nik736··on Blockchain.com cuts 25% workforce amid crypto bear market
I wouldn't say that. I know of people who took debt to get crypto because "the return will be much higher".
nik736··on Felt
Using Firefox their maps are taking a long time to load after each pan and zoom. lol.
nik736··on Ask HN: Alternatives to Cloudflare?
What exactly are you using Cloudflare for?
nik736··on Ask HN: How does HN manage to be always online?
A single bare metal server is more reliable than most people think it is. Complexity adds a lot of overhead and layer after layer that could possibly fail.
nik736··on Redis To Go is shutting down
Weird, maybe they want to get rid of the free tier?
nik736··on Gitea – a painless self-hosted Git service
I am using Gitea + Drone for several years now and couldn't be happier. Stable, fast and it justs works without consuming a shitload of RAM.
nik736··on DigitalOcean: New $4 Droplet and updated pricing
This is not true at all. Electricity prices are crazy and hardware is a lot more expensive for us (not affiliated with DO, I run a PaaS service) than it was 2 years ago.
nik736··on Fly.io: The reclaimer of Heroku's magic
What exactly makes K8s better?
nik736··on Markdoc: Stripe's Markdown-based authoring framework
Yes, this is exactly what I meant.
nik736··on Markdoc: Stripe's Markdown-based authoring framework
Browsing their Docs has this weird, glitchy animation. Where is it coming from?
nik736··on I'm all-in on server-side SQLite
Which are mostly bots scanning serp results to prevent rate limits.
nik736··on Sentry.io outage
Are they using a single zone though? Only a single zone seems to be down.
nik736··on Postmark has been acquired by ActiveCampaign
Wow, that's a surprise! I love Postmark and I am using it for all my products. This kind of feels wrong though, hopefully it won't go downhill from here.
nik736··on Show HN: Alternative Google Analytics Dashboard
"Design language"? It looks like a bad rip-off.
nik736··on Things I can’t do on macOS which I can do on Ubuntu (2020)
Thanks for that! Option key words perfectly.
nik736··on YDB – An open-source Distributed SQL Database
A bit off topic but what are all those devs at Yandex doing right now?
nik736··on Stackit: Cloud and Colocation
As far as I can see they don't even operate their own network and according to RIPE they don't own any IPs. How is this supposed to work?
nik736··on Disabling automatic refresh for Snap from store
Please correct me if I am wrong, but you can simply snap install with a --channel, which could be a specific version. This way it is not auto updating, since it's on that specific channel/version.
nik736··on Show HN: World’s first £3 flat fee (0% FX markup) money transfer service
I like the idea, dislike the TLD. Could be the most reliable and serious company, but I won't be using it with a .money TLD.
nik736··on Degoogle: Alternatives to Google products, privacy tips, tricks, links
You can start by not using a Google owned .dev TLD.
nik736··on Ask HN: Good Alternatives to VS Code?
I am still using Atom and I will hate Microsoft forever for killing it. For me no other editor comes close in terms of UX.
nik736··on Show HN: Hacker XP – Hacker News styled as a Windows XP Outlook email client
Why is the 500 error page not a blue screen.
nik736··on [dead]
The headline is simply wrong. The feature that got disabled is the remotely controled horn and turn signals.
nik736··on IPv4 pricing
Where are you from?
nik736··on Ask HN: Best Framework to build Reddit in 2021?
Rails will handle "thousands of comments" just fine. If you are hitting scaling issues with a midsize Rails app you probably could look into how to optimize.

Throwing Mongo at the problem is not really a solution.

nik736··on DenoDB
ActiveRecord is the only ORM that I feel comfortable with. It's great.
nik736··on Vivaldi 4.0
It's down.
nik736··on GitHub was having issues
What's the reason these Git services have so many issues all the time?
nik736··on Behind the design of the fresh new Firefox coming June 1
Been using it for quite a while with the Developer Edition and I have to say while the tabs looked weird at first I absolutely love the new look now!
nik736··on Ask HN: Video recommendation platform as a way to compete with YouTube?
Latency isn't important for video streaming, peering is.
