Orange Words. My hobby project, a hacker news search system. It was initially created by hand and now I use AI augmented development. It's a good low risk environment for experimenting.
Ah, so this is why I suddenly got a bunch of email.
Hey all, site owner here. Thanks for the visits and all the fun stories! I really miss this era of computing. Feel free to let me know if you have something that should be added to the site.
Just fyi, towel.blinkenlights.nl:23 still works for me, though I think maybe that's an IPv6 version, there's a note about ipv6 at the start that I was too slow to read. Maybe it should be re-listed? :)
Writing code that runs down hole or otherwise connects back to the real world would be fun. Maybe I should pickup firmware skills. Good luck with your hiring!
For Vespa there's a managed version hosted by the Vespa company in their cloud environment, and then the open source version is easily run locally or in any environment of your choosing. It takes some attention to detail, but it's quite flexible. I have a long running single node instance on an Intel NUC, but I've also run more complex cluster variations across different cloud environments.
Unrelated to the core topic, I really enjoy the aesthetic of their website. Another similar one is from Fixie.ai (also, interestingly, one of their customers).
This was my first thought too, after reading through their blog. This feels like a no-frills website made by an engineer, who makes things that just work.
The documentation is great, I really appreciate them putting the roadmap front and centre.
Yes, I like the turboxyz123 animation and contrast to the minimalist website (reminds me of the zen garden with a single rock). I think people forget nowadays in their haste to add the latest and greatest react animation, that too much noise is a thing.
