After recently having a minor experience with Flywheel and their "30 days cancellation notice", I'm curious what other tools or services maintain unclear cancellation policies. Very interested in hearing about your experiences.

This is interesting. Any hint at what the pricing model will be? I'm not seeing anything.
I can't speak for OP, but GOF (Gang of Four) is a reference to the four authors of a classic Design Patterns text. [1] This repo appears to be Python examples of some of the patterns referenced in the original text.

I have a side project that seems stuck in the mid 6-figures. My 6 month avg spend for AWS is 4.62%. However, that percentage is not linear. It would jump a tier around .85mm
I forgot to add Lobste.rs
Aside from HN, perhaps you could try:
* IRC Channels
* Twitter (search by profile contents and/or hashtags)
* Mastodon? Still a bit unproven, but the atmosphere there resembles the 90s web.
Thank you for the citation; I've ordered the book. Would you happen to have any other book recommendations on the topic, or adjacent topics?
Similarly, adding a setup.sh for clean installs doesn't hurt.
I thought there was a gnat on my monitor. What is that thing on the "h"?
Forgive my ignorance. I thought 18F and Digital Services were interlinked.
It appears some of the 18F crew are behind this. I'm interested to see what unfolds in this repo.
Anytime a substantial amount of attention aggregates in one place, there is an inherent bounty on said eyeballs.
Anecdotal, but I know of roughly two dozen users that are not using Zapier in any way that were also affected by this.
I actually compiled a list of these from the last time this subject was mentioned on HN.

This needed to be said. I think a lot of the problems founders try to solve begin as responsible research, and slowly morph into a means of procrastination. I have certainly done it. Fear of shipping manifesting in 'productive' ways.
>Also consider having someone you trust have access to documentation, passwords, accounts, etc...in case of some kind of emergency, etc. If it's making money, it would be a shame not to be able to pass it on to a beneficiary if you were to die unexpectedly.
This is important. Redundancy and automation are your allies, but it is prudent to implement some sort of keyman insurance.
Mac here. 2d uptime. 54GB written. 255MB read.
My mistake and ignorance on the 'from relative obscurity' part, but the strategy works nonetheless. I'm not knocking the method. If it works, it works. It was just an observation.
It seems Outside magazine propelled itself from obscurity by driving traffic to its site with population contests through Facebook. People tend to vote familiarity, so the larger metro area of the two tends to win. The exceptions are the tourist towns that have regional pull. I'm impressed this method continues to work.
I have had trouble with this as well. I have quite a few side projects. "CEO", "Founder", "President", "Owner", "Managing Director", "Director of Operations", etc all sound a bit too pretentious for the caliber of projects I tend to build on the side. I've put "Head of Customer Support", and "Head of Customer Success" in the past. Does anyone have any other recommendations? Something that doesn't make it look like I'm Will Ferrell and John C Reilly pushing "Prestige Worldwide".
To make a clarification, I was not calling Docker hype, nor specifically remarking on any particular item. I use docker religiously. I even use dokku for about 30+ toy projects.
My remark was to highlight that buzzwords are often used for "me-too" ankle-deep conversations/articles. Whether someone calls it Devops, or Systems Engineering, makes no difference to me. However, I favor pragmatic conversations about the topic, rather than buzzword bingo.
Examples include: "MongoDB sucks.", "Everyone should use Docker", and "What? You mean you're not using Kubernetes for your CRUD app?"
Basically, blanket statements that accomplish nothing more than to send social signals.
I agree, and am guilty as charged.
> I am frustrated by the industry as a whole. I feel industry is simply following marketing trends.
My work lands me in a number of different conferences in non-software industries. This is true for all industries. Its just that ours has a faster revolving door. That, in addition to a low barrier to entry (anyone can claim they're a web developer), leads to a higher degree of this madness. Its just part of human behavior to seek out, and parrot, social signals that let others know you, too, are an insider.
Personally, I have to avoid a great number of those gatherings, since the lot of them are just a circlejerk of low-density information. If I pay too much attention to those events, I catch myself looking down my nose, and since that isn't productive/healthy behavior, I avoid landing myself in a place where guys with buddy-holly glasses and <obscure-craft-beer> argue which Wordpress plugin is the best.
Its the Google Amp Cache[1]
> What gets cached?
> If an AMP page is valid and is requested (so the Google AMP Cache is aware of it), it will get cached. Any resources in AMP pages, including AMP images, also get cached.
> Can I stop content from being cached?
> No. By using the AMP format, content producers are making the content in AMP files available to be cached by third parties. For example, Google products use the Google AMP Cache to serve AMP content as fast as possible.
> Can the cache be crawled?
> No. The Google AMP Cache is roboted to crawlers. We recommend that search engines process cache links according to the guidelines for crawling Google AMP Cache URLs. For more information, see robots.txt."
