Not entirely, certain services are free forever and this reduction is one of them.

I agree it has generally been a sham for a long time. If we actually believed strongly in free markets we would have let the various financial institutions die in 2008. I personall…

Ah yup you are definitely correct, that is what I meant.

I get that I can run this as a SPA, but then don't I lose out on the prerendered HTML fetched from the server? That's what I mean by isometric with Node.

I really wish there were frameworks that developed ways to plug in with your already favorite backend kit instead of solely isometric with Node. You couldn't pay me to give up Phoe…

I partially judge the novelty of the problem I'm solving by the level of access to information about it I have. You realize you're on the edge of knowledge when you're deep down in…

I talk about encryption which cuts the confusion nicely even if it isn't a perfect replacement but I find lay people don't care about the general field of cryptography they care ab…

Unfortunately language isn't a static thing and is somewhat defined by the dominant usage of something over time (unless you're in the rare country that has fully prescriptive lang…

Congrats Kevin and Guru on the launch. Happy to see this on here, I was wondering when you’d do your Launch HN. These are real problems that a lot of data teams have and I’m glad t…

I see Deno getting a lot of play here, and I think rightfully so. The recent globally distributed chat example in like 20 lines of code is basically the level of accessibility I li…

I'd say many aggregators do offer value to the rest of humanity but I imagine there are probably some exceptions and also not all scraper services offer no value it's just differen…

Heh at the end I think I may have been called out for my harsh response to the post being referenced at the start here on HN since it seemed to raise some hackles. Borrowing from o…

I asked before making a mistake, I also asked to do some light market validation. Try to keep the ad hominems down. If you can't make an argument against the point and have to atta…

I'd say most crawlers are looking to provide enriched value for content at their end use. Google is just an aggregator (the biggest by far) but other aggregators are looking to pro…

I'm actually cool assuming there is implicit harm and no benefit, but by that logic we need to tear google down too. I'm cool making that trade but it has to be done equally. If yo…

Personally I find it trite but whatever floats your boat.

This one in particular is not worthwhile on the front page of HN, that's my take. They're most definitely useful for beginners, or maybe people just learning about databases. I'm n…

First its not my "compiler errors" scenario it's the person who initially replied to me. Sure whatever, I don't think I ever insinuated I thought that was a good idea, it runs in p…

No I did, but since I disagree with your earlier point about how much existing knowledge they have it kind of by default means I disagree with what they took away from this inciden…

No you've missed my point, the author seemingly didn't know that ForeignKeys applied indexes by default in MySql. It's not "Concept I didn't understand", clearly they're capable of…

Cool, and if this was a case of bike shedding over something that hadn't just cost that early stage startup 5 grand I'd agree with you. However regurgitating a platitude that every…

Which really is a head scratcher. You'd figure especially as a startup seeing a 5k oopsie isn't really as acceptable. Mistakes do happen and I don't mean any shade to this particul…

I feel like indexes are a pretty fundamental type of DB knowledge. In fact I'd say it's table stakes knowledge you should have if you're working with them. Further more, knowing th…

I wound up not taking it because I had something that at the time seemed easier for me, but I negotiated a $100/hr contract on UpWork just fine looking for some part time work to h…

Mmm I’ll go with that, to be honest I saw that LinkedIn had initially made a complaint under DMCA (which HiQ then got an injunction for) as well and given how the case played out I…
