cebu··on The case for not sanitising fairy tales
Of course. It certainly depends on context. Maybe some children need a respite from safe places. Others, an invite into them

Maybe the world is dangerous, but maybe that doesn’t mean we have to be afraid. It’s dangerous business stepping out your front door after all

cebu··on A Lost Hiker’s SOS Signal Sparked a Wildfire. Now He Must Pay $300k
I worked at a summer camp in college. We had some campers and staff build a fire near the river and neglect to fully douse the embers. Hours later there was an "all hands" call on the radio. The fire had spread in about a 10 foot radius by the time we got to it. Since the soil was so loose and sandy, it had caught the roots on fire. Took hours of digging to put it out. Could not have been controlled without a team, equipment, and a quick response.

cebu··on Ask HN: What would be your stack if you are building an MVP today?
Currently building with Next/TRPC/Prisma/PG and would choose it again. I might be a little slower than starting with a full-featured MVC kit like Laravel or Rails, but having an e2e type system is so worth it to me. I do miss having a more mature ORM.

I'm constantly tempted by Phoenix but desuaded by the lack of a type system. Does elixir somehow make up for the lack of types as a functional language? Also, I can reuse a good deal from my current stack in a react-native app for mobile, which I'd miss out on in another framework.

Wish I could say Flutter, but have not been impressed by the web experience.

That latency was the deal breaker for me. Kind of defeats having your app running on metal near your customers if they're in Dallas and the DB's in Ohio
