What details? For a "senior contributer" at Forbes, the article is vague and filled with obvious typos. Doesn't appear to add anything of substance. This is just an independent chatgpt editorial that eludes to the importance of cybersecurity.

that's one way to reduce ewaste I'm working on

pretty basic stuff till now:

but hoping it will work out

How is HN working? Don't you guys use Firebase in prod?

(No affiliation, just what I've picked up.)

HN doesn't depend on Firebase, the HN API does but HN isn't built on top of it (and presumably the API is down). HN is a monolith which uses a disk as it's database, it goes down sometimes when eg the disk fails, and it can't scale so under heavy load it starts failing requests, but it's about as robust to cloud outages as it's possible to be.

Fun fact: HN was down once because both the disks failed at 40000 hours. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32026606

It's amazing that it's almost never down, unless it's especially obscure things like this.

Thanks a lot for the honest feedback, I wrote this piece few months ago, and didn't get the time to build links and setup a framework for the website.

Feedback on the copy, and your inputs are greatly appreciated, I'll try to make the piece more gentle and human as possible, first.

Based on your experience you could venture into some startup as a Angel Investor and Advisor for the moment, until then stay curious.

Do you source results from search engines or have your own search index and algorithm at linkup ?

They have both

A game engine that's opensource and supports Linux. Love it

It's not open source, it's source available.

I am interested, but I wish there was more content online or verification of the company, so I am not going to submit for now.

Thank you for writing these thoughts.

I've also reached a similar conclusion while building ZeeeroOS from scratch.

There's also Fat binaries(arch independent) that should be considered but no one does when building for Linux.
