“Just abandon your hobbies and interests!”
Be fucking serious
I fucking loathe Matthew Prince. Huge piece of shit
Expenses were more on purpose, they amortized a bunch of hardware depreciation now instead of over 5-7 years with the new tax changes. This is pure greed
Prince is a sociopathic liar
cf bought an email security company a couple years ago so wouldn’t shock me they have good spam filtering.
No, I definitely still use Git on solo projects, there’s no reason not to do so.
if you had a lossless source then sure, otherwise lossy to lossy transcoding is not great.
I've found the Chef project (
https://github.com/chef/chef) to be high quality and easily readable but I've been working with Chef for like 8 years at this point which might be influencing how I view it.
Hashicorp projects also seem very well done too especially given how extensible they are.
which interestingly enough can also have things abbreviated, ie Invoke-Web-Request can be used as iwr.
They stopped including it a while ago, I think they stopped with the XS.
Or, if you get a wired->BT adapter like the FiiO uBTR, it’s another device you have to remember to keep charged.
(Btw there are 3.5mm to lightning adapters that let you charge while listening, just not made by Apple)
"Bet. Enjoy!" works for both.
This looks super interesting and basically exactly what I was looking for in a db product, definitely going to be checking this out!
I've heard a lot of good things about Linode over the years, they slipped my mind while thinking of the more manual options. I'll have to check them out!
Seen GAE referenced across several comments and apparently Snapchat started on GAE as well (lol not that this has any chance or even need in the big success case of scaling up so much) so it's definitely something I will look into!
GAE/Cloud Run are certainly possibilities, I'll have to look into them.
> I'd suggest porting to key/value pair DBs like mongo or firestore.
Why? The data set feels pretty "relational" to me (contests have divisions, divisions have scorings and results, results have players, players have sponsors) and seems to fit SQL. To be fair though, I've not used Mongo or Firestore or a NoSQL db in general before.
The "scorings" part is the only thing that tripped me up designing a schema since it varies between divisions in a contest as well as between contests themselves, so I ended up w/ a JSONB column for scoring rubric for divisions and then in the results table there's both final_score and scoring_breakdown columns, the beakdown being another JSONB column w/ the individual category results.
https://free-for.dev is a great resource I wasn't aware of, thanks for linking it as well as the ideas about YugaByte and CockroachDB!
i like the simplicity of this idea, keeps things in perspective.
Interesting, I hadn't heard of Dokku before (looks similar to Flynn and Deis (looked into those back in 2016 before k8s was the de facto choice) but still actively developed) and I overlooked Lightsail. I'll have to price out DigitalOcean as well, I used them for a project in school because they gave out free credits and the experience was good iirc.
Read it as "cost-efficiently externally hosting" then I guess. For a PoC I might host locally just to show it off to others, but I wouldn't want to deploy it there long-term, mostly since I'm not physically near said lab for several months at a time so if things went down it'd be a drag.

from the ask-hn dept.
As the title says, how do you all host your small personal projects with an eye towards cost? I've ruled out hosting them locally in my home lab.I'm putting together a small personal project related to one of my hobbies, basically a tiny web app. It will have a small Postgres DB, a basic Flask API, and then eventually a TypeScript frontend. The MVP is essentially creating a query-able backend...
Can’t you take photos in RAW though, on iPhones at least? My assumption is that would produce a file w/o the AI processing applied that you could then process yourself, but I don’t know for sure if that’s the case.
the exact thinkpad style is probably patented but it's a pointing stick, a feature common across laptops in the past. I know for sure that some Dells (TrackStick) and HPs (PointStick) had them.
For video theres VapourSynth[0], not sure of an equivalent for audio outside of just scripting ffmpeg but that’s probably not as flexible as what you’re after.

You could've just said you haven't been able to find a solution.
"i cant make friends if i cant make dumb jokes about minorities and women"
yes, for that exact method you need xcode. there's other methods.
nobody asked or cares but you do you
