I agree that DO would handle the load. The con is that it costs 5$+tax. Where as netlify is free and CDN and caching is taken care by netlify. Saves time

I recently moved my site[0] from WordPress to Netlify Used HUGO and then one of my Post regarding MacBook Thermals was trending on HN, The site had more than 12K visitors. If I had been using WordPress I could only imagine how catastrophic that would be. Though I crossed their 100GB limit. But since this was a rare spike in traffic I feel their free plan is very generous. Netlify+ static site generators is good alternative for WordPress. [0] https://bsid.io

I should have planned it better and taken more before and after data with fan speeds. I was a bit worried if anything would have gone wrong this experiment would be an expensive mistake. Fortunately, everything was fine in the end. I have been using my laptop since I could see the difference. The Fans don't kick in that often and it had a noticeable impact on battery life.

I guess the dust wasn't that significant to affect the results. This can be seen in the post-Thumbnail. The image was taken immediately after opening the backplate.

Re:The end of India’s ‘IT miracle’? on Thursday June 07, 2018 @12:28PM (#17257369)
Let me be clear - “Not all Indian Developers are bad”. The reason why quality of engineers at Infy, wipro, tcs etc. is so bad is because of their recruitment process. They recruit engineers from various colleges like herd of sheeps and call it mass recruitment. Irrespective of the his specialisation (Mechanical, Electronics or Chemical etc.) Students practice code for a day and so go for interview and unfortunately many get recruited. Then there is one year of Training. After training these engineers get into software development. Imagine a student who never wrote a line of code in his entire life suddenly has become a developer. Indian college and companies need to change how they recruit students.

papers which are not available/are being downloaded will give that message. You can try after sometime
Re:SciHub Alternative which actually works on Tuesday March 06, 2018 @11:52AM (#16530010)
The above site automatically checks for working Sci-hub Links and uses the working link to get the papers.

You can just zoom out. It 'works' properly on desktop.
