   My suggestion would be, to not focus on that stuff right away. I know, this comes from the guy, whos website suffered the HN hug of death, but, look, I could bring it back up within 10 minutes. My suggestion is, to build it as easy as possi

   Thanks for the feedback. Sorry that you found a registered domain. Because of how everything works, I can only make sure, that most domains are free, but there are some in ther, that might be taken. Also, .cc and .tv are not cleaned at all,

   Hi, I just upgraded the database, it should be a lot faster again

   Yeah, the database is under too much load right now (should have chosen RDS t3.micro when posting on HN). Updating to a bigger instance right now, should be up in a few minutes again. Thanks for the feedback

   Thanks for the feedback, I am looking into it. I am sure though, that it is not an Firefox issue, as I tested in FF while development. I guess, the database is overloaded, currently...

   Thanks for the feedback. I made the opposite experience, that’s why I build the website for it. Of course, you will wade through some trash, but I did find a lot of interesting domains

   Hi, I am the author of dotcomagain. With dotcomagain you can search through recently dropped .com, .org, .net, .biz, .cc, and .tv domains. I check the .com, .net, .org, .biz domains daily, to make sure they are free. The .tv and .cc are not

    I don't know about you, but 4 out of 5 times, when I research my ddg query, which did not produce a single relevant result on the first page, on Google, I get a good result as #1... Maybe I search google optimized. Still though: This i

    Uhm, could you elaborate? Org mode/Babel supports many languages and is feature rich. Why would you say, the statement "Babel is Jupyter notebook on steroids" is laughable?

    We used appsync at my company and switched to a more classical approach of handwritten crud, a REST Api, a RDS (not entirely sure how well you can use them with appsync) away from dynamodb. Appsync was just not mature enough, had bugs and s

    While it might be possible to Insta/FB to do that, I strongly doubt, that they do that or have systems in place to do that. It most likely is not an important use case for them as the user group that does this is way too small. I wonde

    I think one issue with the colour approach is, that multiple dimensions of character traits are thrown into one pot (one colour) even though, they might be independent traits. Also, saying, someone is one/two/three colours is quit

    I thought Facebook is in trouble for over curating. They tweaked their algorithms for maximum stay on page time and thus promoted clickbaity content that now increasingly drives away longer-ish time users. FB user count is growing, sure, bu

    While all that has happened, I don't think, that's the reason for people's behavior. So many people (also smart people) just don't care about privacy #nothingtohide. And, secondly, nowadays the web is a lot more crowded,

    On the other hand, it is great I think, when economic interests produce mass planting of trees. It is not realistic to assume, that we will let agricultural land become wasteland for the nature to recapture it. It is the same principle with

    Is Roundup used for all of the trees' lifetimes or only in the first (maybe second) year in order to prevent it from being overgrown? My father now owns a little bit of forrest and after new trees had been planted the effort for keepin

    Despite the downvotes, I somewhat agree with you: It is not about the app you use, but THAT YOU USE IT. It does take some commitment and I think, people tend to hop from app to app instead of building the nessecary mindset. In fact, a clock

    Well, that would be org-mode. If you set an time estimate [1] it will give you a desktop notifiction when your time is over. Thanks to clocking in and out [2] you can record your time. And, well, it's org-mode, you can do basically eve

    That's certainly not entirely true. Dick Cheney got himself and some colleagues from affiliated businesses quite wealthy during Iraq [1]. After all, the US military ate 600b$ in 2018; tax payers' money that in large parts went int
