franz899··on Deno Desktop
Their comparison page shows some savings, but not in every case (~40 MB / ~150 MB) https://docs.deno.com/runtime/desktop/comparison/
franz899··on Ruby for Good
They did it for speed, and Go was the language with the closest syntax to migrate to.
franz899··on Fast Minimalist Writing Tool
I use https://ia.net/writer. It does the job and supports templates for quick export to HTML or PDF.
franz899··on WebAssembly from Scratch: From FizzBuzz to DooM
WebAssembly's purpose was never to replace JavaScript but only to speed up certain parts of a website/app.
franz899··on 25 Gbit/sec residential FTTH in Switzerland [German]
I don't think we were ever "fine" with 56k, but I think we reached a good speed with 1Gb/s. It will be more than enough for most households until everything we do will scale up in resolution.
franz899··on Saying Good Bye to Hey.com
I didn't renew mine either. My two main reasons are the mess they caused a few weeks ago and how bad the search is. HEY has a great feature that lets you merge multiple threads under one name, but they do not have a higher weight over any other email subject or body. I've found myself lost in a long list of non-relevant emails when searching for a merge thread name, having to scroll email after email; how can they not give a higher weight to a custom string that I chose? All of this on a less than one-year-old archive, I don't know how this system can work overtime.
franz899··on Ask HN: Dark mode for HN please?
Thank you, it looks good

I've added this code to fix the reply textarea colour:

.fatitem textarea { background-color: #232834; color: #fafafa; }

franz899··on Ask HN: How do you process payments?
Stripe's Payment Intent API

All done via serverless functions, for both initialisation and confirmation(via Stripe's webhooks).

franz899··on How Amazon Web Services Uses Formal Methods (2015) [pdf]
I recommend "Practical TLA+" too; it introduces TLA+ in a more approachable way than other resources.

franz899··on Why Did ProtonMail Vanish from Google Search Results? (2016)
Sharing an article from an amp page when talking about Google manipulating search results is quite the touch.
