Hope you don't break my site :)
- tomglynch 4y agotoo bad. it's broken.
- mensetmanusman 4y agoSeems broken, is this a simultaneous move interface for chess? sounds interesting!
- shric 4y agoThat already exists: https://www.kfchess.com/ https://www.kfchess.com/
- gershy 4y agoIt's not the same!
- shric 4y agoI believe you :) Just pointing out what the parent described.
- jojobas 4y agoThis is realtime chess with cooldown, OP seems to have made the "lock in a move for simultaneous execution" (nobody seems to have seen it).
- mensetmanusman 4y agoYes, this is what I was asking about. A lock-in move mechanism.
- palata 4y agokjchess is pretty fun, just tried!
- jojobas 4y agoAaaaand it's down.
- gershy 4y agoOy vey... working on it
- subroutine 4y agoHurry gershy! In the meanwhile, others might be interested in visualizing a Reddit (and HN) hug of death: https://www.tylermw.com/visualizing-a-reddit-hug-of-death-and-how-to-reddit-proof-your-website-for-pocket-change/ https://www.tylermw.com/visualizing-a-reddit-hug-of-death-an...
- gershy 4y agoThis is a great article, thanks! :)
- Player6225 4y agoeyes on the road, gershy! :P
- Shared404 4y agoLooking forward to checking your site later gershy (and placing this comment as a reminder :P ), but I'll admit I'm glad in a horrible sort of way that it means I was able to see this article.

- ummonk 4y agoI have to point out that this was an entirely predictable outcome of submitting it to hacker news…
- danuker 4y agoOnly if it's sufficiently successful.
- Retr0id 4y agoIt is possible to survive HN traffic.
- danuker 4y agoEven my dedicated Apache server threw errors for static pages every now and then, when serving gigabytes per hour.
- ummonk 4y agoIt’s trivial to survive HN traffic with a static site (assuming you know in advance that the site needs to be prepared for HN traffic) - just stick it behind a CDN.
- pifm_guy 4y agoI found HN front-page to still be less than about 1 user action per second. Ie. Pageload. That means if your site loads fast, you typically won't ever be serving more than a single user at once, so unless you're serving it on a burstable CPU and you run out of burst capacity, you should be fine.
- nicoburns 4y agoYeah, my site which is hosted on fly.io's smallest VM with 256MB RAM and only part of a CPU core was on the HN front page the other day and I was surprised to see that it barely even registered the resource usage: consuming just 50MB RAM with a 0.2 load average. It is a fairly simple webpage, and it's rendered in Rust so it's probably more efficient than most. And perhaps it didn't get as much traffic as other things on the front page, but I was still expecting worse given how much some sites seem to struggle.
- noduerme 4y agoCan't access it, but what's the server running?
- gershy 4y agoA framework I wrote from scratch! (https://github.com/Gershy/hut https://github.com/Gershy/hut in case you're curious)
- joshxyz 4y agostill on the front page, good luck with that haha
