Nice, I was looking for something like this.
I tried it on Ubuntu but after clicking Capture requests > Launch Chrome, nothing happens.

It seems very nice, I tried japanese because I'm studying it, but it got difficult too quickly. In particular japanese needs furigana absolutely (the hiragana over kanji) or romaji (options to be activated/deactivated).

Crazy nosense change. $100 is damn high and 10K tweets a month is damn low. Even if you were willing to pay, the amount of tweets is so low that it's in fact totally useless.
davide_v commented on Ask HN: What would be your stack if you are building an MVP today? · Posted by u/nvln
It depends on the MVP, but I'd (still?) use the MEAN stack with the latest Angular and Node. Expecially because I made a boilerplate [1] that allows me to start any project faster.

Out of curiosity and for the sake of completeness, by failure, you're probably talking about an error that the script itself can detect? What about a scenario where the EC2 goes down (silently)?
Yes I mean failure of the cron script itself.
If the EC2 goes down entirely there are other alerts you can set up on AWS, such as Cloudwatch or similar.
davide_v commented on Ask HN: What is the cheapest, easiest way to host a cronjob in 2022? · Posted by u/heywhatupboys
I'm still using the old way: "crontab -e" inside the same EC2 where I run the app. In case of failure I automatically send an email to me.
This is the easiest scenario in case you already have an EC2 for some other things that is already running.
Instead, from scratch (no EC2), I'd probably use Lambda.

Thank you for this, I always struggled to find an up to date list of UA.
If you don't mind, I made a simple Node.js wrapper of this API and released as a NPM package, you can find it here: https://github.com/DavideViolante/useragents-me-api/
I thought I was a very tidy person, then I saw this.

That's smart move imho. Usually engineers and other people that worked at Twitter went through a very strict hiring process. So hiring them is equal (usually) to hiring very skilled and smart people.
In Italy a famous news website is using blockchain since 2020 to, I quote literally: "help readers check source of news", "strengthen bonds of trust between its organization and its readers and customers", "trace the history and source of each news item."

The first time I saw it I was quite surprised. I'd like to hear opinions about it here. Eg: it's blockchain stricly necessary here?
