I really don't think you appreciate how much time is still ahead of you. If you start now to do the things you want to do, you will be just fine. Even ahead because for lots of people it takes much longer to figure out what they want.

Why is electricity spiking in Europe? Is this compensation for Gas being scarce due to the war?

Commuting is a giant waste of resources no question about it. Also most companies would probably work remote only just fine. That being said, I totally get why you would want people in the office if you are very ambitious, doing creative or

Autodesk are just the worst offenders. I hope Blender will thrive (even more) and CAD software will follow the lead.

Sometimes your application has multiple instances even on the same machine. Scripting languages like Node or Python don‘t share memory. With Redis they can share state in a high-performance manner.

This really reminds me of that bit from Luis C.K where people annyoed by crying babies make it about themselves. "I have two daughters and both of them at one time were babies and I held them and they cried on planes. It’s happened to

While Supabase and their communication/blogs are excellent, the Twitter is not at the same level. I’d much rather have product updates and community QA over that cringy memespam. Feels like it was tried to adapt to the medium but the s

Wow, there is only about a hundred (scrollcounted on mobile) people with more than 10k karma? Talk about life goals. You can do that.

The one issue that I have with HN is that the vote buttons are too small on mobile. Apart from that, the page is clean, fast and accessible. Others should take notes.

That's great. But why can't it show the current altitude while scrolling?

NVIDIA gets a lot of flak (and rightfully so) but CUDA is a really approachable API. Considering how much complexity it encapsulates, it could be a lot worse. The concurrency primitives, C(++) integration and memory management are quite goo

I don't know. I default to GKE for all new deployments. It really reduces the mental overhead of infrastructure for me. I can add services, cronjobs and whatnot as I see fit in a standardized manner and don't worry about. A couple

Thank you! This little comment just saved me an hour of investigation. Good luck for getting the system back up asap.

I got the first edition and it was transformative. Finally the connection between electricity, computers and modern communication was made. This all while being a fun-easy read. If it was not for this book I would never have started going d

There is only two kinds of people. The ones that don't like Tailwind and the ones that have used it. I know it is conceptually "wrong" and a bunch of well crafted CSS classes would be more elegant. In the end it works, works

That sounds great, Can you recommend any specific parts?

I am glad there is some innovation happening. If you compare redshift to BigQuery it feels quite archaic in the current production version. I understand that Google commands a metric ton of engineering excellence, yet the difference should

I recently photographed a Tiger (The big cat, in the Zoo...) with the iPhone 13 Pro Camera. It looked like a comic drawing with exaggerated stripes and weird artifacts in the face. The whole pipeline from the photons hitting the sensor of t

Yes I agree that there are special considerations for e.g OLED where I also prefer pitch-black background. My argument was just that the medium can hugely influence the design and needs to be taken into consideration. Also books are kind of

Using Medium is way worse for readability than using grey text. Long body text should have sufficient contrast and good typography. Using only maximum contrast for all text "just because it worked for books" is bad advice. Not onl

This mirrors my experience. By making the opinionated choice for Postgres it is possible to use e.g functions and triggers to replace a lot of code that would normally live in the backend. It is quite common to come from ORM-land and treat

The little secret differentiator to the big clouds is the outgoing bandwidth cost which is $0.01/GB compared to e.g $0.13/GB on AWS. This did luckily not change with the new prices.

Last time I checked it there was a docker-compose file for local deployment but you had to translate that to a working production env on your own. Which would include setting up the database, setting up Kong on edge-gateway, figuring out se

Congratulations, it is well deserved! I have been using SB for the past couple months and its great! In my experience what they excel at is picking really good components (Postgres, PostgREST, Elixir, Kong, Gotrue, Logflare etc) and packag

Lets take a moment to appreciate that obnoxious auto-playing video that covers half the screen on mobile. Bonus points for it staying there when scrolling. I am really wondering what it will take to make the web more like wikipedia and less

I should have added “free” and “variable”. Of course there are better fonts with respect to various details or simply taste.
