Thank you very much. The only thing I can think of while reading your comment was, "wow this is elegant." Have you consideres productize/templatize this stack and selling some kind license/supporting deal? Although a mo

Any tips on how to run a site on a 5 dollar vps? I built an MVP on a 5 dollar VPS. But I had to recently upgrade to a 12 dollar VPS as some of my analytics process were being stopped because of low memory. Aside from writing better code, I

It had a pretty good premise. But I felt like they couldn’t figure out the rest. The 3rd act felt meh to say the least. The story was perfect for a short film and not a feature film. I bet if you edit the movie down to 20-25 minutes it wil

That is interesting. I am not very educated on Sowell's views beyond his interviews on the Hover Institute YT channel. I will take a deeper look. Thank you for your recommendation.

I am a DevRel so I work on the business side of the company but my intended readers are developers. Even though I was a skeptic at first, now I am a believer in practical usage of AI. I really struggle with writing CTAs or conclusive remark

I like this post. As someone who is deeply afraid of their Raspberry Pi, this could be the silver bullet. An RPI project to me is 20% surface level solution and 80% troubleshooting. Your standard RPI forum thread to do one thing quickly spa

Really appreciate the support you have shown us. Splitgraph was the very first platform to adopt our free IP database. That means a lot. Hoping that it would be super helpful Splitgraph users. Thank you :)

Congrats on the full year booking! I label myself as a "Python Developer" and have no high-level expertise over any specific domain of programming. This experience doesn't translate well to organizational software engineering

You are totally right! I got hired because of an HN comment our founder saw. I told the story on the sister comment. Positions like this can only happen in startup level companies, where there is room for controlled chaos. Where founders ca

Get this. I got hired because of an HN comment [0]. I will write about the whole story someday. Our founder is active on HN. I was applying to customer success engineer or technical support roles. Then one day, I mentioned my customer succe

I somehow get paid to be an aimless and excited programmer. I work in developer relations for a data company. Even though my title says, "engineer", I don't do product building. I don't have any exact direction honestly.

I would really love some feedback and queries from HN. I have been in HN for a while now, and through absolute wild luck Ben hired me because, get this.... he liked a comment I made on HN. But that is another story.... I am the first DevRel

You probably don't need the Pico. You can use luamacros or HIDMacros to remap the keys of the secondary keyboard. I used to have an emoji + response template keyboard when I was doing social media management. I used HIDMacros[0] and Es

Oh no, only while learning. It all boil downs to that step 0, makes sure you have that "docker compatible" device. People are successfully running GPU processes using docker. However, docker is not "run everything, everywhere

Step 0: Start with a device that "fully" supports docker. This is the reason I gave up on learning docker properly. I had 3 devices at my disposal - M1 mac, a windows 10 pc and a rpi. The random errors I was getting made me quite

Thank you. It is good to have these conversations. I appreciate you for taking a look. You are right, organizations should not conflate IP with identity on an absolute scale. We are very open about the fact that, with IP geolocation, absolu

cron-jobs.org is pretty good. I built a cron job utility service with Pipedream workflows because I needed some additional features like sending email report and hooking up to a cronjob monitor like cronitor or healthchecks.
