Wow the speed is truly awesome - 125ms for the main page and 169ms for the search.

There's a distinct lack of Javascript, few (no?) images, and the CSS seems very light. That'll get you a long way right there.

[EDIT] for a similar "oh, I forgot the web could be this fast when we don't pile a ton of shit on top of it" experience, try Basic HTML gmail some time. Its full-page loads are (most of the time) much faster than AJAXy Gmail or Inbox. See also: craigslist.

I wonder what's the backend of this app. BuiltWith doesn't detect much.

Edit - I really like the simplicity of search box (no JS):

    <form class="search" action="/search" method="get">
         <input name="query" placeholder="Search" type="search" required>
         <button type="submit"><svg> ..search icon.. </svg></button>
    </form>

Flask for web framework, Elasticsearch for search. The speed might be due to the fact that there is no JS / images on the front end.

Just had a conversation last night about SQLAlchemy support of NoSQL dialects like. I bet you didn't use a Model layer. Right? Is there anything you want to share in that regards?

Seriously. It was so fast I was convinced it was precaching results as you type but it's not. Would love to read a write-up on this.

I thought you and the other comments were exaggerating, but you're actually not. This feels impossibly fast from a user perspective. I'd love to see a write-up of this as well.

How does https://whosmentoring.com compare? Albeit hosted in SG so may have more latency.

Never mind. The site loads now. I was a bit confused about the site. As in what kind of mentoring are the listed people providing. The HN link at the bottom helped getting a better picture: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15148619

Sorry I haven't enabled s yet.

Is it an alternative to Docker Compose in some sense?

I believed over-engineering IS the point of personal side-projects.

I'm in the opposite camp - personal side-projects are where you can safely implement the MVP and/or ruthlessly chop things/ideas that never* get used without people harassing you about bells and whistles.

Along with with Value Types [1] Java 10 could be an even more significant improvement than Java 8 was :)

Replacing 'e' with similar symbols like '3' is also not allowed. That's the point :)

It's not actually said that "3" should swap with it - it's a substitution for that symbol.

It's a proposal to post normally but to omit any symbols that don't fit by just not typing anything.

It would be a big problem to support such a library. It's enough to have a Maven library to simplify the integration, though I'm not sure if it's available now. Or you can build a jar and use it - that's how you manage integrations in Java :)

There's already one, actually just appeared :) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuralink

He asked if there was an interface, not a startup that claims to be developing such an interface.

Yeah true, I've read several while writing this comment.
