[Show HN] A Service that Deploys Your Applications to The Cloud and Maintains It: A2Way

Hello HN!

Me and my wife thought long and hard about starting our own business, however small it may be, and we found something to offer.

We both develop web applications in a company. I am self-taught and have 9+ years of experience in the field, while she has a degree in Computing and Information Technology with 2 published research papers* and experience of 2+ years in the field.

We found a way to turn our free hours into money, by deploying and maintaining your or your client's web applications.

Obviously there are more advanced services that you can choose, and get automated deployments and more. However, that is not the market we are targetting. We are targetting the group of people who knows they need to have something (Appliation, website, anything.) online, but they do not have time or knowledge to do that. I hope there is room for small fish in the sea.

We have set-up a landing page for it, and added a contact form, for interested parties to contact us.

We'd be delighted to hear your thoughts on this, and will be so much thankful for any leads.

Check us out: https://a2way.com/

We are providing a free quote.

>Artificially limiting what you can and cannot do on your hardware is a bad precedent.

Everything does it - from Intel chips being binned by performance, Windows versions and # of CPUs, and pretty much any big software products.

Another way to see it is: it costs X to develop a line, and a vendor can charge everyone the same, no matter how they use it, or they can design and partition the line so users with different needs pay more or less. So, for example, a home PC with 8 cores is not paying for software that handles 128 cores, and those needing 128 core software pay more. When Intel does a run of CPUs, and tests them, and finds some can run at 4 GHz, and others only at 3 GHz, then they can either throw out the 3GHz ones and charge everyone much, much more for the single sku, or they can partition the same chip into bins for different prices, effectively lowering the chip cost for every single sku.

The alternative to pricing in tiers is to charge the 128 core user less, and the 8 core user more, then the majority of users get charged more for things they will never use. Or only sell the top of the top of the chip yield, making the per unit cost astronomical, since now your yields dropped through the floor.

Personally, I like market segmentation, since it allows me to only pay for the things I want, while others can buy the things they want. I prefer not being charged to support development of things I don't want or need. And in some cases it lowers the cost for everyone.
No, that isn’t what it’s doing. All it’s doing is saying that we aren’t going to announce a 99.99% deflation in hard drives because now they are measured in TB instead of MB in the 90s, and things of that nature. In a platonic ideal the CPI aims to measure an unchanging basket of goods, but when this becomes impossible in reality something needs to be done.
When Google acquired Waze, Waze was nearly running out of money / dead. Google paid the acquisition very well. It's something Waze people didn't talk about.
Right, nobody sees the captchas for the static CSS files either. I agree that doesn't make any sense. Besides being inconvenient and broken, "doesn't make sense" is synonymous with unpredictable. Hope this helps.

You're making a distinction between their services. That's fine, I understand and disagree. As a publisher/developer, I wouldn't be interested for the reasons listed.

Aside from that, for most new sites, I remove unused CSS, JS and inline everything into the document. Better pagespeed score this way.
Redo your math, in space the speed of light is at it's max. On fiber or cable the speed is cut almost in half. Result, Starlink with lasers can be faster.
Oracle Flexcube is a packaged banking product. While Citibank did make the choice to purchase the product, the UI design flaw is really inherent in the product itself.

You're right, all it requires is a call to compinit from base zsh: `autoload -Uz compinit; compinit` And compinstall can be used to configure things like the case-sensitivity or amount of ambiguity accepted in matches using a nice menu system.
Writing primitives like cons, car and cdr in assembler, a garbage collector in assembler, and eval in assembler would make a great amount of sense, from a performance and bootstrapping POV.

A Lisp compiler in assembler is just about rationally unjustifiable, though.
This is also the approach taking in aviation safety, and similar safety-critical systems. The pilot is treated as part of the system. Just like any other component, it's a part that can fail, and its error states can be modeled. Performance and reliability can be affected by training and certification, but just like anything else you're shooting for a threshold of tolerance for errors, not a complete removal of errors.
Curious about this as well. The portal shows target delivery by 2022 when I apply to pre-order for an address in Kolkata. They will probably have to revisit the pricing model based on the local economy. But yeah, I'm worried whether the current govt will even allow such devices to be imported given they want a tighter control over the internet.

