uthinter··on Listen to Steve Huffman tell the story of how Reddit got started
Are servers hosted on fediverse open to being indexed by search engines otherwise I doubt it can replace reddit. Reddit did discussion threads , subs, and searchable results from search engines really well. It was a really great version of "forums" . I am not sure fediverse or Discord can do such things.

>Or maybe just another assblasted indian barely suppressing their hatred by eternally seething about muslims.

I am not an Indian but merely an expat. But this comment is rather interesting

>Islam gave rights to woman at a time when they were treated as property everywhere else in the world.

false on all accounts.

uthinter··on Tell HN: Eid Mubarak
I never claimed in any of my replies that I refrain from participating in topics even if they disgust me. That interpretetion was all yours.

This greeting shouldnt be on HN in the first place.
uthinter··on AI-enhanced development makes me more ambitious with my projects
Thanks for the link. This is really awesome!
uthinter··on Kottke.org is 25 years old today
I was very sad too when it finished. But I think it had one of the best runs and ending possible. I wouldnt have wanted it any other way.

One thing I loved about that era of computing is that it was possible to know the whole computer from the bottom up. I dont think it will now ever be possible.

Also a very nice shout out to my favourite show in the article : Halt and Catch Fire.
uthinter··on Oxide builds servers as they should be [audio]
Thanks. I'll check it out. On the last podcast they had Ken Shirriff and it was what got me hooked.
uthinter··on No antibiotics worked, so this woman turned to phage scientists
Georgia, the country. It has some of the best research and treatment facilities when it comes to phage therapy.

If anyone from Oxide is here, could you guys restart the "On the metal" podcast . It was the only CS related podcast I ever liked.
uthinter··on India’s biggest businesses are tapping green hydrogen as a future fuel
It is just one of the legs of diversification. India is also investing heavily into Na-ion batteries. It already has swathes of solar farms and twenty two working nuclear reactors and 13 more in the pipeline .
uthinter··on Schools should be using open source software
This is a very poor analogy. The benefit Linux is offering is marginal and even in terms of cost which can be recuperated or rather offset by hiring more professionals .
uthinter··on Ask HN: Free and open source distributed database written in C++ or C
Thanks. I was looking for something written in Java. I'll check it out.
uthinter··on Ask HN: How to raise funds for rare disease research?
There was a post some years back on HN. The child had a rare disease and the parents were engineers. Eventually they took up studying medicine and pharmaceutical and started working on the cure them selves. If anyone could link that post I think it will be very helpful. I havent been able to locate that post till now. Maybe those parents can help you out in some way.
