Your math adds up to 525,600,000 iOS devices per year. That can't possibly be right

Re:Inertia.js – Build React, Vue, or Svelte apps with server-side routing
on Friday September 06, 2024 @07:12PM (#41470353)
I switched from Svelte/SvelteKit to Svelte/Laravel and my productivity went through the roof. Same would apply with Rails or probably other batteries included backends. SvelteKit gives you SSR but that’s it. Laravel/Rails/etc gives you database, queues, real time support, authentication, authorization, the list goes on.
I plan to make my next YouTube video making my case for why Laravel is better with Svelte than SvelteKit is https://youtube.com/@samldev

In this scenario you’d also have to pay for bandwidth since that’s the variable cost here. The more views you get, the more you pay. And obviously you wouldn’t get any money from YouTube for views since they aren’t making money from your videos.
Genuinely curious, would you still go for it?

Cool idea!
It’s strange to list “Up to 10 customers, free” as “free” when it’s one of the features of a paid tier. It’s not free it’s part of what you’re paying for.
Re:Is a 'slow' swimming pool impeding world records?
on Tuesday July 30, 2024 @07:14AM (#41107938)
I was a college swimmer, qualified for Olympic Trials in 2012 and 2016. There are absolutely slow and fast pools. It basically comes down to two things:
1. The depth - which is only 7ft in Paris, unusually shallow for a competition pool.
2. The sides. Does the water spill over the sides into the gutters, or smash into a wall and bounce back, creating more chop.
A trained eye can see all the swimmers in Paris struggling in their last 10-20 meters (heck, an untrained eye can spot some of these). Bummer that it makes the meet feel slow but at least it generally affects all the swimmers equally
Show HN: Buckets – control your spending and build your wealth
Hey HN, this is my first side project launch that I've actually seen through to the finish line.My wife and I have used "buckets" to track/budget our spending for a few years. This was the first method to really stick for us after trying multiple other budgeting apps that made the process too overwhelming. We just used a spreadsheet to track it for a while, but the mobile experience of...

Shameless plug of my Go library for writing Home Assistant automations - for any HA users out there that want to be able to just write code instead of fussing with UI (built-in automations, Node Red, etc)

Do you actually run a backend for the syncing? I imagine you’d have to find a way to monetize with enough users if so.

So far I’ve only got a few posts related to local-first home automation, which for me is Home Assistant and my open source library gome-assistant for writing automations in Go.
I plan to add some write ups for my woodworking projects as well when I get around to it. It exists for me to share things with friends/family and any others that are interested, and I don’t intend to force myself to write on any particular cadence.

Shameless plug, I wrote a Golang library for writing Home Assistant automations called gome-assistant [0]. The API looks sorta similar to this C# one, I only briefly glanced at netdaemon though.

Hey HN - I made a Go library for writing Home Assistant automations. I've been using it for all my Home Assistant automations for a couple months now. I wrote a short blog explaining why I wrote gome-assistant here https://saml.dev/blog/gome-assistant-intro.Give it a try and let me know what you think.

You may want to check your site on mobile Safari. I’m on an iPhone and every time one of your scroll animations plays it zooms the screen out. Really jarring, enough to make me click off.
