You could also take a look at PostGIS to do geospatial queries (if needed). And in the past I’ve used node-mapnik to render vector/image map tiles. You can indeed host and cache them effectively on S3.

Would be great to see a comparison to some better known alternatives like
- Dokku [0]
- CapRover [1]
It seems similar to https://swarmlet.dev as well (I’m the author). I’ve since abandoned the project for different reasons. Currently I’m using Dokku, and have been using it for ~8 years. It’s a lovely project and pretty mature. I would recommend Dokku to anyone who wants to do (cheap) self-hosting!

I wish this was an episode in the ‘Rome’ (HBO - 2005) series. It’s a great watch nonetheless.
Brave browser works quite well to block YouTube ads, I’ve used it for a couple of years now and it blocks ads from most sites pretty good.
woudsma commented on How a four-day workweek works, from the companies pulling it off wsj.com/lifestyle/careers... · Posted by u/lxm
I am a firm believer that I would get more work done with a 4-day workweek than I currently do with my 5-day workweek. I already spend an embarrassing amount of time slacking off daily, it's not like I'm pressed for time to get stuff done in the office. I could easily meet my weekly objectives in 32 hours rather than 40, and having 3-day weekends every weekend I think would be incredible for my mental health and mood. And when I'm in a better mood, I get more work done!
One thing I feel like a lot of people don't realize is just how big a difference it is to go from a 5-day week to a 4-day week. Sure, it's "just one day" but when you think about the ratio between time-on and time-off, the shift becomes a lot more dramatic. 5-on, 2-off means you spend over twice as many days working as not working. 4-on, 3-off means you spend a nearly equal number of days on each. It's just one day of difference, but it feels like a major, major shift.
I feel the same. If I work 5 days I'd feel like I'm wasting so much time, when realistically I can do the same amount of work in 4 days. I'm working as a developer so it's also about retaining my attention span. I just can't do it for 5 days straight anymore.
My perfect 4-day workweek is having the Wednesday off so I have a 'mini-weekend' in my week. I only ever have to work 1 more day until I have some time to clear my head, make some music, etc. It feels like a more healthy work/life balance. And I feel sharper after a day off.
At my previous job I worked on a digital campaign protesting the repeal of Net Neutrality[0].
It was a nice technical challenge to save (and render) those millions of leaflets. More about the project here[1]
woudsma commented on Ask HN: Why do functional programmers hate loops (for, while, etc.)? · Posted by u/newsoul
In JS, functions like filter/map/reduce can help when you try to write immutable code because you only work with the arguments, and return an output value. You don't have to define an empty/temporary array first, and fill it up in your regular for-loop for example.
I don't 'hate' loops, I still use them sometimes. Personally I just try to avoid them (in JS) because I feel like I can solve my problem without any side-effects. It's something less to think about. It's nice when the logic/variables for a function are encapsulated entirely inside that function. It also makes it easy to extract functions so you can re-use them elsewhere.
