Ecio78··on Ask HN: How would you develop this service?
I am more concerned about having an easy way to develop the frontend, more than where to host it.
Ecio78··on Ask HN: How would you develop this service?
I don't believe I'd end up dossing the service as I would be querying the API in the same way their own website and mobile app do. Considering also I expect my service to be used lightly, my traffic would probably be minimal compared to the their regular one. But in any case I was thinking about caching/grouping the request to optimize that.
Ecio78··on Ask HN: How would you develop this service?
it's just a single site, not many, it's very specific. what I have used for my purpose is the same REST API that their website (and possibly mobile app) use to pull the availability
Ecio78··on Ask HN: How would you develop this service?
it seems to me that supabase would cover only the backend (auth, storage, db etc.) and not the frontend part though

Ecio78··on US Attorney Announces $3.36B Cryptocurrency Seizure in Connection with Silk Road
this bitcoin theft happened in September 2012, before Ross Ulbricht got arrested (in 2013) so when Silk Road was active and not a Feds' honeypot like you describe.
Ecio78··on 37signals Leaves the Cloud
It's true also for companies where CIOs are going to Gartner events and don't want to appear like the only ones not being "cloud-only" or "cloud-first"

Then you end up with BS like the ones described here https://www.the-investing-desk.com/cloud-costs-are-in-a-bubb... where to justify the fact that cloud is much more expensive managers start to throw random numbers vaguely justified just to show that cloud is actually better.

I saw similar things in Corporate world even when choosing a colo/service partner vs doing in-house... managers asking us detailed costs for infra needed (servers, network, licenses etc.) and when you were getting something like 30 in-house vs 100 hosted they just threw some random FTE count to support it to get to 110 vs 100.

Ecio78··on Ask HN: Am I getting older or did typing on the iPhone become unbearable?
I use SwiftKey (but without swipe) on both Android and iPhone. Now that MS is retiring it I am not sure what I will do when I switch iPhone (fortunately I have just upgraded to 14 a couple of months ago so for few years I should be fine..)
Ecio78··on Ask HN: Anyone working 4 day week here, as an employee?
I was working classic full time 40h/week, then took a parental leave for my first newborn that allowed to work 80% (so 32h/week).

Based on the law here, the employer could have denied the 80% but I could have asked 6m totally off and they couldn't have said no. Anyway, they accepted the 80%. This lasted for 20months. I then asked to have another one for my second kid, as no issue arose during the first one and I was productive, it was granted.

Finally, I negotiated to remain at 80% permanently.

Ecio78··on Reddit’s database has two tables (2012)
wouldn't you be able to do the same even with FK in place? what FK would prevent you from doing would be deleting a user before all his relationships are removed. That should prevent you to ending up with inconsistent data inside the tables.
Ecio78··on Bitcoin Paper Wallets (2015)
That's fine for storing, the problem is that you need the key to sign any tx, so if you just have the paper wallet you need to import it to a computer or mobile device each time you need to do it while if you have an hw device the key never leaves it
Ecio78··on Bitcoin Paper Wallets (2015)
There are also tools that allow to take your seed and split it in m subgroups so that you need at least n out of m to rebuild it. So instead of giving password to a single family member (or two relatives, half and half) you can give it to more people and you can still recreate it even if some lose it

Ecio78··on Azure Cosmos DB, a globally distributed database
Totally agree with you. Even if you have delayed copies, you still need proper backup in place. They recently implemented long term retention for Azure SQL backups in Azure: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/azure-sql-database-no... as it was only allowing 'til 35 days. I would expect that something similar is provided also for this type of DBs
Ecio78··on pfSense: Open source network firewall distribution
4-5 years ago I used pfsense as internet gateway and vpn for point to point in an office with probably 20-30users. We had it clustered between a VM (on ESXi) and a physical appliance on alix (if I recall correctly, or another of the supported sff appliances). The VM was rock solid while the appliance from time to time was experiencing issues (stuck/memory exhausted I think) up to the point that DHCP lease were not released anymore and the office was de facto unable to work.

I think at the end we just kept the VM running alone.

AFAIK almost all the glasses frames are worth few dollars. What you pay for branded ones is marketing and bit of design, not generally the material quality.

Ecio78··on Show HN: Make an app by adding JSON to this app
I heard that running MacOS on a non-Apple hardware was not considered a legal solution. Am I wrong?

I thought my idea of having a test Jasonette app where you put the url from the app after the boot to do your testing could be very easily doable and way not it could allow also to test the various existing apps that OP created: he could create a test app that downloads a list of his demo apps (so it is always up to date), show a dropdown or similar to choose the demo app + allow you to specify your own custom test url using the keyboard of the device. In this way you have both a demo and a test application :)

Ecio78··on Show HN: Make an app by adding JSON to this app
Hi Ethan, it looks very interesting, one feedback and one question: Feedback: you should try to slow down the gif demos, at least in my Chrome/laptop they are quite fast and the viewer can't really appreciate it completely

Question: I see that XCode is required, I don't have a Mac only an iPhone). Any possible way to use Jasonette without a Mac? I've seen some services like Mac in a cloud but I was more thinking about alternative methods. For example, as the only setup required is to provide the URL, couldn't you create a generic Jasonette test/dev app where you can provide the url and do the testing/development directly only on the json side?

Ecio78··on BOINC – Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing
I am wondering if it's more efficient to spend CPU cycles of PCs and mobile phones at home at the cost of increasing the electricity bill or to donate the same amount directly to the project so that they can use it for optimised (GPU?) servers that have better computational power per dollar.
