Re:Ask HN: Build Own PC in 2023? on Saturday July 08, 2023 @04:27PM (#36648381)
Go for it! Building PCs is really enjoyable experience for me and you can tailor the hardware to your needs - more memory, stronger gpu, stronger CPU, etc. Big fans at low rpm is better than smaller fan at higher rpm - it's less noisy. I'd highly suggest looking into Noctua for fans and cooling(I'm not affiliated in any way) - they're slightly expensive, but they're silent and do a great job. Don't get a GPU with "turbo fan" - they're really loud. GPU with single fan (unless low-end) is also not worth it, usually. It's very important to me to get a NVME SSD - read/write speeds can go up to 7gb/s (gb, not gbit). Don't overlook the PSU (as many people do) - you might get all kind of weird issues like GPU Coil while, random restarts, etc. If you want to get fancy, you can get into liquid cooling. At this point it does not matter as much if you'll go with AMD or Intel. Have in mind that the newest gen AMD CPUs is using different CPU sockets, so you need to find a motherboard that maches it. At this point it's not worth getting DDR5 memory - much pricier for 2-4% performance difference.

I'm getting 404 Not Found for the past 20-30 minutes. Seems that's the case for everyone.

Re:Ask HN: I want to crawl every plain HTML website. Where do I begin? on Thursday December 01, 2022 @07:22PM (#33825092)
I'd probably look into AWS Lambda as you can query in parallel from different IPs at a scale cheaply.

If you're familiar with the javascript ecosystem, I'd recommend looking at Remix or NextJS.

Making productive retro of a feature that went over estimation

Posted by deepsy on Tuesday March 23, 2021 @04:09PM
from the self-post dept.

Our team got into the situation in which a feature that was planned to take 2-3 days (estimated as 5 days, because a less experienced developer was working on it) took almost 2 months to build. The feature was in python - previously the developer didn't have experience with it, but it was as fairly simple: mapping an input to external API and mapping the response back.How would you advise us to...

Ask HN: Do you write unit/integration tests for both versions of A/B tests?

Posted by deepsy on Thursday October 22, 2020 @08:43AM
from the ask-hn dept.

We're using integration tests to cover 90% of the user flows. Adding integration tests for all a/b test flows and their permutations seems to be an overkill, but we're facing situations in which there are broken things only when the user is in b version of the test X and b version of the test Y. I'm wondering how other smaller companies deal with this?

Hey! I've made https://github.com/deepsyx/home-automation about 2 year ago, it might give you some inspiration :) It controls the lights, ac, heater and displays the current temp on mobile app

Re:Ask HN: Tips on Migrating from Heroku to AWS? on Sunday March 17, 2019 @07:50PM (#19417587)
AWS already have ElasticBeanstalk which is a Heroku alternative. However, if you decide to build your infrastructure manually, use Terraform.

Actually I used that as Linux alternative to Photoshop. I've used Chrome to export it as stand-alone app.
