I think for the upvotes to work, you have to pretend to be a user who just happened to find it in the "new" page X)
<etu>
oh
<etu>
there, have a vote
<gchristensen>
thank you :)
<sphalerite>
gchristensen: yes, that's what I was thinking
<tazjin>
gchristensen: that's awesome! Was thinking a few months ago that surely something leaner than `buildImage` must be possible :)

It's currently (already) number 67 on HackerNews.
<jasongrossman>
gchristensen: Nicely written.
<gchristensen>
jasongrossman: thanks! it is incredible how quickly it falls off the new page
<tazjin>
gchristensen: I think HN works better with slightly more clickbaity titles like "Improving Docker layer caching with Nix" ;-)
<gchristensen>
does HN have rules about resubmitting things that got no traction?

(HN is especially sensitive towards titles that suggest something being bad)

How to solve the container bloat!!1
<tazjin>
gchristensen: I think if *you* post it again it might be frowned upon, if someone else does and it gains traction they may merge the threads
<gchristensen>
ok, well I'll let someone else do that then :)
<tazjin>
could post it to /r/programming, see if it gains traction and someone else cross-posts it to HN
<simpson>
Also, pearls before swine; don't worry about HN too much.
<tazjin>
~ actual organic spread ~
<jasongrossman>
I agree with simpson.
<tazjin>
yeah HN frontpage traffic is not as much as you might think
<jasongrossman>
tazjin: Right.
<gchristensen>
I'm not worried about HN, really
<simpson>
AFAICT most Nix-related posts to HN are good for making people jelly/curious about Nix, but not much else.
<jasongrossman>
Web searches will find the blog post.
<jasongrossman>
I just searched "awesome" and "toast" and it was the top hit.
<gchristensen>
yeah, that is a big part of my goal, simpson
<joepie91>
andi-: basically that yes :P
<manveru>
gchristensen: anw, thanks for the post, it's really cool :)
<manveru>
ideal for showing my coworkers

I'm having a DENTAL PLAN moment.
<simpson>
Nix builds containers. Nix can choose the entrypoint. kubeless supports custom containers. Spinnaker can deploy containers from git.
<simpson>
git is an executable. Executables can be entrypoints. Nix can put git in a container. kubeless supports custom git. Spinnaker can deploy containers from kubeless.
<simpson>
There's something there. What is it? I'm gonna have to LISA NEEDS BRACES this a bit.

so my article on hackernews is on the second page if anyone would like to go upvote it, ps: should I stop begging for votes? is that an unpleasent thing people would rather not see me do?

jD91mZM2: just for fun, was the solution a workaround, or a proper fix, and should it be documented or better fixed upstream? :)
<gchristensen>
I can't afford that kind of karma right now :o
