For other HN'ers out there who have personal projects on Heroku and might've forgotten (like I did), this weekend is the last chance to get data out of Heroku (or upgrade to paid plans) before it deletes databases/Redis and shuts down free dynos on Monday. > What products are impacted by the removal of free plans? > > `free` dynos, `hobby-dev` Heroku Postgres, and `hobby-dev` Heroku Data for Redis plans. > > What happens if I take no action on my free apps or databases or do not upgrade to a paid plan? > > If you take no action by November 28, 2022: > > - `free` dynos will be converted to `eco` dynos scaled down to 0.

New top story on Hacker News: Someone bought a similar domain and copied all of the content – wdyd?

Someone bought a similar domain and copied all of the content – wdyd? 9 by matijash | 4 comments on Hacker News. Our original domain is https://wasp-lang.dev, while the fake one is https://wasp-lang.net/. They didn't change anything, even all of the URLs remained the same. Also didn't try to get in touch with us, we discovered it by accident. I'm not sure what is their motivation (sell us domain at a premium?), but doesn't sound benign. What can we even do in such a situation? Thanks for your advice!

Ask HN: Do you recall any book or course that made a topic finally click? 5 by curious16 | 0 comments on Hacker News. Sometimes it takes a book or a course (or explanation from a mentor) for a topic to finally click for you that you were struggling with for a long time. For me, it was Stanford's EE261 course that made Fourier Transform click for me. Here is the link: https://ift.tt/BWE4Awb Similarly for deep learning it was fast.ai courses. For programming it was How to Design Programs at www.htdp.org. Your topic of choice may be anything, not necessarily CS.

New top story on Hacker News: Ask HN: How do I start feeling secure financially as a tech worker?

Ask HN: How do I start feeling secure financially as a tech worker? 21 by metabro | 10 comments on Hacker News. The recent layoffs have heightened my my feeling of insecurity and anxiety. Company I work for had a massive layoff and it’s the first I’ve ever experienced. I wasn’t impacted but can’t shake this feeling of insecurity. I’m expecting a second kid and my wife isn’t working and I feel like I need to diversify my income but have never been entrepreneurial and don’t know where to start. I have more than a couple years worth of savings. But this is partly due to not owning a house. Where I live the downpayment would consume most of those savings. Ny wife wouldn’t be able to make high skilled wages unless she invested substantial time into upskilling which she doesn’t have at the moment. How do I shake this feeling? Is there something I should be doing to protect myself besides what I’ve already ?
