This blog post was a missed opportunity for Gemini: Ideally, the blog post should have been by-lined as "written by Gemini" (with no human intervention besides prompting). Even better - the attached video shows the blog post being generated.
Re:Why the Bucks Can’t Wear Cream Uniforms Anymore on Tuesday November 15, 2022 @05:08PM (#33615751)
From the article: "Teams can’t wear cream anymore because it interferes with the digital ads that are placed on the court in broadcast due to the uniforms being so close to the color of the wood that is keyed out in the process."

“Hey! Do you write originals?”

This initial question should have been a tip off.

I responded to this request to message me that came via Instagram with “What else would I write?”

Then came the pitch… I was being asked to write song for the questioner’s son’s birthday, which was next week. Just a simple 2 minute birthday song which will have his name mentioned lol

Ask HN: Solution for public crowdsourced content site (with editorial control)

Posted by doubleocherry on Tuesday October 27, 2020 @02:31PM
from the ask-hn dept.

Hi HN:First of all, yes, I obviously know a wiki could serve this purpose, but I'm a fan of static sites due to performance, scale, and security.I am looking at building a site that is essentially a wiki: it will accepts crowd sourced edits and page updates. However, I'd also like to manage content change requests via git and deploy via Netlify.Ideally, the architecture I'd prefer is:Content...

Re:In a warming world, New England’s trees are storing more carbon on Tuesday August 04, 2020 @10:08PM (#24056589)
Planting more trees has many benefits to the planet and society, and trees can be a large carbon sink - but planting trees doesn't always help mitigate climate change, and in some cases can exacerbate the problem.

Why specifically would you "never ever give control of blog to a 3rd party"?

I've used Wordpress for a number of projects myself. Curious: For your use case, do you find the ease of use of WordPress' content tooling to outweigh the time needed to deal with security, updates, and deployment (especially since you self-host?)

Are you deploying via Netlify, with Hugo versions stored in Git?
Re:Ask HN: Which blog platform is your company using for public-facing... on Monday July 22, 2019 @02:32PM (#20500839)
Are you using the WordPress Static Site plugin? https://wordpress.org/plugins/simply-static/

And if so, are you just putting the result on S3? or perhaps deploying with Netlify?

Ask HN: Which blog platform is your company using for public-facing content?

Posted by doubleocherry on Monday July 22, 2019 @02:20PM
from the ask-hn dept.

I'm curious as to what platforms the HN community are using for external facing company blogs (to post news, opinion, marketing material, engineering posts etc). Obvious choices include Medium or the blogging features of a static site system (such as Jekyll + Netlify). What else?In 2019, what blogging platforms are people using, and why?

Re:YouTube Official Developer Issue Tracker Is Teeming with Spam Posts on Monday April 23, 2018 @07:05PM (#16908285)
The YouTube API's official public issue tracker (accessible via a link from the official docs stating "Something wrong? Send us a bug report!") is teaming with fake posts, spam, and blank entries.
Re:Why Entrepreneurs Start Companies Rather Than Join Them on Friday April 13, 2018 @08:11PM (#16835010)
I've been an entrepreneur for years, and when I got started, I wasn't free of debt, and I wasn't "the right" age. However, I don't disagree that a certain amount of affluence and particular set of circumstances are huge contributors to entrepreneurial success.

Re:Saas CTO Security Checklist on Monday March 19, 2018 @12:05AM (#16616134)
As someone who has made a similar, internal checklist, I find this to be well-done. A good primer for someone who is starting their own Saas company, and is interested in understanding the scope of what it takes to implement best practices as a CTO.

I've been looking at something like this to host a landing page for a book I wrote years ago. Great work, I'll give it a try.
Re:Run JavaScript on Cloudflare with Workers on Tuesday March 13, 2018 @11:49AM (#16577095)
Lack of tooling integration is one of the most challenging things about using services like yours in production. "Whipping something up" is not something I want my eng team doing. Having built a system where customers want a similar integration, I understand how difficult it is to provide!
Re:Ask HN: Move to product management at 35? on Sunday March 04, 2018 @12:26PM (#16515494)
Why, specifically, do you want to move into Product Management?

To answer one of your questions: Age doesn't matter.
