We built this initially only to turn the database into API, after ask to users, we found that some people need more than just accessing the database. For example, they want to send notifications to Slack/Telegram when an event happens in the database, or they need to upload a file to the cloud storage, then put the information to their database. That's why we put another service, although they also have an API.
Our goal is to make their needs covered in a single platform. Currently, we are working on the "API Workflow" to simplify the process above, so they don't need to write multiple API request in their app.

what happens when we hit rate limit on the upstream service?
We will just return the response from the upstream service? And user will get rate limit error. We plan to cache the API calls (can be configured by user) to avoid making repetitive API calls to the upstream.

Anyway, Thank you. We value and respect your opinion. It means a lot for us to make the project even more valuable to people.
I'll pop up and mention that Elecom makes a worthy successor to the MS Trackball; and in small and large sizes, to boot. I kill keyboards and trackballs and my elecom's have been at least as sturdy as the MS Trackballs were. Easier to clean, too.

Hey HN - At my last SaaS company, I tried all the subscription analytics platforms out there, but they each lacked some things I wanted:

1. Drill down to customer level detail for metrics (e.g. "double click" on total MRR and see the MRR for each customer)

2. Ability to inspect the data pipeline and calculations from raw data to final metric

3. Direct SQL access to the modeled data

I've been hacking on Pulse for a few months and it's now ready for beta. Pulse is:

1. Transparent - Easily drill down and see how metrics are calculated at the customer level

2. Free & Open source - It's easy to self host, but there's also a free hosted version here: https://pulse.trypaper.io/.

3. Extensible - Have some weird edge case you need to exclude? You can update your data model with a little SQL and you always have direct SQL access to your data. We're using dbt for the modeling layer and pull requests are welcomed!

4. Push first - Metrics can be pushed to Slack, Sheets, and email so you don't need to check yet another dashboard. The integrations work out of the box, so no janky Zapier workflows are needed.

Why is this free? Good question. The app relatively cheap to run and I'm using Pulse as an acquisition channel for Paper. Also, making the app FOSS gives it a better chance of becoming the standard for SaaS metrics

Just like JNI.
The dividing line between "buy" and "rent" can be as clear-cut as you like, or as much a grey-zone continuum as you like as long as it is spelled out clearly up front to the buyer.

The problem is not that there are gradations of "ownership". The problem is that Apple (and many others) conflate the terms and deliberately obfuscate exactly what your rights are when you "buy".

I'm very fine with voiding my warranty when doing modifications to the system, but all I want is to run custom software in the userspace (at least). That's how computers work and Apple wants us to consider their devices computers[0].

Some people might want to have full access to the OS, but allowing custom software in the userspace would still be a huge step and enough for most people.

p.s. It's hard to compare a computing device to a car because what's an equivalent of usespace in car? Changing oil? Changing tires? You can do it yourself, you can even change spark plugs, without voiding your warranty.

All of that applies equally well to JNI.
"bad local provider which refuse to adapt to competition (first at price/offer level before even infrastructure)"

They may find themselves unable to. Cable (including optic cable) networks are not that easy to build everywhere, including some tightly packed cities. And wireless has its limitations too.

"which part is able to afford 99$/month (+antenna) "

Easy. People will share connections, regardless of what the contract says. And Starlink will likely tolerate it in poorer countries.

When the lease runs out it reverts to the freeholder, though often after a considerable period of time. So not owned forever.
I understood Americans much better once I understood Calvinism.

The very belief that a core group of the first settlers brought to America which is that there exist not just fundamentally good and bad people, but that God would reward good people with success and money and bad people with poverty.

From which follows that rich people must have been good and poor people must have been bad.

From which follows, that good people need to be rewarded further and bad people punished more.

If you look through every single aspect of the U.S. judicial, education, legislation [,...] systems — even Hollywood movies — you will find clues that point back to this core belief.

Not judging, just noticing since someone told me "in order to understand Americans, you need to understand Calvinism".
This is based on a nonsensical idea of what ‘ownership’ allows you to do.

