders that you guys haven't had a vesting schedule in place or similar so that you would lose most of your equity now when you quit. Imagine having to work for free or for low pay in the future just to hand over 1/3 of the result to someone else. I don't know if 10 percent is too much or fair. I

I know you could say that you have worked for 16 months for free or very little but right about now is when it usually gets really tough. Your savings are probably up, maybe you haven't found a product market fit yet, maybe there are no customers yet. Doubts set in, both in you and your partner, family and friends. Now is when it hurts to continue.

So right now, I think the decent thing to do would be to increase the capital by a lot and let the co-founders subscribe for those new shares but have the shares vest gradually as they continue to work.

I also think if would be a decent thing to let the possible investor know that you are quitting before he commits.
And yet it's on the frontpage. Like I said: odd.
Firebase is one of the very few products to offer controllable client data replication for full offline first functionality.

For apps that have significant offline requirements, this functionality can save a significant amount of time and significantly reduce the amount of code that needs to be written and more importantly maintained.

One of my clients just recently seriously considered going with Firebase. The choice came down to Firebase and Couchbase, which has an even better offline functionality. After reading this post I am glad that we didn't going with Firebase.

Of course Couchbase has their own problems. The supported version of Couchbase is prohibitively expensive for small organizations and Couchbase themselves strongly recommended against deploying the community edition. (The community edition also artificially lags behind the supported edition 6 months. Couchbase even delays critical security fixes that same 6 months.)

There is a better term for this exact phenomenon; Function as a Service (FaaS). It fits neatly with Platform as a Service (PaaS) and Software as a Service (SaaS). It also makes sense, mostly.

However, as much as I agree with you (and I do; 'serverless' is just cruel semantic abuse), the buzzword took off; the marketeers and bandwagoneers got a hold of it, made it buzz, and now do not appear willing to let go.

Shame.
We started using Firebase when it just launched, primarily because the top end plan said $200 for (almost) unlimited use. For what we were doing at that time this was a huge deal. Firebase have changed their pricing a couple of times since then. All said and done it's still a great service and we use Firebase in almost all our projects.

Maybe unrelated, but at the same time we started using Firebase, we started using (then) another startup called Intercom (www.intercom.io). Intercom was priced a flat $ 49 (or 50, do not remember exactly) then and it was a bargain for us. But since then Intercom has changed their pricing so many times that we ended up paying more for Intercom than for all our servers put together. Intercom is again a great service but we stopped using it because it wasn't worth the price.

> That is, I genuinely believe the world would be a better place without modern day nationalism.

Agreed, but until we have a massive enlightenment in overall society as well as removing those from power who play on people's fear and emotions, we'll have to make do with what we have. Until then, nationalism matters.

> Nationalism is not far removed from racism (which I assume you do not support) when you think deeply and honestly about it.

Yes and no. Racism, taken literally, is idiotic. Racism as a description for culturalism, does in fact define you, or the aggregate behavior of a group is what "culture" is. People are largely (but not entirely) a product of their environment, that is a fact. So the notion of "supporting it" or not makes no sense, it is simply a description of objective reality, a classification. Now, turning your brain off and making decisions solely based on what culture someone appears to belong to of course is prone to error so should be used with caution, but the progressive liberal fear mongering that dishonestly interprets this as bordering on genocide is a big part of the problem why we can never seem to make any progress imho. And again, this matural human behavior (classification based on objective reality) is abused by those in power for their personal gain.

Windows (I assume non Mobile or CE) is a general purposes OS that's easy to configure and (mostly) runs out-of-a-box. Linux (even more so RTOS or some obscure, niche OS), on the other hand, requires more knowledge to be configured, launched and administrated what leads to increase cost. Nobody wants to hire Linux hacker to administer vending machines when it can be done by anyone with minimal technical skills using mouse, keyboard and a phone to call tech support center.

Not a big fan of Microsoft in general, and I generally distrust anything it does, but I'm beginning to like this Brad Smith fellow. He's been pushing for quite a few privacy initiatives inside Microsoft, and he's now also taking on NSA and calling for a Digital Geneva Convention.

I also think Microsoft "got lucky" this time. Shadow Brokers sit on EternalBlue for at least 6 months. They could've released it before the NSA even alerted Microsoft that such a bug exists in its operating system (probably earlier this year). That would've hurt Microsoft's image a lot more.

So I think this should also be a warning to Microsoft (and other software companies). If there is some other backdoor in Windows or bug on which Microsoft may decide to sit on to give the NSA a few extra months to exploit it, its image could be hurt a lot. Some other group may discover it and and then turn it into another global ransomware attack, before Microsoft even has a chance to patch it.

So lesson of the day: don't do back room (or door) deals with the NSA, whether because of fear, for money, "patriotism," or some other reason, because it could come back and hurt you 10 times more when you're put in the spotlight as the main party responsible for a global attack.

You seem to think it is more important that the US has power than that it wields that power justly.

When you align yourself with the ends of power at any cost, you will have lost that cause already.

I don't know what you think the GNU project stands for, but I find it incredibly hard to believe that they would not give GitLab an A rating if they followed the requirements (which are publicly listed). As an example, they promote GNU/Linux distributions that are not funded by the FSF[1]. Same goes for the FSF's "Respects Your Freedom" mark -- they reward it to anyone who passes the requirements.

The GNU project regularly promotes non-GNU projects. This is all just FUD.

Unfortunately, this is probably the best hack. Put assets in some kind of trust, then have the American taxpayer pay for those expensive last years. I am a pharmacist at a long term care pharmacy, and assisted livings in my area charge up to $8000 a month. Their model seems to be 1. Drain your assets until you qualify for Medicaid, 2. Move you from your private suite to a slightly shittier shared room. I believe Medicaid pays around $3000 a month. And that's only for a place to sleep and a med tech or patient care assistant be on site 24/7. Many of these places don't have nurses after 8pm. Do you want employees to give you your mess? How about an extra $500 a month?

All that money doesn't get you superior results. I talk to some of the more coherent patients all the time on the phone. The lonelier ones keep me on the line for longer. I can't help but think there is a better model.

I'm not sure I'm reading the same comments as you. None of the ones I read seem overtly negative. Mine is the closest to negative and I explicitly said that I'm just trying to understand not criticize.

You may be reading into them too much. For example, the person saying it is like Angular 1.0 could be negative or very positive depending on your view of Angular.

Edit: I take that back. The one about "not a single line of code" is actually more negative than mine. Although it also happens to be true. That is code.

I'd be curious as to what the difference is between the theory of equity ownership and the reality.

The theory, is that you have a certain percentage of the company (whether that is 10% of whatever), that is somehow "yours". But this is a private company, and you are a minority shareholder who presumably hasn't put much in the way of cash equity. What's to prevent the shareholders, after you leave, simply from dealing you out? There are all sorts of ways of doing this. The existing shareholders can get a liquidation preference in later rounds. The remaining co-founders (who presumably hold common), get paid out with a consulting bonus that acts as a drawdown on the equity, resulting in nothing for any of the minority shareholders after the preferred gets taken care of. If there are employees during a liquidation event, they can be taken care of with "Retention" or "Continuity" bonuses, and not rely on their holding of common.

Once you leave a company, I wonder how often (in the real world, versus they way we all want it to be) you simply end up with, completely legally, nada.

YC would likely know very well the answer to this - I bet it is north of 98% of the time.
