tl;dr British billionaire Jim Mellon wants to launch a company named Juvenescence with plans to make a big splash in anti-aging research.

Ok, it's hard to imagine that such people exist but I believe what you say. You are right, they should rather use Medium.

> i work in a building full of embedded developers who wouldn't know a css selector if it bit them on the ass. Maybe, maybe not. Even embedded coders face HTML/CSS at some point wh…

Why should I discover content on Medium? This job is done by HN and Reddit and unfortunately Facebook if I am on FB. I don't have time to get sucked in another feed.

Agree that for a western English audience NY is the best location reaching both the US and EU with a ok latency.

> Simple VPS, webserver, letsencrypt, static site generator, cloud flare for CDN duties and a little CSS. Why didn't you host on Github Pages and you could have saved all that but …

Wordpress is for sure powerful, has a huge ecosystem and is for teams a safe bet because of very good and battle-tested workflows. But sorry, I don't want to setup a stack I did 20…

I disagree. It doesn't matter what kind of coder you are, at some point you always deal with a shell. And setting up a blog on bare metal is done in few minutes on a shell. If you …

Totally agree. Code embedding is also limited on Medium, I think they still lack syntax highlighting. Btw, great tip wih Netlify. How is your experience with them, what are pros co…

To the point criticism of Medium, very detailed and the OP is picking the right issues of Medium. While Medium looks so beautiful and clean at first glance it really disappoints wh…

They have. But still, every founder wants to avoid such situations. The founding team's reputation went from sky to hell within few weeks. Not nice and nobody wants to loose their …

> It's the ground-zero meat space for their content corpus What do mean with this sentence and content corpus?? That burning man matches their DNA?

Best comment in the thread. It shows that one of SoundCloud's key problem is an oligopolostic industry they are dealing with.

> I really hate the constant comparisons of AIs to babies Constant comparison? First time I see this comparison to a child. And btw, it's about that we always equal AI with machine…

Discord has a super fast and slick on-boarding. It's actually just one click and way better than Slack's on-boarding. Other than that it's quite similar.

Again the same old accusations without a single source ('local presentation', of course!).

Can I use Postgres fully schemeless without even defining any collection (table) or db before doing the first write (which is possible with Mongo).

> Send queries to any server in the cluster and they get routed automatically. Nice! Also the writes? Mongo wants the writes to the primary only.

Nice idea, confusing title (burner phone??).

> but Mongo looks terrible if you ask about losing data or leaking memory Sorry, but this is just not true for many years now. Mongo has its warts but reading old stuff again and a…
