Re:Ukraine claims first drone evacuation of wounded soldier on Tuesday October 20, 2026 @07:20AM (#50164572)
It is not anywhere near a daily occurence. Beginning of the war or on the rs side, sure, but it's suicide for a rs helo to come into Ukrainian territory at this point.

Seems odd to make a purpose-specific drone like this. The modular ones give much larger breadth, especially when you are constrained to being underground, etc.

Even cheaper if armor is the only goal.

I've never seen a helo anywhere near UA frontlines. Would be over in seconds.
Ukraine volunteer here: - Find local charities where you can meet people face to face, and do your own due diligence, this is because: - The best/most tech-starved charities are the ones where they're continously in the trenches of the charities activities (so they won't even be on tech skill matching charity job boards) — and are generally poorly represented online

Multivariate testing
Even in Ukraine, it's far more expensive than the local equivalent which works flawlessly.

Foreigner in/out of kharkiv here, this is a nice project, but also is very ambitious — as the amount of the IT turned volunteer/military is insanely huge. Applaud any project trying to capture even a fragment of Ukraine's civic society.

Yeah, give us the OSS.. and sell the SLA's to enterprise
No landing page, UI seems bland?
Most of them usually are.
Re:Marines now have an official drone-fighting handbook on Wednesday August 06, 2025 @03:34AM (#44808859)
We produce drones in Ukraine, yes, hit-rate is lower, but still worth it given cost.
exactly (ps: I live in kharkiv)
nice article, would be nice also... some thoughts

- who finances? everything goes to war, even post-victory, focus will be on replenishing and criticial infra.

- shelters? only a handful of people with kids go to them

Or maybe that's simply their public-facing reason.

Re:Show HN: LinkedIn sucks, so I built a better one on Tuesday March 25, 2025 @02:22AM (#43468530)
Thought it would be more "open"/federated/open-source. Honestly not interested in another platform like this.
What are your best practices so far?

WordPress market share alone (within the open web) speaks to GPL as having been a good or great choice (but not a negative one).

Re:WordPlate: WordPress on Composer with sensible defaults on Sunday February 26, 2023 @08:22AM (#34945319)
Why do you give non-devs the ability to upgrade PHP plugins and edit theme syntax, shouldn't that be the site admin handling? Why are you not using staging to test? These don't seem like WP problems :/
Re:WordPlate: WordPress on Composer with sensible defaults on Sunday February 26, 2023 @02:37AM (#34943811)
I think you answered your own question, the familiarity for users (seo & content) which is "end-to-end no-code" is massive (especially once extended with user-facing plugins). And you're not even speaking about making the move to Gutenberg yet. Just too much value there.
