I always chuckle at this site does not need SSL post from n-gate.

PS: Use the URL directly in browser because the site doesn't like traffic from HN.

It is but it is still an order of magnitude slower than the ram on the chip. You don't use ddr2 ram in your pc today, do you?

5-6 containers simultaneously with other applications?

64gb if you don't want to end up with swap. 32gb is the bare minimum.

Ram on m1 is split between gpu and cpu. 16gb is more like 10gb available to the actual application.

Don't believe in all the hype and misinformation surrounding ram efficiency on m1.

Swap is fast enough for most casual users to not notice the impact but as a developer or creator, you will definitely notice it.

You can use a MoR payment provider such as paddle or spring which handle tax compliance for you globally. They will pay tax and take liability on behalf of you.

They charge 5% per transaction.

Yeah, I built a graphql API for HN for this reason. It will let you fetch all comments, users, and posts in a single request.

Can you allow login and write operation via the API?

I want to build a HN web client but it's not possible without scrapping the site which won't scale.

I got shocked.

Picture of testing device showing the current flow from a cable: https://ibb.co/YbqtgVX

Anything attached to the macbook port is causing shock on the exposed parts while it is plugged into that charger.

I wouldn't call it safe. If you read some of the bottom answers, they also elaborate on the same topic. Furthermore, I don't live in UK and there can be different electrical standards in terms of wiring.

I don't face this issue while using the grounded charger hence it is limited to apple charger which I double checked for missing ground support.

Lichess is amazing given how little they receive in funding. The interface is miles ahead of commercial competitors.

They also handle guest plays much better. I've faced less cheating bots and no annoying pop ups on lichess when playing as a guest compared to chess.com

Can anyone point me to how they handle cheating detection? I would love a high level overview of how it works especially when you have no data on the player.

I recommend session now.

https://getsession.org/

It doesn't require creating an account and giving up your phone number.

They use the same signal protocol with different trade off in terms of security and privacy[0]

My only concern is they are based in Australia.
