Hey HN, Many product and data teams have to deal with broken pipelines because analytics events get changed in the tracking code. We built an open source tool to solve this problem. It infers the event schema and monitors changes to it on e

Yeah, the input processing part is missing but it is fairly trivial. It got most of the other stuff right.

This new model is way better at code generation after testing it on today's Advent of Code problem. I couldn't get Codex to generate a correct solution for part 2 whereas ChatGPT created a correct-looking solution for both parts!

This looks very cool. At-least once semantics are the way to go because most tasks require idempotence anyway and that helps in dealing with multiple delivery. Strict FIFO ordering is not always needed either as long as you avoid starvation

You can't file for an i-485 if your date is not current which is the case for folks from India/China. So there is no true portability.

I personally enjoyed learning more about the different languages that were used at each level. Granted I'd be meaning to try out node/scala/go in a more meaningful manner and the ctf problems were the perfect setting. The dow

In interviews and in general, it usually is a good idea to get a correct yet inefficient solution and then try to optimize it. This usually yields better insights in my experience. Here is a quadratic solution: https://gist.githu

I suffer from visual snow and also have floaters. You learn to ignore the static after a while but it is always there if you focus - looking at plain surfaces (e.g. blue sky) makes it very obvious. And as you said, it drastically affects my

You do get extra tax deductions as an international student if your country has a treaty with the U.S. Which countries are completely exempt? AC-21 portability doesn't come into play until you are almost at the end of the green card process

Why can't they apply similar interpretation to legalize re-importation of drugs? The arguments there are similar ( "drugs are expensive in US to subsidize foreign markets"). This is also another blow to the academic publishing racket. In re
