   I'm sure those ads are for pill-mills (similar to chat-based "therapy" [1]) where you chat with a licensed MD (probably receiving kickbacks) for 5 minutes and get a prescription for those substances. [1]: https://w

   I wish there was an easy way to handle subscriptions with crypto. Like if MetaMask or other wallet apps agreed on a "pull-based" billing system. That would probably never happen, but I can dream. As an operator, I'd also want

   Saw this at the top of HN for seconds and it just got completely wiped. What's going on there?

   Why'd you downvote me for asking a question? Or are you personally affiliated with the libraries? My issue with Fiber is the documention.

   Is there an HTTP server library built on top of this? I'm getting tired of Fiber/FastHTTP.

   I'm hoping @jart does something like this with Redbean[1], just because it's a nicely encapsulated Lua + SQLite framework in itself. [1]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31764521

   I agree. I went through a phase with Acme and truly loved the UX/DX.

    This is why we need WebAuthn[1] supporting browser-side encryption using passkeys (or any other secure enclave)[2]. Relying on servers to encrypt data for you will be seen as comical 5 years from now. [1]: https://blog.millerti.m

    As someone who cares about latency, why would I add an additional HTTP request to the request my users are making? I can just use an in-memory store to achieve the same thing under 1ms. 10ms is an eternity, and 100ms added on to every reque

    That's what I'm saying. Passwords should probably have a reasonable limit like 72 bytes.

    You can restrict who can message you first ("start a conversation") to Contacts on Telegram, not sure how spam is an issue. I hope Signal does the same thing.

    That's the plan. I said "blindside" because for the majority of the 20 contractors, this is their only work and they live normal lives in LatAm. But the actual business doesn't make sense anymore, unfortunately.
