Not sure this counts as hardware, but I finally bought a hi-fi and spent quite an uncomfortable amount on old Congolese records. I found the idea of spending so much on something so indulgent difficult at the time but it brings me immeasura

I haven't dealt with AWS very much, but I suspected that might be the case. Thanks for the figures. I guess the margins on bandwidth must be quite significant for cloud service providers.

Even if Facebook's claim were true, I have precisely zero sympathy for any company that runs ads anyway.

Always pleased to see more alternatives to Netlify/Vercel. I love how easy Netlify makes it to deploy things, but I don't really understand their pricing. I recently built a pretty basic static webapp that would have racked up aro

A while back I spent a good few weeks wrangling with NestJS and various other frameworks before I came across Nexus. I managed to rebuild my entire application—all of the work I'd done over the past few weeks—in a few hours with Nexus.

It helps streamline the dev workflow, absolutely. At a very basic level, it's much faster for me to write "p-4" than "padding: 1rem;". A big benefit I see is the constraints it introduces. If another developer comes

Yeesh, it was a light hearted joke about KFC because of the mildly amusing tangential link you made between the logistical problems of a fast-food retailer and a nationwide once-in-a-lifetime government backed vaccine rollout. No, I didn&#x

I know it's guaranteed internet points to deride the current government, and the ferry thing is/was despicable, but I think it's highly unlikely they're going to put KFC in charge of logistical operations for the vaccine

Plenty of cyclists in central London have carbon fibre commuter bikes and wear lycra and cleats for a sub-20 mile ride, stopping traffic lights every 2 minutes. I don't think logic has much to do with how most people choose cycling gea

Having freelanced, contracted and worked at graphic design studios, ad agencies, font foundries, charities, finance companies, publishing companies and in government in the UK, I can safely say I've never seen any design departments us

I'm no expert when it comes to transactions or databases in general, so excuse my ignorance, but it seems to me an API to perform extremely simple transactions like the one outlined in that issue (no external systems or other databases

I love Prisma and am a huge fan of Nexus[1] in particular. But it's interesting that you mention transactions as Prisma does not yet support long running transactions[2]. I have a side project that I've been working on for a littl

Ocado are the reason I stopped buying food online. Their customer service is absolutely atrocious. One example: An order I needed to make dinner for some friends that were coming over just didn't turn up one day. I called close to ten

"Sense check" is one that infuriates me. Just say "check". Every place I've worked with managers that speak like this has invariably produced crap.

I don't understand this assumption that "x shaming" is inherently a negative thing. Shame is an essential social emotion. I don't see what's wrong with shaming people for unethical or immoral choices they choose to

Late 2018. I got a big income bump in early 2017 and both my partner I and were able to save for a deposit by living frugally for a couple of years. I wouldn't have been able to do it alone though, I think you realistically need two in

Yes. It's a split really. I was lucky enough that when I quit my job to go solo, some clients I'd worked with previously got in touch directly after my non-compete clause expired. Other work I've found through friends. I also

I've been using Vue since late 2014 and I'm a huge fan of how it's evolved. My day job is pretty much as a full time Vue consultant at this point, so I owe a lot to the project as a whole. I think the Vue team are a really gr

Can you keep the comments like this on Reddit and away from HN, please? For the non-UK users reading this: almost all of the bullet pointed statements are either incorrect or exaggerated.

I've been contracting for just over a year in London as a JS dev. £500 is a good day rate, I've seen as low as £250 advertised. It also varies a little, for example front-end gigs using React will generally pay better than Vue (a

Exactly! Whilst I understand the reasons, it is nevertheless a shame that the willingness is born from requirement rather than the want of actually making things accessible for as many users as possible.
