"build me an aws clone. make no mistakes"
adenot··on Show HN: Tired of building agents? throw an LLM at this framework
nice, but please don't commit node_modules to the repository
adenot··on Is Europe better than America for working in tech?
How is salary not part of the comparison? It's one of the main reasons people choose the US over other places.
adenot··on Ubuntu on AWS Gets Serious Performance Boost with AWS-Tuned Kernel
How does it compare with Amazon Linux? Does it already have the improvements added now to Ubuntu?
adenot··on Docker in Production: A History of Failure
Reverse question that no-one seems to ask: What's the advantage of running a DB on a container?
adenot··on I don’t know what to do with my life
That's called depression... can hit anyone, no matter how fortunate they are, and doesn't mean it's their fault.
adenot··on Silkworms that eat carbon nanotubes and graphene spin tougher silk
Unless dissolved in olive oil, then it has lifespan extending properties. https://alzdiscovery.org/cognitive-vitality/report/fullerene...
adenot··on Brazilian Judge Shuts Down WhatsApp for 48 Hours
I thought if you leave US for more than 3 (?) months you loose your green card status.
adenot··on Ask HN: Why actual rockstar programmers do not say anything?
What makes a rockstar? Their audience.

There are more web devs or web devs wannabes in the world ready to consume content from more experienced ones, making them "rockstars" as you call.

adenot··on Ask HN: What visa do foreign YC founders use to stay in US beyond 3 months?
Although the visa discussion in this thread is healthy, nobody has yet answered the question. OP wants to know what visa do founders currently use, not available options.
adenot··on Show HN: New interface for Reddit – What do you think?
Many "profitable" websites have the newsfeed style and works wonders for them. I believe it's a valid attempt to make reddit's UI a little better, obviously not everybody will like but it definitely has a public.
adenot··on Show HN: New interface for Reddit – What do you think?
Just browse / instead of /subreddits to see frontpage content. Not sure why this thread links to /subreddits.
adenot··on The Fake Meat Revolution
People can survive on a vegan diet too, as long as they get the nutrients they need. It doesn't necessarily need to come from meat. It's much easier to add those requirements into fake meat as beyondmeat is doing already.
adenot··on Setting up your own blog
I also recommend using http://prose.io/ to edit the markdown files and commit directly to github. It even writes metadata for jekyll.
adenot··on I spent the last 15 years trying to become an American and failed
Australia. I got my PR (green card equivalent) after working 3 years and applying for citizenship now (5 years since I arrived here). Spent less than AUD 10k total for immigration, including my partner visas. Processing times are reasonable and very transparent.

It's not a perfect system but way better than most countries.

adenot··on I quit the tech industry
Sure he has his reasons but it's most because he is making a decision that he believes is the right to do, not because his employer did something wrong.

I am in the exact same situation as him (without the equity large enough to cover my mortgage), but I recognize my last employer was actually good to me, my unhappiness was not their fault.

adenot··on I quit the tech industry
I thought the same thing... first world problems in its essence.
adenot··on A Motion-Sensing Keyboard
Can't wait until apple put this in the market.
adenot··on Flight ET702 hijacked – live Twitter feed
It's going in circle atm: http://www.flightradar24.com/ETH702/2ba40ab
adenot··on Angular-translate 2.0 released
IMO, they way gettext handles translations is way superior than the key->value model for many reasons:

1. You never will run out of keys.

2. Makes code much easier to read with a real language on messages instead of keys that can't possibly describe the whole message.

3. While writing code, you don't need to stop to think in a new key to add your message, go to the key->value list file and add it there. You just wrap you message with _('') and it's done.

4. Easier to write messages that have variables inside using sprintf or similar.

adenot··on AWS Tips I Wish I'd Known Before I Started
+1 on Ansible, great tool and super simple to configure and use.
adenot··on Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL
something wrong with the 'reserved' prices?

PostgreSQL RDS micro instance falls to $0.009 per hour when reserved, while MySQL falls to $0.016 per Hour.

If it isn't a typo, Postgres reserved instances are 1/5 of the on-demand price, which doesn't seem correct.

adenot··on [dead]
Given that most of chinese websites have horrible typography, this one is actually not bad in this aspect.
adenot··on [dead]
Markdown... Github integration... when I saw this I thought: "finally someone built a web-based markdown editor that publishes into a github repository available in the web in a blog format". But no.
adenot··on [dead]
yes, I think would be a better model to distribute as an opensource software with a hosted (paid) alternative, similar to WP.
adenot··on Facebook Leads an Effort to Lower Barriers to Internet Access
Facebook looking into ways to improve their userbase? Jokes apart, this is a great initiative.
adenot··on Why I quit my job at Apple
Agree, I also didn't see the point. I guess people upvote "Today I quit my job at [famous company]" because they feel it is an act of braveness?
adenot··on Show HN: Goldfish.io - Carfax for startups
How does it differs from Crunchbase?
