isuckatcoding··on Roblox has been down for days and it’s not because of Chipotle
Yeah but wouldn’t the impact be more widespread then?
isuckatcoding··on “Dune” (The Movie), Annotated
“Jihad” doesn’t necessarily mean “holy war”. The better translation is “struggle” (which can be external like a physical fight OR internal against oneself and their desires)
isuckatcoding··on New PostgreSQL Interface for Cloud Spanner
You know it’s funny because I’m looking into using the JSON type for spanner. Is that comparable to JSONB
isuckatcoding··on Reactive Clojure: A web language
Yeah I had a really hard time understanding even with the backend frontend highlighting
isuckatcoding··on Theatre.js: Animation motion design editor / library for high-fidelity graphics
Looks very cool and interesting

One minor nitpick: could you disable the auto play video on the “Get Started” page?

isuckatcoding··on Show HN: A microservice framework, listed in CNCF Landscape, 1 year 10k+ stars
Little bit confused by the chart in the benchmark section: https://github.com/zeromicro/go-zero#7-benchmark

What is it trying to show?

isuckatcoding··on MicroAcquire: Sell Your Startup
Feel like your website might need more details…seems very minimal.
isuckatcoding··on Widelands is a free, open-source real-time strategy game
CDN cartel? Why such a negative take on CDN? Genuinely curious (I know little about CDNs)
isuckatcoding··on Square Banking
RIP Chime.
isuckatcoding··on A new brain implant automatically detects and kills pain in real time
Have you watched the Manchurian Candidate?
isuckatcoding··on Designing a Dataflow Editor with TypeScript and React
Hmm Right that makes sense but you have to give some width/height to the container right?

I guess you can set it something absurdly large.

isuckatcoding··on Designing a Dataflow Editor with TypeScript and React
The one thing that I always wonder about things like this which is basically Figma or Miro is how you persist / store the coordinate of the nodes given the user might have different screen sizes or resize their window etc.
isuckatcoding··on Hire-to-fire at Amazon India?
Side note: I’d love to use a forum like this but filter out all the Indian specific things. Is that possible?
isuckatcoding··on Internal competition can often be the most dangerous kind
> There were no layoffs, no reassignments to different groups, they just let everything float for pretty much the summer. It must have cost a fortune, and I highly doubt anything would go down like this ever again in today’s tech business world.

Oh lol I’m kind of experiencing this right now. I think it’s more common than you might think.

isuckatcoding··on useStateMachine: A ½ kb state machine hook for React
So I think this is basically an abstraction on top of useReducer which itself is kind of a state machine pattern.

It’s a little verbose more my liking but I think it could be powerful for large apps with lots of states.

isuckatcoding··on Building a Distributed Turn-Based Game System in Elixir
I understood all the components but given I don’t do a lot of complex distributed programming , I kind of got lost about what Horde and libcluster do. My world view is very simple: backend app server and front end code.

Can anyone ELI5?

isuckatcoding··on You might as well timestamp it
I don’t see the benefit. This is what changelogs are for.
isuckatcoding··on You might as well timestamp it
Seems like a whole lot of extra trouble to be honest. What happens when you need to create a composite index?
isuckatcoding··on Show HN: Free Remote jobs search platform with verified handpicked jobs
Verified handpicked 19k jobs? Really?

I’m a little bit skeptical...

isuckatcoding··on Woman created deepfake videos to force rivals off daughter’s cheerleading squad
Maybe forensics/criminology is already there but I wonder if detailed study of fake videos will become a very in/demand skill / specialization.
isuckatcoding··on Launch HN: Enombic (YC S20) – Create your own stock indexes
Here’s where I think you’d get real buy in. Build an integration with something like Robinhood that automatically uses the selected portfolio and allow the user to configure a max amount so they can get a feel for it without completely revamping their entire portfolio.
isuckatcoding··on Red Hat announces no-cost RHEL for small production environments
What is RHEL?
isuckatcoding··on Bitcoin breaks above $20k
Lol well that makes more sense
isuckatcoding··on Bitcoin breaks above $20k
But why...?

> When this [rally to near $20,000] happened in 2017, there was a real lack of products for the new converts to experience, whereas today there are endless uses, protocols, services across farming, lending, standard trading, etc

Is this really true though? My first instinct isn’t at all to go to blockchain/cryptocurrency for farming.

isuckatcoding··on Show HN: Polotno Studio – Canva-like design editor, without signups or ads
Actually works decently on mobile (iOS chrome)
isuckatcoding··on Show HN: Instantly search 2M recipes
I don’t count that as bug but I see what you mean۔ The search engine only has so much context about the content.
isuckatcoding··on AirPods Max
If this beats the MICROPHONE noise cancellation of the Bose QC3,then I’m in. My Bose are great at cancelling noise for my ears but super crappy for the other person when I’m on any kind of call (you can hear every little sounds from outside).
isuckatcoding··on Zenoh – Zero Overhead Pub/Sub, Store/Query and Compute
The example makes it seem like another key value store. Any example for the Pubsub / compute piece would be good to see.
isuckatcoding··on Apache OpenMeetings – Video chat, messaging, white board, doc editing and more
Having used both Zoom and Teams, I’m actually impressed at the feature set and granularity of control. Ok sure the UI isn’t great but come on it’s free.
isuckatcoding··on Show HN: WhatFeatures – Get rewarded for providing feedback on new features
Great concept. So for this to be successful it seems you need the feature maker (I.e the company/startup) and the feature reviewer to buy in. I think the incentive is there for both parties but balancing between the 2 will be the challenge (too many reviewers and too few features or vice versa).

Good luck!
