Just for posterity's sake, I was not crazy. This is what DO answered: DigitalOcean Support Thursday, March 11, 2021 7:21 PM Hello there, thank you for contacting DigitalOcean. I understand you are unable to connect to your

You’re right but your service could be exposed with a public API and still have your library public. I think the best of both worlds is to have an open-source library and a service. People can choose the one they prefer. And you can still m

You are so right and it’s sad to see.

You’re right that I’ve gained a few pounds and look older. Obviously I was exagerating to make a point. But I guess it’s all about the 72% which means it far from perfect, but still better than a coin toss.

My political orientiations have changed a few times over the last 10 years but my face hasn’t. This can’t actually work...

There’s definitely been improvements in cryptocurrencies since Bitcoin was launched. I’m a big fan of Cardano for example which is led by a scientific community and not apes posting diamond hands and rockets. Sadly it seems like the network

I feel you 100%. The timing of this post is near perfect with what is happening in my life. I run my own web server with email hosting for clients. I’ve spent the last few years doing everything I can on the deliverability side but with no

Even that quote would be ridiculous. There must be 10,000’s serious cloud providers.

I’d be careful about premature optimization. If you can write your code 2x faster by using jQuery, by all means do it. Eventually, if needed, you could rewrite your JS to be free of jQuery, but it would not be a priority for me. Dev speed i

Sabine is known for that kind of sense of humour. She is actually critical of the scientific elites.

Has anyone noticed how having books in your background on Zoom calls seems to have become a status symbol? I see it all the times recently.

I might argue that it’s their recipe to success. Their UIs, from Amazon.com to AWS are pretty intuitive and content-oriented. It’s their style and it works for them.

Text as an interface definitely has great potential. But users will not learn all the commands for your little application. The author uses examples of MS Excel and Slack which are used by millions every day. I love the concept of the comma

From an engineer perspective there is a learning opportunity that can’t be underestimated. If you have free time to build it’s always interesting how much you can grow by doing it yourself. However, if you are working for a startup and time

I had a similar client early in my career. Working for him was a love/hate relantionship. He tripled my hourly rate telling me my time was highly valuable but then had very high standards and aggressive timelines.

The biggest challenge for the antitrust lawyers in this case will be to outline consumer harm. In more traditional cases harm is measured in dollars. Here it will have to be measured in privacy, free speech, etc. And that’s a much harder ca

And the same could be said for the electrical grid, the post services, roads, etc. I agree that infrastructure and monopoly are two very distict concepts.

Seriously... I use Trello for small project management because of it's simplicity. I wish it had stayed fully detached from Atlassian.

Exactly this. We’ve also been doing this forever. If I go somewhere and someone has a runny nose and is coughing, I am going to stay away. Nothing new here. COVID is different in the sense that we assume everyone has it. We distance from he

Listening to that argument is a clear “catch 22”. If he quits his job, it’s not much of a stance but obviously staying is not a stance either. What was he supposed to do? I think that in a capitalist country we choose who we buy from and wh

The problem here is context. I can’t imagine an algo that would get it correct 100% of the time on the first run. An actual assistant would learn from and adapt to you. Making a mistake is ok but you can’t repeat the mistake over and over.

I agree with you. That’s what I like about HN. I often read comments here that would be detailed and interesting enough to be blog articles. Most of the time the comments are even better than the original content. As for content discovery I
