This comment is nonsensical
herohamp··on Covering the US by guessing the names of cities
A simple, no frills, web game where you try to cover the US by guessing the names of cities.
herohamp··on Resources for Amateur Compiler Writers
Portability. Say I wanted to make language X run on all platforms, but I didn't actually care about compiling it on all platforms. I can just write a relatively simple VM for each platform. This is one of the reasons Java was and still kinda is so ubiquitous
herohamp··on Show HN: Using SIMD to decode and encode gigabytes of varints per second in Rust
Can somebody explain what this is actually doing? I am quite confused

I cannot believe I did not notice that. I will rerun all of my testing with a valid UTF-8 byte sequence :)
herohamp··on Show HN: Breaking a meaningless world record: computing Γ(1/4) to 500b digits
after 5 weeks of seeing cryptic screenshots on discord of ycruncher it's finally done!
herohamp··on Shrinking my static site
I do npm in two different images so that the node_modules can be cached between builds. this massively speeds up my build. The npmpackages layer only installs the npm modules
herohamp··on Shrinking my static site
yes it is sub-optimal, but that is not because building it takes so much time, it is because of the node_modules. I am looking into migrating to Hugo as has been suggested by MANY people
herohamp··on Shrinking my static site
yeah, that is a mistake. I just did not fully rethink my code when I moved the build layers. I will be removing that tonight along with a few changed suggested here
herohamp··on Shrinking my static site
all of my docker containers are placed behind traefik which handles TLS certifactes, HTTPS redirect, compression, and routing to the correct container
herohamp··on Shrinking my static site
that is true, ill switch to that when i get around to it
herohamp··on Google Sheets was down
I'm not aware of there being any SLAs for these services?
herohamp··on Thank HN: My SaaS paid my rent this month
As a native english speaker from Maryland while it doesnt have any negative connotations, I do feel a word like hobbyist would be better
herohamp··on The Holon Project: Turning 52 books into computer code
I honestly have no idea what this means
herohamp··on Chrome OS has stalled out
This seems pretty crazy, can I get a source on this?

herohamp··on Writing JavaScript with Only Six Characters
Yeah the ability to get any character would really show more of how this works
herohamp··on Asciinema – Record and share terminal sessions
I've just been mentally saying "ASCII Cinema" I know it is objectively wrong but it's what the name is saying
herohamp··on My .in domain has been transferred to another registrant without notification
I always take those speeds with a grain of salt as it is likely that they dont actually provide those speeds. What is someone gonna do if the speeds are wrong? Sue them in court for not commited the crime they are paying to commit enough?
herohamp··on History of Fidonet (1993)
For the people like myself who do not know what Fidonet is, and just want to read the comments.

FidoNet is a worldwide computer network that is used for communication between bulletin board systems (BBSes). It uses a store-and-forward system to exchange private (email) and public (forum) messages between the BBSes in the network, as well as other files and protocols in some cases.

herohamp··on Dropbox Has Jumped the Memory Shark
Next cloud has always been slow for me
herohamp··on Google plans to give slow websites a new badge of shame in Chrome
From my understanding when networks are mentioned there are two types. The internal networks of the website (talking between containers, databases and what not) and the users mobile, fiber, or hopefully nor DSL network. It's the internal network that they want to punish.
herohamp··on Ask HN: How do you occupy yourself on your daily commute?
I go through audiobooks and podcasts. Sadly it's mainly audiobooks as my favorite podcasts publish only on average once a month
herohamp··on Biometric YubiKey
Why was this response warranted? He simply made a claim that when researched you find many people run into the same thing.

Take a look at popOS
herohamp··on Ask HN: How hard is it to build a platform like Netlify?
Recently I've discovered commonshost and it seems like a great way to host a content. It's a free global CDN with < 30ms for most of the regions I've tested. If you want to startup a node in your region it only costs around 200$ for the equipment to run a node

herohamp··on Show HN: Blackjack Break, a minimal quick-play blackjack game
Nice game. I really enjoy how simple it is. Is there a reason it's not a PWA? I would love to be able to install it with offline play
