Re:Observable 2.0, a static site generator for data apps on Thursday February 15, 2024 @12:57PM (#39385928)
Yes, it is confusing. It took me sometime to realize their product name itself is framework.

We built simple tool for devs https://HelloEle.com, you can use it along with S3 or BackBlaze.
Re:The Orange Pi 5 Plus on Sunday January 21, 2024 @03:36AM (#39076709)
There is a huge demand for Pi clones in the Industrial segment. Check RevolutionPi.com. $200 for a single Pi is cheap, the equivalent Intel Box costs close to $2000, yes 10x. It's even difficult to get decent number of Industrial Pis on time.
I never used D-lang in any production application.

But for an IOT prototype where the executable size and performance were very important we benchmarked D also along with Go and C#.NET Core.

I made the same prototype in Go, C#, Java(GraalVM Native Compile) and D-lang. The results were surprisingly positive for D-lang.

Best Peformance -> D-lang, next Go and then Java(GraalVM), C#.NET Core.

Executable Size -> D-lang:500kb, Go: 2.5 MB, C# : 11MB, Java(GraalVM):8MB.

Our major concern with D-lang was lack of dependable(tested) standard libraries.

Re:Why I use the D programming language for scripting on Sunday July 30, 2023 @03:55AM (#36928885)
I used D for a small prototype. I wrote that same program in GO, C# and Java(native compiled with GraalVM).

The CPU and RAM usage of D-lang out performed all other languages.

Compiled binary size:

D-Lang : 450KB Go : 2 MB C#(.NET) : 8 MB Java-GraalVM: 9 MB

D-Lang CPU & RAM Usage is also less than GO. Unfortunately D-Lang is not popular, not many libraries available.

This looks great.
Re:Gitless a simple VCS built on top of Git on Saturday June 17, 2023 @11:49AM (#36371252)
Git is not easy, some concepts are confusing especially for newbies. I wrote a simple intro on how git works https://git-help.com
Its a bit surprising, the faq is all about Redis and other tools but not about Dragonfly.
Its soo clean.

Logo, Icons, Font, Color selection, everything looks perfect.

Re:I finally found an use case for my Raspberry Pi Model B+ on Tuesday November 01, 2022 @01:48AM (#33417447)
That sponge between RPi and backup is going to take alot of heat. It may catch fire.
This is one of the most ingenious use of modren technology.

This is how technology should be helping us.

Goodluck.

Re:Losslessly Optimising Images on Wednesday August 31, 2022 @09:03AM (#32661538)

You can live preview the result with different compression levels. Its FREE, you can pay if you like it.

This is exactly what we are building at TinyFunction.com Just write your function code in Javascript or Python in the browser and click deploy to get a URL. Take a look at https://TinyFunction.com

Appreciate any suggestions or feedback.

> Perhaps the issue is not the writing of the YAML, but the need to have a good understanding of all the resources/primatives in order to get things glued together.

This and the fear of making a mistake with the most important configuration file of the application.

OP this is a clear opporutinty for Stacktape.

Re:Node.js packages don't deserve trust on Monday April 11, 2022 @12:31PM (#30991164)
Why not lock the core libs like Map.prototpy Array.prototype ? Can't we have sandbox like environment (which is not default but which can be enabled on application basis). Java Applets which run inside the browser had this kind of sandbox restritions.
I wonder why is it difficult to add an extra password on top of the access key. What I mean is you can have another password or hash (separate to normal auth pass) which is only used to encrypt at browser and decrypt at the time of usage(through env load packages or your custom doppler command. This extra password is never sent or stored at doppler server.
Re:Show HN: A Simple Online Image cropping tool on Friday March 11, 2022 @01:49PM (#30644296)
Thats a good idea, will implement the copy to clipboard option.

> And why save as lossy jpeg if the image is uncompressed (like screenshots or PNG)

Will change it to png if copied from screenshot or if source is png.

Autistic colleagues?

Using autism as a negative word is as bad as being a racist.

For this beta version there is a single AWS Lambda executer function, which interprets function scripts on every request. All the function info is stored in Redis.
Re:Practical Front-End Architecture on Tuesday September 21, 2021 @09:24AM (#28604792)
I strongly believe Blazor is going to rule that market in couple of years. Single language C# will be good enough to do both backend and frontend.

I will seriously consider your feedback. Thanks for taking time to write, appreciate it.
Re:9K downloads and Zero Sales, Why? on Tuesday July 27, 2021 @11:49AM (#27973847)
This product includes a quality asjuster with live preview, you can adjust and see the resulting image size.
Re:9K downloads and Zero Sales, Why? on Tuesday July 27, 2021 @11:47AM (#27973821)
Thank you very much. Most of the emails entered by downloaders are fake, just like [email protected] :)

I will consider your suggestion of removing the free download link.

Thank you for taking time to give me feedback.

Re:9K downloads and Zero Sales, Why? on Tuesday July 27, 2021 @11:43AM (#27973764)
No, it wont ask for money. Once downloaded and install there is no login/paid/free user check, it wont even communicate with the server.

This is the solution we need in all OS's.

Excellent work.
