Another +1 for Digital Ocean. Been using them for years for basic VPS services. $6 flat gets you a simple VM and $4 gets you one with half (I think) the specs, but it could be fine for really simple stuff. Nice and simple UI.

One MMO tech I always got a kick out of was WoW using Bit Torrent for updates at a time when it was massive and that bandwidth would have been brutal to output.

I'm all for the concept. I'd be interested to see how it pans out. There are a few key things that I'm skeptical, but hopeful for. 1. The scope being limited to Ikea feels like it would decrease the user base notably enough w

This argument has come up a lot since ChatGPT released. I can agree that new tools (like LLMs) can have a place in education, potentially. That said, learning the foundation of anything you do is critical to understanding the higher levels

I can see what you mean, but you do have the option to install EGS on your PC, you just choose not to. There was no way to install a separate app store on iOS. FWIW, I also prefer Steam and dislike needing EGS, but I have the option to inst

It's a hard question to answer. Not all systems are equal in size, scope, and impact. K8s as a system is often the core of your infra, meaning everything running will be impacted. That coupled with their team constraints in the article

I'm in a similar boat. I'm rocking 3600 that I purchase in Feb 2020. I'd love a reason to upgrade, but I really can't justify it for my personal machine. It still does everything I want faster than I'd like. I'

AMD has been doing really well on their CPU side the last few years, but with Intel's recent issues at the some time as Zen 5, I have to imagine this is going to be a good time for them going forward. I remember when AMD was the budget

Yeah POSIX standardizes a bunch of tools, mostly the ones you'd expect (cut, cat, file, etc). I agree with the conservative standardization for the most part, but I selfishly would love these more niche tools to be available on a fresh

$640M of fundraising seems notable enough for this level of HN attention.

It would be fantastic if Age (or at least something similar) could become standard on Unix machines. I'd love a more Unix-philosophy following tool than GPG/PGP to be around for encryption. That said, I don't think new standa

Completely agree on tests. It's much more enjoyable for me to write some automated tests (unit or integration) and be able to re-run them over and over again than it is for me to manually run some HTTP requests against the server or so

Incredible blog. I've said it on this site before, but his series on regular expressions is insanely high quality and the fact he just posted it there for all of us is a huge privilege.

I can agree to an extent, but I think a lot of this can be mitigated by having tight, isolated connections between parts of a system where each result can be validated. Then you can address each step/service in isolation based on the i

To add to this as well, this can be disabled, but it's on by default for new applicants. They can put a limit on the charge cards as well, so it can be almost an ambiguously limited credit card now. That said, I don't think being

So cool! I'm ordering a few of these after rework tonight. Out of curiosity, how do you handle printing? DIY? POD? Order in bulk and ship yourself? I'm always so interested in how people handle physical product sales at a small sc

Also a Buffalo native! I'm interested if this experience was universal, but in elementary school, it felt like we had a history unit about the Erie Canal every year. I must've had three field trips over the years to see the Lockpo

I have an extremely rudimentary dual boot. I installed windows first and then followed the live install for Ubuntu to set up the dual boot. Been running great for 4.5 years. I don't mind the extra 3ish minutes to switch between the OSs

I hadn't heard of this podcast until just now, but an entire show dedicated to software book sounds like a dream come true! I'm going to download a few of these for the train. I love that you guys are diving into such a niche!

I'm not invested, but slightly bullish on Ladybird here. I'm a FireFox user of the last five years, but I'm all ears for a non-chromium competitor. I'm glad that it seems they're building a truly independent engine

This is a _dense_ book (in the best way). So much incredible history that's not as well presented anywhere else I've found. Sitting at 500+ pages and the font is pretty damn small, this is one hell of an informative book. We reall

Love my QC25s. I got them in mid 2018 and they have been great since. I replace the earpads ever 2-3 years when they blow out, but that's been like $6 each time. After I got a $25 bluetooth adapter for them, I've stopped wanting t

Huh, I don't have any experience in other countries with this, but I guess I've never thought about how easy our return policies are. What's it like from your (or other's) part of the world?

I really liked Mastering Regular Expressions by Jeffrey Friedl. He goes in depth on what they are (with a bit of FSA background) and how a regex engine works. It helps conceptualize what's going on and how to know what your specific re

I've seen this kind of take get a lot of hate online, but I do agree (ignoring any of the parent post's specifics). I think using AI is fine, but if you get output and you don't have the ability to validate it or look at it c
