I'd vouch for Metabase. You can create charts that can be embedded fairly easily and the enterprise version allows you to create accounts with restricted access to datasets so it can be used by your customers in a self-service style.

I pair it with AirByte to fetch data from CSV files on S3 (generated hourly), a Salesforce instance and Google Analytics which is then assembled into a central data warehouse (also Postgres).

Both Metabase and Airbyte run nicely on Elastic Beanstalk. Airbase in particular is very easy to self host, maintain and upgrade.

Heroku was the original gold standard for git based app deploys, but never for scheduling tasks. Here's a link to the documentation of Heroku's supposed "cron alternative" : https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/scheduler

It only supports hourly, daily, or every 10 minutes and it isn't even guaranteed to run. I would see it skip jobs more often than I expected, maybe 1 in 20 at times.

Supporting actual cron is way better than anything Heroku offered.

“censorship” is when an advocate of human-rights gets silenced by a powerful entity that wishes to revoke said human rights

This is a weird take. I can certainly tell all sorts of differences between Apple and non-Apple products.

A short list of the major things that I think set Apple-quality apart:
Zero effort towards backward-compatibility or longevity, just force users to buy new hardware constantly.
Actively hostile towards hardware interoperability, just force users to buy adapters.
Actively hostile towards independently developed software and interoperability, just steal ideas to incorporate into an apple-owned product or use marketing to convince your users they're superior for being locked into your platform.
Don't bother to make software that works for diverse users, just use marketing to convince users that flexibility and functionality are inferior to whatever the Cupertino designers decree is the one right way to do things

Apple isn't a technology company, they're a fashion company. They can sell an iPhone for huge premiums for the same reason that Chanel can sell a purse for $10,000. It's not a product-quality question, it's a brand-quality question.

It's a problem of most buzzwords, there is no formal definition and it largely depends on context.

If I were to give you my attempt of an definition, it would be: the main idea behind "web3" is to have systems where no single entity can gate-keep users. It's not supposed to be "better than web 1.0", but mostly to be a contrast with the "walled garden" platforms and social networks that defined "web 2.0".

So, by that definition, social media services powered by ActivityPub that allow communication between different services are a step towards web3 compared with the "web 2.0" social networks like Facebook or Twitter. Messaging protocols that Matrix, XMPP are a step towards web3 in comparison with basically any messenger protocol that is controlled by Big Tech, etc. Content distribution based on systems like IPFS are a step towards web3 in comparison with traditional websites.

The main thing is these systems still have central points where users can be controlled or censored. An user of Mastodon (or any federated service) can be kicked out by the server admin and will have no recourse to get access back.

To be fully permissionless, a distributed system needs to be able to reach consensus without having to appeal to any central authority. "Consensus" here means basically anything about the "state" of the distributed system: was this message really sent by Alice to Bob? If Charlie wants to buy an e-book from David, how can we verify if Charlie has sent the payment to David, and how can David prove that Charlie now has access to the e-book file? This is the part where blockchain helps.

FWIW I don't think that Harvard is explicitly discriminating against Asians in order to preserve WASPishness as alleged.

It's likely that if explicit racial discrimination is taking place, it's more for pragmatism. The Black and Hispanic student body % shall not be reduced. The country is still ~60% white but the white student body % has been reduced dramatically over the last decade. That trend will continue but it's not pragmatic to do it all at once. Nothing like the scale of immigration in the US has happened ever in history. The top 0.01% of populations > 1B in Asia can move to the US and within one generation achieve elite status and that's still more than enough to fill every spot at Harvard.

Meanwhile, Harvard remains a seat of major power in places like DC and corporations and law schools and science. There are far more elites on the planet than there are seats at Harvard so it's likely to cause major tension in the future and my best guess is Harvard is being pragmatic and slowly reducing the white population as it increases the Asian %. Who knows what the Jews do? Maybe claim victim status and get a guaranteed seat. Since Harvard is a gateway to power, it's likely this is going to be a source of major tension in the future.

I think that it all depends on how the communication between you two works. If, for example, you are used to such inner jokes, like giving yourselves exaggerated titles, or maybe even if this is his bold way of asking to join you, it's completely fine.

However, you felt the need to come and ask other people. It means you don't feel comfortable talking to him. You two don't communicate well together and you don't trust him. Communication and trust are the most important things. I would have probably avoided.

People get mad at concrete re:co2, but compare its lifespan to wood, without preservatives.

How many houses, without preservatives in the wood, would rot and be rebuilt, compared to 100% concrete/rock housing?

Ask HN: How to find an in-office tech job
I'm an experienced (10+ years) software engineer in the Bay Area. It's getting to be time to change jobs, but unlike most my peers (and my team), I prefer working in the office with my team in-person.

