After resisting for years buying a coffee machine, I finally got one. At work I'm drinking 2-3 a day but staying at home all the time seems to make me drink more. How much do you drink? What's your normal intake?

Ask HN: Optimal cloud service to run tiny website with back end Python + SQLite?
23 by djoldman | 19 comments on Hacker News.
Web ninjas: What is your go-to cloud service for running a small website served with python + jinja2 + sqlite? The website does little besides searching an sqlite table, serving a form, and writing the form response to an sqlite table, all with minimal computation and bandwidth. Wants are: Low price Low maintenance time/cost Simplicity My strengths do not include web development/servers but I know the basics. I'm particularly interested in the gotchas like: difficulties setting up SSL, transfer limits, and "X is perfect except that ____". If I'm asking the wrong question or not providing enough info, please say so.

Apple Developer Account Blocked without reason – can somebody help?
15 by matwiemann | 2 comments on Hacker News.
Does anybody else have the same problem? I have been working on an App for months now but now I wanted to submit it to the App store, but I cannot create Apple Developer Account (Enrollment) because my Account is somehow blocked. My Issue at Apple (Case Number: 101043480563) has been open since March 11th, but no progress has been made. I was inquiring almost weekly, but the very friendly senior Advisor is also waiting for an internal team to give her feedback. No progress for almost 2 months. Been working hard to get this App online. All the infrastructure (backend etc.) is in place, but now it is all falling apart because of this. My App will greatly improve knowledge sharing in an entertaining way and will be really helpful in the current times. If anybody with contacts to Apple can help, it would be really appreciated.

I already know that if I have to inquire about the price or ask for a login that the service is going to be some antiquated 90's bs. But occasionally I experience this for something I didn't expect, like cloud computing. I encountered a cloud service that had obscure hardware I was looking for, and unlike Amazon, Google, Azure, DigitalOcean etc this service needed for you to email them to get signed up! "Thank you for your interest! Where are you located and what does your work involve?" Okay "Sales Engineers", why is that relevant. Why is a human even answering this email? "I'm experimenting with deployments but latency isn't a big issue for me so any data center will be fine". You know, like you would say with Amazon, except in a dropdown. I jump through the hoops. Finally, I get to see what the interface is like, I'm poking around with no surprise that graphic design is an afterthought when suddenly You've got mail! My email client doesn't say that but his probably does. "I wanted to do a quick check-in and.." Aw that's nice and I also would have been totally fine contacting support whenever I got around to it! I checked out the interface, got my fill, decided it wasn't for me and moved on! All in all in one week it took: 10 emails to get signed up 1 email to tell me that "the system" should send me an email about my new account login 2 emails to get the account login and confirmation 4 emails to troubleshoot the broken account login system 1 automated onboarding email 3 checkin emails 1 automated 1 week anniversary onboarding email What's the way to tell people I want a self serve option? Reducing this email chain down to 3 emails. Why is that person employed? This was during the best market in the history of mankind and I was questioning that, and now everyone with a talent more relevant than customer "retention" should be just as annoyed, given how coveted a continual flow of oxygen is now. xx

I feel absolutely shit when I am trying to be relevant by spamming the trending tags, repeating what is already there in the form of SEO spam, email spamming, asking people to subscribe to thing they probably don't even care about. How do you handle this? Trying to keep track of what's trending tires me out. Why is it always hate, hate and hate. Why is it always politics or some celebrity expressing their "concerns" or cute puppies.

I have realized that I easily give up when I face a hard problem. This is hurting my career prospects. I have been thinking and it may have become an issue because I grew up in a high pressure environment, where a lot is expected from you. How do I change myself ? I have observed that a lot of times I have a vague idea of a problem I am trying to solve but I don't put in the effort to nail it down. This affects my confidence and I don't want to lead whenever I get an opportunity. How do I get out of this habit ?

A developer/sysadmin friend of mine has been job hunting for a while now. He told me that he doesn't want to work his entire life away and as such he's only looking for part-time work, but that it has been impossible to find something. Why are all companies only using full-time employment? Why are there so little flexibility? It's like everyone is "brain washed" into this robot way of working eight hours a day. I must admit, I'm only really productive the first 4 hours, after that I just want to go home!

Ask HN: Are there any substantial examples of blockchain solving a real problem?
38 by louwrentius | 33 comments on Hacker News.
There are many startups and companies involved in blockchain technology. I’m wondering what kind of ‘significant’ problems they solve and by this is not possible with regular technology. I have a strong sense that blockchain technology is a solution that has yet to find a relevant problem to solve. I think the same is true for cryptocurrencies but I would like to keep those out of the discussion, if possible.

What is the best way to learn Lisp in 2020?
4 by pmohun | 2 comments on Hacker News.
I've been eyeing Lisp out of the corner of my eye for years. I know I should learn it and it will likely change the way I think about programming. What is the best way to learn Lisp in 2020? I tend to learn best when I have a project to work on that plays to the strength of the language. Some questions: - Should I start with Common Lisp, or some popular dialect (Clojure?) - What are the big patterns that I should be aware of? What is easier to do Lisp than is missing from functional languages like Python? - What are some big projects built in Lisp (other than this site)? - If it's so good, why isn't it more popular?
