Re:Deno 2.8 on Friday May 22, 2026 @12:05PM (#48237780)
I use (and like) both. Bun is a drop-in replacement for node. If you don't want to fuss with test config, tsconfig, esmodules, etc., I find that it just works. Deno has a nice standard lib, great CLI support, and I used to love deno deploy but its gotten very clunky these days.

I had a 2015 f type. The day before it was to be transferred to the new owner, the engine smoked out on the highway. I don’t recall why, might have been an oil leak.

I’m also interested to hear ideas for this.

User isolation in a single data store. Basically, many customers sharing a single database securely without sharing their data.

We are at Scribe[1]. We do it to make sense of knowledge workflows on computers to predict the next step in the process (our software points out where in the DOM a user might need to interact with next). We fine tune with tons of JSON data and DOM data. I’m sure doing it with code no more complicated.

Does this share your screen across domains? If so, how?

Re:Zero-Trust Architecture with Caddy on Monday February 05, 2024 @08:52AM (#39261179)
This is a great article! It’s very helpful to see what a system-wide setup looks like with Caddy. It’s also crazy how easy caddy makes configuration for a zero-trust environment. Well done.
Re:Homebrew 4.1.0 on Thursday July 20, 2023 @02:40PM (#36804786)
Yeah I don't understand that logic. How do you improve or even know what's going on with the service if you have no analytics?
Re:Ask HN: Should I give up and get a job? on Thursday March 03, 2022 @04:47PM (#30547474)
My advice is to never actually build anything for a business unless you have paying customers beforehand. I made a simple landing page with Webflow that described a product idea I had and got mid-five figures from a company to essentially build the MVP for them.

You need to validate your ideas before you invest your time. Otherwise you’re building in a vacuum and you will continue to fail.

Re:Heroku Is Down on Wednesday February 02, 2022 @11:17AM (#30179604)
I tried out DO App Platform and it’s pretty decent. There were a few bugs I encountered. One glaring issue is the lack of static IP’s which was a must for me. They claim they’re working on it, however.
Re:Heroku Is Down on Wednesday February 02, 2022 @11:15AM (#30179568)
I use fly.io in production. It’s very good if you’re comfortable with a CLI. However, I wouldn’t say it’s nearly as beginner friendly as Heroku. Heroku is dummy easy to get started. Netlify is about as simple too.
Using Caddy it’s not too hard if you know what you’re doing. But if you have many nodes you’re deploying it’s starts to get more complicated. A lot of people don’t know what they’re doing, however.
I started AppMasker (https://appmasker.com) a few months ago. It’s basically a reverse-proxy as a service (using Caddy) and makes adding custom domains to your web app a breeze.

Still working on my marketing pitch so feedback is welcome!

Re:Rich Harris joins Vercel to work on Svelte full time on Monday November 15, 2021 @12:20AM (#29224006)
Agreed. It's not perfect and can be buggy.
Re:Rich Harris joins Vercel to work on Svelte full time on Thursday November 11, 2021 @12:48PM (#29190782)
There is typescript support.
I think too much time is spent defending the decision unnecessarily. It’s a good switch.

Re:Storage is now available in Supabase (YC S20) on Tuesday March 30, 2021 @01:04PM (#26637209)
When you say firebase, are you also referring to Firestore? Because Firestore is way more powerful.

Simple idea, love it. Well done.
There’s two now- the Series S is the entry-level model.
So by that logic, you’d be as comfortable being entirely surrounded by former violent criminals at your work as you would be seated exclusively by citizens with spotless records?