When you buy a phone, you definitely own all the atoms in it. You can take it apart and use the bits to make jewelry. You can take all the phones you have and assemble them into a piece of wall art. Apple has no say in what you do with the object.

But your belief that physical ownership of the object should mean you can make it do anything you want is… bounded by your actual capability to do so.

You can probably extract some of the parts of your phone and reuse them - maybe with care and patience you could figure out how to use the screen, or the battery, or the camera as part of another device. Again, not something Apple can stop you doing.

But expecting to be able to use a device to do something you want to merely because you know the potential to do so is inside is an unrealistic expectation. A cotton t-shirt might contain enough thread to be able to be woven into a pair of shorts, but you can’t complain to the manufacturer that the way they made the t-shirt makes it hard for you to turn it into shorts. They sold it to you in a useful, valuable configuration. They’re not obligated to make it easy for you to reconfigure it to your will.
This is pretty nuts and a huge distortion to pretend that women haven’t been systematically discriminated for millennia.

> "Cloud is known to not be the cheapest option at large scale"

Oh really? Ever try building, staffing, powering, cooling and equipping a data center? And then build a DR? Let me tell you, my company has foolishly done that just in the past ten years and WE are screaming uncle! We're now transitioning to AWS because it's much, much, much cheaper!

The biggest eye-opener? Not only is the physical part of the data center a super expensive ongoing expense - staff, server life cycles, power, property tax - but the software licenses (we gotta have support!) will EAT YOU ALIVE! I've transitioned many projects to AWS and was able to justify it on the ongoing licensing costs alone - never mind all the other costs related to building a data center.

I bet Pinterest did their homework and realized the $3 billion they're going to pay to AWS is cheaper than building, staffing, and running their own infrastructure. That's the conclusion we came to - after building our own data centers.

> How would you feed the world, if all these people had survived?

I'm not really sure what your point is. We shouldn't try to help those with weaker immune systems survive? How far should we take this? Should we as a society not make an effort to help the physically disabled, the old, the blind, etc. survive? Looking to the wild, basically no members of those groups survive. Is that what we should aim for?
If you live in a geologically stable place, yes.

Quite a large share of world population does not. Including rich places like Japan, which is part of the Pacific ring of fire.

Even in a former mining city where I was born, the soil shifts quite a bit, as the abandoned mine shafts underneath are filled with water and collapse. It sometimes has an effect on networks that are dug in.

Either the writer of the concept "opts-in to making the concept opt-in" (e.g. using the approach above), and that way, classes must opt in, _or_ classes opt-out by not implementing the concept API.

There is no way for a class to both implement the concept API and opt-out. The only way to support it is for the C++ concept writer to make their concept opt-in.

It’s both: the big finders definitely will embrace any culture war issue which keeps people voting for the politicians who serve their interests but they also reliably push any issue which goes against certain topics relevant to their business. Even if something isn’t their industry they’ll push it if it cuts against the legitimacy of government regulations or is critical about science (e.g. the tobacco companies’ guys like Steven Milloy were trumping up those “DDT bans mean that millions of Africans die of malaria” stories a decade or so back because they wanted to lower trust in the same public health agencies who were leading anti-smoking campaigns).
I use Logitech Trackman trackballs. Every 2 or 3 years I have to replace them, because a) the varnish on the ball wears out and it becomes stiffer to move and b) (maybe) the bearings on the inside stiffen up. They're only $25 though, and the ergonomics are excellent, so I'd need a $150 trackball to last 12 years to make it worthwhile. Of course economies of scale and all that.
I fell into this trap with our app. We have an iot app that controls 3 generations of hardware now. The first generation device is only visible via Netbios lookup, which runs afoul of this new multicast lockdown. The later 2 generations support Bonjour (mdns) lookup. Unfortunately we are still running into problems with customer routers that block or interfere with Bonjour service discovery, so we still fall back on Netbios even in current generation hardware. Luckily we have history with Apple so the approval was fairly straightforward, but I can't imagine what the process would entail for a new company/new product.
Thank you for your suggestion. We will think about it.
Go and watch Spanish indices. It's a sad history.
totally agreed, permacultures can be more or less self-sufficient in resources and energy. In contrast the widespread monocultures are hyper expensive in resources, and making the soil extremely poor and erosive. Even things like tobacco monocultures, they have a big environmental cost, not even talking about the health cost of smoking. Let's also not forget intensive animal farms use even more resource by surface. We really need to reshape the global landscape, I'm so happy when I can find a fig tree along my ride, figs have actually been 90% of my diet since 2 months, free and deliciously nutritive fruits
Cui bono?

