Re:Google May Have to Get Used to Third Place in the Cloud on Wednesday November 14, 2018 @05:46PM (#18454913)
For dashboards, they're all equally terrible IMO and break numerous web patterns (middle click to open in new tab).

But every time I deploy a new AKS services, it takes 30 min for it to be ready. I luckily haven't had to do this recently (~4 months?) and I'm loathe to try again. GKE on the other hand is within 2 minutes.

Except that Downtown is the only place in SD where being car-free is generally possible. SD has terrible public transportation especially now that Amtrak won't run later Coaster routes.
What makes you say Cruise is faking? The disengagement data would suggest they're the most viable self-driving car venture behind Waymo.

Google doesn't even trust itself. My VPN is hosted on GCP and I get these regularly. Sometimes the header is missing and I have to guess which item I'm trying to select.

Tell HN: I will build your MVP/project in 2 weeks for $5k

There's lots of chatter on HN about startup ideas or side project ideas.I am curious if the HN audience can funnel better ideas than the general public. I will maintain a statusboard of the outcomes at https://www.raindeer.io/ and publish a writeup of the experience.I am willing to develop your idea for $5k (usd) in 2 weeks or less if you agree to a few rules. 1. I can freely discuss the...

There's a good chance you're not missing something - Lots of people don't like SPA's because the consistency of a normal website isn't there. The best SPA's I've used don't actually feel like SPA's and it's worth mentioning that no one seems to mind Amazon/Github/Youtube not using React/Vue/Angular

The search term you want is 'react ssr' or 'react server side rendering'

True, best not to make generalizations.

Hm the advice to be a user would apply for startup founders right? I definitely wouldn't expect engineers to be active users especially in a more mature company with PMs.

This is a bit different, but you could also look into Harvard Extension
Sorry for the late reply - I'm using Chromium Version 67 dev build. Interesting, I'm p sure other webgl sites have worked fine for me. fwiw I'm on integrated graphics

Was about to write this exact reply. A single database and web server goes surprisingly far.
That's some of the worst information redaction I've seen around. I might even think it's intentional
I don't quite understand how GAE would affect using Firebase or not. Even on standard you would still use Firebase Auth, there is no GAE specific authentication.
imo the best way is to look at what other's have built. Here's some of my favorite talks that go from 0 users to millions.

Re:Alternatives to Google Products on Monday June 11, 2018 @02:35AM (#17282267)
I don't think this pricing is active per https://www.fastmail.com/help/account/member.html

I signed up and I only see the same plans as on the pricing page

Hey, I picked a similar stack when I developed my product. Basically we started with EJS templates since they were the closest to normal HTML but had to move to serverside Vue + Express because of security issues when mixing Vue + EJS.

I'd love to talk more about what/why if you have any questions. Shoot me an email @ [redacted] if you're interested.

Re:People using Venmo to spy on cheating spouses on Tuesday May 29, 2018 @03:11PM (#17182106)
That makes sense, there really wasn't a good system beforehand for paying others.

My primary concern with Venmo holding the cash is that I'd much rather have my bank in charge of it than some other random entity - The fact that it's now Paypal-owned doesn't help either

Re:My First Year of Freelancing on Wednesday May 23, 2018 @03:47PM (#17137534)
Seems like a problem with trying to remote for hardware in the first place? But this is a great example of how (remote) freelancing/consulting doesn't work for everything.

Anything involving frontend. Dropwizard seems to fill the niche of API server very well but not beyond that imo

Re:Reddit 1.0 source code on Friday March 30, 2018 @03:26PM (#16719061)
I'm guessing they meant something like jinja,ejs,jade,etc. where you have your html in a separate file and your lisp code would just render said html file with the necessary variables.

I think you implied that in your last point but I'd be curious to find a designer who knew lisp better than HTML.

Interesting, anyone else have experience with health bill sharing programs? Hadn't heard of this before
Re:Ask HN: Using Kotlin for web application back end on Monday March 05, 2018 @12:02AM (#16518859)
Our backend is currently 50% Kotlin with hopefully 100% when we do a full migration. I think you're already aware of the benefits such as data classes which remove the cruft of normal POJOs. What Kotlin doesn't gift you is a magically better architecture. There's still verbosity in querying a db, serializing JSON, mapping SQL results. Those things by themselves are of course not difficult but add in different layers and abstractions and suddenly the language itself doesn't help that much when your overall flow is just as complicated.

I'm not sure what is necessarily better right now - I am pretty happy with Kotlin (using Dropwizard) and the type safety that comes with it.
