Comments here are really surprising. I really struggle to understand Product Hunt. I've spent multiple sleepless nights scrolling through it and I couldn't find a single meaningful or useful thing. I guess if you start splashing w

Much much larger, albeit distributed across multiple datacenters and completely isolated environments. The site I was giving as an example was going possibly serving around 10-20M/day, and it isn't an isolated case: I know plenty

There is something comical about this: HN receives an absurd amount of traffic. More than startups and corporations with millions of customers and millions if not billions of dollars behind them, and yet it runs on effectively an arduino na

I think there's problem but it's elsewhere. Sure it's a single file, yes. However in order to run it you need a php interpreter, which I for example, do not have installed and an internet connection. But that would go for jus

Perhaps, whether it's been personal experience or simply as an external observer(and as much as friends and family would hate me for saying this), relationships have been nothing but transactional and manifestations of some form of co-

Nah, in all fairness I'm perfectly content in that aspect-no such expectations or desires. I have plenty of bad examples - observations and personal experiences: in a nutshell, my life is similar to an early 2000's hypercar - look

I'm 33 and I'm in a very similar boat. Actually exactly the same to be completely honest. Several things have helped me cope with those thoughts. First one was force myself not to think about it. Whatever spare time I have, fill i

Well... Here we are then... I completely agree. I've never been subtle about how stupid and useless I find blockchain technologies. Let's not fool ourselves, they are a quick way to make a buck off the back of someone naive. I&#x2

I've never felt nostalgia from looking at old games, photos, tech I used to own or anything that I can remember. This is a first. Still miss winamp tbh...

Good news, except for one thing: > 12. Lawful filtering: Filtering of URLs leading to illegal content based on legal requirements applicable in the EU or in national jurisdictions (e.g. based on court orders), in full compliance with EU

The simple answer is, browsers are brutally hard. Browsers have to support an almost infinite amount of instructions, whether it's html, css, js and now wasm, not to mention the insane amounts of apis, protocols and so on. I mean just

This is what I've always done should I face some blocking or whatever - spin up the lowest tier vm on gcp in whichever region suits me, do my business, kill and bury the vm.

Woah, didn't know about that, thanks!

For years on I endured ads because they were the sole source of revenue to millions of sites online and to people who were getting peanuts for their efforts of building, maintaining and pouring contents which have been priceless to me. But

Disclosure: never done any iOS development, only android as a hobby/personal projects. I'll be first to admit I have always hated Java with a passion. So when Kotlin came along I was thrilled. It still piggybacked on the wretched

So do I. There was plenty that needed improving but fundamentally the idea was awesome. What's more is that I miss Google reader like nothing I've ever missed. I've been pitching the idea to rebuild it to multiple people, eve

That's the point: you have to follow a workflow to make it even remotely usable. And even so, they are hacky workarounds at best and generally mercurial feel like the product of "that's good enough". And in a more genera

That's what I mean by "constructive rant" :P Either that or I've embraced cynicism and dark humor more than I should have. Probably both.

I mean... Credit where it's due: it certainly beats mercurial for me.

by axegon_ 5y ago
No. I had to use mercurial at my old job and everyone in the company saw mercurial as an easy and efficient alternative to git - something which I could not comprehend. And truthfully after using the "easier" solution, I'd ra

One constructive rant on a controversial topic and you're done.

My life is sort of 50-50. Half is at an all time high, half at an all time low. Hopefully the low end gets a few points.

Don't sweat it. I generally ignore holidays: I don't care about them. I spent this Christian with my parents largely because they insisted. I think with age I start carrying less and less about holidays. When I was 20, spending sa

I'm not sure if best but certainly the most enjoyable and entertaining: For the love of physics. I absolutely envy people who have been in Walter Lewin's classes.

I'm talking about today: Finland is one of the wealthiest nations on the planet. In that aspect, it's mostly symbolic.

by axegon_ 5y ago
Come to think of it, this is great thinking. Sure, it's mostly symbolic but the message itself is beautiful: Finland is a wealthy nation and even in wealthy nations people don't get equal start: surely you'd have better optio

In the US maybe. In a small country in eastern Europe having this done in 24 hours for peanuts exists only in the realm of science fiction. The fastest and cheapest service I know of here is not that far from my flat and you'd be lucky
