In what country do you live? I've had children in two European countries, in both it was common knowledge that natural birth is safer then cesarean and doctors/hospital strongly prefer it.

I work remotely. I drive a 8y old BMW 2 series (manual). Ran 230k KM (142k miles). Has been very good to us. Bought it outright for €11k 4 years ago. I'll probably drive it into the ground because I drive like a maniac. A new car is wa

HN is almost perfect as it is. I really hope it does not change. I love that it barely has any styling. Just enough to make it work. The fact that it doesn't use any design patterns is actually one of the reasons I visit HN. The only t

I love that this is funded by the French&German government. Go Europe! Wonderful to see. My only wish is that other EU governments (my own included) would invest even more into projects like this.

In retrospect, I should've been more aggressive and risk taking with life decisions in my early teens and early twenties. Now with two small kids and a mortgage, I no longer have the flexibility to take massive risks. All the risky mov

Netherlands. Almost every major super market chain uses them and dynamically adjusts the prices. Here's an article from 2019 about a major chain intending to change all the price tags that year (Dutch): https://www.emerce.nl

This article gets pretty close, but it misses a very critical piece. If you're running Keycloak 16 or older, you'll explicitly want to enable lazy offline session loading [0]. Otherwise, Keycloak will attempt to load ALL offline s

We often experienced cascading failure, especially during rolling restarts. A node would start shutting down and Infinispan would start to try to rebalance. Due to the large volume of sessions, other nodes would start to become unresponsive

If there's anyone reading this that is planning on deploying Keycloak in a high availability environment, I would highly recommend that you persist all sessions in the database as offline sessions. At work, I ran 9 Keycloak clusters in

Romania, Cluj-Napoca by Digi. 9€/month, 1 Gbit down, 450 Mbit up. It's all fiber. You can't really get non-fiber around here. It's blazing fast and pretty stable. There are no real restrictions. They have a fair use poli

Most VPN's can be configured to only tunnel traffic to certain destinations. Maybe you can configure it to only tunnel traffic to university services?

This is a bit disingenuous. They now market themselves as the creators of Reddit, or its owners, which is not true. They employed its creator for a while, but that's all. It would've been much better for Redis's long term hea

I am not sure what appealing alternative you could offer. I didn't have a car up until recently. I got one because I had a kid. Even though I live in a small European city [0] (400k inhabitants) with bus lines everywhere, taxi's t

Chromium is open-source and the developers write pretty good commit messages about _why_ they're changing something. As for your example with --disable-features=Windows10CustomTitleBar , you can view the motivation for the relevant ch

I looked at your landing page and I don't know how it's different from its competitors except that it lacks features that your competitors have. Why should I choose it over Pingdom for example?

Really? I moved from the Netherlands to Romania a few years ago and all I had to do was register for residency at the immigration services. That took about 15 minutes. I opened a bank account the same day. Healthcare was also easy once I wa

Compared to everything? I don't think I've waited anywhere for more than an hour in my life. Maybe a ride in an amusement park or in traffic, but that would be it. Certainly not to vote or get a shot.

3 hours is just long-ish? I'd classify that as a very long wait.

"Sign in with Apple" kind of has something like this. It can give the application a randomly generated email address that acts as a forwarding address. The application never receives my real email address.