With so many companies going remote-first, I'm not sure how to find a local company where most of my colleagues will be in the office most days any more. Where should I look?

P.s.: I'm not looking for a remote vs. in-person debate. Many, many threads here have gone over the pros and cons, it's getting tiresome, and I know which is right for me.
Hey, just wanted to leave this here. It’s pure joy to work with Pages.

Vercel serverless functions: https://vercel.com/docs/concepts/functions/serverless-functi...
The way I understand it, job displacement is the main driving factor behind economic growth. Some jobs have been automated, but most have simply become more efficient to the point that the demand curve no longer warrants most workers.

I have this vivid memory of walking through a market in a Peruvian town. All off those sounds, smells and impressions would probably disappear I thought, to be sterilized and concentrated into a supermarket, and most of the labor lost. There were skillfully painted murals on the walls. "Vota por John Doe para Alcalde". Labor being cheap, it might make sense to enlist a veritable army of specialized painters for each and every election cycle, but they should just have posters printed for much less effort, I thought.

This is when the realization hit me. I knew now what capitalism meant and I felt so wrong for romanticizing life in less developed countries. If we want an increase in wealth, we need an increase in productivity. If we want an increase in productivity, we need continuous job displacement, for ever.
I agree with a lot of what you're saying. The marginal damage any one person can do with access to high-quality image models is very limited, and most of the ways they could inflict damage in the first place either are illegal or easily could be made illegal.

The reason I use pollution as an analogy is that having it happen society-wide creates new problems that simply don't appear on an individual scale. What happens when someone builds a browser extension to let you porn-ify any image you'd like? What happens when schoolyard bullies can fabricate a compromising video as easily as they can make up a nasty rumor today? I think most people would prefer not to live in a society that works that way if they can avoid it.

Many devs just code for fun, and are not building in business logic at all. The moment you realize coding is just a fun exercise, it frees you from trying to bake in business logic all the time and try to 'monetize' projects.

On the other hand, if money is the main motivator, you need to build in business logic from the outset and be active on the socials to get leads.

Your argument would be much solid if you sign a paper renouncing to any benefit that could happen by their research, for you or your family.

If not, well... "They should kill their children to save mine" sounds a little hypocritical (and pretty unhinged also).

Of course, you can just provide a code for users to run on their own computers, but don't expect that anyone will really use it (maybe just a few people here and there, I really mean it). Everyone, who is really hardcore enough to run something on their computers to obtain torrents will just use Jackett (https://github.com/Jackett/Jackett). It can search through the huge number of torrents, which no local DHT scraping/search engine can provide.
Not really sure where you are getting your "typical" from, 32bit mcus dominate the market over old 8bitters like avrs in the arduino. And rpi2040 is not particularly enormous as far as ARM microcontrollers go, while it is dual-core the cores are tiny M0+ ones instead of bigger cores like M7 or M33
Thanks!
So, I had interpreted your previous comment as saying that using the average miles driven per day is a bad way to estimate the total energy (per day) needed.

But I guess you instead meant, not that the problem from averaging came from averaging miles over people and using that to get energy use per day, but rather averaging energy use per day over both people and days, when max power is also important, and is perhaps currently the limiting factor?
At $200-$300k, I might have to think about doing this.
I think you're looking at things backwards. The questions you should be asking are how likely is it that any employee who joins a random new company feels as though they can have an impact on that company and how likely is it that they'll be compensated at market rates over a period longer than a year? I'd say the chances are generally pretty low. Therefore, a short tenure should be the average case for a rational employee. Don't kill the collective messenger.
Everyone I know tried Superhuman, thought the experience was cool, and then went back to their old inboxes because it turns out that shaving milliseconds off email workflows doesn't actually save that much time or materially change the experience. Maybe it’s game changing for EA type jobs where the day is primarily spent managing and navigating an inbox, but for the rest of us, that’s just not the case. Superhuman feels like a feature not a product.

This comment is about serverless in general, not this particular tech. I’ve been abusing serverless for three years now using a NestJS bridge to the API gateway. All API request get bulk routed to a single lambda. NestJS, a dependency injection system for Node, handles particular routing, JWT validation, etc. Then my code does all the backend stuff. If I ever need to move from AWS lambda to EC2 (due to payload size or sync call limitations), I can. Neat JS will boot normally. Little to no vendor lock-in, especially in the domain later thanks to Clean Architecture.
> You probably didn’t set your light or color intensities in three.js using physical units in the first place,

Nod... unless you're using a color space, like Jzazbz, with an absolute (not relative) transfer function. Application context then motivates the nit pick. So a Jzazbz HDR of [0..10k], might get a daylight 1k nits picked for diffuse (non-highlight) white. Thus I appreciate it when color libraries provide a distinct Absolute XYZ D65 data type.
