envolt··on Ask HN: When does it make sense to roll your own X?
As long as I want to avoid very edgy race condition cases (low throughput), any DB will work right?

Either Mongo, MySQL or List in Redis.

Is there anything sepcific about Postgres when it comes to this? (except SKIP TABLES, as mentioned in other comments)

Can you shed a bit more light on this -

envolt··on Ask HN: What do you do with paywalled HN articles?
If the site offers 2-3 free articles to read, then I'm good. Otherwise I just back out.

If my 2-3 article trial is over, I just open on Private mode or Temporary Tab extension on Firefox.

envolt··on Microsoft's Linux Kernel
The only reason I'm sticking to my Macbook is the Linux based kernal, which makes it easier for me to use the command line, install NodeJS, build an application, install Redis Server on my local.

Though everything can be done in Windows, it's not easy to do so.

I specifically remember trying to install Redis on Windows and had to give up after the end of the day. Ended up creating a server and installing Redis on that on AWS.

Also, people are complaining that Microsoft once said "Linux is Cancer" at some point. A lot has changed since then. Ubuntu was released after that which IMO helped to adopt Linux by an end user.

envolt··on Cloudflare's Ethereum Gateway
Providing a gateway is not making Ethereum centralized. It's just an interface to read (or interact) with a running geth node. It's not mining/validating or contributing to the network.
envolt··on Cloudflare's Ethereum Gateway
Can it be used as a full-fledged Infura replacement?
envolt··on Ask HN: Best free compute and other resources for startups?
I don't think Best (or Good) will be Free, after a certain tier (e.g AWS only gives a t2.micro for a month (750 hours to be specific))

Most of the cloud providers have some kind of startup program, where they offer free credits to startup.

We (my company) got credit benefit from IBM, it's been a real savior for us. You can check it out here https://developer.ibm.com/startups/
