riledhel··on Low Cost Mini PCs
I've recently bought this Intel N100 mini pc https://es.aliexpress.com/item/1005006727722225.html and it's amazing. It even came with win11 preinstalled, an unexpected surprise for me. 16G RAM and 512G SSD for 100 euros, great deal.
riledhel··on Lit: Simple, fast web components
Awesome work, thanks for maintaining it! What's the recommended strategy to do unit testing? I tried a couple of months ago to use jest but it gets messy really quick due to poor support for shadow DOM. Thank you!
riledhel··on Ask HN: Why can't I learn anymore?

It may to you, but for lots of people it's just another job and that is also valid and sometimes healthy too.

MercadoPago is the payment gatewat and it's amazing. They take care of delivery/logistics like Amazon and it's fast and works in remote places too.
riledhel··on Ask HN: What's the worst piece of software you use everyday?

riledhel··on Understanding JavaScript Objects
I highly recommend "Eloquent Javascript" instead because it's easier for beginners or developers coming from another language. It's available online for free too.

Is a TL;DR version for the people on the other side of the paywall?
riledhel··on Cursive Handwriting and Other Education Myths (2016)
Somewhat related but do you guys know good resources to relearn cursive handwriting? I remember having handwriting notebooks as a kid that came with figures and steps to do the letters but I don't know if there's a better way now, years later.
riledhel··on Show HN: A simple SMTP proxy that bridges legacy software to modern SMTP servers
I think you can also use nginx as a SMTP proxy for a less custom made solution
riledhel··on The New Firefox and Ridiculous Numbers of Tabs
I do that myself too, so even for a small numbers of users, it still is a valid use case. Firefox has a bug report here about this with interesting info https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=855930
riledhel··on Why I deleted my Facebook account
All the posts about this subject and not a single one I've read mention using facebook login for websites or mobile apps. There are a lot of these out there that simply don't work otherwise. Take instagram for example, even before facebook's buying it.

I once read that fasting promotes something like "cell reuse" and the body starts breaking down old/damaged cells faster. I'll try to find the source (and this is not my field by any means)
riledhel··on 22 Years of Delphi and It Still Rocks
And compile times were pretty fast too
riledhel··on Why You Shouldn’t Use ReactJS for Complex Projects
I keep talking to people that put too much business logic in their components and then complain about react's unmaintainability as the project begins to have problems. Most of the time is because of poor component design and lack of a clear state/data management
riledhel··on Ask HN: Books you read in 2016?

riledhel··on Freeman Dyson talks about math, nuclear rockets, and the universe
I really liked the following quote, I certainly needed his upbeat mood and view of the future.

" The key to having an interesting life is to always say "yes" to anything crazy. Orion was obviously crazy. So I said "yes" and had a great time."

riledhel··on The AMDGPU Additions for Linux 4.7 Are Enormous
