mariushn··on Google sends anti-regulation propaganda to small businesses using Google Maps
Thanks for clarification.
mariushn··on Google sends anti-regulation propaganda to small businesses using Google Maps
Notes on "Now / After" screen: 1. What they don't mention is that first results are usually ads, usually to competition. If you really want to be the first result then your business name is searched, you must pay for an ad too. Just tested this.

2. Hovering over an ad link on Chrome, it shows in bottom bar the link as going to brand.com . How can this be done, it's just an <a href="..."> ? Inspecting or right-click shows the true link to www.googleadservices.com/pagead/aclk...

mariushn··on Next.js 12
Looks good! Why did you decide to do your own Filesystem Routing instead of introducing a dependency to vite-plugin-pages, especially as you mention upstream contributions?
mariushn··on Ask HN: What is your story of immigrating to another country?
Since there's no other way to message you: I'd like to live in Korea for at least a few months, more if I like it. Ideally, working in a small tech company. Is there a way to see what your company does so I can assess if I could bring in some value? My email is in profile. Thanks!
mariushn··on PayPal raises fees for most domestic transaction types to 3.49% + $0.49
But does it offer an API to do this? No. So it's useless for merchants who'd like to offer it as an alternative payment method.

I believe this would work, but I'm not an influencer: https://medium.com/@mariusandreiana/open-letter-to-banks-ple...

mariushn··on How We Went All In on sqlc/pgx for Postgres and Go
Thanks so much Marcus, it makes more sense now!
mariushn··on Show HN: Medusa – Open-source alternative to Shopify
Thanks for building it as open source! Few q's:

1. It doesn't seem to be multi-tenant (that is, hosting multiple shops/companies with one db). Are there plans to add multi-tenancy?

2. What are the major differences vs https://github.com/vendure-ecommerce/vendure ? (another nodejs solution, with included Admin panel and storefront)

3. How do you plan to monetize?

mariushn··on How We Went All In on sqlc/pgx for Postgres and Go
Could you please give 2 specific examples on how this would work? Are the functions only for UPDATE/INSERT, or also for reading data? I'm using views to simplify queries, but still via ORM.
mariushn··on My £4 a month server can handle 4.2M requests a day
Thank you!

> The trick I have found is to establish a websocket with your clients, and then pipe all of their events down with DOM updates coming up the other way. These 2 streams are entirely decoupled by way of the ringbuffer and a novel update/event strategy.

Could you detail this, please? I don't get it. What is the flow?

1. Browser is sending events to web server via web socket, instantly as the event is occurring (?)

2. ? (what exactly does the server do?)

mariushn··on QuickBooks Desktop moves to subscription model
> can't really dump it

Why? Because your accountant requires it? Are there other reasons?

Could you change your accountant?

mariushn··on Launch HN: Hotswap (YC S21) – Easily migrate customers away from competitors
> We take the burden away by working with vendors directly to automate common migration flows.

To clarify, this refers only to vendors of the new app choice, right? That is, only getting data in, not out. Assuming old app vendors won't help migrate users away from their app.

Thanks for posting! Is metriql entirely open source, or just the CLI? How do you plan to make revenue?

mariushn··on Google is shutting down its Android Auto mobile app in favor of Google Assistant
I'd love to be able to do that. And be able to start Maps and search, instead of saying Maps can't run while Android Auto runs.
mariushn··on The rise of the one-person unicorn
I see. Thought that node/fastify and vue/bootstrap were ecosystem enough for some developers, but I understand your point. Thanks!
mariushn··on The rise of the one-person unicorn
+1

I've also made a similar SaaS boilerplate for Node & Vue: https://nodex.wensia.com/

Would you please share your thoughts on it at a quick glance? (in progress: switching to Stripe from Braintree)

Mechanical ventilation (with or without heat/enthalpy recovery) with filters -- what should one look for when evaluating what to purchase? Do you recommend specific brands?

mariushn··on Neal Stephenson – Announcing Termination Shock
Got it. I've read 'space opera' instead of 'space odyssey' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Odyssey

Which ones? :)

mariushn··on French set to replace English as EU’s ‘working language’
Wouldn't you listen to more content (news, movies...) from European countries, if it was in a language you understand, that being English? I'm in EU and would love for English to be the de facto language.
mariushn··on Ask HN: How can I improve my intelligence?
> Processing either your own experience, or that which others share, can give you seriously potent mental tools, rules of thumb, contexts to reason with.

Could you please expand on this?

mariushn··on Node.js 16 Available Now
Can I have an entire stand-alone app (not a module to be published on npm) as a module in package.json? I understand it can no longer use require() anywhere, that's ok.
mariushn··on Why has no one made a better Goodreads
Good approach! I also tried at some point a project to enable authors to self-publish, but couldn't solve their problem of getting readers. Wishing you success!
