Sadly, that's the only marketplace around. I have about 5 APIs there and the activity is really low.

Nope, the punishment is a reaction to an action (the murder). First there's the virus then comes the anti-virus. Without the action there is no punishment. You can twist this idea for as long as you wish, your point is still wrong as it's based on parallel universes and "what ifs" all the time. You remind me of the late Christopher Hitchens debates (go watch that man on youtube, also Sam Harris and Lawrence Krauss) where the religious arguments are always based on the premise of "prove me that God doesn't exist" while nobody can actually prove it exists neither.

I know a gypsy family in my country (it's been aired on TV 2 weeks ago - there are many such examples) which has 12 kids, all of them sent in Paris and Berlin to beg on the streets for money. Back home they have a palace and 4-5 cars each above 30-40k euros from everything they raised over the years. Most of those kids bring zero value to the society (it's not their fault - it's how they were raised), even worst, "it takes one bad apple to spoil the bunch" meaning that I see a trend in the youth to go for the "easy money" which brings us to the top of the list when it comes to fraud, identity theft, credit card theft, hacking and so on. This is just an example (and there's plenty more I can think of) but I want to ask you...are they a gift? To whom? To their parents maybe...in which case, isn't it selfish in some cases to make more kids than none at all? Aren't you just subjective by using yourself as an example to all arguments?

As a father myself, I don't see a goal in "preserving my bloodline" at all. The bloodline doesn't matter. I always go for quality over quantity. I don't need to pay tribute to anybody (ancestors). I didn't ask anybody to bring me into this world. A gift is something that you're offered, never imposed.

This is no "Schrödinger's cat" which is both alive and dead. There is no fork if one decides to not have children. Decision was made so your fork is a straight line. Let's not dive into parallel universes spawned each time we make a decision.

I don't think you can be selfish by not sharing something...with someone who doesn't exist. Not everyone "enjoys life" the same way as you do. There's no selfishness in here, just decisions that I chose to respect. And why do you call it a gift? Given? By whom?

Oh...never knew they are making the stats public. That's a good point yes.

Curious why with bitly and others as main competitors. I looked at your project and doesn't seem to pack anything more than bitly for example and their free plan is somewhat ridiculous.

Docker really struggles

* quite the paradox writing this on HN isn't it? I think we browse looking for the content not the design. Google cloud? Angular.io? android.com? stamplay.com?

I really tried myself but switched my XPS on linux after 1 hour. I placed all my hopes on that Ubuntu on Windows thing but it's full of limitations and you can't get through with a working development environment. It's locked on ubuntu 14 from what I recall and you can't really install/compile do your thing freely due to some limitations. If working with nodejs and light stuff I presume it can be okay'ish.

Most likely cancer as a disease will be a solved problem before we could enable this body part regeneration thing...if ever.

Care to explain why python async would have performed better? I don't see a single way in which python async would be a better alternative for the given job. I'm a python guy myself but, when it comes to async stuff, I find nodejs much better and easier to understand/follow through (even with cb madness yes). For the described job, I would have went with Elixir or Go as well yes.

I'm using it and it's pretty good. I don't really agree with the scheme of 1. Tricking you into paying something. 2. Feeling guilty for entering $0...but the ui is not bad at all imho.

I gave that up in 10 minutes. I really tried spinning up a basic docker project (docker compose) without luck. Sure, having a bash is a step forward and I see it getting better but it's no way near to a developer's basic needs.

Other than web components not being fully supported yet by browsers is there any other downside to this compared to react+redux/vuejs or angular? I'm just asking as I haven't tried polymer until now but I'm pretty familiar with the mentioned fw's.

Be better by example. A good project manager will see the value and you will be (hopefully) praised. Show him this post. Talk to him that you're having a bad time following his code. Rewrite some of his work and present it to him. These talks are always hard to initiate because they might not get the right message and turn on you. Good luck to you!
