There is a large cohort of people who will complain about ads but also don't want to pay. My little microSaaS is monetised with ads but I offer option to pay if you don't like the ads. Still get plenty of complaints about the ads.

After adding UPI as a payment option to my little microSaaS, I'm finally starting to see sales in India. Was like trying to extract hen's teeth to get an Indian to sign up before that.

I bet if you pay the equivalent 60s/70s dollars to fly today you'll get much better service than back then! Modern first class cabins are a class above what was available back then.
OpenRouter falls in the acceptable use category. They targeting users that are misusing their Claude OAuth token on non-Anthropic products.
$7 per 1000 searches seems steep. Don't think I will sign up to something where I have no idea if I'll make money, considering I'll also be sharing the commission with you.

Yeah, it's all client side. Which is why I was able to just leave and forget about it for so long. Was hosted on an S3 bucket. There's tons of libraries out there that does client side compression/decompression. Just search through github! :-)

Can relate. I built a little web utility back in 2009. Did practically nothing with it (occasional updates every 2/3 years) and it slowly accumulated inbound links and google ranking. Then finally in 2019 I decided to put a bit more effort into it. Now I make my living from it! :-)
Re:My Experience at Apple on Saturday January 02, 2021 @04:57AM (#25611604)
You're thinking of Agilent. Also Accenture didn't change their name due to Enron. It happened before the scandal (so quite lucky for them!) Arthur Andersen and Andersen Consulting were involved in a legal tussle which required them to change their name... https://www.nytimes.com/2000/08/08/business/worldbusiness/IH...
Re:Vue 3 Beta on Thursday April 16, 2020 @10:38PM (#22895703)
I like that I can embed a bit of vue code into an existing web page. Bit like old school javascript. AngularJS 1.x was like that too and the inspiration for Vue. React/Angular require a whole build process with NPM/webpack etc etc to create a SPA.

Theres an interesting product over at kickstarter. Seems to be getting a quite a bit of traction. Beacon with a whole bunch of different sensors. All open source! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/463050344/ruuvitag-open...

Thats a dumb argument. Boeing still makes 747s, which is the same age.

Re:The Story Behind the Worst Movie on IMDb on Wednesday May 07, 2014 @07:17PM (#7713145)
After you've watched The Room, read "The Disaster Artist: My Life Inside the Room, the Greatest Bad Movie Ever Made". It is a fascinating tale! (And is being turned into a movie of it's own starring James Franco)
Re:Avocode – preview and inspect PSD without Photoshop on Wednesday April 30, 2014 @09:17PM (#7677607)
Just the sort of tool I'm after! Been using Gimp to open PSDs but it's quite finicky and error prone. I can't justify myself a Photoshop license just for inspection purposes.
Re:NetBeans IDE 8.0 on Thursday March 20, 2014 @10:33PM (#7440317)
Netbeans 8 is great for HTML5/JS work as well. Been using the beta version for AngularJS development the past 2 months.
Awesome! Just what I needed this morning.
Re:Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking freelancer? (March 2014) on Saturday March 01, 2014 @10:23AM (#7324483)
SEEKING WORK - Remote (Based in Perth, Australia)

I'm one of those right-brain centric big picture thinkers, so I have a knack for joining the dots between disparate systems and coming up with novel solutions. I'm a full stack developer but I have a preference for the frontend, particularly AngularJS.

Here's a quick laundry list of technologies that are fresh in my cranium:

Frontend: HTML5(canvas, filesystem ...), AngularJS, KineticJS, Bootstrap, Less, Facebook & Twitter API

Backend: Play!, web2py, Google App Engine

Languages: javascript, java, python tcl

Couple of things I've built:

Currently working on this:

Re:Free static page hosting on Google App Engine in minutes on Tuesday February 18, 2014 @01:14AM (#7256669)
Need to create page rules if you want to cache HTML pages.

Also, cloudflare does support clearing of individual files. There is an API for it. Pretty sure their web client does too.

Re:Ask HN: How do you send money to friends? on Saturday January 18, 2014 @08:28PM (#7083031)
Direct deposit into account when both of us are in Australia. Requires bank account number of recipient. Doesn't incur fees like paypal does.

Re:Tcl the misunderstood (2006) on Thursday January 16, 2014 @07:18PM (#7073426)
Tcl might've been elegant but StoryServer most certainly wasn't. Http variables automatically injected into the code was a particularly fun security risk. Then they provided helpful (to hackers) error messages that could be googled. Still came up with a result all these years later! :-) http://www.google.com/#q=intitle%3A"StoryServer+Error"
