  3. Ask HN: Should I switch away from SQLite if I only use JSON fields?

    I noticed that in 2024 I completely stopped using database tables with more than one column. Everything just goes into one single JSON column, which I always call "data". So to query all entries from the table "cars", I…

  4. Ask HN: Why did Google fuck up Analytics with GA4?

    I have yet to find a single person who is not appalled by the new Google Analytics interface. Not only that, they also offer no way to import your old data into GA4. Not only that, the API is also gone. All software you…

  5. Ask HN: How can we help the Reddit mods?

  8. Ask HN: Smartwatch Without Cloud Stuff?

    I have been burned twice now by trying to use a smartwatch only to figure out that it does not show me even the most basic data on screen (like steps taken yesterday) and instead wants me to install an app on my phone…

  11. Ask HN: Easiest way to implement payments on my website?

    The website I am working on right now is completely static, except for one page that does some serverside work. What is an easy way to turn that page into a paid service? Something like this would be perfect: <?php…

  12. Ask HN: What progress has been made in self-driving tech over the last year?

    I sometimes watch self-driving videos on YouTube. And have a quite good grasp on what the current situation is. However, it's difficult to gauge the progress of self-driving technology because most videos on YouTube…

  15. Ask HN: Is This Typical Procrastination?

    Too much of my day looks like this: I sit down in front of the computer to do some work. I think: "Before I begin, let's check HN real quick if there is something interesting on the frontpage. Probably there is not, so…

  16. Ask HN: If GDPR is enforced, could we just cut the transatlantic cables?

    Looks like the GDPR implies that no tcp packets are allowed to travel to the US, even if the user gives their consent. That's how I read the recent rulings that using fonts, CDNs, analytics from US companies is illegal…

  22. Ask HN: Is there a description of the file layout HN uses to store data?

    As far as I know, HN uses no DB and just writes all data to plain text files. Does this still hold true? Is there a description of the layout somewhere? I wonder if it is just one file per comment and the name is the…

  23. Ask HN: I have tens of thousands of subscribers – how do I send a newsletter?

    A few months ago, I put a "Sign up for my newsletter" form on my website. When someone entered their email, I simply stored the mail, sent a "Thanks for signing up" email via PHP's built-in mailer and did nothing else.…
