Did you by any chance purchase periods at a discount... and are you trying to unload them on HN with your comments..............?

we received one single sms in NL via our fancy alert system that gave a warning I don't even remember. we're definitely not doing all that much altogether, other than slowly ramping up the quarantining as things get worse (with a

As a general response to this thread: it's a big problem over here in The Netherlands that apparently tons of people are not properly practicing 'social distancing'. There have been quite a few frustrating images shared that

If my experience with 'southern' cultures is anything to go by, the amount of interaction between young and old people probably plays a huge role. For comparison, I live in NL and for me and the vast majority of my 20-30-something

I remember spending hours playing with the level editor as a kid. Then, as a teenager, I spent hours building levels for a moderately successful Unreal Tournament mod/total conversion. Was mind-blowing to find out the same guy was behi

I suppose it might be possible to get 'ahead of the curve' by having a confirmed infected person sneeze directly in your face, but yeah, it would royally suck to end up needing an ICU in a week or two from now. Doesn't seem w

I generally try to take comments on their own merits, but I ruthlessly downvote comments that complain about being downvoted.

Ha, I'm seeing the same thing over here in NL. All the bread and milk gone, while there's plenty of canned food. No toilet paper, pre-packaged meals and other processed foods, but plenty of fruits and veggies. People are weird.

So you were correctly 'stereotyped' and decide that the best response is to complain about that?

I'm not even entirely unsympathetic to that line of thought, but the big problem is that my parents and grandparents are in the risk group too, and they're in no way in the 'I got mine', 'Ok Boomer', 'fuck

From what I understand, 'slowing it down' is really important, so we can't really tell quite yet how necessary the lockdown in China was. Sure, the virus isn't contained and it will probably return. But how many lives we

I think that's one of my 'favorite' saddest episodes/storylines in Scrubs. That and the ones with Brandon Fraser.

Agreed!

Fair enough. I think many HN users, myself included, primarily look at the headlines and not at the domain though.

From what I understand the number of open websocket connections is not really much of an issue, because this is one of the things Phoenix/Elixir excel at. Memory might become an issue though, I suppose. Every user's state will be

Is there any way I could convince you to stop clogging up the internet pipes with comments that seem to solely focus on 'pipes' and 'warehouses'? Surely there are other things that you care about and could contribute to

This is one of the (many) reasons why I've started using Phoenix LiveView for all the projects, when I can, that need either partial or full client-side functionality. By simply keeping all the state, logic, and rendering on the server

Not a fan either, but at least it allows you to repeat the keystroke to do a native page search.

I don't use tmux locally, but I find iTerm2+Tmux invaluable when it comes to managing my servers. for each of them I have an ssh command that automatically opens all the windows and panes for that particular server. It even persists co

While I feel you downplay the issue too much, I do agree with this. There are better sources than Eric Feigl-Ding with less ridiculous names.
