albasha··on How AWS came to be
And when the year is over, you'll be paying +$50/mo for your setup instead of $5.
albasha··on How AWS came to be
Still, don't use AWS for your new startup. Move to it once you outgrow the offers from Linode and DigitalOcean. You'll save a ton of money.
albasha··on Ask HN: How many of you visit HN especially to read comments?
Everyone.
albasha··on Company wants to steal my brand and domain. What do to?
Do like the nissan.com dude did. You have the domain and no one will ever take it from you. Tarnish their reputation is they are unethical.
albasha··on Ask HN: Do VC's care about the ethical behavior of the companies they fund?
If you can generate enough bad publicity for them, they will.
albasha··on Rails 5.0: Action Cable, API mode, and more
I am very jealous as a Django developer. They decided to keep Channels as a third-party package after all, maintained by a single guy :(
albasha··on Ask HN: Examples of reliable software you enjoy using
pip
albasha··on Habitat — A new approach to automation
Ah, another limiting abstraction layer to learn and to fight.

Bash is plenty good.

albasha··on Moving Away from Python 2
Which framework are you using for the said microservice?
albasha··on Perfect is Scary
Well said. Also, what could be called perfect today is not necessarily "perfect" tomorrow. Example: other frameworks solve the problems at hand in a better way.
albasha··on Visual profiler for Python
Does it work with Django? If so, how?
albasha··on Play Store and Android Apps Coming to Chromebooks
Natively. In most cases, faster than the phone version.
albasha··on Fast.com: Netflix internet connection speed test
I am not sure you two are idiots or just trolling. I am referring to the fact that the guy is trying to steal traffic.
albasha··on Fast.com: Netflix internet connection speed test
I am not sure they would appreciate that as at any moment when there will be traffic on slow.com you may change it to something else.
albasha··on Microsoft Edge supports ES6 modules
Actually I used Netscape and many of its derivatives. That doesn't grant Microsoft a pass.
albasha··on Microsoft Edge supports ES6 modules
I am suspecting the people down voting are too young and didn't experience IE6 hell.
albasha··on Microsoft Edge supports ES6 modules
I tell you how. Posts like this claiming they are cutting-edge will enable to once again take control of browsers and once they are at the top, they will start playing their monopoly game. And the cycle will start again.
albasha··on How Intel missed the smartphone market
> The author deleted this Medium story
albasha··on Ruby has been fast enough for 13 years
He said exactly that about three times in his article.
albasha··on New Sublime Text update
It's sad because it means Sublime dev isn't doing it out of love. Much like Microsoft.

CloudFormation
albasha··on Alphabet slides 5% after missing earnings expectations on revenue of $20.3B
Good luck blocking mobile ads :/

Unlike desktop, they control Android and its ecosystem. They just won't make it easy to block them.

albasha··on Performance These Days
> Improving the sign-up funnel speed on our app by one second resulted in a 11% increase in signups.

I have hard time believing this is the sole reason that caused the increase.

albasha··on GoDaddy CTO and Cloud VP Heads to Google
Last I checked it was for US residents only. I couldn't sign up from Canada.

Thinking about trying AWS domain registration services soon.

albasha··on Kite – Programming Copilot
Developer. I don't care about space because most of my stuff are cloud-based.
albasha··on Kite – Programming Copilot
Not really willing to change the SSD that came with my 2015 Mac.
albasha··on Kite – Programming Copilot
> My computer has a 512GB SSD. I could devote 10GB to indexes of libraries and my own code without blinking

Mine has 128GB, less than 10GB free.

albasha··on Tokamak: A Rust IDE for Atom
It will never be as fast as Sublime. Not before a few years at least.
albasha··on Head of Oracle Linux Moves to Microsoft
So you are saying they are against web apps that replace native apps such as Google Docs and thus it was not in their best interest to make the browser powerful. Interesting.
albasha··on Head of Oracle Linux Moves to Microsoft
That's a bold claim. What's in it for Microsoft to build a shitty browser?
