Best stack cloud providers don't want you to know about, /dev/null for db and https://github.com/kelseyhightower/nocode for the backend.

I guess we have a perfect idea for vaporware here. (pun intended) I am putting my marketing hat on right now.
You've been beaten to the punch: https://devnull-as-a-service.com/
It's down!

Did you route the support requests to /dev/null as well?
Haha, I guess support.google.com is an ACID compliant database as well.
My /dev/null of choice is https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/

You’re right, we should ban jokes that aren’t 100% correct!

#106More than that, /dev/null is infinitely scalable.
Re: /dev/null is an ACID compliant database
#107/dev/null is not a database. By this logic is a hard disk a database, is a CD a database. No. They are storage mediums. You could store a database on them, but they themselves are not a database. Considering there is no way to read back data written to /dev/null it will not be useful for storing database data.

#108In a similar vein, this is one of the most interesting things I’ve come across on HN over the years: https://www.linusakesson.net/programming/pipelogic/index.php Past HN post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15363029
I hadn’t seen this before, this is sick! thanks for posting it here :)

Joking aside I can’t ever remember seeing a bug in either bash or zsh, never seen either crash or segfault and anytime I’ve had weirdness it’s always turned out to be me missing something. Both (along with a lot of the standard utilities) are a testament to what talented C programmers plus years of people beating on them in unintended ways can achieve in terms of reliability/stability.
I had a fun bug where bash would run scripts out of order! This would lead to impossible states, like if cat foo | false; then echo hmm; fi Producing output sometimes, depending on whether or not `cat foo` or `false` return value was used [0] https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2015-06/msg00010...
This was an interesting read.
