searchfaster··on WebVR Experiments
I had the same experience when I saw my first online streaming video many many years ago.
searchfaster··on Ask HN: Whats your favorite Sci-Fi short story?
'Flowers for Algernon'
searchfaster··on Milk that lasts for months
Interesting... I grew up in South of India and about 30 yrs ago, I used to drink fresh raw milk as soon as my Granddad finished milking the cows.. Back then, not sure if anybody even knew about pasteurization outside of big cities in India.

Things have changed a lot now though.. Everytime I visit India or my village I see Cows being injected with a concoction of drugs and hormones .. :(

searchfaster··on Tor in a safer language: Network team update from Amsterdam
*This and almost every CDN starts popping up 'Captchas' atleast the last time I tried.. I find it easier to setup a VPN server and use one.
searchfaster··on Tor in a safer language: Network team update from Amsterdam
When I read safer language, 'Rust' came into mind automatically.. Not sure if 'Rust' will ever be as popular as golang but certainly see a future with it popping up everywhere mission critical / super safe software is required.
searchfaster··on Ask HN: What to Expect at YC Startup School?
Congrats ! Wish I had not seen this though.. I am going to be rushing to my phone every time I hear an email notification, all weekend :)
searchfaster··on Optane Memory – A bridge between DRAM and storage
Thanks ! Finally a place to lookup pricing information.

Also if you are already mmap'ing some big file which needs frequent access, I do not see how this will help ?

searchfaster··on Tamil Bell
True even the old inscription (on the bell) is pretty easy to read, compared to some of the old stuff you find in temples in Madurai / Tirupati.
searchfaster··on Tamil Bell
Same here.. and even the script is easily readable too.. compared to some of the old works of Tamil, found in old temples.

Tamil is over 2000 years old and it is fascinating to see how the script has changed from back then to now.

Cool.. how many records per shard do you use for optimal performance ?

searchfaster··on Ask HN: Fatigued by the complexity of ES6 tooling. What to do?
As an absolute JS newbie, I tried Angular, Angular 2, React and Vue 2.0. I found Vue most easy to approach. Vue is well designed, documented, super light and easiest to get external packages working.
searchfaster··on Goodbye Mac App Store
The other day I tried PixelMator and loved it right away. Only thing holding me back from buying it is the 'Mac App Store' :(
searchfaster··on Ctop – commandline monitoring for containers
Thank you ! Glances seems to be a good netdata + htop replacement
searchfaster··on Introducing Cloud Functions for Firebase
Thanks, this was the only thing holding me back from Firebase.
searchfaster··on Introducing Cloud Functions for Firebase
Authentication, realtime db, cloud messaging etc., which I guess are also not part of App engine offerings ?
searchfaster··on Introducing Google Cloud Container Builder
Thanks skj.. any plans of supporting containers other than docker ?
searchfaster··on Vultr introduces $2.50/month plan
Great job on the website. Very thorough, beautiful and answered all my questions about the service.
searchfaster··on A deep dive into why Wi-Fi kind of sucks
Many poeple also don't understand, how easy it is to frame a deauth packet and disconnect clients from APs. Hotels are known to use this to kick you out of using your own personal hotspot on phones. Thankfully 802.11w PMF solves this and FCC has started imposing fines on hotels doing this.
searchfaster··on I am an Uber survivor
It is totally understandable why she chose to be anonymous. I would let the readers decide, if they find any content shared on HN useful or not.
searchfaster··on Machine Learning from scratch: Bare bones implementations in Python
Very nice project! Very very useful for a ML beginner like myself. Thank you very much !
searchfaster··on Show HN: Hasura – A Postgres BaaS and Kubernetes PaaS on Your Own Infrastructure
Looks great... may be just what I have been looking for. PS: The illustrations are awesome !
searchfaster··on Txt.fyi
No.. may be my code is just not worth commenting ;)
searchfaster··on Txt.fyi
Never realized how uncomfortable it is to read a paragraph of monospaced font text, even though I read 1000s of lines of code in monospaced font without any issues.
searchfaster··on What no one talks about when running and selling a business
Exactly... I had the opportunity to meet an almost Billion dollar company founder. I went in feeling awkward but he was very nice, treated me with dignity and respect and never once did I feel uncomfortable. Within minutes, I felt like I was conversing with any one of my other colleagues or friends.
searchfaster··on Americans are struggling to pay off their auto loans
Same applies to a 600$ service every 3 years or 30K miles. Just to change oil, filters, flush refill all fluids and verify everything is alright. Easily doable under 75$ within an hour or two. My Sedan has been running fine with no dealer service or oil change for the past 12 years, over 120K miles.
searchfaster··on Dear MongoDB users, we welcome you in Azure DocumentDB
Interesting... So compatible with Mongodb protocol but not using mongodb internally ?

What is your view of services, which provide functionality of some other software or SAAS and is API / Protocol compatible ?

Can API / protocols be copyrighted or patented? I believe not based on Google vs Oracle.

searchfaster··on Building a One-Person SaaS App Offers a Profound Sense of Personal Achievement
Not the OP and not a link to my product directly.. but a demo built on top of it, without any mention of my currently One-Person SaaS.

searchfaster··on Element – A Vue 2.0-based component library for developers, designers and PMs
From my experience, would strongly suggest Vue. I am a systems developer too and started playing with UI for a side project. I started building the app and started with Angular, Angular 2, React and then heard about Vue and tried it. Vue makes things super easy and is well documented. I was super productive and got things done fastest on Vue.
