Security through obscurity is fine if it's an additional layer in a well thought out security implementation. I've build a bespoke Node.js site/service where I sometimes have to ki…

Pulumi could have filled this nicely but only supports a few cloud providers.

Canceled my PayPal account none the less.

These bridges seem to be the weakest links in crypto.

Not a Google fan but I don't want any other means than my 2fa to unlock my account.

I disagree. My entire backend is written in Typescript and maintenance and feature development pace is incredible. It's been this way for years now and I cannot see myself switchin…

Opening an N26, Revolut or Bunq account (in Europe) can be done from the couch. Maybe this is much different in the US.

I use GraphQL (postgraphile) for my admin backend crud. This allowed me to do some incredible fast development with only minimal customisation (couple of PostgreSQL functions). Any…

Swpapped my G suite custom domain accounts for mailcow and never looked back. Luckily I never used these accounts for paid apps or other Google specific services.

It would be insane to not question the narrative given the incentives.

I have a much different experience. I use Mollie, probably very similar to Stripe or any other modern payment service provider. I have the occasional failed SEPA transaction due to…

I think it's the reverse. Not sanctioning Russia, letting them march forward will put Europe in grave danger.

They are not keen on becoming a hardware only vendor and I expect pushback when alternative OS's gain traction on Apple Silicon.

I think there are plenty, but this is just not a productive environment to discuss anything crypto related.

Sorry, you are correct, the fee is a percentage of the notional value.

Wow, that really brought home how fortunate I and probably many others on HN are.

The fee is a percentage of the contract size, so higher leverage allows for bigger orders is higher fees.

I find it deeply concerning we are still very much in bed with Putin. We should have taken drastic steps early and maybe be half way in tapping alternative sources. The fact German…

Indeed. I find it weird they did not foresee a crash, given the volatility nature of crypto.

CockroachDB and others come with huge downsides in performance and features. I keep trying to see of these databases are a good fit for me but just the sheer time it takes to impor…

Have considered and have been told many times this is costing me revenue (which I think might be true). But I've never had a customer ask for it. Which is an important signal for m…

I like this a lot even though my primary reason is unexpected subscription renewal. I started a membership site and tried to use every single thing I would want as a customer. One …

As a solo dev/founder I had little choice but be a full stack engineer. As long as you don't go overboard with the complexity and enjoy learning, it is very feasible to master the …

I think every cycle has dramatic stories. To me this is just another downturn where I buy with confidence and wait till the tides shift. I maybe wrong and that's fine. But history …