On the other hand, I believe this kind of connectivity will be extremely beneficial for cities such as Kolkata which suffer due to lack of proper infrastructure (and of course, lack of political will). I would love to see a future when I can move back to Kolkata and work with the same latency to servers in NorAM.
> I shouldn't be forced to take a position on premature Martian independence just because I hate Comcast.

We really do live in the future!
For Harambe?
Yes, but if the error consistently results in you getting paid more than you should have, it's not really an error, is it? No, we would in fact call that fraud.

Where do you draw the line between blaming the UX and blaming the training process, or the inevitable cases where an irreversible decision made under uncertainty turned out to be the wrong one? Some level of training is certainly needed, so in my naive view anyway, it makes no sense to attribute every error to UX.

For example, let's say a pilot belly-lands because they failed to lower their landing gear, possibly because they were distracted by some other equipment failure, or possibly because sometimes qualified and experienced pilots do this. This error could have been avoided with, say, an automated spoken "gear up" warning instead of a nonverbal warning horn (I have no idea if some aircraft already have this). But it could also have been avoided by longer and more extensive training, right?
"Since you're a careful programmer, you are therefore smart and you never call a null function pointer."

I don't think that's remotely justifiable to assume in modern times. There's 150K lines of C code in the curl repository, with commits from 862 authors, 555 of which ever only made a single commit.

There's no doubt that some of those will be less than perfect, or have an off day, or just not be familiar enough with the code, or that somebody will mess up a merge and remove a line too many.
>Why are you advocating for the lowest common denominator among humans?

That's awfully reductionist of you and absolutely not what I'm doing. I'm simply arguing that people saying "no one wants this" are wrong because I am a person that wants this. I do not want my family or friends, who reach out to me for support with their computers and phones, to be able to install and sideload apps.

I've been through these situations already and, yes, while a lot of people will be fine and can sideload without issues, there are just as many who mess everything up and waste my time when I have to restore everything without losing their data. These are not tech savvy people and they don't understand the risks.

Additionally, yes... people have the choice to go Android where they can sideload. That's the choice. Apple or Android. There is no other choice and I'm fine with that and actively support it.
It's not like we'd stop protecting our oil supply if we converted to Bitcoin. We'd still need oil for cars and planes and so on. If we manage to stop using oil, we won't need the military to protect it anymore, even if we haven't converted to Bitcoin.

So I don't think we can lay the military's oil consumption at fiat's feet.
It might only be counting equity that returned something, in which case 30k seems plausible.
The weirdest part seems to me that the judge applied it despite the "doesn't have prior knowledge the payment was a mistake" part. The dept traded for not even half its value, nobody actually expected Revlon to ever pay it back. I think anyone on the receiving end claiming that there was nothing questionable about it suddenly getting repaid in full would have problems keeping a straight face.

They aren't instantly addictive, though: As in, I've had opioids prescribed, took as needed, and still have some in the cabinet that are probably expired.

I've smoked opium a handful of times. It smells wonderfully.

And yet, if I take any drug regularly, I'm using something with THC in it (hash or pot, in general). I currently do not, however, and tend to have a few drinks and get high on the weekends. Not a big deal if I don't, though.

I've had medical grade heroin in the hospital (morphine didn't take care of the pain). No withdrawal, though I was wonderfully high. Haven't gone to a morphine habit.

The prudent thing to do is not to say, "opioids are instantly addictive", but to give folks safe ways to detox from them and give folks information on signs of addiction - because not everyone has such experiences.
> This also means that very long-lived platforms will probably be forced to upgrade that library every half year or so in line with the development of rust.

As a security library... you really ought to be updating it every half year of so.

This has nothing to do with rust though. Rust maintains full backwards compatibility, so even if you upgrade the compiler (which is unlikely on long lived platforms) and not the library nothing breaks.

Nor is it necessarily the case that upgrading the library will require updating rust (though this isn't what you appear to be complaining about). Not only is it a build time dependency (that you don't even need to install if you are on common platforms which ave prebuilt binaries), but they are explicitly testing against a particular fixed old version of rust as well as recent ones: https://github.com/pyca/cryptography/blob/main/.github/workf...

