Stick your site behind cloudflare, you'll get geographically distributed caching for free. It's currently very slow as if you are serving it from your basement.

Great stuff - I built a web based protein model viewer in 1997 (maybe 96), it used VRML for the 3D view and queried a database called SRS.

This is mainly using "stupidity" as a catch all term for mass disagreement/apathy (often motivated by bias, mixed with ignorance) in the face of facts, plus the lack of applied reasoning and empathy - simply not thinking, des

Ha yeah it didn't occur to me that it looked like a video but I can see it now, yes it's really running dos and if you quit it takes to C:\ (using js-dos) Alas it appears this wasn't of interest to HN as it never made it past

This was written in Turbo Pascal on a Olivetti M15 I got for 50 pounds (overpaid probably). It had 2 floppy drives and no hard disk: https://oldcrap.org/2024/04/18/olivetti-m15/

It's right, AI does require giving up control and letting things be done differently, depends how much you really use it. It's the same when you get a junior dev to work on things, it's just not how you would do it yourself a

Cool. Conventional hardwoods can be pretty unfriendly to wood working tools, I wonder what the requirements are for cutting and drilling this stuff.

I feel like this is quite a complex style to implement in terms of layout and animation, especially while still taking into account accessible colors etc, but we'll see.

I just use Copilot (across VS Code, VS etc), it lets you pick the model you want and it's a fixed monthly cost (and there is a free tier). They have most of the core features of these other tools now. Cursor, Windsurf et al have no &qu

Nostalgia: My first job in 1997 was a windows apps in C++, it was weather software used on ships and oil rigs, we used to ship updates on floppy disk via helicopter.

Ironically the style of this site lets it down, the 2006 look (post-css, pre-gradients and big buttons) makes it feel like it's an outdated framework.

Cool but the docs links should take you to the docs, not the github source of the docs. Expected a demo link of each thing.

Sure thing, but I went on a skiing holiday once 20 yrs ago and I have virtually no recollection of any of it, apart from a sense of slushy snow.

Always good to start the discussion but the article doesn't seems to link to an issue on the Ladybird github repo, which I would expect in the case of academic disclosure etc. Obviously nobody is really using Ladybird yet and there wil

Reminds me a little of Node-Red, for me coding is just easier than connecting boxes but it would be cool if someone cracked the visual programming route.

Pretty sure this only refers to publicly trusted certs. What percentage of public certs are still being manually managed? I've been in the cert automation industry for 8 years ( https://certifytheweb.com ) and I do still hear
