acmecorps··on Claude Fable 5
would you mind sharing your *.md files, for someone who is new at this?
acmecorps··on Landmark L.A. jury verdict finds Instagram, YouTube were designed to addict kids
Just a tangent, interesting that you brought up Blippi. Any issues that you have with Blippi if you don't mind me asking? :D
acmecorps··on We're forking Flutter
We have worked with flutter since 2019; having built internal apps for our staff, public apps for our customers, small utility apps etc- this has been our experience as well. Not only flutter has been rock solid, easy and fast to develop, it has a wide array of libraries. Long may it continue.
acmecorps··on SSH has become our universal (Unix) external access protocol
Sorry, I'm new to Tailscale, but I do setup and use WireGuard. What does Tailscale offers that WireGuard doesn't if I might ask?
acmecorps··on Amazon acquires Fig
Tried to check it out, but I got "Signups are currently disabled" :(
acmecorps··on The end of Reddit? Why the blackout is still going – and what happens next

acmecorps··on Building Games with DragonRuby – A free book on Ruby game dev
I love Ruby, but I always wonder if performance will be an issue if there're many things happening on screen especially on mobile. Does anyone has any experience?
acmecorps··on Cloudflare had a partial outage
I'm new to this whole thing. Can u point me on how I don't depend 100% on CF, if its DNS is down? Is there such a service? (kinda like load balancing, but with DNS?)
acmecorps··on New UUID Formats
You’re not alone. I’ve been migrating my tables to use uuid instead of integers and have been using uuid whenever I have new tables, unless I have very good reason not to. Experience was my teacher.
acmecorps··on Ultorg: A user interface for relational databases [video]
+1 for TablePlus! I absolutely love them for the fast editing as well as quick and dirty filters. Beats typing SQL for simple stuff. These quality of life features are really underrated. Absolutely worth the yearly fee!
acmecorps··on .NET Myths Dispelled
Interesting. I’m a rails developer, and to me one of the core strength of rails is active record (altho some might disagree). How would you compare it with rails active record, and which part do you say it’s much better?

Btw, I know this is superfluous and very shallow, but for some reason, I can’t get over the C# syntax because of how enterprisey it is. I much prefer ruby, but I guess it’s a matter of preferences and taste

acmecorps··on How it feels to learn JavaScript in 2016
I don't know; I might be old, but for a lot of _websites_, jQuery is absolutely perfect. I love jQuery for its simplicity :)
acmecorps··on Part of Windows 11 is a revamped Windows Subsystem for Linux
Running it in a remote VM somewhere on the cloud you mean?
acmecorps··on Mina: Lightweight, Constant-Sized Blockchain
Not to be confused with Mina: blazing fast application deployment tool (https://github.com/mina-deploy/mina)
acmecorps··on How to boost your popularity on OkCupid using CSRF and a JSON type confusion
I'd like to underpromise, but overdeliver - that's my motto!
acmecorps··on Python for Excel: A Modern Environment for Automation and Data Analysis
What apt timing. I'm trying to do the same thing with Ruby; anyone knows a good Ruby gem dealing with Excel?
acmecorps··on I wrote a children's book / illustrated guide to Apache Kafka
Not OP, but I think it was a bit of tongue in cheek comment (I might be wrong tho) ;)
acmecorps··on How and why to become a PostgreSQL contributor
Is that really THE Julian Assange?
acmecorps··on Deep JavaScript
I might be missing something; is the book free online..? Or, is there content that's paid only?
acmecorps··on My service to check whether an item is counterfeit or not
Congrats on being on the HN homepage! :). I’m wondering tho - does this check if a website that claims to be selling something online is a scam or not?
acmecorps··on Space Cloud: Open-Source Firebase and Heroku on Kubernetes
Noob question: does this supports offline syncing like firestore?
acmecorps··on Look, your email validation logic is very, very likely wrong
I used to do complex email validations (like regexes etc), but have avoided using them for a long time. Currently, my email validations are 3 steps:

1. Using the <input type="email">

2. Checking if "@" exists

3. Sending the actual email (which practically speaking - is the actual validation that I needed)

Covers 99.99% of all cases I say.

acmecorps··on Crystal 1.0 – What to expect
I’m very interested in migrating a production rails apps to crystal / lucky. Was your previous exp using rails?
acmecorps··on Apple's privacy labels show WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger hunger for user data

acmecorps··on Ask HN: 1Password vs. LastPass vs. Bitwarden for teams ?
I have been an avid user for LastPass since I knew password manager was a thing. But, I’ve been hearing about how good 1Password is from lots of sources. Seems like you know and have experience on both sides. Would you mind sharing why 1Password is better (or even have better experience) compared to LastPass? I use it personally and not in an enterprise setting. Your comment might just push me to use 1Password :)
acmecorps··on Babelfish: SQL Server-to-Postgres Translation Layer
Absolutely, absolute love pgloader! So painless and quite straightforward. Saved me lots of time migrating my production db. Highly, highly recommend if anyone wants to migrate from MySQL to PG!
acmecorps··on Show HN: Utility to change macOS Big Sur menu bar color
Off topic, but I love that Apple is still using NS as the prefix; I wonder how long that will last :)
acmecorps··on 2020 Mac Mini – Putting Apple Silicon M1 To The Test
You have the Mac Mini, which is way below $1k, but for mobile macOS? yes, $1k is the minimum
acmecorps··on The Greatest Teaching Techniques Don't Compute over Zoom
I think we all know that this is true, that online courses have subpar experience compared to physically being in the classrooms especially with younger kids. The question is, how can we make an online classroom experience be as good as it can get and also scales up?
acmecorps··on You can bypass YouTube ads by adding a dot after the domain
I think, the uBlock Origin context menu does that?
