I am really trying to use DDG more but I dunno, it's not very good in my experience. Specifically these use cases fail: * When searching for local business / places. * When searching for something I want to buy. * The ne

However in the case when they both get 0 requests, the Lambda solution costs $0 and the Micro instance still costs $4. That's a really nice advantage for starting a new project where you're confident in unit economics but have unk

Food may be cheaper than ever but there are also hundreds of millions of people who can barely afford to eat. Any plan to intentionally raise the price of food across the board will result in millions of people being at risk of malnutrition

Someone, somewhere has to be able to make a better alternative to Goodreads right? The site is slow, ugly, and buggy. The functionality is so simple: I tell you when I read a book and what I think about it. I'm just shocked Amazon ha

For anyone who hasn't tried tailwind I really suggest that you give it a shot. It's made me 2-5x more productive when styling something from scratch.

I had the exact same experience. I was one of the youngest people in my year and one of the worst players on my team. Until my age 13 season, when they wouldn't let me move up into the teenager league because of a one=month differenc

Is there any other reputable site for a US citizen to buy crypto quickly with a credit card or bank account? I have used Coinbase for lack of alternatives. It's awful. Every time I sign in (a few times a year) there's some new p

That's a great metaphor, I make apps just for myself or a few friends sometimes and this is exactly how I feel about it. For instance I made an app called "YourSquare" that's just like FourSquare but 100% private and loc

It seems like every PM has a slightly different job from every other PM, even at the same company. Across companies there's absolutely no comparison. What I've noticed at Google is that through a combination of personality and bu

There are definitely problems with the open office but one thing I can say is that there is truly a different energy to the office when it's open and people can chat spontaneously. Some of my best projects have started this way, as ha

Ok since we have a lot of TS people here maybe someone can help me out. Let's say I have a simple interface with a few fields. I want to make sure incoming JSON conforms to that interface. I realize at runtime the interface isn't

There is a lot of negativity in this thread ... let me try to show why this is a big deal. Cars and car owners have had completely unchecked rights in American cities for decades. Cities are congested with traffic, sidewalks are small and

Edit: a lot of people are asking how I am working on a cross-platform app but I can't afford an iPhone / Mac to test on. To be clear I did resolve this situation with the Apple ID by asking an iOS-focused teammate of mine to test

I work at Google (on Firebase) but I am asking this question as a regular mobile developer. What do people on HN find acceptable in the apps they use? As a developer I want some basic analytics and crash reporting so I'm not just stum

I repeatedly get scam calls from a fake "Verizon" that show up on my caller ID as Verizon on my Verizon phone. When I call back I end up talking to the REAL Verizon who basically say "oh yeah that thing ... we'll never

Traffic laws are the only laws most people (in any country) will disregard willingly without feeling like a criminal. So illegal != taken seriously. In Spain it was both.

I tried to do a Sign in with Apple integration on Android (wanted the app to have the same options across platforms). Testing on Android was next to impossible. To test I needed an Apple ID with 2FA. But SMS 2FA was not good enough, you ne

I recently drove around Spain for 2 weeks. My first significant international driving experience. I was shocked at how seriously they took the rule of only passing on the left. Every single car in the right line was driving slower than e

Been doing Android development for 8+ years. The main thing to realize is that nobody actually knows what they're doing. You'll have a problem and spend hours and hours just searching for "the answer" but it's not

I've been an Android user and developer for 10 years. THIS is the thing. Smoothness. Android claims it's equal between an iPhone and a flagship Android device but it's not even close. It seems Android just is not willing&#

I hope they sell this to cities. We would seriously regret the privatization of public transit.

I would love for this to exist but don't really trust Cruise to get there. I see their cars around SF every day and almost always see someone with hands on the wheel. And one time I ran into one in self driving mode in an area with co

You can't tell people what to eat. Figure out how to tell the market to tell them what to eat. What's next, banning the dollar menu at McDonald's? When something is the last resort, like dollar store food, taking it away do

When you say food is "expensive" that has to factor in preparation time. That's what makes processed food so "cheap" is that it's pretty much ready to eat, at most needs 5m in the microwave. Yes if you buy bul

In San Francisco (so at the center of the bubble) I've been shocked by the adoption of the AirPods pro. I see them everywhere now and they've only been out for two months or so. Add the regular AirPods in and they're downri

People keep mentioning this point and I'm a little confused. In 2020 a non-user-replaceable battery seems to be the standard situation for all my electronics, not just AirPods. I'm not saying it's a good thing I just don&#x

Yeah the Man Booker in particular tends to be a good source to find my favorite novels.

Spanish-language novels translated to English is reliably my favorite category of books. I think with a good translator the beauty of the language carries through. (I speak some Spanish but not enough to read a whole book)

I don't really have a process. About half the books I read I get just from browsing a book store. I love stores that have little notes from the employees recommending certain books. The others I just hear about from friends or onlin

Yes. I have always loved books. I read about 30-40 a year, mostly fiction with a few non-fiction thrown in. Novels are the closest thing I know to a form of magic. A good author can completely encode an entire world full of people on 300 p
