I'm working on a #programming project (#opensource) and I want to make a post about it on #HackerNews.
It is functional and works quite well for having started work on it recently. Should I just make the post on HN?
I've always wanted an RSS feed of only the interesting stories, blog posts, and longreads that make it to the Hacker News front page. Thus, I am happy to announce that I've just made and released one: https://feedle.world/hacker-news
📢 We have added a third curated collection to our growing list! This one features read-worthy stories that are currently on the Hacker News front page. Just the stories worth your readign attention.
From HN: Google laid off its “Python Foundations” team. Responsible for internal Python tooling and migrations, and contributing to the external Python ecosystem. Fascinating discussion on HN as well. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40171125
What a weekend! And yet, our machines handled the #hackernews load like champs! 💪
Here are some stats for the techy geeks:
We run feedle as a cluster of load-balanced container instances across several physical servers rented on #Hetzner. We've generously given each instance enough CPU, and yet, despite the HN rush, it barely registered. That's all thanks to the clever choice of backend technology, and using async wherever possible.
It’s interesting that #hackernews seems to have done some sort of moderation action to my piece to lower its ranking. It was top of the site and then suddenly disappeared from the first page.
ok, since I am still waiting for my Usenet account (via solene), my first attempt at gnus-ing my emacs is via nnhackernews.
Since hackernews is already threaded, it works charmingly well.
Dickmao made a twitter backend for nus, so perhaps I will be able to find an activitypub one? One thing I don't like about Mastodon is the general idea - a flow of posts, all with hidden hierarchy. Having this in a threaded UI would make it a million times better. Maybe one day :)
Periodically an #Emacs post makes it to the front page of #HackerNews. Usually it's the same tired set of opinions and misunderstandings—both in the post and the comments.
But every now and again there's a post like this one today, that steps outside the box to show why Emacs is still delightful and still relevant. Thanks, @bbatsov!
not anymore, my friends from #hackernews , not anymore . @midzer built thumbnails and WEBP-support for #flohmarkt today. and i helped him integrate it. it's amazing to see how fast stuff is loading now :)
in backend news, we made the communication with SMTP-servers more resilient, so your outbound mails just take a beer from the fridge and chill if your mailserver isn't available for a few moments.
52% of Serious Vulnerabilities We Find are Related to Windows 10
"The high average numbers of 'Critical' and 'High' findings are largely influenced by assets running Microsoft Windows or Microsoft Windows Server operating systems."
Does this mean we should upgrade all our Windows 10 laptops to Windows 11?
