Re:How much oil-market buffer is left?

I replaced my old Forester with the new Trailseeker. Stsrting price (and interest rate) is much better than the R2.
I can slide in an 8’ board no problem when I’m too lazy to use the roof rack.
I haven’t upgraded the wheels or tires yet but the stock ones have had no problem going up and down the old logging and forest service roads of NW Oregon and SW Washington.

Apple makes a sizeable sum through the App store and accessories. I don't think low churn on their flagship hardware is keeping their executives awake at night.

Re:Ask HN: What did you read in 2025?

I'm rereading the Lord of the Rings after about ~15 years since my last one. For this read through I've been thoroughly delighted by the interlude of poems and songs whereas before I'd just gloss over them. I wonder if this is an effect of getting older.

For anyone interested, the musical artist Cosmo Sheldrake has an album entitled Wild Wet World [0] where he samples sounds from the ocean. He often incorporates a lot from nature in his music and is a real treat to see live.

This sounds like the Roborock S series. I went with lidar over camera because it can run in any lighting condition and I don’t have a need for poop detection.

…let's say, your TV, or your iOS device will just do 10 network calls to these different microservices. It will just not scale at all. You would have a very bad customer experience. It would feel like using the Disney app. It's just not ideal.
That’s some shade.

Similar to other use cases mentioned already, it was a way for us to create a privacy-focused site to manage guests and give guests the opportunity to update their RSVP, dietary needs, and requested song for the DJ. Additionally there were a few sections of the site where my fiancée could update content as she saw fit by logging in and hitting save. We found the database useful to keep track of RSVPs, gifts, and who we still needed to send thank you's to after the event.
The main drawbacks were people who are not comfortable using the web and people remembering their unique adjective-noun passphrase. Also, I'm not very savvy when it comes to CSS or design so my giddiness was crushed demoing what I thought was the MVP to the "project manager".
I don't want to detract this from being about Javalin though. It's fantastic. I would recommend it and use it again for projects.

I just wanted to say thank you for your work. The straightforward docs are some the best in my opinion when you want to go from "How do I do ..." to answer.
I ended up using Javalin with Kotlin and SQLite to build my wedding website.
Most of my projects are lucky to see the light of day, but with a very persistent project manager and a simple lightweight framework, I was able to ship a fantastic product with very little fuss.

Not the person you're responding to, but it appears broken on Chrome and Safari on macOS (Firefox is fine) with a correctly set date. On further inspection it looks like there's a problem with the R3 certificate being expired. After a little Googling and I found this: https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/help-thread-for-dst-root...
Hopefully that helps!
Re:Fly.io: The reclaimer of Heroku's magic

I strongly agree with your last paragraph. I used Heroku for my wedding website and I would 100% use it again on a project site.
In about 15 minutes I was able to take my site from localhost to a custom domain with SSL with just a little more than a git push. I can't think of many solutions that are simpler than that.
