Ask HN: What's the best documentation site you've come across? 2 years ago

My only gripe with the Stripe docs is that it can be slow to load / render. But the content and presentation is very good.

I love the Arch Wiki, when switching between distros I often end up looking at the Pacman/Rosetta [0], which "display the correspondence of package management commands".

Modifying the OG Xbox to have 256M of RAM [video] 2 years ago

I remember buying Skyrim VR, only for it to be unplayable without modding because the physics is tied to the FPS and anything above 60 Hz would send objects flying everywhere (including the carriage in the intro sequence).

GNU Stow needs a co-maintainer 2 years ago

A few years ago I read a blog post [0] on using GNU Stow to manage your dotfiles, I loved the idea and it inspired me to create xdot, a minimalist dotfiles manager [1] which I have been using ever since.

Biome 1.5: fast Prettier and ESLint alternative 3 years ago

I've been using biome/rome for over a year and it's getting pretty good. The rebranding looks great !

I can't wait for HTML support :)

Edit: I would love to see an equivalent to ESLint's no-floating-promises, but I believe this is blocked since the linter is not type aware (yet?).

Last Call to Migrate Mojang Accounts 3 years ago

I bought the game in 2011 (iirc), I guess they could justify this with the "Other" section of the terms of use [1]:

"We reserve the right to change this agreement at any time with or without notice, with immediate and/or retroactive effect."

No idea if this is enforceable in the US/EU.

What Does My Site Cost? 5 years ago

I think I have the same plan as you (Free 10G-EPON + 5G ?), I've seen lots of posts about broadband / mobile subscription and while prices do seems a bit higher than in Europe what shocks me the most is data caps on home internet.

Hi from Brittany !

Our flag was inspired by the US star spangled banner around 100 years ago. There's a running joke that wherever there's a demonstration you'll be able to see someone fly the Gwenn-ha-du.

Check the wikipedia page [0], it's quite interesting.

Open source Heroku Like Platform on premises 5 years ago

I investigated a little bit and it was a problem with certificates, the internal error message was "could not resolve kube integration (x509)". I was using a single-node k8s cluster hosted on Digital Ocean that I created myself.

I'm a beginner when it comes to k8s so I ended up just provisioning from the dashboard, everything's working now :)

I max out at around 1 Gbps on steam, although I think I might be bottlenecked by my cpu for decompression. Servers that allows clients to pull 8Gbps are very rare.
