jaachan··on Every 5x5 Nonogram
This is fun! But with more progress made, finding a puzzle to solve will become the hardest path.

Maybe a heat map of all sections based on completion percentage? And maybe a way to jump to the first or a random unsolved puzzle once you've opened a section?

jaachan··on Ask HN: What's your preferred logging stack in Kubernetes
We migrated away from an Elastic stack to a Loki stack, and were able to store order of magnitude more data for less money. Maybe we did Elastic wrong, but we tried various managed solutions and always ran into limits. The new Loki stack has always given quicker answers too.
jaachan··on Ask HN: It's 2023, how do you choose between MySQL and Postgres?
We ran a Galera cluster for 4 days and it died on the first ALTER TABLE we did. Only option was to reduce it down to a Primary / Replica setup. I really can't recommend anyone using this.
jaachan··on Linode Outage in Dallas, Fremont, Atlanta, Newark, and Toronto Data Centers
Normally I'd agree, but... Have you seen today's status ? https://status.upcloud.com/ 6 hour downtime and no updates
jaachan··on Building Outer Wonders for Linux
I made an attempt to compile glibc myself when I ran into the same issue when playing Nebukadnezzar on steam. But that is no easy task. I think it's directly tied into the rest of Linux. Targeting an older version of glibc is much easier.

(Nebukadnezzar recommended using Proton, which worked fine.)

jaachan··on The right way to turn off your old APIs
Some of these suggestions (like the sleep(16)) also apply to non-HTTP APIs.

In fact, I find the headers part of the suggestion the least useful. No client will check these headers.

jaachan··on DNS Flag Day on February 1, 2019: check your domains
Testing my DNS server gets me:

    edns=ok edns1=noerror,badversion,soa
    ednsopt=ok edns1opt=noerror,badversion,soa
Wikipedia doesn't mention anything about EDNS versions, so I'm not sure what to make of it.
jaachan··on DNS Flag Day on February 1, 2019: check your domains
I can't really find a simple explanation of what this means. The warnings in the EDNS compliance tester aren't really helpful either. Is there a simple explanation somewhere?
jaachan··on Ask HN: What's the best tool you used to use that doesn't exist anymore?
I've got Clink for tab completion and other cmd fancies.

jaachan··on Code Keyboards
I really need a curved keyboard, typing on a straight one just feels cramped. Other than that, looks fancy.
jaachan··on The K-Cup Coffee Pod Problem
Anyone know how Keurig stands up to Senseo[1]? Those have pads that were biodegradable from the beginning. Also pads available from third parties, which is already validated by courts.

jaachan··on How Boston Removed Snow from Its Streets Throughout History
Boston is roughly at the same latitude as Barcelona, Spain O.o
jaachan··on Taiwanese startup Gogoro reveals an electric scooter designed for commuters
> which is probably why Tesla switched to it recently

"Tesla's Battery Swap Stations Will Help It Requalify For ZEV Credits In California"

Tesla would not make a profit without those credits.

jaachan··on JavaScript Internationalization API
Formatting is nice and all that, but if you have input fields, then parsing is equally important. I don't see any of that in this api.

Chrome tab has the title inverted as well
jaachan··on Ask HN: What would it take to put Dart in browsers?
Fix it? Fix what? Javascript is continuously rising up to the challenges of the web. What's there to fix?

"The most dangerous thing to a new invention is a current product that is 'good enough'."

jaachan··on Show HN: Battleboat.js – A robot that plays Battleship
I'm just getting "Please enable Javascript" Checking out the console I'm getting two "SecurityError: The operation is insecure." errors during the localStorage access, probably due to me disabling cookies. Can't find which domain the cookies are under so can't play it now.
jaachan··on “You Have Died of Dysentery”: History According to Video Games
Missing mention: Pharaoh & Emperor: Rise of the Middle Kingdom are two games following the history of Egypt and China (respectively)
jaachan··on Worse than the 1930s: Europe’s recession is really a depression
Summary:

  "It's a policy-induced disaster. ... eurocrats  .... the euro is standing between them and recovery ... Europe is stuck with a fixed exchange system that doesn't let them print, spend, or devalue their way out of a crisis"
There's no source or data for any of these claims, so you can skip the article. IMHO, it's just an anti-euro rant. Why wouldn't Europe be able to print money like the USA does? Article doesn't say.
jaachan··on Game of Hacks
I have no idea what most of those terms mean, no point in playing the quiz then
jaachan··on Game about squares
Ooh, good tip, thanks!
jaachan··on Game about squares
How's the stack work? I can't make it do anything else but move the blocks counterclockwise :/

Edit: Got it with stinos' comment

jaachan··on Comcast turns 50,000 paying customer homes into public hotspots
Either way you're paying...
jaachan··on Yahoo ends support of “Do Not Track”
DNT is not designed to protect everyone's privacy, it was meant a way to grow a clear sign that people don't want to be tracked. If browsers really wanted to protect people's privacy, they'd block 3rd party cookies by default and show 1st party cookies as a warning.
jaachan··on Yahoo ends support of “Do Not Track”
Then we can invent in a proper paywall, something that works unintrusively. And then users are the customers again, and we can get our internet back.
jaachan··on Show HN: Space Frack, a fracking game in space
How come I lose when the two robots are in contact? Or, for that matters, when a person walks to me when I'm drilling, I get the PR backlash?
jaachan··on Brussels court bans Uber, imposes 10,000 euro fine for every violation

    Uber, which did not appear in court
O.o If you don't appear in court, you lose. It's like that every time. This is overblown.
jaachan··on The 49-U6U Slaughterhouse
There's a lot of rebalancing going on ATM, I think they're doing rather well.
