If anyone from Apple is reading, let me just say – this is exactly what I want. Magsafe charging. Function keys instead of the touchbar. 15-16" screen. M1 CPU. 32GB Memory. I also prefer the 2015 keyboard, but it's not a dealbreak

Well cheers. That's honestly such a pleasure to hear, especially on HN of all places. So glad you had a good time.

Mostly normal stuff; node.js, postgres, redis, some react, Sourcemod/c++ for the in-game management. Nothing overtly fancy nor magical.

I charge users 5 bucks a month to host unlimited matches (just 1 person out of 10 pays). I could charge more, but since I don't have the overhead of a large company, I can get by with less and my users get an extremely affordable produ

My company is ran similarly; though I never raised VC and bootstrapped my way to profitability over 5 years as a solo founder. I provide a simple platform for people to play their friends on high quality CS:GO servers, while keeping track o

I don't think anyone experiences quiet in Manhattan. Doing it on the platform is generally considered acceptable by all; doing it on the train leads to mixed responses, but NYers just kind of accept it, despite any muttering under thei

I'd offer a more expensive version with the neural options available. Maybe offer a monthly subscription so people can give it a try with a smaller commitment. Just because you might not think that it's worth it, doesn't mean

Is this multi currency or USD only? Does this mean I can store EUR alongside USD via my Stripe checkout sales, instead of being forced to convert immediately?

I downvoted you because your first comment was "Hellosign is a joke." solely due to the aforementioned bug. Then you edited your comment. You ran into a bug in some web software. It happens. Sounds like it was already fixed. Mea

Sure, but getting ignored or people moving on is hardly exclusive to Small Tech. In my experience, it's far more prevalent in growth-heavy startups than in small businesses.

This is something I've ruminated on a lot – but frankly, I'm in no way qualified to understand or make sense of it. The two things that I often come back to are: 1) the pathways that infrastructure would run through have more &quo

If a customer is looking for you specifically, they will find you (e.g. "hubble data" as stated above). If they are looking for a "data quality monitor" then the SEO will need to reflect that. The name is largely irrelev

I had the exact same reaction. Sticking Angular in there with no mention of Backbone is revisionist history. Backbone was everywhere . ES6 doesn't coalesce without Coffeescript either. Firebug is another glaring omission. What about n

Not quite. Next allows you to dynamically generate static content both at build time – and with this latest update – at _runtime_ as well. It generates code-split bundles for each page, enabling extremely thin pages to minimize the amount o

You're not totally wrong, but think of it this way. You have native support in your application stack for this static 'caching' along with one-click edge distribution. Which means you can write extremely complex, interactive

I played this game a bunch in the mid 2000s. A sizeable number of people that I played with went on to serve in the military, evidently due to their experience playing the game. So, anecdotally, it was effective.

I would really love if this displayed the bundle size of each package (a la bundlephobia[0]). I'm not quite sure I understand how or why this is a business, but there certainly is some base level of utility value. I have a feeling this
