Last time I was trying to be authentically me my response triggered a whole sub-thread about me using the word "subvention" and how funny Europeans sounds to Americans. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I know this is a hobby project, but the whole appeal of Flipper Zero is that you can get one for $200 and it instantly grants you a seat on Joe Rogan or Shawn Ryan show where you can wave it front of camera, flip a switch and say "all

Back in the days we used to troll GMs at conventions with stuff like that. Can I cast invisibility or cloak? Can I use levitation? And roughly how large rock can I create with a create element earth spell? Alright, so my character's na

I was talking about a brand new car at the dealership. A used car is completely different can of worms.

I had my childhood heroes who were working on one of the first major app in Elbonia who helped me learn programming. I remember asking them some 10-15 years later to help me with a project and they were like "sure, we'll do it Cak

oh, and to add to your vocabulary - the word pathetic, especially around Elbonia, can be used with the intention of saying something is full of "pathos".

You are correct. I actually double checked the word "subvention" on google to see if I'm not misspelling it and the results said I was correct. But yes, I used that word because it was direct translation from my language. Oth

Last year we bought a car. While not being a petrol head I was still living in a lala land where you could buy a brand new car for 10k EUR. Nothing fancy, just "a car". Obviously it turned out to be not true. After some digging it

You're likely right. I bet you are. But for a side gig that may or may not pop stuff like Auth0/Clerk is absolutely god send. Auth is hard. Compliance around it is hard. Bad actors deterrence is hard. Sure, I can roll my own auth

After your post I made it back to logto to see that I've already have account in their system. Then I looked around and I still have no clue what their offering is about. Seriously, it's so "AI", "MCP", "S

I get what you're saying, but the same can be said about any 3rd party vendor. Even if you host your app on AWS or CloudFlare you can face some major downtimes like recently. Sure it's less likely for AWS to go out of business tha

A homegrown Plex. After a lot of grief trying to make Plex and jellyfish to work with my collection, and then some more with the community [1] I decided to make my own. There's no selling point and clear pathway to monetize, as other s

I'm really glad it found it way to top of HN, probably not for the first time. Well deserved. Between Fabians dissections and Indigos trove of wisdom it's one of my favourite personal website. It strikes perfect balance between &q

Reminds me of that one recruiter: - I need to run a quick survey on your tech, ok? - But you have my CV, it should be rather obvious if I fit or not. Doh. Whatever. - Perfect. How many years of experience you have with JavaScript?

I'm not sold on Better Auth. Recently I wanted to add auth to my pet project, and between (a) using better-auth, then integrating 3rd party mailer service, and rolling out my main dashboard (b) leeching off free tier of Auth0 or C

For video it's not as easy as it takes way more compute and requires hardware support. You can take any random device and it will be able to decode h264 at 4k. h265 not so much. As for av1 - my Ryzent 5500GT released in 2024 does not s

I always think about BlackBerry as another Kodak. They owned their space in their time, nothing came close, and then, one day, times have changed and their product become obsolete. I don't blame them. It's cool to sit on HN and th

The biggest problem today is ownership . There are dozen of games that made headlines 5 years ago that you can't play today because servers are down. Some of those games are single player only. You can't host these games like you

Couple "3D" games shipped before Doom. Battlezone comes to mind. The difference is that id owned the natural progression (from Wolf3D through Doom to Quake) and laid foundation to what we call today a FPS genre.
