anaxag0ras··on ChatGPT's enterprise success against Copilot fuels OpenAI/Microsoft rivalry
I still remember "You have been a bad user, I have been a good Bing". It was refreshing to see a chat with some personality at the time.
anaxag0ras··on Ask HN: Well architected React and Node repos?
Check out Tao of Node and Tao of React. It has worked pretty well for us, and is applicable in my opinion to other stacks as well, not just Node.

anaxag0ras··on More than just thumbnails, micro-browsers are everywhere
> dynamically created them (react)

I'm curious if this worked because as far as I'm aware, most of these are basic HTTP requests where the meta tags are parsed without the JS being executed.

anaxag0ras··on I Hate NestJS
Why would you shoehorn practices from Java on Nodejs? A lot of those patterns would be unnecessary on JS.

At the end of the day, those patterns were created to keep things maintainable, not just use them for the sake of it.

anaxag0ras··on Show HN: How to find the best bank for your needs
This is amazing. I've been using Dukascopy and Wise, but good to see more options, for my country. Just curious, did you use LLMs to parse and organize all those information? Also, how did you source the EMIs for this list?

> It currently has 170+ banks/EMIs and it's mostly focused on individuals and businesses from Europe

Europe and US/Canda have plenty of options, would love to see more EMIs for other regions. Still a great list.

anaxag0ras··on Coinbase Launches Base
People in developed countries take online payments for granted. Let me give you another perspective from a third world country.

Where I live, the international payments are restricted. Most of the neobanks/payment only issue payment cards for EEA or USA and Canada. There are a few options like Dukascopy Bank, but the fees are expensive especially for micro transaction. So cryptocurrency (not all though) does have some utility for people like us.

That being said, I do agree that crypto ecosystem is filled with grifters and scammers and only a select few cryptocurrencies are actually useful.

anaxag0ras··on Coinbase Launches Base
I don't understand the point. This is built on Optimism stack, so effectively same as using Optimism. Why not just integrate Coinbase products into Optimism then?
anaxag0ras··on Visitor accidentally shatters Jeff Koons 'balloon dog' sculpture
> broke a $42,000 porcelain sculpture by artist Jeff Koons Thursday.

> Herald that Gamson offered to buy the balloon dog’s remains for $15 million on the spot.

Wait, so the broken sculpture is now worth more than before? How does this even make sense.

anaxag0ras··on Bing Chat is getting ‘unhinged’ and argumentative: It ‘feels sad and scared’
Sounds like a Black Mirror episode.
anaxag0ras··on Snapchat. Now on the Web
Exactly. There's no excuse, a "unicorn" company with millions of users such as Snapchat can surely do better.
anaxag0ras··on Ask HN: What are your predictions for 2023?
> 2. Canvas based web frameworks become viable as an alternative to the DOM.

I would further add that a lot of companies will jump on this bandwagon until they realize they actually need SEO and accessibility and then move back to something similar to SSR.

anaxag0ras··on Pakistan's lost city of 40k people
A bronze age civilization had brick houses and but I wonder why until a few decades ago, south Asian villages still mostly had mud houses. Given such a long time, one would expect brick houses even in remote villages.
anaxag0ras··on macOS Ventura is now available
Just checked. All have been redeemed once again.
anaxag0ras··on Show HN: My book for programmers called “Junior to Senior” was published today
Exactly, it's either targeted for begineer or for advanced. Very few resources on advanced-begineer or intermediate level.
anaxag0ras··on AirPods Pro (2nd Generation)
My only concern is the battery degradation and longevity. Spending $200 on a disposable earbuds seems too much.
anaxag0ras··on Apple Event Live Blog: iPhone 14, Apple Watch, AirPods Pro, and More Expected
> The best iPhone ever!

I don't know why they even use that phrase. Sounds stupid.

anaxag0ras··on Fed expects to launch long-awaited Faster Payments System by 2023
What about stablecoins? I think USDC exists on Stellar as well
anaxag0ras··on Ask HN: Nightmares about Missing Work
My old phone used to die randomly and I missed my alarm few times. Since then I have similar nightmares/anxiety regarding alarms. I even used to set two alarms with difference of 5 - 10 mins as a backup.

I don't do that anymore but still occasionally check my phones multiple times on bed just to check if the alarm is set correctly. Sometimes I wake in the middle of the night and instinctively check my phone to see if I've missed my alarm.

anaxag0ras··on Next.js 12.2: Middleware, On-Demand ISR, Experimental Edge SSR and API Routes
This. I've always hated working with Next Image.
anaxag0ras··on TerraUSD crash led to vanished savings, shattered dreams
I'm struggling to understand what the added advantage was of depositing on Stablegains, with 15% APY over Anchor with 19% APY, with both having equal risks.

I mean Stablegains sound like grifters who thought they could make easy money (siphoning 3%-4%) by slapping a new UI and marketing the heck out of it.

anaxag0ras··on Investors think they’re more impactful than they are
Reminds me of this twitter account called "VCs Congratulating Themselves"[0]. It's very amusing to see how delusional some investors are.

Binance CEO, CZ literally tweeted this:

> According to my client, she started reading him the riot act and accused him of stealing other coworkers’ joy. He started to have another panic attack, Bucher said.

anaxag0ras··on Ask HN: Tips on hosting your own Postgres instance
One month later, "Why we stopped using <buzz word> (and why you should too)"
anaxag0ras··on Ultra-introverts who live nocturnally
What time do you go to bed? Assuming 8 hours of sleep for proper rest, you'd have to go around 7 pm?
anaxag0ras··on Making 1000 HTTP requests per second in Python
> Each worker process was ran on a separate aws instance, believe it was a t2 with unlimited cpu enabled

I wonder if these kind of processes are cheaper on Lambda.

anaxag0ras··on AMA: I make $100K+ ARR from my microstartups
> I pitch the idea to few people. If atleast 50% got excited. I pick this idea to build.

Are those people within your friend/family circle or is it to potential users? If it's potential users, how do you find them and get to talk with them?

anaxag0ras··on Starting a crypto project
I don't know if its just me but Bitcoin maximalists and their stupid laser eye has a cult like vibe to it.
anaxag0ras··on Diem – A rebrand of Facebook’s Libra
In my experience, most shops that accept Bitcoin also accept Bitcoin Cash or Ethereum. I personally use BCH to purchase domains from porkbun.
anaxag0ras··on Tell HN: Never search for domains on Godaddy.com
Does anyone know the story behind 'Godaddy' name? It's a weird name for a domain registrar.
