I got a kick out of this list. Especially this sublist: > (note: You must pay if you use .casa, .cf, .click, .email, .fit, .ga, .gdn, .gq, .loan, .london, .men, .ml, .pl, .rest, .ru, .tk, .top, .work TLDs due to spam) Makes me want to search my spam folder for .gq out of curiosity alone.
Does anyone know of a decent tutorial for building low-volume / prototype interactive web applications using one of the major cloud-hosting providers, wholly within the free limits? Any framework would be interesting for learning purposes. I have some older MVC .NET sites and I poked around with Azure free Windows Server VMs, but the performance is so painfully bad; if you do anything, you run out of memory. But I'm…
It would be neat if HN could offer something like "Login By Facebook" that returned user/create date/karma. Would make a nice testbed for offering free stuff while having some high pass filter like "HN account > 3 months old and has > 500 karma."
When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure.[0] Refer also the law of unintended consequences. [1] Conveniently we have a natural experiment from a year or two ago we can refer to. Stellar Lumens offered some free cryptocurrency to existing users, via Keybase accounts that leveraged external auth-equivalence (such as HN). It backfired spectacularly for all involved.

Edit: Ah, I see, people tried to find dormant HN and GitHub accounts. https://www.coindesk.com/stellar-tried-to-give-away-2b-xlm-t...

We need more of these as wikis, or GH repos that use robots to accept PRs. Tried it and it didn’t work? PR. Found a new one and it’s not on already? PR. Also, it would be a really nice bonus if “date added” was generated from the git commit that added the resource.
Specially if you auto deploy it too
really impressed with Azure's new UI... its the little things like this that make me want to use it over GCP etc.

Sounds like this could lead to another Hacktoberfest situation where people just post low effort comments and posts on hackernews just so they can get over the threshold. And some people might even make tutorials.
What I'm trying to say is that you do get what you pay for (or don't).
