HatchedLake721··on Show HN: ClickStack – Open-source Datadog alternative by ClickHouse and HyperDX
Still confused where HyperDX ends and where ClickStack starts.

Is HyperDX === ClickStack?

Is ClickStack = HyperDX + something closed source?

Is ClickStack just a cloud version of HyperDX?

Is it same thing, HyperDX, rebranded as ClickStack?

Have you done any magic with the scroll behavior?

Usually the first rule of web development is to not touch scrolling, however, I’m on the iPhone and it’s seems to be faster than native scroll, and surprisingly it feels very good!

Why is it insane? Along with a terminal, I also use a database editor inside my code editor.

That’s the point behind an IDE - integrated developer environment.

HatchedLake721··on Stripe V2
Strange that https://jsonapi.org/examples/ never went into the masses, I suspect because it came out around the same time as GraphQL.

For me it’s the perfect mix between doing REST from scratch and GraphQL.

And it comes with the similar include and expand pattern that Stripe v2 introduced.

100%. Great API is a must have, great SDK is nice to have.

In my case SDK is an unnecessary abstraction.

I wrote 50+ SaaS app integrations from scratch and the last thing I want to do is bring over 50 dependencies rather than make simple HTTP requests.

HatchedLake721··on How I write code using Cursor
FYI, 2024.3 that's coming in November/December will use a new model and the new code completion suggestions rewritten from scratch.

I suspect some are inspired by Cursor?

HatchedLake721··on Show HN: OVault – Simple and Local OTP Management for iOS/macOS
I hate Authy since the day CTRL+C stopped working. That was 10 years ago or so? Why can’t I copy the code via a shortcut? Why do you force me to move my mouse and press the copy button?

I still use Authy but I don’t keep track of it now and I’d switch in a heartbeat.

Now it’s an iOS app running inside MacOS?

Sometimes when TouchID doesn’t work (or it just doesn’t offer it after a timeout) I need to enter a PIN on a numpad to unlock Authy.

Guess what? It doesn’t register my keyboard, so I have to use my mouse again to click some buttons on the numpad.

Seriously?!

HatchedLake721··on What's New in Ruby on Rails 8
> the trend has been to encourage avoiding monolithic architectures like Rails

I'd say's it's completely the opposite.

Yes, microservices might've been the trend in late 2010s, but after everyone got burned by it with unnecessary complexity (unless you're at "Google" scale), people just went back by being productive building modular "monolithic" architectures, and using "microservices" only when absolutely necessary.

HatchedLake721··on Notes on Remitting Stripe Tax to the UK and EU
Unless you’re doing something like 1mil ARR it’s not worth the hassle, just use a Merchant of Record (e.g. Paddle or Lemon Squeezy) so you never have to deal with this and just focus on growth/product/etc.

Paying extra 2% is not gonna kill your margins. If it breaks your bank, just raise your prices by 2%.

(I’m talking about B2B)

HatchedLake721··on Apple found in breach of EU competition rules
You mean distributing .mob files on xda-developers and needing to speak with carriers to distribute your app?

There’s a reason most developers moved in droves to Apple ecosystem for amazing APIs, software and hardware, abandoned Symbian/blackberry/etc and had no issues with the 30% fee since they instantly got market access to millions of consumers.

30% was never an issue to begin with. People just feel today that everyone should get access to a marketplace with billion users for free, often forgetting what it took to build this market in the first place.

HatchedLake721··on Noam Chomsky 'no longer able to talk' after 'medical event'
There's no difference in distance between Latvia/Estonia (NATO members) and Ukraine.

NATO threat to Russia is internal fear-mongering propaganda and I have no idea why Mearsheimer and others talk about it with a serious face. We're not in the middle of 20th century anymore.

On one hand we have EU/US/NATO intelligence saying Kiev will fall in 72 hours to the 2nd best army in the world.

And then on the other hand we must believe Mearsheimer that Putin really fears that EU/US/NATO would start a war out of the blue with a country that has 45% of world's nuclear arsenal in the middle of Europe?

Give me a break.

No one sane in Europe is interested to start a war with Russia.

Europe and especially Merkel have spent the last few decades turning Russia into an important trading partner and tying them heavily into the European market. This worked well for them with the economic union post World War 2 (that turned into the European Union) which stopped wars in Europe for almost a century.

Similar approach was taken with Russia, but sadly it didn't work.

Russia has every right to fear NATO and make plans around it. But to say Russia invaded Ukraine because of NATO (or nazis) is nonsense.

I don't believe you'll even find any Russian opposition/anti-government journalist/scientist/economist or politician talk the "NATO threat" reasoning seriously. They know what Putin has been doing to their country for the last 20+ years, and it has nothing to do with NATO.

HatchedLake721··on Swiss vs. American parenting: Differences according to a US mom
> Switzerland is seeing a huge increase in violent crime. 16.6% between 2021 and 2022.

2020-2023 data should be mostly ignored, especially by news websites trying to generate clickbait content.

It's like when UK politicians gloated how they reduced shoplifting/burglary rates.

Yes, it was lockdown with shops closed and people sitting at home, of course rates went down.

Same thing here, there's no point drawing conclusion in data between 2021 (lockdowns) and 2022.

> The FSO noted [...] crime rates have shot back up to 2019 levels.
