Re:Tell HN: AWS us-east-1 services are down on Monday October 20, 2025 @05:11AM (#45641670)
Does anyone know if having Global Accelerator set up would help right now? It's in the list of affected services, I wonder if it's useful in scenarios like this one.

Re:Delayed Job vs. Sidekiq on Wednesday February 16, 2022 @09:57AM (#30360761)
Not sure how it works with MySQL, but with postgres the most common pooling options use transactional mode, which doesn't support LISTEN/NOTIFY.
Re:Delayed Job vs. Sidekiq on Wednesday February 16, 2022 @09:35AM (#30360462)
The problem with postgres-backed queues is they can't be used with connection pooling, so your workers are unnecessarily using up DB connections.

There are in-app purchases for coins, so I guess that's how?

Re:In Denmark, Harsh New Laws for Immigrant ‘Ghettos’ on Tuesday July 03, 2018 @05:16AM (#17448635)
I used to live in Tingbjerg, and could witness firsthand how the immigrants abused the welfare there. The laws may seem harsh, but on the other side you have people who take pride in cheating the social security system.
I think there are usecases where you control the whole chain and have nodes within your organisation. The blockchain becomes a specialised database that's optimised to be a ledger, something like https://chain.com and https://chain.com/sequence/.
This sounds extremely weird when you read it in Europe.
Re:Intel made smart glasses that look normal on Monday February 05, 2018 @10:33AM (#16309355)
I'm curious, what is it useful for? I've been thinking of getting one since it came out, but can't really imagine what I'd use it for after the coolness of the new gadget wears off.

Re:A $10K tiny house 3D-printed in 24 hours on Monday March 06, 2017 @12:52AM (#13800927)
Look up Finnish modular homes. They work in climates where temperature goes below -30C.
Most new apartment buildings in Poland have 3 phases connected to all apartments. Since there's municipal central heating, there's no point in connecting natural gas to those buildings, so you're forced to use induction stovetops. And those are much more efficient with 3 phases.
