Re:Tracing HTTP Requests with Go's net/HTTP/httptrace on Monday June 01, 2026 @09:22AM (#48356512)
I agree with you about C# there. I don't use it really at all, but the times I did it felt like I was writing Go with how nice the stdlib was and that I could just use the dotnet CLI on Linux too. It was pleasant and productive to use.

That get's the job done too for those events depending on what you need them for. httptrace could be heavy handed if all you want is simple events like you show.

Author here... Thanks for sharing this. It has been fun to use while we get ready to launch https://probes.dev with tracing being core to the service.
Re:Introduction to Bluesky's AT Protocol on Wednesday August 20, 2025 @05:05PM (#44966461)
If you want to find other apps that are using Bluesky and ATProto we run https://blueskydirectory.com for that. Feel free to add any apps you find to it!
Yeah, we're working with folks to add more and more, but like any online service it takes time to fill the database with info and that takes exposure to know it exists.
Re:Ask HN: Where do you reliably find worldwide remote jobs? on Wednesday April 09, 2025 @06:48AM (#43630735)
We're planning to launch https://apply.coop soon that will have remote jobs listed from reputable co-ops.
Re:Ask HN: How can I get out of tech? on Friday January 12, 2024 @09:18PM (#38976724)
I'm currently going through this now myself. I'm 42 tomorrow and I'll have been programming for 27 years. I'm just so tired of it all, but I don't want to lose the joy of programming. Im trying to just go freelance and be in charge of my own destiny. We'll see where it goes.

Just know you're not alone.

Re:The Framework Laptop on Thursday February 25, 2021 @10:55AM (#26264163)
I have noticed that most laptops under 14" have those 1/2 keys, but once you go to 15" the overall weight increases a lot. The only 14" laptop I've used with full arrow keys was the System76 Galago Pro Gen 3 (galp3).

I've been using https://www.goatcounter.com and it works great. Nice and simple and I can turn off some tracking features for things I don't care about.
Re:The Framework Laptop on Thursday February 25, 2021 @10:45AM (#26264017)
I agree. If I ever get a new machine it will be a Lenovo. The build quality is amazing.
Re:The Framework Laptop on Thursday February 25, 2021 @10:45AM (#26264006)
Haha. I have adapted to that too, but why even bother with 1/2 keys then. The look like an afterthought.
Re:The Framework Laptop on Thursday February 25, 2021 @10:40AM (#26263930)
Great. Another laptop with 1/2 arrow keys. Such a shame.

I've been very happy with https://apricityos.com running Cinnamon desktop.
Re:Ask HN: Static site generator with web UI? on Monday March 23, 2015 @09:59AM (#9250886)
For side jobs I always use http://statamic.com since it is all flat files that I can edit in a text editor, but my clients can use the GUI admin. I can use Git with it and you can turn it on for the admin to so any edits made by the GUI are committed as well.

I am good friends with the creator as well, but I would still use it otherwise.

Re:Show HN: All available three letter .io domains on Thursday October 02, 2014 @08:09AM (#8400392)
Nice list. Though it would make it easier to scan if the domains were floated left and not in columns like a newspaper.

And yet it is still square and ugly because of it.
Neat repo to plot these dates on a timeline. https://github.com/cheeaun/life
