hxn | 8 years ago | on: Spotify Form F-1
I am a huge huge music fan and meanwhile I tried most music services. I had Spotify for a while too.
But nowadays I prefer to use smaller sites like http://www.bandcamp.com and the sites of small labels.
For discovery I use http://www.gnoosic.com an AI recommender created by a fellow HN member.
For me, music consumption feels more adventurous this way.
hxn | 8 years ago | on: After Bitcoin Futures, Watch Out for Crypto Repos
I would not do it on an exchange for two reasons:
1) Counterparty risk. Bitcoin exchanges go out of business way too often.
2) They have enough money to manipulate the market.

I would like to bet on the performance of Bitcoin Cash versus Bitcoin. But I cannot think of any way to do so. Any ideas?

hxn | 8 years ago | on: Now UI Kit – A Bootstrap 4 UI kit
These collections of ui elements or kits as it is named here never made sense to me. If you designed a nice button or slider or dropdown, hell yeah, publish the css and if necessary js. But bundling everything that might be needed does not make sense to me.

Would it help if more people would have a personal website?
Or would that just put the power into the hands of whoever runs the DNS system

Looks like every tool has its upsides and downsides. This one lacks full PCRE syntax support. Does one have to install Rust to use it?

33 points in 43 minutes and not on the frontpage.. would be nice to get a word from the mods why this post is taken off.

Yes, Millions of pageviews. According to Google Analytics. Adsense only shows about 500k pageviews a month though. Guess the rest uses adblockers. In terms of optimizations, I tried a few placements and settings. Nothing moved the needle much.
hxn | 10 years ago | on: The sad economics of being famous on the internet
It's similar with websites. As a developer, I find it easy to build things people want. My websites get millions of pageviews every month. Yet, I make less then $200 per month from Adsense. No idea how high this could get with better monetization or what the path to betterm monetization would be.

The template element looks very useful. Basic support in old browsers should be possible by simply setting it to display:none.

So the short answer is that it does not work. Lots of fiddling and they dont even get the native resolution working according to the posts.

Did somebody already install Linux on it? I think my next laptop will either be a MacBook 12 inch or whatever this new very light apple laptop is called. Or a Surface 3. I just need to be sure it runs Linux.

hxn | 11 years ago | on: Grepping logs is terrible
Text logs let me do all the things I want to do.
Grep them, tail them, copy and paste, search, transform them, look at them in less, open them in any editor. I love two write little bash oneliners that answer questions about logs. I can use these onliners everywhere anytime.
I dont have any of the efficiency problems the author talks about.

That works. Well, that is the video that gives me the STOP SPAMMING message.
