All pieces can move everywhere...? And no rules seem to be in effect. What's the purpose of this?

Stripe also has apple pay these days I believe.


They do. Apple, Google and many other payment options. Plus Stripe Link so you can save your card and pay across many sites now.


Sounds like you are a "real developer". Don't sell yourself short.


Mobile site looks terrible to view. Colors everywhere and quite some bits not fitting on the screen. Reminds me of geocities.


Looks like no effort was spent on responsiveness, which feels kind of ironic.


The author commented elsethread that they're well aware their blog is due for some love but refused to get distracted by yak shaving that until they had downpour itself shipped.

That seems pretty reasonable to me under the circumstances.


Hacker News is full of people telling me how much they miss GeoCities. I have no idea why but I hope they find what they are looking for.


Looks really well done. The documentation was very well written. I don't have a use case at the moment but it was interesting reading through the documentation to see what is possible. The state management and replaying games seemed neat. I'm writing my own set of games and just thinking about making the system flexible enough for others to integrate with feels like a big undertaking. Cudos for the work you put in.


It kills me that this is the top comment which provides no substance to its claim. Personally, I love Spring Boot both at work and in my side projects. Can it be annoying if you get off the main path? Yes. Does it provide a bunch of useful things for most common web flows. Definitely.

Let's hear why you think we shouldn't be talking about it.


Mine takes about ~3 min per image, didn't do anything special. Left everything at default settings after my initial install (about 5 days ago). Not speedy but certainly not 15 min. Running on an M1 with 32gb ram.


I recently set it up with a variety of apps (frontend/backend) behind it. Where did you see it should only be a basic html app? Don't recall reading that in their documentation.


I just did a bit of research. They updated[0] their ToS a while back. At the time I asked[1] if people thought this change would apply to tunnels. Based on the answer to that I would say it's no longer prohibited, which is great.

Hope you enjoy your stay. I'm going on 8 years in the Netherlands (originally from the USA). The freedom my kids have here is a major reason we are still here. Biking everywhere is amazing. Work life balance and the ability to work part time is also a huge benefit over the US.

What area are you moving to?


Thanks! Hilversum, which wasn't my top choice (Houten/Utrecht were) but it gives us a foothold and a year to decide where to settle permanently.


Loved the sleeping through the tech interview post you highlighted. Very amusing. Great writing style.


Thanks! I have been working on that style of writing some more. I have another story in that "universe" called Protos (https://xeiaso.net/blog/protos) that you may enjoy. I'm working on some more, but it's a very subtle kind of magick that you have to poke at from all angles simultaneously. It takes effort.

I'm sure I'll come up with something eventually, I might do one about spatial computing. That seems like it could be a fun topic for this kind of satire.


That post reminded me (and perhaps is a contemporary of) "Hexing the Coding Interview" by aphyr/Kyle Kingsbury.


Very intentionally. Those posts stand out to me as a brilliant level of technical writing that I want to reach some day.
