I ended up working for 2 years before I went to school, and it made a lot of things easier. When I graduated I was very certain that I wanted to go back to industry rather than go to academia. Definitely different jobs and skillsets.

By the way, you've left the notiz.dev LICENSE file in your server code, probably you want to remove that. https://github.com/tegonhq/tegon/blob/158b54af8d6f7cf4195c61... Separately, there seems to be a t

Extremely anodyne — given that the author has maintained FreeDOS for longer than I've been alive, I was hoping for slightly more interesting ideas than "have a website and be nice to people." Not that I disagree with his advi

Looks totally fine at first glance. I'm happily using https://github.com/gorilla/sessions to handle cookies right now — OP, is there any reason I should want to switch to your library instead?

Makes sense, thanks for answering. Aside — the architecture diagrams on https://xeiaso.net/blog/xesite-v4/ are not displaying in-browser for me, but do transfer correctly and are viewable on my computer. Maybe ano

Maybe I missed it, but why are you embedding a zipfile of gzip streams rather than just embedding the static site's files with an `embed.FS` and serving from that?

I think a lot of new entrants to previously-well-explored spaces tend to label themselves as "modern" in order to signify that there is something new about their approach. For instance, I have a migrations library that I descibre

Maybe. Frankly this is a very impressive outcome that is attributable both to the Father's business and management practices, as well as the Son's business and management practices. No matter how good you are at running a web busi

Enforce squash merging to main and move on with your life. Linear history on main, individual contributors can rebase and merge or format-patch or do whatever they want on their PR branches and it doesn’t matter. There are zero downsides to

One more thing you could do is put the real name of any human being with any track record of professionalism, anywhere on the website. Currently you're: - commenting under a pseudonymous profile - asking for emails by saying "plea

Shoot, this is a good reminder that I need to update my zine's mailing list. I'll be switching to Buttondown, definitely the spiritual successor!

Has anyone here used this, or anything similar? This sounds phenomenal if it really works. Looks like “contact us” is the only way to try it or buy it right now, and the purported benefit (memorize facts up to the model training size, basic

I have immense respect for the OP for writing up the story, and even more so for giving this preface. It's really useful to know what mistakes other people make, but can be quite embarrassing to tell others about mistakes you've m

Not sure I fully understand Pigweed — is it basically an open-source reimplimentation of Google's developer experience for doing firmware development? https://pigweed.dev/docs/overview.html (If you're reading

I agree. Thankfully, you don’t have to take them and you don’t have to give them!

No — most constraint checks are by default deferred until the end of the transaction, but you'd still need to check them, and without an index you'll still have to do a large scan. See https://www.postgresql.org/do

If you're using Go, sqlboiler can do this for you in most common cases (e.g., fetch all the Users matching this filter, and for each User, fetch the related Company) https://github.com/volatiletech/sqlboiler

Fair enough, congratulations on your launch and I hope you see continued success!

This is a Show HN, so I replied with my feedback. The author explicitly invited this, too, by writing: > Would love to hear what you think about it!

I hear that, but this is fetching data from the Github graphql API the same way that the website does, so if you're getting slow responses from their servers this won't be any faster.

Looks cool. A few thoughts: - Why? Strongly suggest updating the README to explain why this is useful, or what kind of workflow makes this useful. Just a list of features isn't that compelling to me because I'm not sure I want it.

Yeah this is what I do to. The OP's approach is interesting but I think that using typescript/javascript/whatever to build your app, then "render" using a build step (like `vite build` or whatever) and embedding the
