I guess it depends on the category, for something like a database it can be easy to charge money (e.g. managed instances, charging cloud vendors, etc...) but something like frontend javascript framework it's almost impossible to do that

https://www.wqxr.org/ is one of the best classical music websites. Also https://classicalmusiconly.com/ is recommended and was featured once here in HN. Both are totally awesome for any classical music lover.

Even if you don’t like classical music their “new sounds” station is also extremely cool

Golang is awesome once you submit and accept its intentionally mediocre design as a work of mysteriously genius simplicity. I did that myself and now I love it.

I've had some interactions with @shl on Twitter where he seemed a bit full of himself (a few years ago - I didn't realize he was so young, so that probably had a lot to do with it). However, he could, and most would, have cut and run and found the next opportunity. Not doing so probably cost him millions of dollars; that's pretty authentic in my book.

I'm sorry you had those interactions with me in the past!

I think I've grown since, but it still sucks to hear that about past-me.

No worries at all. Keep building good products and you as a person (too many double down on their character flaws).

I've only had positive experiences. Very good human.

I was trying to contrast the experience I had years ago with the voice of the post, which suggested far more maturity and authenticity than my previous personal experience.

> What does it have to do with the article?

Simply a personal anecdote which I think was consistent with the message Sahil was expressing in the post: he was young, he was overconfident, and he had a lot of growth required. I would like to think that the flip side of that message, that he has grown and hasn't taken the easy way out, was something I was trying to validate, and I was providing the context for that. I wasn't trying to say he wasn't allowed to make a mistake or persecute him for his behavior; I apologize if that's what I communicated.

This is a marketing article, but at least it's fun to read.

HTTP3 is exciting, I got a couple of questions:

1. is QUIC only for HTTP3 or can be generalized for any TCP-based L7 protocol but over TLS/UDP?

2. How is Websockets dealt with in HTTP3?

From the link:

> The QUIC working group that was established to standardize the protocol within the IETF quickly decided that the QUIC protocol should be able to transfer other protocols than "just" HTTP.

> ...

> The working group did however soon decide that in order to get the proper focus and ability to deliver QUIC version 1 on time, it would focus on delivering HTTP, leaving non-HTTP transports to later work.

kinda funny that UAE and Saudi Arabia have always had blatant human rights abuses including funding terrorism in places like Syria but nobody raise a brow until they isolated Qatar roughly 2 years ago, then suddenly the abuses are appearing out of nowhere and ironically Qatar is is the only country that's worse than both of them. Also never underestimate Qatar's sleeping Islamist cells pretending to be liberals and even SJWs in the major news media nowadays

It's interesting that you mention that last bit. As a matter of fact, it's got a lot to do with left and right political ideology here.

Possibly inflammatory post coming your way ...

Qatar, Turkey, Iran, Syria (at least historically, maybe not so much with the current Al-Asad), old Libya (Qaddafi) are very leftist, and thus get along better with left-ish media and left-leaning governments like France and Canada. Also the Muslim Brotherhood, Hizb ut-Tahrir, even ISIS is (extremely) leftist and there are allegiances and/or sentiments shared between all these.

Saudi Arabia, UAE, are very rightist. And thus they get along better with USA, Russia and also even Israel.

Also the proxy war between UAE+Saudi on one side against Iran that is going on Yemen. Yemenis are poor, and their nation is being ruined. This reminds me of Eurasia vs Eastasia in far-off Malabar in George Orwell's 1984. Still no great condemnation from world leaders.

DDG has the most aggressive and adversarial marketing by an internet company I've ever seen that's only matched in intensity by Brave browser's company. Is Gabriel trying to sell before the end of the business cycle?

You can blame grey-hat and black-hat SEO for that. It's also why the quality of Google Search more generally has tanked, especially for non-trivial searches: it seems that Google is desperately trying to always play it safe and give zero incentive to potential spammers, even if this screws some users over in the short term. Bing and DDG are a lot better these days if you're looking for something highly specific, weird or uncommon, while Google is surprisingly fine for common, even trivial/mindless searches.
