Re:Ask HN: What is your best domain name? on Saturday June 08, 2024 @09:44AM (#40617506)
Not mine but I know a few people that have these interesting domain names:

https://ui.dev

https://earnings.report

https://data.ai

https://database.new

I found this site and looking at their 'sample reports' it loaded fast and it looks very clean to me.

The domain is also interesting as well but I use this as a quick stocks lookup over the cluttered experience of most stocks sites.

Re:Solana Pay on Tuesday February 01, 2022 @01:27PM (#30166883)
I don't see anything good about this or Solana, it is still a centralised ponzi scheme like the rest of all the crypto coins.

How can Solana be the next Visa if it keeps going down every time. If this system is going down now, it certainly cannot scale when more people use it.

MeiliSearch looks fantastic! I haven't tried it but at least it is written in Rust so that should be a good reason to try it out for a project of mine.

Where though? This is what I mean by place, I would like to know the best place people get this certificate.

Again, coming from Mac, I go to Apple, for Windows where do I go?
