Hacker News Reader

Thank you! We fixed it.

hey Andy from Deno here. thanks for your comment. we reduced our Deno Deploy regions not because Deno is in decline. (in fact we have seen about 2x adoption since release of Deno 2.) it's just that we noticed more users using Deno Deploy for hosting applications vs. edge functions, which was our original vision for Deploy. in many scenarios, application performance is improved with fewer, more highly trafficked regions vs. many spread out but more idle regions. we will be covering that in more detail in a dedicated blog post next week.

lambtronon Manage Your Deno Deploy and Deno Subhosting Projects with Terraform

hey hn, andy from deno here. from working with larger companies interested in using our v8 isolate cloud infrastructure, its no surprise that terraform is a preferred approach for reliably provisioning and managing many projects on Deno Deploy/Subhosting at scale.

we know our documentation is a bit sparse (we're working on it!), but we've included a walkthrough on how to deploy local code/assets to Deno Deploy via Terraform. we'd love to get any feedback. is this something you'd use?

Are there any other cloud services you use with Deno Deploy that you would like to have within the Deno Deploy platform?

lambtronon Deno KV

You can use Deno KV locally - the underlying tech is SQLite. It's as simple as writing code and you don't need to spin up any databases or setup any connections.

lambtronon Working Calculator in Super Mario Maker [video]

A link to another video of the same level. This one, however, adds 6 + 6 to get 12, which (in the final scene), shows how the digital numbers are created (timing flying bomb-ombs exploding near ice blocks).

OP's video shows 4 + 4 = 8, in which none of the ice blocks need to be removed, so kind of magical when you're seeing it the first time and wondering how those blocks got there.

lambtronon Ask HN: What are your unused domain names?

http://www.happyfatboydog.com/

just thought it was a funny combination of words. no intended idea here except maybe a trolly site for my close friends.

lambtronon Those making $1,000+/month on side projects – what did you make?

Cool service, been looking for something like this!! Mind sharing more details, i.e. time to launch, rev numbers, cost, etc?

Has heroku providing free shared SSL impacted your numbers at all?

lambtronon Show HN: Pick a movie you like and discover others semantically

This is cool. Movie recommendations are not easy, since there are just too many dimensions with which to compare movies. Sometimes there is just no better movie recommendation than just having a friend who knows your tastes.

Here is another site that has proven some worthy suggestions for me in the past. http://www.nanocrowd.com/
