France, Netherlands, Denmark, former commie block come to mind. It was one of the things that really stuck out to me: how mature/well behaved and independent/confident the children were there (for the most part). There's even

Well, this doesn’t exactly check out when you compare to countries and cultures who already give children these freedoms and have the built environment to support it (transport, walkability, parks/spaces to play, etc). They are not onl

Thanks for the WalEx mention!: https://github.com/cpursley/walex also, there’s https://github.com/sequinstream/sequin if you want something more robust that already works with connectors and smoke

fwiw, bread and cheese in the Netherlands kicks the crap out of what is often called "cheese" in the US. However, the situation has at least improved over the past decade if your budget allows it.

It's difficult to export culture when the receiving cultures don't speak the language, don't share religion, etc. US has a big benefit of being part of the Anglophone world going back to it's founding and more recently w

Having a school lunch in a "poor" former eastern block country as a guest was really eye opening. It was actually good, fresh made borscht, veg dishes that tasted good (wasn't steamed)! Like, I would order and enjoy it at a r

American school lunches were big-ag industrial complex garbage well before Dubbya was in office.

Why mongo is dumb has been written up about ad nauseam - from data modeling and quality issues, out of control costs, etc. It's been a known toxic dumpsterfire for well over a decade...

Why in the world do people choose Mongo over Postgres? I'm legit curious. Is it inexperience? Javascript developers who don't know backend or proper data modeling (or about jsonb)? Is this type of decision coming down from non-tec

I’ll bite, what’s your product. I’m always interested in these types of platforms.

Those are static site providers. For actual server paas that can run docker containers, render.com and fly.io are what heroku could have evolved to.

Huh? Solar is getting produced now in larger quantities than ever. And people are finally warming to the idea of nuclear again.

1/3 of hn posts (maybe more) are "look at this thing we built!" or a combo of that with "plus all this VC money!" where op has basically re-invented something that has existed in Erlang since forever. I don't m

Yeah, exactly. They were cut off from SWIFT and yet they do ample international trade. These think tank ideas from "domain experts" and political types rarely work in the real world. Russia, China and others do the same, block stu

Yeah, but just like all other bolt-on databases, now your vital data/biz logic is disconnected from the hot new VC database of the month's logic and you have to write balls of mud to connect it all. That's a very big tradeoff

Gemini is embarrassingly bad. It outright doesn’t work. I mean, it actually goes out and does stuff but it’s 100% of the time random. Even third-party forks of it work better (like Qwen Code), which is just wild.

Well, they aren’t. Never have been and never will be. Geopolitics is a ruthless game and those in the middle sometimes get crushed. Which is why you generally want natural borders (mountains, coast, etc).
