• Ask HN: If you are starting in 2024, what is the most productive solo dev stack?

  Without becoming a software engineer? None. Work for 1 hour a month in the developed world to make enough money to pay for, say, a month on https://wpengine.com/, and get to working on the actual website, not its infra. Even Python will take someone starting from zero anywhere between 10-100 hours to fully grok. A phenomenal time investment if you have any professional interest at all in computers, but if... - Source: Hacker News / 14 days ago

• Website Hosting Advice

  For hosting, if you want reliability over everything else, WP Enginge is probably your best bet. It's on the pricier side, though. I didn't use any other hosting besides local German companies yet, so I cannot recommend anything else. Source: about 1 year ago

• Public html folder removed without any trace, how?

  Transfer is super easy... wpengine.com is my favorite for WP sites. They handle backups and have security options and can handle plugin updates. Source: about 1 year ago

• Migrating a WordPress website to a better hosting service

  Go for a managed wordpress host. VPS is fine, but not any old host- find someone that does wordpress hosting and does it well, and has higher up tiers that will give you white glove service. Something like https://wpengine.com/. Source: about 1 year ago

• Lua: The Little Language That Could

  There's also the http://prosody.im/ XMPP server that's written in Lua, and it's very successful there. The other major XMPP server implementation is in Erlang and they are equally praised, so that should tell something about Lua's versatility. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Lua: The Little Language That Could

  Lua on its own right can be fun too! If you are looking for a project to contribute to, there's for instance the Prosody XMPP server that's written in it, and contributes to the betterment of internet by promoting federated protocols. Source: about 1 year ago

• A History of Lua

  You can write largish standalone application in Lua and it is not always a poor choice - Prosody [1] first comes to mind. But qualities which make it a good embedded language make it less _attractive_ for other uses. Lua has very simple syntax and small stdlib which allows its implementation to be very small - you can add Lua to your application and not increase its size significantly. But when the size is not a... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Chat app to allow messaging between my daughter and I?

  If you are really set on a LAN-only setup you could look at Prosody (combined with an Android app such as Conversations) which Snikket is based upon. It's not as "ready to go, out of the box" as Snikket and therefore requires a slightly higher skill level, but in exchange it is a lot more customizable and adaptable to different kinds of deployment scenarios.

• Ask HN: What is your recommended stack for real time chat?

  My choice, because it's the stack I know very well, would be Prosody ( https://prosody.im/ - I'm one of the devs) and a web client such as Converse.js ( https://conversejs.org/ ). XMPP is highly extensible, Prosody is highly modular, which make them a good foundation for building on top of. That said, the right stack is generally the one that matches your requirements, and (if this isn't primarily a learning... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago
