Show HN: Poll2hook – platform that uses polling of REST APIs to create webhooks
Hi there!

I'm very curious about your opinion on this project I'm making. Sometimes I want to get notifications for new data that can be polled, and it's always annoying to poll it, and of course implementing webhooks correctly is annoying, so I came up with this platform that solves both of the problem in a single package. Sort of like "Retrieve Poll" automation in Zapier, but with proper notification guarantees and alerting, mixed with hookdeck/svix.

What do you think?

Every militant gas-stove evangelist that I have personally known has done an about-face after a month of using a simple countertop induction cooktop. Their expensive high-end gas ranges are literally gathering dust. The ability to have such precise and rapid control over stovetop temperature is utterly transformative in a way that almost nobody realizes yet. (To be fair, it's hard to fully capitalize on this transformation since most cookbooks are still written with primitive "set the burner to 'high'" rather than "set the burner to exact so-and-so degrees".)

As for woks, that hasn't stopped China from being the largest market for induction cooktops, and they even make custom-shaped induction cooktops designed for woks.
Hmm
I worked in a bank and ran these calcs and we never use forward variances as you can’t know it for any instrument and you can’t know your return as well.

Crypto has nothing to do with this.

Are you certain if your facts here because something doesn’t seem right.

VAR makes abut more sense but still uses a backward looking variance. Sharpe never uses a forward lookingvariance as this makes no sense as you don’t know your returns ahead of time unless you are Madoff

And for VAR we either typically use historical VAR or Monte Carlo, again because you never know your returns ahead of time so trying to do any risk measure with estimates returns is useless
You can’t “discover” a right in the Bill of Rights, since the 9th Amendment makes it explicitly clear that any right NOT mentioned in the Bill is still a right held by the people.

In other words if you think the only rights you have are those enumerated in the Bill of Rights, then you either haven’t read or understood the Bill of Rights.
Life, like brackets, is about balance. Four walls with a roof don't make a home, but a bed, cupboard, toilet, stove, table, chairs, and bath set up out in the open don't make much of a home either. The internals need the structure just as much as the structure needs the internals.

Recently in India, a politician deepfaked the voice to deliver his speech in multiple languages [1].

Almost more than 2/3rd of Indian voters didn't vote for modi yet his party is doing very well.

Minification is the frontend equivilent to compiling code. We typically don't think of building a Go program as 'obfuscating' it when compiling it down to machine code even though the resulting artefact is harder to read than the original source code.

I believe enforcing social harmony leads to stagnation and toxic communities. A strict set of rules to set the boundaries of discussion doesn't mean that there is less conflict at all. It is better to allow conflict to happen than letting strain accumulate and make it inevitable with a larger magnitude.

I doubt men and women can be differentiated along those lines for that matter.

Censorship and loss of privacy are equally severe problems. Both stem from central authorities, which the internet refreshingly has little of by design. Wanting to change is implicitly demanded to be changed. There are many political interests that do want to change this but that is certainly not along any gender lines.

Both censorship and privacy aren't opposites. If privacy is guaranteed, censorship becomes impossible.
There’d be a variable scale of trust: for many people, a signature from a generic phone would be fine since nobody is going to attack the secure element just to forge a valid signature. National level politics, or a billionaire’s divorce, could be a very different story, however.

So, we need to work on this ringing bells. Sure some people will fall for it initially, but then we adapt.
There's been some people pushing air quality hard lately, not least dynomight, a blogger who seems to have getting on HN's front page worked out pretty well.

Not that I have anything against it. I got an air purifier myself over these discussions - it seemed like a fairly cheap and easy thing to do in the time of covid, without worrying too much who's behind any possible influence campaigns.

And of course I noticed that my indoors air quality was excellent, except when I was cooking. And I don't even use gas, I use an old non-induction electric stovetop. It's hard to get temperatures right.

Considering getting both an induction stove, and a better sensor that could track CO2 too. After a year with air purification, and after the first bout of a cough-cold in a year, I feel like I appreciate the service my lungs give to my body. Nice to take better care of them (it's time to change that HEPA filter too).

Instead of removing it, you should encourage more people to use it, since it seems feature-blindness is a bit of a problem wrt the design here. Removing it just means the people who were using it will just resort to abusing flagging and complaining about content not being "HN worthy."

> Is there a point in fixing companies that don’t want to be helped

It depends? One way of thinking could be, that if a company's business idea isn't useful for society, then, don't bother fixing the company?

Examples might be online poker games, or high frequency trading. How is it helpful for society, if traders make a bit more money, or if the poker gaming company manages to tie people to their laptops some more hours each week?

In the second example, more managers could be better (since the business idea is slightly negative to society?).

What did the companies you tried to fix, do, if I can ask?

> fixing companies that don’t want to be helped

Hmm, I wonder if it can be helpful to think about individuals rather than companies. Then the question becomes more similar to:

"Is there a point in explaining to a manager that it's better for the company if s/he fires him- / herself?"

> it seems very surprising to speculate that popular nuclear has overshadowed poor unpopular renewables.

Depends on your social circles or information sources I guess. What I get from mine (including HN) is that nuclear power is the correct technocratic solution to the world's problems. It has no downsides. Meanwhile renewables are ugly and not worth the investment. And I am only exaggerating a little.

> We've pumped a huge amount of money and time into talking about and researching and building renewables, with a much smaller promise of return.

I don't understand this, and also don't agree with it. The yearly new photovoltaic installed capacity is reaching hundreds of GWp. Even with a load factor of 15% it's adding much more capacity than we ever could with current nuclear technologies. And also much cheaper. The typically conservative IEA predicts new 600 GWp/year in 2030, but already in 2022 the world has added 268 GWp (according to BNEF) and will hit over 300 this year. Yes, the storage and smarter grids need attention. But overall renewables are absolutely worth the money and time they get.

