Major issue is that reaching their support is next to impossible. Payment for my domain is not going through and now I am waiting for my domain to get expired and be available in market again, so that I can buy it from other vendor.

Re:Ask HN: Which books you have read till now that were worth investin...

I actually go via reverse route. Often times I would find something of interest on HN or Reddit which would make me feel excited.
Then to fulfil the curiosity I would often read lot of blogs, articles on same topic. If I still feel that I am still not satisfied then I pick book on the topic.
I usually read around 20 books in an year and all are shortlisted [1] as per the above method. Last 3 books that I have read
- Code Breakers (I found the mRNA vaccine and gene editing fascinating) - How the world really works (To really understand that if the green future is really possible) - Natural Language Processing in Action (To understand how text models like GPT-3 really works

I started my blog after procrastinating for 5 years. I was in the perfection loop of how I will host it using SSR and Github Actions and all those things that will lure any developer. One day I just hosted Ghost on Digital Ocean Droplet and started publishing things from my emails and notebook.
Writing is a way for me to clear out my head, I usually scribble a lot in my notepad and recently in Obsidian. From past one year, I also share the things out in public on my blog - https://binaryho.me/
The traffic is < 5 daily users but that's not discouraging as I find peace in writing.

This is neat and reminds me of R2D3 articles [1], how are these visualisations made? I know the hard way is hand-coding every aspect with D3, is there any simple framework that helps out in creating visual stories like these?

It's difficult to build strong opinions on a topic. Mostly we go with the safe opinions that are acceptable by society.
And problem comes up when we mix belief, perspective, facts and opinions.

It would be interesting to create an index fund from these companies (if publicly traded) and observe how is it growing over time.

I owe most of my career growth to HN community. I never thought of this place at warm when I first joined. But now, I feel attached the HN crowd. Especially the unique perspective I get from the comments. No echo chambers!
Thank you pg and dang!

Ask HN: What can we do on what's happening at Ukraine?
I have seen lot of social media buzz to attract the eyeballs, mostly these are sensitive videos of blasts, praising how Ukrainian president is going on front lines, and then lot of thoughts and prayers kind of stuff. I have never seen things like this work in past in bringing a meaningful change.What can we actually do to help at individual level when our country leaders have failed?

Not asking stupid questions is not a function of age but conditioning. I have seen children asking all type of questions.
For adults, looking smart is more important and if asking dumb questions hinders that capability, then we tend to avoid it.

Great advice.
One of the things that I have learnt is how important effective communication is for software developers. It can make or break the products.

How can you explain yesterday's outage (Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp) to your parents?
You are feeling hungry and went to food court. The food court (open area) has a lot of options. You sit down in front of Domino's (Facebook), since you want to eat garlic bread. Now, you can't order from the counter directly. The waiter will come to your seat and ask for the order. You ordered garlic bread from the waiter, but the guy at Domino's counter went missing. Your order was not reaching to the chef in kitchen as Domino's counter guy was not present.
This explains why Domino's (Facebook) ecosystem was down, but what about other vendors? They had nothing to do with Facebook.
To understand this, we need to go back to our food court again. Now, there are a lot of hungry people sitting outside Domino. Since they were not getting answer from one waiter as why their food is not on their table, they started disturbing all the waiters. Due to this, majority of the waiters were trying to figure out where the Domino's counter guy went and other food joints (read websites) were not able to fulfil their own orders.
So although only Domino's was down, it appeared as if whole Food Court (Internet) was facing issues.

Re:Amazon S3 and Glacier Price Reductions

Has anyone tried to migrate to Backblaze. Their pricing seems really aggressive but I am not sure if we can compare Amazon and Backblaze when it comes to reliability.
