  Devide by zero happens to everyone eventually. https://medium.com/@bishr_tabbaa/when-smart-ships-divide-by-zer0-uss-yorktown-4e53837f75b2 "On 21 September 1997, the USS Yorktown halted for almost three hours during training maneuvers off the coast of Cape Charles, Virginia due to a divide-by-zero error in a database application that propagated throughout the ship’s control systems.". - Source: Hacker News / 3 days ago

• A single line of code cost $8000

  Far far more damage has come from a single line: >> On 21 September 1997, the USS Yorktown halted for almost three hours during training maneuvers off the coast of Cape Charles, Virginia due to a divide-by-zero error in a database application that propagated throughout the ship’s control systems. https://medium.com/@bishr_tabbaa/when-smart-ships-divide-by-zer0-uss-yorktown-4e53837f75b2. - Source: Hacker News / 2 days ago

• Firefox tab groups are here

  It's worth remembering that Firefox HAD tab groups before, just under a different name and then killed it because "nobody used it": https://medium.com/@twidi/how-i-survived-the-removal-of-panorama-in-firefox-2b898b027877 The implementation here is a bit different, I'm sure, but the core idea is the same: Group your tabs however you like and switch between the groups at will.

• Show HN: LinkedIn sucks, so I built a better one

  There's a ton of those platforms, varying from extremely unknown to fairly well established. I'm pretty sure multiple of them end up as a Show HN every year. The only thing on your list they generally don't do is domain registration, but keeping that separate is generally a good thing. Sibling mentioned bearblog.dev, I'll mention write.as[1].

• WriteFreely: An open source platform for building a writing space on the web

  I'd noticed some years back that this project seems to have started with a pretty strong anonymity story: https://write.as/ That seemed to diminish in emphasis a few years ago, stopped accepting accounts that didn't give you a credit card end of 2021, and some year recently (last year? I forget…) seemed as though the warrant canary missed a couple updates. (It's up to date now, with an assertion of no warrants... - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• WriteFreely: An open source platform for building a writing space on the web

  From what I understand, Mastodon is to Twitter as WriteFreely is to WordPress.com/Medium/Blogger/etc. Fediverse-aware, open-source, with a flagship SaaS hosted instance available at https://write.as. If microblogging hadn't fried my brain and I was interested in spinning up a longform blog, this is the software I would choose. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• Researchers, please replace SQLite with DuckDB now

  Substack has problems too. For hosted foss services, write.as (https://write.as/) and bearblog (https://bearblog.dev/) are good. If self-hosting, the choices are infinite. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Link Building for Non-Scumbags: Build Authority Without Being Awful

  Take the site write.as, for instance, which has a 70 domain authority (Moz) and a 79 domain rating (Ahrefs).  Both of those are very high scores and represent the kind of links that would probably retail for at least $400 on the gray market for backlinks.  Write.as will happily give you as many of these as you want for $6 per month. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago
