stvnitt··on Threads – 1984 BBC film about the horrors of nuclear war
I hadn’t seen this until a few days ago. Amazing, horrifying film like nothing I’ve seen before. It is said to be the first film to deal directly and realistically with the idea of nuclear war and what it would mean.

Roger Ebert said this was “one of the most skillful documentary films ever made.”

I was excited to see it freely available (legally) on YouTube, so I wanted to share it with HN.

stvnitt··on Cloudflare Waiting Room
This is a cool idea and something perfect for Cloudflare. Looks like a setting you can turn on that limits the number of people who can access your Cloudflare proxyed app, and puts the other people in a Cloudflare-hosted “waiting room” queue.

Smart and much needed to shield these random city / hospital COVID vaccine reservation websites!

stvnitt··on Zealandia: Earth’s Hidden Continent
Wow, this seriously blew my mind. The tl;dr is that the area surrounding New Zealand (“Zelandia”) is arguably / was a continent. Fascinating!

stvnitt··on DigitalOcean S-1
I had no idea they offered managed K8s. How does it compare to their competitors (if you’re knowledgeable about them as well?)

stvnitt··on Ask HN: Facebook comments vs. Disqus vs. DIY in 2018
The main problem I have with Facebook comments is that it's harder for them to match the rest of your site, visually. Disqus comments usually seem to look more integrated to me. I'm not familiar with DIY so I can't speak to them.
stvnitt··on Launch HN: ClearBrain (YC W18) – predictive models for app conversions and churn
I'm not really familiar with this space, but is there a non-enterprise option here? I would love to try something like this out but the price point is too high for me.
