bahador··on PCR is a surprisingly near-optimal technology
one of the coolest parts about the original inception was the application of taq polymerase. veritasium did a video of about it not too long ago. a friend of mine and a man whom i very much respect was mullis's lab manager at the time.

bahador··on Browser-in-Browser
I may be missing the point of this, other than maybe being able to bypassing some network filtering. At first I was excited, thinking perhaps it's browser based and that it somehow bypassed CORS. But upon further inspection, it's piping everything through their domain. I have no idea whether or not they're trustworthy. I would not be submitting any credentials with this.

bahador··on Show HN: DBOS – Transactional Serverless for TypeScript Apps
Yes but it says nothing about cpu/ram and/or memory/storage/io optimized hardware, cost per hour, or anything like that. Does it scale to zero? Does it autoscale? Will it throttle with spikes in load?
bahador··on Show HN: DBOS – Transactional Serverless for TypeScript Apps
I browsed the documentation and saw no references to provisioning database compute/memory resources. Is the persistence serverless, autoscaling, and scale to zero?

bahador··on My Experience as a SWE Intern at Goldman Sachs
This is what I meant by "dangerous".

Static sites can do more than render text. Even collapsing comments on HN doesn't work with JavaScript disabled.

bahador··on My Experience as a SWE Intern at Goldman Sachs
You did nothing wrong. No need to apologize.
bahador··on My Experience as a SWE Intern at Goldman Sachs
Asking hners to enable JavaScript is dangerous. Many here are anti JavaScript.

bahador··on PixelBlock – Gmail extension that blocks email open tracking
I could very well be wrong but I always thought that if you disable loading pictures by default, that tracking pixels would be blocked as well. Unless you click on "Show Pictures" that is.
bahador··on CeramicSpeed’s Driven Concept Might Become the Most Efficient Bicycle Drivetrain
i've ridden single speed exclusively for ever a decade. first as a commuter, then fixed in a velodrome, and now freewheel in the mountains. i recently built my first geared bike since my first "real" bike i got as a teenager. it uses shimano xt di2 2x11 on onyx hubs. it's absolutely silent except for the shifts, which sound robotic. it's pretty fantastic. it was the only way i could get along with derailleurs, as i experienced the same problems you mentioned above. my commuter now has a shimano nexus 3 igh, and that's pretty great too.

As a daily visitor and rare poster on HN, I have to say that this is in pretty poor taste.
