Looks like Samsung is adding the Grammarly functionality to their built-in (still an app, technically) keyboard in an upcoming update, or they already have. So now, very likely, both Samsung and Grammarly have access to everything you type

Not the wisdom I was expecting to find in this HN post, but it absolutely is the perfect description for when someone can be considered a "professional" of anything.

Being entirely honest, I clicked the "open pop-up" button, heard the sound effect, and immediately discredited the rest of the site.

_You_ don't communicate like this, but the reviews & chat logs at my company are proof that people 100% do type like this. A lot of older people are really just looking for someone to talk to it seems, so yes, they will type out 90

Oh hey, Discord must have seen this article -- their favicon is down to 14k now.

But when it is used they'll have telemetry on errors that occur during the restore process. So hopefully the next person doesn't have to deal with the same issues that the first did.

One of my favorite parts of that video is how he goes into how stupid an idea those "Tide Pods but for dishwashers" are. They don't do nearly as good of a job cleaning in my experience, and missing the whole pre-rinse is like

Hey OP, in case it wasn't clear from my original comment, I am impressed with how stable your site is! "A few seconds" is wonderful for a #1 post, and far better than what usually happens to lightly-hosted sites that get to t

We're using Next.js at my current company with a custom MongoDB based CMS. Next has a thing called Incremental Static Regeneration[0] which allows us to grab the top ~100 pages from the CMS at build time, generate the pages, then cache

Haven't used Varnish myself directly, but yeah that would also work. For OP, I'd also be interested to see the benchmarks between this £4 server, and a £8 or £10 one, same stack.

I don't have a "Do all These for a Fast Website" list handy, but here are some key points I've found can be applied to most sites: - Make sites that are fast by default: Small bytes sent over the wire, beyond just initia

For sure, OP's site is handling this much better than most. And like I said, it's not every time that it takes multiple seconds. Some websites featured on HN/Reddit don't load at all when under load. However I was able t

It would also be possible for OP to spin up their own Redis cache, and have multiple POPs near their target audience, and handle DoS type attacks against their site if need be, and easily be able to brush aside bot traffic, and... Not all t

Working in the space, that's one of the more frustrating things to see on HN/Reddit/etc. It's not a complex or niche thing, and especially for sites that only make profit when people can actually visit them, it's ki

I understand your excitement for being able to handle a decent amount of requests on such a small server, but just like many other websites that get on the frontpage of HN, your site is taking multiple seconds to load for me, depending on w

Exactly my reaction to opening the site. I had no idea what the content of the site was (besides the title from HN) and around the 50% download point, I had already lost interest. I'm clearly not the only one who loses interest this qu

> Minifying stops users from copying the code your site uses for their own sites Exactly. There are countless JS-powered sites that for any multitude of reasons don't want it to be easy to extract their code. Ignoring whether or not

OP never claimed that those with low income shouldn't pay lower rent, they simply claimed that "Landlord tech" is not good for those individuals. Someone is allowed to see the benefits to certain things while also realizing t

Unfortunately I can't find a direct reference on any Valve official channels, but I'd say that typing on a Steam Controller is quite good; I'd even go so far to say that it's going to be hard to beat it for keyboard inpu

If OCR is required, then why not just put the link in plaintext? Makes it even easier to be read by humans.
