waspight··on Ask HN: Are you leaving Heroku?
How is it compared to Digitalocean app platform?
waspight··on We switched to cursor-based pagination
I bet your users does not always know what is best for them.
waspight··on Ask HN: What problem did Slack solve?
It is frustrating that notifications on threads opens the common threads view instead of the main thread view. I would rather have it like HN or Reddit where threads are in the same flow, but with a possibility to expand.
waspight··on Ask HN: What problem did Slack solve?
Last time I user Discord it looked exactly like slack but perhaps more targeted towards gamers. Why are they so similar? Which came first?
waspight··on Tell HN: After 10 years of experiments, custom username emails receive no spam
Isn't using company@mydomain.com a clear indicator that there is a catch all adress on @mydomain.com? Which makes it even harder to avoid spam once it is obvious that you can send to whichever email you want on that domain?
waspight··on Swedish tech startups and scaleups
I have heard that Stockholm is the Silicon Valley of Europe as well so Sweden is going strong I guess.
waspight··on Stringbike: Benefits (2020)
But who is this for? I have never had much trouble with a regular chain. Are they even solving a real problem?
waspight··on There aren't that many uses for blockchains
What if bitcoins got disallowed as a currency in most places where you can use it to buy things. Would ransomware go away in that case? I imagine that if the possibility to have anonymous payments disappear, it would be much harder to target regular people with ransomware as well.
waspight··on 'Too many employees, but few work': Pichai, Zuckerberg sound the alarm
Why is Netflix part of FAANG? Isn’t all the other ones much larger corporations?
waspight··on I Stopped Reading Hacker News Comments
There is articles on HN? I am only here for the comments.
waspight··on Ask HN: Why did smartphones become a single point of failure?
How do I backup all my 2fa that I have on my phone? I would like to have a backup at home in case of the phone being stolen.
waspight··on Ask HN: How to make a native GUI with a modern language?
I think electron is great. It is easy to get auto updates to work and it is a fast way to get an initial release out.
waspight··on Plant-based ‘beef’ reduces CO2 but threatens ag jobs
Is this really a surprise to anyone? Ofc ag will suffer but isn’t that the point?
waspight··on Fake IMDB credits
I have always wondered about the ratings. It seems to me that all movies below 6 is trash. Has this always been this way? One would imagine that a 5 star rating would be ok since it is right between 0 (bad) and 10 (great). I guess some kind of inflation in the ratings is going on, but how is such things prevented in these kinds of ratings over time? Is it even possible to prevent?
waspight··on Uber's Still Not Profitable
What is the reason behind that?
waspight··on What We Gain from a Good Bookstore
Just curious, why is second hand book stores that important? I imagine that everything worth reading is available on Amazon and rated in Goodreads. I am just curious and hopefully I am totally wrong as well.
waspight··on Thinking with pen and paper
Anyone using any e-ink tablet tool for taking notes instead of pen and paper? Is there any good solutions there yet?
waspight··on Ask HN: How do you deal with neck and back pain?
I have seen a physical therapist as well, but with a very generic answer as a result. Hence I am asking here for more ideas on how to do that “just do som regular workout” as I am supposed to.
waspight··on Ask HN: Is my software stack choice sound?
Just pick the stack you are already most comfortable with. That is the only thing that matters.
waspight··on I still love PHP and JavaScript
I think that php has some weird disk usage behaviour that makes running Wordpress in a docker environment slow. I don’t know exactly what it is but I would say it is a weird behaviour of php anyway.
waspight··on Dear startups: I hate subscription services (2021)
No one should be able to stay on an outdated version, both for security and compatibility reasons. Supporting old versions of you have an api attached is a cost in it self as well.
waspight··on Soft deletion probably isn't worth it
I use soft deletes to maintain insights. For instance I would like to know how many users that has been created in total even if some has been deleted later on. Is this a bad approach? Most of the other comments here seems to use it only to be able to restore deleted entries.
waspight··on Soft deletion probably isn't worth it
It seems that it is too easy to delete things in your system. Rather than solving it with reversible soft deletes I would suggest to improve the UX. I don’t agree that it simplifies foreign key management, it is most often the opposite from my point of view.
waspight··on Inkscape 1.2.1 Released
I see. There are plenty of UI design tools like sketch, figma, adobe xd but Illustrator has the illustrative part as well. I don’t think any of the UI tools are a great replacement for that.
waspight··on Netflix is in rough shape. This week will determine its future
Why did they never used IMDb rating?
waspight··on Inkscape 1.2.1 Released
Abandonware, replaced by what exactly?
waspight··on Ask HN: Is it a strength that HN's UI has not changed over many years?
I had a look at the api calls and those seems fast so you are probably right.
waspight··on Ask HN: Is it a strength that HN's UI has not changed over many years?
yes, I agree. It is painfully slow in fact. I tend to navigate a lot as well on such sites.
waspight··on Ask HN: Is it a strength that HN's UI has not changed over many years?
I am a big fan of the "UX" at HN. I recently discovered indiehackers.com and while I like the content a lot I am having a hard time hanging out there. The site is too dark and there is too much noise, on HN there is just one feed which is nice.

How in the world could a cookie banner be a wanted feature?
