That is a massive website, and still loads quicker/smaller than an entry level React site.

The parent comment wasn't regarding traffic loads; it was regarding latency.

On the contrary, Big tech famously has plenty of data centers on the west coast: • Quincy, WA (Microsoft) • The Dalles, Oregon (Google) • Prineville, Oregon (Facebook, Apple) • Hil…

I think your logic makes sense, if this was both logical and about the money. But it seems to be more about greed, discontentment, and "more". There is no limit to "more".

Am I missing something? The URL doesn't load...

Is this just a guise to get people to hand over their contact information? So it can be linked and associated with a GitHub profile? It's presented as an official Microsoft product…

Actually, literally, yes. A letter I've needed to write for a long time, but have been putting off.

I was just laying in bed getting some work done and my house started shaking. Camano Island, north of Seattle. Anyone else?

My grandpa, Dick Weisser, spent summer/fall with Dick Proenneke at Twin Lakes for many years. The other cabin, which the State Park operates, was built by my uncle and grandpa. I'v…

This is amazing to see TA on HN. I grew up playing Total Annihilation in the 90s because my cousin worked for Cavedog and got us a CD for free. It is still one of my favorite games…

Save yourself time and don't bother reading this. Lots of words without saying anything.

I understand that there are UI/UX issues, and I mostly agree with all of your points. There are markdown issues, I get the redirects too, the copy/paste color scheme affects me whe…

I wish there was enough space here to write out all the things wrong with Sendgrid. The usual stuff with dominant players in any market. Stripe. Google. Microsoft. Too big to care.…

I use Github extensively for my personal company, but I also use Azure DevOps (and all git-related features) extensively for a client's project. I keep seeing the Github issues bei…

I've been using Postmark for many years, and have zero complaints. Sendgrid, on the other hand, I would avoid like the plague.

Maybe instead of giving more detail about why Github is down (again), it would be better to invest in not going down in the first place?

Pass. The AI is far too strong. Couldn't keep reading.

Same here! Good luck

I do this now! It is wonderful. So many unique projects being worked on that you'd never come across in your daily life. It's always fun to experience a world that is so far remove…

Refreshing. As good as it needs to be

It's telling that this is still empty after an hour. And I can't think of anything to add either.

Amen!

Explored Osaka today. Had wagyu, sushi, and ramen. Not a bad day.
