I wonder how hard it would be to use AI to generatively interpolate the images so it could be a video stream.

I'm working on an app to address this issue. While putting a cost calculation is a good way to raise awareness, we take a different approach to a solution. It's called Meet Robbie ( https://meetrobbie.com ) and we give y

Thanks! This has potential. I'll play around with this when I have some time.

Thank you! That's a good idea. I have fields for user_id and organization_id that I omitted. What would you rename type to? Now here's what I'm thinking id: uuid | name: string (ex 'Google', 'Microsoft') |

Ask HN: Is this a good table schema for handling third party integrations?

say --rate=500 "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers. A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked. If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers, Where’s the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?"

Yes I started using this in the past year. It dramatically sped up my watch/test cycle on mac. It seems like something that shouldn't be necessary on Mac with docker so I hope they just make it a standard docker feature.

I don't really find these considerations frustrating just a bit tricky but regardless definitely agree with GDPR and on board with keeping PII secure from the get go. I'm still having a little trouble grokking when an ID becomes e

Mainly portability of data and options for the future. I'm all on one postgres instance right now and don't plan on breaking it up until necessary. If at some point I need to take a table and move it to another type of database I

I'm really not sure what google is thinking with this one. It's not the biggest money maker but google domains is viable and a really easy to use product. Wondering what other core web services google may sell off.

I'm not so much concerned with figuring out scaling in terms of volume as I expect to be able to handle millions of rows in a single DB and that would be an implementation detail and fine tuning. I'm more concerned about scaling i

I'm simplifying a bit for brevity and we can do some abstraction to handle it so it's not that the framework is simplistic. I'm just having trouble justifying adding this complexity with two types of IDs.

This was generally the reason I went with numeric ID as PK originally. It makes working with and analyzing the data as well as cross referencing relations easier. For all my tables I have a base schema that looks something like this. id: in

I think you raise some good questions around IDs and PII and we definitely will be tackling GDPR sooner or later. I don't quite follow on the European regulation issues raised by using as a UUID in a route and that being the PK of the

Probably when there is some downtime or as the opportunity presents. I would use a date field to do ordering or a sequenced field when needed.

I actually have been using a combination of a numeric integer ID as the PK and a UUID as a lookup field to do routing lookups etc. for this purpose in Postgres backed app I'm working on. I found this approach to be more trouble than it

Is there a reason web scrapers aren't used for public sites with content? It seems like this would avoid the pitfalls of APIs and changing terms and prices?

It seems this is a case of poor decision and communication management rather than a machiavellian plot, however, it's no less harmful or toxic in the outcome. I'm actually working on an app for organizations to make clear, fair, a

Same thoughts here. I think it's great that people can make extensions and apps for new and varied experiences, but the current HN is dang near perfect IMHO. Simple, intuitive, fast, does what you expect it to do. Nothing less nothing

It's natural to take criticism of your work personally so I think the first thing is to accept the initial emotional reaction as "ok" and not something to beat yourself up about. The next step is to tame your emotional respon

by babbledabbler 3y ago
Good point. "communication" should also be on the list. I don't think storage is technically the tradeoff in this case even though it's S3. It's the traffic between those components that's costing them.

by babbledabbler 3y ago
Breaking things into tiny functions and putting them on many different servers incurs tradeoff costs in both complexity and compute. There is a complexity cost in having to deal with the setup, security, and orchestration of those functions

This is what I was told by startup mentors and have come to appreciate as well in my experience. I would also add that while there is some small risk of someone least copying your idea, it's not necessarily a bad thing. If someone else

Somebody should make an AI service that automatically files appeals. I suspect that the cost of the appeals process would negate the savings they make from auto-denying claims.

I would checkout Vue. It's much more user friendly IMHO.

This is something I wish was more widely discussed. Abstract principles are only templates for how to act, not prescriptive rules on what to do. Much like a craftsman uses various stencils and measures to guide their craft, it's not si

This is a common pitfall for software engineers and one that is easy to fall into especially if you haven't gone through it before. Dysfunctional technical systems are symptoms of dysfunctional political systems. If the political syste
