A bit disappointing that this sends audio recordings to a server. Even if it's not the intention, that leaves so much possibility for abuse. Why not use a Pixel phone with on-device song matching? It also keeps history on device. Getti

Oh, that's really interesting. I still use Node for everything and haven't really given Deno a shot, but I'm someone who prefers to stay away from bleeding edge things until they become battle-tested. But with recent NodeJS c

Love that this is local. I've messed around trying to get Node on Jupyter with custom kernels, but never got close to a working setup with TypeScript. Two features would be huge: 1. Web cells for intermixing UI components alongside Nod

There was a post a TechCrunch article posted here a couple of months ago referring to the Panasonic Professor of Robotics Emeritus at MIT. This probably happens in other fields too, but every time I've seen one of these brand-deal titl

You've put into words how I've always felt about this as well.

Are the MacOS runners cheaper than Github? Unless things changed, I seem to remember that you get billed for a minimum of a 24 hour period per instance even if you only have a MacOS instance active for 30 minutes.

I'm referring to the opposite side of the problem. Even if you use Okta, if you want to integrate with company XYZ using SSO, no amount of Okta spend will save you.

These days, I feel like this biggest obstacle with SAML is integrating with SaaS products. I've been in many situations where it requires back and forth emails to a support team. I've been handed a literal 204 page PDF on integrat

Other languages may handle it differently, but having to manage threads is not a small compromise for going colorless. You're now forced to deal with thread creation, thread pooling, complexities of nested threads, crashes within child

The stocks come as RSUs of publicly traded shares for FAANG+. That's a lot more cash-like than the monopoly money of most startup options.

But thinking of those trucks primarily as a liability is exactly the kind of mindset that leads to companies minimizing their liabilities instead of maximizing their potential.

Maybe this makes sense for the shareholders, but it feels like such a Day Two thing to do. The fact that AWS doesn't just shut down services is part of what made it so appealing compared to things like GCP. The story about how SimpleDB

Could you share details on limits to be mindful of when designing workflows? Some things I'd love to be able to reference at a glance: 1. Max execution duration of a workflow 2. Max input/output payload size in bytes for a service

That's exciting! Out of curiosity, have you explored the possibility of a serverless orchestration layer? That's one of the most appealing parts of Step Functions. We have many large workflows that run just a couple times a day an

I still haven't gotten around to adopting Restate yet, but it's on the radar. One thing that Step Functions probably has over Restate is the diagram visualization of your state machine definition and execution history. It's b

Again and again we see that LLMs are great for creative output and terrible for anything where correctness matters. You should only use it for the latter scenarios when generating answers is slow/hard/expensive, but verification o

The architecture mostly is just putting things in S3 and serving them on a CDN. The diagram just goes into detail because little things like permissions and response header settings exist as separate but related "Policy" resources

I don't think it's okay having to have relied on internal escalation either. The problem is that critical dependencies like payment processing and platform distribution can just destroy you at the whim of a false-positive flagging

The bribery angle is where it appears questionable to me. And I'm not at all happy with needing to rely on contacts. These companies should not be able to get away with potentially destroying other businesses or adversely impacting peo

FWIW, having friends at Google and Stripe has been critical for my startup to survive potentially extinction-level disasters. Automated systems false-positive flagging us and shutting down our payment processing with no recourse happened on

It's an issue of servers, not JS. A BackboneJS app written in CoffeeScript back in 2010 would still run just fine today if it was hosted on S3/CloudFront. Replace the framework/language/year with anything, and it'd

I think this is a good direction for Remix and makes me more inclined to start using it in the future. There'll no doubt be some people left confused by the branding changes, but in the long run, it's probably a good move. I used

This is the kind of pro tip I love seeing on HN. It's a shame that the tech field moves so fast and info gets outdated constantly, but at least for now, this helps.

Sure, it's different in other countries. But as a dark skinned person in America, this is not unreasonable, but pragmatic. Reporting to an archaeology organization is not at all the same thing as reporting to police.

Putting the lives of your family and yourself at risk by involving police would be incredibly irresponsible.

Even if backups/history were taking up zero space, $1.50/GB seems really high for raw storage. The rest of the pricing seems reasonable to me. We're only around 100GB right now, but can see that ballooning up in the future an

Storage is the most surprisingly expensive part now. $1.50/GB is kind of a tough pill to swallow. We've been exploring the idea of shifting from Aurora to Neon. With the recent pricing changes, our bill has exploded even with almo

It's not manual. This is a case of mistaken journalism. The labeling is for training data of the models. Before covid, the hours were much better too.

This is pretty sad to read. Before Covid, the Amazon Go store experience was phenomenal. All the convenience of a 7-Eleven but with the pricing of a normal grocery store. The food options were really good and the BlueApron style meal-kits w
