Seeing how it hasn't survived the HN hug of death... Not sure how you've built it but consider putting it behind a CDN or something and caching the responses, esp since you're trying to pull live data

It was never down - it was being patched and redeployed based on feedback here.

Webapp is light enough to handle 10000 concurrent hits.

I can't tell much about your infrastructure, but memcached would probably increase that by several orders of magnitude. The NGINX module is pretty simple: https://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_memcached_module.htm...

Cloudflare with Cache-Control headers is even simpler if you're okay with adding Cloudflare as a dependency.

From an ASN lookup, it appears you're hosting on Oracle Cloud, so Cloudflare would also give you free data egress: https://blogs.oracle.com/cloud-infrastructure/why-cdn-client...

Their Always-On feature would also help if Oracle has an outage.

I like the general idea, very lightweight and more likely to remain accessible when an emergency is overloading the mobile networks.

Thank you! I will implement this - the server code is in plain C with NGINX on top so I presume adding memached would be straightforward.

It's weird, I never had that problem yet suddenly my old clothes started shrinking a couple years ago too.

Might have been our new hangers.

Clearly you've never worked at a large company before :)

Hold on to your optimism, but try not to let that turn into scorn for folks who've seen the other side.

Not sure what happened here, but it's not uncommon for a post to have one primary author and then multiple reviewers/supporters also credited

Yep that's pretty much the case here!

To be fair, their concern tends to be a more consistent "Don't push these corrupting agents towards me or my society"

If the school curriculum aligned with their belief system, they won't be talking about a need for control

Except “corrupting” in this case often just means “LGBTQ”. In exactly the same way “corrupting influence” used to mean “music made by black people” or “anything pro-worker”.

Corrupting ideas don’t exist. There is truly no such thing as an infohazard. We, as humans, are capable of making up our own minds about things and we don’t need to give this power of censorship over to people who are not acting in good faith.

I've been convinced for a while that the religious angle against queer folk is just a front.

Instead of honest religious conviction, I think the pearl clutching is the manifestation of the collective paranoia of weak men who are terrified that other men are looking at them the same way they look at women.

> If the school curriculum aligned with their belief system, they won't be talking about a need for control

No they wouldn’t. They don’t want anyone accessing materials they disagree with. Having such materials available on the internet feels like a threat to themselves and their children. They don’t care about collateral damage, they just want more control.

If they had control of the school they wouldn't be talking about needing control of the school?

Well, they would be talking about maintaining control. Control requires constant vigilance to reinforce compliance coupled with making sure there is no disobedience. The latter speaks to "needing control."

Does this make any sense or am I full of hot air?

Just yield and do as they say, and they’ll maybe spare you.

One minute after you made that statement, the Israeli propaganda brigade seems to have discovered this post and seems fully dedicated to proving your claims

The density of prime numbers remains remarkably consistent as you increase the grid size. Even the end of a 10,000 x 10,000 grid had just as many primes per inch as the earlier numbers

Yes, that's why the people behind the United whistle blower "suicide" or the Epstein "suicide" we promptly brought to justice /s

Our law enforcement is "better" when it comes to enforcing the law against the lower 99%. When it comes to enforcing it against the kind of people who're actually likely to kill to protect their secrets...good luck

I would expect things like this were far more prevalent in previous times. Like, comically so.

Again, we should continue to push for better things. But don't ignore how much better we are from where we were.

1600 of these had already been uploaded back in 2018.

All our AIs are already trained on these

Very confused by this. Seems like they uploaded the books in 2018? What changed between then and now?

Edit: The number of uploads was 1600 back in 2018 https://web.archive.org/web/20240615044608/https://www.openc...