The state of Oklahoma could have easily offered these men the option of doing volunteer work for a non-profit of their choosing while they attended periodic counseling.

Instead they chose a system with forced labor camps where prisoners are sold off to local businesses.

We can build a system to enrich the life of the incarcerated or we can enrich the capitalists. Time after time our local governments choose the latter path - does anyone know why?
I can almost guarantee this is due to licensing issues with the camera firmware. Modern cameras aren't just hardware any more. They're a mix of hardware and advanced processing algorithms that really do make a huge difference in the final output. Those algorithms are often licensed from 3rd parties with specific licensing requirements.

Sony has been reasonably good about enabling open-source and fixing these things in the past, so I'd give them the benefit of the doubt that they'll try to find a way to enable the cameras on unlocked phones in the future.
As opposed to prison?

Reading my comment again, "Scam aside...".
Mafiosi are also very church-going, aren't they. Maybe there's a pattern there somewhere...
I may be in a niche scenario. But I do welcome some sort of restriction. On a large campus network running PIM sparse with 10kish Apple devices, multicast chews up a fair amount of CPU resources on network devices.

Not sure if this is the solution tho..that's out of my realm of expertise.
Blaming Apple is absolutely absurd. Using a simple magnet to control critical medical equipment is appallingly bad engineering.

Image if a simple magnet could be used to start your car or to unlock your front door.

That a cheap keyfob has more embedded security that a piece of life-giving medical equipment is just unbelievable.

As you have said, powerful magnets have been common in private homes for 50 years.

There's no way this is Apples fault.
> As far as I understand it, it is optional for prisoners to engage with though.

I think we often use “optional” in the wrong way when we’re talking about choices we give to prisoners. When the other option is a dangerous prison it really starts to feel more coercive.

The California inmates fighting wildfires for $1.45/day also comes to mind.
That t-shirt analogy feels a little stretchy to me.

I totally agree. You get your more charismatic varieties of this same thinking. For example, the name-it-and-claim-it churches basically teach if you are God's favorite you will be blessed, and if you aren't, you just don't have enough faith.

That's not predestination, but it comes down to the same kind of thing.

In general, I think all forms of justice in the west are based on free will being true. If some form of determinism is true, then "punishment" doesn't make sense.

Sigh... I'm the mentor in this scenario. People see what I do with emacs and they often want to start using it themselves. But I learnt emacs when I was young and in university. I barely slept and my life was primarily learning software. I learnt Lisp just for fun. I don't have the time to teach it to you, if that's even possible. You have to put in the time, like I did. And if you were prepared to do that then you would have already done it.

Not a biologist, but I'm following related research and at this point am fairly convinced that aging is an intentional, pre-programmed process, as opposed to the popular understanding that it's the consequence of wear and tear.

Let's just think logically about it for a bit. Your cells come with all kinds of repair machinery and redundant DNA encoding. All cells do. But there are single-celled creatures that don't age and reproduce by cell division, and they haven't lost their function despite billions of years and millions of generations. Same for humans and whoever else reproduces sexually — there's A LOT that needs to go just right for a new human to be born, including making billions of copies of parents' DNA, yet it does work just fine most of the time. This tells us that the DNA copying process must be very robust, and that with age, it's these mechanisms that keep everything in check that deliberately get weaker or stop working altogether.

Recent research proves it.

For example, there's evidence that organisms propagate their age throughout all tissues using some kind of signaling in the bloodstream: https://www.nature.com/articles/ncomms13363

Even more bizarre, the aging clock, as determined by DNA methylation, gets reset to zero at the beginning of embryonal development: https://hplus.club/blog/how-and-when-mother-nature-resets-th...