> I'd say such an initiative needs a long-term supported version of rust, similar to C99 or so.

This describes every version of rust since 1.0. Rust is fully backwards compatible, unlike new C standards.

> Do we have anyone committed to providing a stable rust environment for these cases?

Yes, the entire rust team...

> Especially considering that rust has no ABI for dynamic libraries.

This is... rather irrelevant? Technically it does have support for the C abi for dynamic libraries though.
Take it easy, I'm not complaining at all. It is interesting. It's just odd (nothing more), like 5 articles on Forth the same day.

Think running into 5 kangaroos in a row in NYC.
It looks like they were all under-qualified. I wonder how much the decision to hire them all will end up costing anyone other than them, and the people who hired them.

Try another Logitech. Their low-profile mechanical keyboards are very popular with my keyboard snob friends. :)

I haven't tried them yet myself, since I prefer a narrower layout. I really love my Drop ALT but it's not low profile.
I think you are correct.

The more accessible opting out becomes, the more leverage regulator people will have when negotiating with the dominant social order.

Space travel like this is down the road, but it’s only a long road if you are thinking in terms of your own finite existence.

Also, opting out is in demand. From a more immediate perspective, I think that there is a lot of room for innovation around personal privacy and opting out. No system created by humans is permanent. More surveillance means that humans will create systems to subvert it or render it useless. This has already happened in many ways.

A system is nicer to its people when they are there voluntarily. These changes will also work to improve the quality of life of those in the system as well as those outside of it.
When faced with UI as shitty as this, they could’ve (and in hindsight obviously should’ve) instituted a two step procedure where not just the principal gets put into an internal wash account, but the interest also goes to an internal account. Then the next day they can pay out from the interest only account. That way a mistake would be caught before the money leaves the bank. But hey, I don’t feel too sorry for them if they still haven’t figured out this whole banking thing after 208 years in the business.
Security <---------------------------X-> Convenience

The 'X' is where I imagine most startups are focusing for usability and time to market so they survive.

Moving the 'X' farther left delays time to market and increases overhead for the company, tech and users.
Yes, but back then nothing more than the first few ideas towards their PoS existed IIRC.

2-3 years ago is when the Casper FFG paper was published and subsequently the architecture of Ethereum 2.0 (and the concrete 3-phase roadmap towards it) were published.
The dangers of the drug mostly come from its legal status and that it is being adulterated with various substances in the unregulated market. People also don't get a leaflet that they can consult on the strength or dosage so often they overdose.
Medical grade heroin is not as dangerous as people supporting prohibition would like it to be. You can take clean heroin for decades and be perfectly fine. This would rather not apply to alcohol or other legal drugs.
Ok.

You'll find many required open standards in civic engineering and aerospace engineering, and really, any engineering where engineers carry liability. They adapt and change in response to deficiencies discovered.
It was, "cryptography".
Not sure why you are getting downvoted ? The crux of it is that the rest of world(ROW) wishes to net export to America and America wishes to net import. So ROW, wants to save dollars and maintain a relatively stable exchange rate in order for prices to remain attractive. Unless and untill someone else steps up as net import for ROW, I don't see it happening. Also, we benefit from this world order because ROW spends bares the real world costs of production: labor, pollution, raw materials, etc where as we bare the monetary costs which are not 'real' world costs and you could argue since there is no gold standard, monetary costs are just the entering numbers into a spreadsheet. Its a racket.
Leningrad NPP is at about the same distance from Saint Petersburg, Kursk NPP from Kursk, etc. There's a power plant in the suburbs of Antwerp, another one in Lyon, another two near Toronto, etc. There's a French NPP 20 km from Luxembourg and a Swiss NPP on German border. What is your point here?

Oh man I've seen Hart making the rounds. The obvious privilege of being a tenured Ivy League professor aside, a few things jump out

- Yes it would be nice if drugs were decriminalized ... but they aren't ... and the supply chain for heroin causes a lot of suffering in the world.

