It's easy to have that view when giving away something not that many people are interested in. Once you're a platform full of media, entertainment and social connection you have to find a way to keep serving billions of users.

The VPS costs a few dollars and is holding up just fine against roughly 11k proxied requests per minute. 0.19% CPU and 148mb MEM usage.

A RasPi would be an upgrade!

Also, Nonograph doesn't store or serve any media, just html and markdown.

No shoutout to P.G. Wodehouse for the IP?

Yeah, what is the recognition of Jeeves/Wooster among the millennials?

As a millennial, the TV show with Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry was played when I was a kid, and I've rewatched it several times as an adult and read a few of the books. Our kids have watched the show with us too. I'm currently trying to learn the theme on the piano.

I'm sure it'll continue in some niche, much like Agatha Christie, where I've seen some recent youtube vids by younger people discovering how well they're written. I like it when they say "follows the old trope of ..." and then in the comments you get "doesn't follow it, invented it".

There are a few YouTube "can I solve [story] before the reveal?" style videos focusing on Agatha Christie novels ranging from around 4 years old to today.

It's a very formulaic series, but it is fun. Possibly the best thing Stephen Fry ever did.

I was in 4th grade in 2003 when I learned search engines existed (and I have a possibly tainted memory of our Computer Arts teacher in grade school explaining web crawlers and PageRank to us). We had a Gateway PC at home and AOL, but we weren't allowed to use anything networked (I only played Civ III).

But we were essentially taught to use multiple search engines, but that was AskJeeves, Yahoo!, and Google. We liked AskJeeves because of the whimsy. Yahoo! felt too adult and Google felt too much like adults pretending to be kids.

I know what a Jeeves-style character is supposed to be like, but I couldn't tell you the origin, and I'd never heard of Wooster before just now.

Open the question further, I know the time before google but know ask.com only from the infamous toolbar.

Really looking forward to a how it works post. What is that READMEM_1??

it's a placeholder that gets replaces by the python script on build

For what it's worth Firefox has a bug open to implement some of the core CSS features being used here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1950366

I don't know D so I'm probably missing some basic syntax. If pointers cannot be copied how do you have multiple objects referencing the same shared object?

> If pointers cannot be copied

They can.

It's like how talking about the "hockey stick curve" in an exponential growth line is nonsensical. It's everywhere and the curve angles you see depend entirely on what scale you view it from.

I remember learning about this gotcha around the time that Go was coming out. I was very disappointed that they were sticking to this behaviour around the same time that JavaScript was fixing it. As a new language they get less sympathy from me.

It does feel like Go is relearning lessons of other languages quite often. It's good that this and generics could be fixed later on, but it's unfortunate that they couldn't fix the null pointers (and going further always defaulting to some default value) and error handling.

A common sentiment when Go was unveiled was that its designers had ignored the 35-odd years of language research and experience since C.