Without appropriate ways for team communication/interaction (documentation, requirements, interaction, programming environment, ways to provide feedback), modularity is meaningless to team(s).

on programming side: ide & source control are some ways this is done.

libraries are not the only way to distribute DDLs. -- uncompiled source code, by directory structure, modularity organized by stand alone programs, .h files, .c files, by project/program version, etc.
My god...I haven't really thought about scamming at all, I was "just" worried about manipulation of media and politics. New nightmare unlocked.
This would imply that switching to burning hydrogen instead of gasoline should involve finding out what pollution is increased and decreased from such a fuel in transportation and shipping switch.

I would imagine part of the perception problem is that when we can see pollution as in a natural fire to roast meat as oppose to burning some fuel source to form the fire in which we really do not physically see the pollution although it is there.
Do you still need 3pieces of paperwork or permits just to buy a car?
This us just a climate change propaganda article. The actual cooking of the food and oil (especially if it smokes) is more dangerous than anything. And all cooking surfaces do that.

Get a good vent system (> 500 cubic feet/minute) with a makeup-air unit (this is code nowadays) and you’ll never even know cooking happened.
It's not extreme, but it's somewhat naive. If you want to make the world a better place, there are usually better ways to do so than via a for-profit business.

PR stunts aside, a business is where you allocate capital that needs to generate a return. Why overload this concept? Invest your money in a nonprofit or a charity instead. If you want to ride a horse, don't argue with a cow because it isn't a horse. Milk it, sell the milk, and buy a horse.

...And if this is not a discussion about how you personally are allocating your capital, your best next step is to go generate more capital because then you can invest it however you damn well please. :)

Hasn't this been true, at least in "creative" industries, for decades?

I mean, this piece mentions "chief innovation evangelist", which is little different than the dot-com era "chief evangelist", derived in turn from Guy Kawasaki who was, as I recall, chief evangelist at Apple back in the 1980s. (He definitely promoted the idea in the 1990s.)

Or, citing "Write your own job title" from Business Week August 28, 2000:

] Spurred on by the creative titles to be found in the dot com economy, traditional American corporates are increasingly using newfangled titles of their own. According to a recent article in Business Week, modern job titles include “Chief Talent Scout” used by a Florida software company to describe their head of recruitment, “Director of Consumer Delight and Loyalty” hired by a San Francisco dot com, and “Chief Experience Officer”, a title developed by US headhunter Russell Reynolds Associates. - https://archive.org/details/workingwithameri0000stew/page/78...

> altered job titles can help make an employee feel more valued at a company.

That suggestion has also been around for a while. I'm used to it as the difference between your internal job title (which, as the article says, helps specify ones position and responsibilities) and a business card job title, which can be more fanciful.

For example, from Infoworld in 2006:

] The best way to capture candidates with hot skills is to pay extra through a signing bonus or a retention bonus, Foote recommends, “and give them an informal job title that will differentiate [the employee] because we believe this skill is more valuable than others.” - https://archive.org/details/computerworld4046unse/page/46/mo...
I bricked a gpd pocket at one point and one of my proudest accomplishments was unbricking it.

I was trying to run openbsd on it and openbsd was not happy. so I install some firmware(bios) with all the options unlocked. I then proceeded to disable usb3, the idea here was that I knew obsd had some usb3 problems and disableing it would force usb2. however it had the effect of disabling all usb on the device. On the gpd pocket everything is usb, so the keyboard did not work and no way to get back in the bios and reenable it. At this point I would go for a cmos reset. but the gpd pocket has no cmos reset capability. Completely stuck, even tried to drain battery to see if that would do something. I saw a forum post you could pull the mainboard and reflash the winbond cmos chip, so I bought a cheap chip flasher and connector kit but was not having much luck. But did not know why so it sat on the healing bench for 2 years. At which point I was cleaning up and saw it and decided to give it another try. I bought a nice sioc8 clip(pelican) this time, hooked it up to the same chip flasher/3volt level converter setup used flashrom and the infernal thing flashed successfully. the cmos had reset and the battery even had a charge after all that time. the system came right up.

The moral of the story is that it pays to have a nice mechanical interface. especially if you do not know what you are doing.
I'm away from my family (with a 3.5yo kid) and I've been annoying them and reminding them of my existence daily by talking to them over the security system, replaying "I love papa" songs in our Tesla when they drive and making the car fart when my daughter walks by it.

I like to think if something happens to me, my wife could impersonate my "ghost in the machine" presence for a bit.

Why not both? Even if the former was the "public justification", AMP pages still performed better than bloatware-ridden websites that otherwise took 2-10 MB to load, not even mentioning the amounts of JS and the impact of it on performance, especially on mobile devices (as well as batter usage on those).

Every case was mostly a waste of my time and energy. I don’t think you can help someone or something that doesn’t want to be saved. And this is exactly how these companies got there in my experience.

Those who actually do want to change actually reach out and get the expertise they need.

I think I can’t help it though because I see the human cost in people working there and hating their lives as a result. It’s hard for me to accept that they’re adults with agency and it should be on them to try and get out.
Not doubting you but do you have some articles for these vast incredible use cases? Seems fascinating.
Not 1990s but close: World of Warcraft cut scenes in 2002-2005 were rendered using 3DS Max using I think Brazil R/S renderer and for sure the Deadline render manager (as I sold them this.). At some point around 2008 I think they switched to Maya and Arnold and Tractor?