- Shrugging and leading with "only 30% of people have addictions" is astoundingly innumerate. If there were a 30% chance of a potentially fatal outcome in almost any other context it would be a big deal.
SiriusXM did this exact thing to me. Temp credit card declined and they kept my service active and continued to try to collect from me. I wasted hours of my life going through this cluster.
Here's the distinction though: $400 out of the $900 million was returned. Thus, it seems like we can't get past your part A) in this case, as hedge funds had enough reason to think the payment was a mistake that they returned it. I doubt the creditors in this case are so heterogeneous such that one creditor has no reason at all to think it was a mistake while another does.
I appreciate skepticism, but attacking someone's credibility isn't as useful as attacking their argument on its merits. Are there points he makes or facts he uses in his article which are themselves invalid or in bad faith?
I use a $20 "Made in China" Dell KB212-B. The ONLY issue I have is that I can't program some shortcut to use the arrow keys via WASD or something, since reaching for the arrow keys in code slows down my typing a LOT, especially since I use it frequently for things like ctrl + -->, ctrl + shift + -->, etc. I also use Home and End frequently to go to end of the line and alt + ^ to move lines up and down.

Other than that though, I have tried co-workers $200 keyboards and see zero difference. I guess the short keyboards are kind of cool to have your hands truly centered when using a mouse.
In India we have the TVS Gold range of mechanical keyboards that are complete rip-offs of the Model M but are also very cheap: https://www.tvs-e.in/keyboards-and-mice/

They are extremely popular, almost standard-issue in most of India's government offices.
Switching to an Ergodox with a Dvorak layout changed my life. I used to have crazy pain after 6 - 8 hours of typing. Now I can easily go 12 - 14 with no issues whatsoever.

Obviously that is not healthy or sustainable in the long term for other reasons but it’s a huge weight off my shoulders not thinking I’m ruining my wrists trying to meet a launch date.
> I'm not saying our drug laws are just or can't be reformed but the fact that heroin is illegal prevents a LOT of people from using it. How many people will then use, aided by these pronouncements that "Heroin isn't actually that addictive!" and ruin their lives?

Do you know a lot of people who have expressed to you that they would use heroin recreationally if only it were legal? My gut is that the number isn’t large.

My impression of the evidence from places that have tried decriminalization (eg Portugal) is that the number of people who use and then are able to get their lives back on the rails is higher than the extra people who use because it’s decriminalized.
Why is that? Because the adults in these locales are anti-social? Something else? Whatever the problem, we should take responsibility and try to better our neighborhood for our kids.

I'm glad I wasn't raised and don't currently live in such locales of the US. I knew all my neighbors and a lot of store owners growing up. I know a lot of the neighborhood kids today, and luckily it's never come to this, but I hope they know they can knock on my door if they need something.

Some nuclear tech choices are geopolitically motivated. Romania licensed CANDU specifically because its then communist leader did not trust the Soviets after the invasion if Hungary and Czechoslovakia. They also have or had domestic heavy water production and domestic nuclear fuel production.

> I think this is a marketing trick so that both gamers and miners are happy, RTX line for gamers and CMP line for miners, win-win for NVIDIA :-)

But they won't magically have twice the amount of chips on hand, will they? So either they make a lot of CMP cards and too little RTX cards, and gamers will still struggle to get one, or they'll make sufficient RTX cards and too few CMP ones and miners have a big incentive to get around those restrictions (and will, in all likelihood). I guess they can mark up those CMP cards and include some mining-friendly features in the future for some additional revenue.

Most ceiling fixtures have a couple bulbs. Get one with three, and a bedside table + lamp on each side of the bed. That’s at least five hue bulbs, which lights up a room very effectively. Not full sunlight, but enough.

I think you aren’t including in your calcs that you’re presumably not in a black room. A light colored paint means the light that isn’t going straight to your eyes from the bulb still brightens the room significantly.

$0. I'm not an Apple employee and all my comments are not defending Apple. Most of them might be because I only go on HN to discuss programming and Apple.

Interesting, though, that instead of actually arguing any of my points, you want to claim, without any proof, that I'm a shill based on what I like to talk about. Instead of attacking me based on my history, how about actually addressing the points I'm making? Clearly you're unable or unwilling to do so.
Still under the authority of a state. Escaping to Patagonia doesn’t really let you avoid governmental surveillance, just makes you less of a target.

It is, in fact, very difficult to tell what the people of Texas really want, because their districts have been gerrymandered to hell and gone for decades now.
