deejayyon More common mistakes to avoid when creating system architecture diagrams

I really miss a mistake which I see a lot: a simple frontend (the architecture component) talking to backend (also an architecture component). I had to put extra effort all the time to explain the "no, people, a static web server is not sending anything to anywhere, it just serves static files".

The problem is not the risk itself but the inability to resolve the issue. This way, it's not just an "inconvenience" but sometimes a lifes work lost.

deejayyon Show HN: Fast and Scalable Next.js SaaS Starter Kit, Save Weeks of Coding

Hey Renas! This piece looks pretty detailed, although the marketing shades a darker light to everything.

The payment notifications from the past (3 months old pops up as well) is just an annoying dark pattern. You spent 3 months at spotify as an intern in 2023 (according to linkedin), using that this emphasized is at least deceiving. At this point, I started to doubt in Alexander Bylund's existence (the one you display as a testimonial), one AI detection tool gave me back 92% likelyhood that it is a generated profile picture. Of course that could be a false positive, and not everyone should have a linkedin account as well, nor has he.

deejayyon Show HN: Original 8x16 ASCII Fixed Width Font: Classic Console Neue

There were multiple sources I used, first started with dosbox, checked all codepages' ascii chart, made a screenshot, went thru all characters. Then I found int10h, crosschecked a few to not miss anything. Some glyphs are result of just the combination of letters and mods (accented characters mostly).

Then I found a pixel font which has about 40k glyphs as I remember, so I checked which can be derived from it in the style of the original VGA font.
