nabi_nafio··on Ask HN: Why is Next.js so popular?
That was very thoughtfully written. Thanks for explaining the history and the tradeoff in such details. I really appreciate it.
nabi_nafio··on Ask HN: Why is Next.js so popular?
I am curious, what are the drawbacks? I was planning to learn Next.js but probably won't if the tradeoffs are bad.
nabi_nafio··on Ask HN: Why is Next.js so popular?
I heard that too. But if you go their homepage and check the source in dev tools, there are links that point to static assets being served by Next.js.
nabi_nafio··on Ask HN: What are your favourite technical newsletters?
Thanks for sharing :)
nabi_nafio··on Ask HN: What are your favourite technical newsletters?
Thanks for sharing. TLDR looks really cool. It seems like they have a lot of different types of newsletters. For example, DevOps, IT, Product Management, AI, and more.
nabi_nafio··on Google: A Behind the Scenes Look
I found this fascinating. Google, now with a market cap of about $2 trillion, had to "borrow" machines from other researchers to deploy and run code. Talk about resourcefulness!
nabi_nafio··on Ask HN: How do you do on-device testing?
I meant through cloud vendors. I heard about AWS Device Farm. But I haven't used it. Do you have any idea about if it's good?
nabi_nafio··on Ask HN: How do you organize your Twitter/X bookmarks?
That's an interesting approach. I am curious, why is editing and adding notes to the Tweets important for you?
nabi_nafio··on Ask HN: Does Hacker News have notifications?
Thanks
nabi_nafio··on Ask HN: Do You Buy Paid Newsletters?
Buy as in be a customer. For example, you subscribe to a paid Substack like ByteByteGo Newsletter.
nabi_nafio··on Ask HN: Do You Buy Paid Newsletters?
Which ones did you buy?
nabi_nafio··on Ask HN: Do You Want a Twitter Bookmark Organizer?
Thanks
nabi_nafio··on Ask HN: Do You Want a Twitter Bookmark Organizer?
What I meant was Twitter has a bookmarking feature but it has no way to manage them. For example, no way to search, tag, and categorize bookmarks.
nabi_nafio··on Ask HN: Do You Want a Twitter Bookmark Organizer?
Hi, thanks for the detailed response. These are some very interesting insights. I would love to know more:

Q) How do you currently manage your bookmarks?

Q) Why do you want these features?

These two lines got me laughing: "...C#, C-sharper?...", "...vanilla JavaScript, chocolate JavaScript..."

"...when we've found product/market fit and start to scale the company, we will invest in more testing. We promise.." :P
nabi_nafio··on Rails
This was hilariously misleading.
nabi_nafio··on Ask HN: Is StackOverflow Dying?
StackOverflow has been immensely helpful for me. When stuck on a programming problem, I usually look for solutions on StackOverflow or read the framework/programming language's docs.

It's highly unlikely that StackOverflow will slowly die. It's a very MOATY service: strong band, and network effects.

nabi_nafio··on Bill Gates Explains the Internet to Dave (1995) – Letterman
The meta-fact I learned from this interview is don't mock and make fun of things that you don't fully understand.
nabi_nafio··on Ask HN: Why Is Credit Card Used as an Anti-Fraud Tool?
This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for sharing :)
nabi_nafio··on Ask HN: What's Your Experience of Fly.io?
Nice! All the best for the future of onlineornot.
nabi_nafio··on Ask HN: What's Your Experience of Fly.io?
Have you completely migrated off of AWS and running only on fly.io?

Btw congrats on the launch of onlineornot.

nabi_nafio··on Ask HN: What's Your Experience of Fly.io?
Thanks for providing your experience in such detail. I have one question regarding their signup flow: did you use a credit card or bought credits?
nabi_nafio··on Ask HN: What's Your Experience of Fly.io?
They don't have a managed DB like a hosted Postgres?
nabi_nafio··on Ask HN: What's Your Experience of Fly.io?
Thanks for sharing your experience. Sounds like fly.io is good. One question: did you use your credit card to sign up or bought credits?
nabi_nafio··on Ask HN: What Are Some Good Books on the First Industrial Revolution?
Thanks!
nabi_nafio··on Ask HN: What Are Some Good Books on the First Industrial Revolution?
Thanks for the recommendations.
nabi_nafio··on How the World Cup’s AI instant replay works
Yes, you are correct. The explanation does't dive deep into the AI part of the system. It talks about the sensors in the football and the video cameras tracking everything happening on the pitch.
nabi_nafio··on Ask HN: Do you recall any book or course that made a topic finally click?
For me it was CS50 Web Programming with Python and JavaScript taught by Brian Yu.

By background is non-technical and tried to learn web programming by reading books and watching YouTube videos. However, I failed multiple times because these sources lacked in depth or breadth or explained poorly.

In early 2022 I enrolled in CS50W through Edx. The course contained the right mix of depth and breadth, and the topics were very well explained: Brian is an amazing teacher. The course also included interesting projects that I had to implement. For example, building a Wiki, a small scoped Twitter clone, and finally a project of my own. I had so much fun learning! Since taking the course I built two web apps from spec to launch on my own.
