People on here just can't seem to comment without the political cheap-shots. Believe it or not, you can enjoy a thing/place/etc without "americanizing" it (making everything political). I thought Istanbul was amazin

Step 1 is useless for b2b products, and actually, a huge time waster. It will attract the very worst "customers" with near 0 chance of converting. Can work for b2c, however.

What did I even just read? Is this an AI response? I'm lost...

You can ask it for alternative methods and even to document their pros and cons.

Try Cursor. I’m serious.

This is insane clown town stuff and echos "not-see" ideology. One of the core tenants of western democracy is we don't do collective punishment (racial, language, cultural or otherwise).

Ah, you're Polish (or Ukrainian?). Now I get it.

The US has more than twice the population of Russia and didn't collapse in 1991 and have to crawl back from sub-Saharan Africa economic conditions, so of course America has more. And there's a reason the US Navy backed off from Ho

"It's okay that Putin is president for life, it's in their constitution - why can't Americans (especially Americans) wrap their head around that!"

Where do you think those big missile barrages are coming from - Black Sea dolphins? You clearly spend too much time on reddit - sure, their carrier, Mosvka and that sub were ancient. But their recent boats are capable and pack a lot of offe

Your response comes across as racist even if you did not intend it that way. Very much a "us civilized noble Europeans vs those Asiatic / brown savages" vibe.

Carriers are great at projecting power against poor people but sitting ducks against a near peer. And you probably know about the UKs recent propulsion system boondoggle… Anyways, they just launched this very potent sub yesterday as well as

I agree with this position and actively avoid AWS complexity.

Anecdotal - but I once worked for a company where the product line I built for them after acquisition was delayed by 5 months because that's how long it took to get the hardware ordered and installed in the datacenter. Getting it up on

The fact is, managing your own hardware is a pita and a distraction from focusing on the core product. I loathe messing with servers and even opt for "overpriced" paas like fly, render, vercel. Because every minute messing with an

Erlang has its quirks but Elixir at least is an order of magnitude easier to learn than Rust or Java.

Here’s my once a month comment that I should probably put on autopilot: “at least half of show HN posts are just reimplementations of what already exits in Erlang/Elixir”.

Funny, the only time I ever got made fun of as a southern kid using y'all was when visiting Toronto suburbs (back in the 1990s).

I also dislike Activerecord. The solution to a lot of this is creating database views and interfacing with that.

Before farming technology like tractors, 97% of people worked the fields on come capacity. Now it’s the inverse. Technology frees human potential from drudgery.

Yep, hn being engineer heavy, there’s a strong bias against marketing and sales. But that is what actually pays the bills, at least for us non-VC funded companies slugging it out in the real world.

The vast majority of software does not need to be these crazy complex distributed things. Anyways, there's several flavors of Postgres if the need arises.

Okay, so please enlighten us, then. Which extendable open source modern database is the new hotness?
