Show HN: I made a MailChimp alternative that connects to your database
Hi all! Excited to share cc.dev after months of work and refinement.

The idea for this product came from trying to do email marketing for my side project, CubeDesk, a site where Rubik's Cube enthusiasts can time themselves, race with one another, train algorithms — it's a fun niche!

With over 40k users, sending even a single campaign was becoming expensive with MailChimp. I knew AWS SES would be much cheaper, but it’s just an API with none of the other necessities you need for a robust email marketing platform.

Beyond cost, I was also frustrated with having to make sure my database was always in sync with MailChimp and the audience schema they enforced. If I wanted to email every user who had completed 10 solves, that would be a whole ordeal and eat up hours of my day.

So, I started (and am now launching):

https://cc.dev

cc.dev connects directly to your database and lets you write SQL queries to target your audience. It's backed by AWS SES, so the cost to send emails is significantly less than what you're used to seeing. Combined with a template builder, media management, and campaign monitoring, cc.dev is meant to be your final destination whenever you need to send marketing emails to your users.

Would love to hear your feedback on this! If you're interested in trying out cc.dev as your email marketing platform, shoot me an email and let's have a chat: kash at cc.dev
There's nothing cool about using LLMs to generate content for marketing.
Is there any evidence of anyone using Hylang (other than the community that invented it?)
In general, tipping in Hospitality is an outdated practice in my view, mainly because :
1. eating out or holidaying is no longer treated as a special occasion or reserved for the wealthy or aristocracy etc as say decades ago or earlier
2. it's an unreliable income stream as markets adopt innovations like Food Delivery apps

However, it makes sense to tip in niche industries e.g casinos, special clubs, digital content providers/opensource software etc.
The documentation and the source code is all you need to do anything with an OpenBSD system. There is no need to track down anything the OpenBSD doesn't explicitly provide or document.

Sometimes you have to think real simple.
IMO this needlessly aggrandizes entrepreneurs. The way I see it, certain people end up in situations where they can take the risk, and some take the risk. For instance if you already have some wealth saved up you can take a couple of years to try your idea. Or if you work in a field where you are very likely to be able to get back in. On the other side, you might have relationships that are likely to come with you on your journey, whether that's customers or collaborators.

It just comes down to being able to give it a try, mainly from having a combination of low failure cost and high success probability.
Even without introducing things like roads I have found it infeasible to get a reasonable air temperature measurement while hiking--something could probably be 3D printed but I don't have one.

Garmin, what possessed you to make a *black* temperature sensor? And provide no proper sun shield for it? (Although I'm not sure how effective a sun shield would be. I've got a thermometer in the back yard that is inside a manufacturer's sun shield--vented white plastic--and it still can report 15 degrees above actual even though it's under a tree.)

Even putting it something like an inch deep in my pack has produced readings of 90+ when hiking away from the sun for an extended period.
The don’t use Git for it. Emacs is a crappy Photoshop replacement, but it’s great at it was actually built for. Git isn’t great for video game assets, but it’s great at what it was actually built for.

Use the right tool for the job. The parent poster is complaining that their employer picked the wrong tool for their job, then insisting that the tool sucks.
Given the scale of their claim, do they have anything to lose if this is completely wrong? Or if it turns out to add $800B in value to the economy? /rhetorical question

Probably an unpopular, "grass is always greener" opinion, but this is why leetcode-style interviews can be a good thing at FAANG. Anyone with time and an internet connection can gain experience with data structures and algorithms via leetcode, whereas it's much harder to get hands-on experience with scaling real transactions-per-second on your own. And, as contrived as leetcode is, it does measure something about your ability to grok how code and infra scale against time and space.

I’ve been in the contact center consulting space for years and unfortunately, some industries just know there aren’t many alternatives or the effort to move somewhere is so high they really don’t need to strive to make the customer feel special or welcome.

Airlines, internet providers, larger companies like Amazon and Meta can run on such low quality support because face it, most people will continue to use them.

Coinbase even offers “24/7 priority support” if you subscribe to their monthly plan.

The industry is a mess but companies are starting to move the traditional contact center as you mentioned focused on just limiting the complaints and placing a bandaid on the problems to make them go away and turning into a fully personalized experience where calls and feedback help feed the entire customer experience. Metrics typically looked at such as higher hold times are not as highly weighted as the reasons and how often someone is calling and helping really drive a lot of companies in a positive way.

And also regenerative braking is a huge efficiency gain that has no equivalent for ICE engines.
Not really? Mileage is probably the single largest thing people care about. If they never have to go to a charger and can just do it at home then it's a win.

Getting an EV with 200 miles that effectively is 120 is a joke. I couldn't even drive to and from work comfortably with that.
Not the OP, but the Netherlands and Austria are the keepers and Romania and Bulgaria are the keep-ies.
Your final statistic is the most damning, especially given there are (officially) 43% more people living in the USA today than in 1986.

Also, I don’t think the point of comparison is battery-powered toys. People have experience with electric tools (I can’t even vacuum my living room properly and with good conscience with the meager battery life the top-of-line battery vacuums offer!) which is probably a fairer comparison.
Electric cars are significantly easier than ICEs to develop electrically and mechanically. Car companies are notoriously bad at writing software. These are orthogonal statements.
If everyone listened to PC, there'd be no janitors because no one would clean shit up if they had a million dollars.
I went down that rabbit hole a few years ago. Many cards don't tolerate sudden power loss while writes are happening.

The solution I found was these ATP micro SD cards (looks like the prices have increased like 3x though...) where the firmware is specifically designed to tolerate abuse:

Perhaps there are other cheaper but still robust alternatives now?
Sure you have to feel sorry for realtors to some extent.

But real-estate is at the very heart of the financial system, and therefore the economy if not the government.

So this is not about individual careers or working preferences in themselves.
For the Millennials with proper jobs that never could buy a house, still live at their parents, and are inclined to communal ideas that lower the impact of individuals on their environments.
No, it's more than just words. Would you want to participate in a profession where roughly 50% of your colleagues go behind your back to spew outright hatred at your ethnic group? Do you think you have a right to know about such behavior?

Here's a direct quote the paper has from EJMR: "And America lost its war against blks. [...] At least until we resolve to final solution"

Do you have any empathy at all for those on the other side of this?
I was about to upgrade my 1070, a card that’s about 7 years old, until I saw I needed to get a 4090 for any sort of meaningful VRAM increase. Absolutely wild that Nvidia is still shipping mid-tier GPUs with 8gb after this long.
The supposedly heat resistant concrete failed because it cracked and hot gasses forced their way in and under. If the rocket bidet I'd bet it will be for similar reasons, that the gas powering the water is wimpy compared to the rocket blast, and the bidet gets ripped apart because it could not keep the hot gasses out.
Current season? I had a look and there is the new Fiona and Cake series coming at the end of August. But I thought there the last episode before that was in 2021?
That's not what this thread is about; the OP explicitly said "for an upcoming product".

As I see it, it depends on the default. If you are already actively taking on users but are throttling the sign-ups due to unexpectedly high demand, that's much more legitimate than just getting people's emails into a list, knowing it will be months before you're able to sign them up.

I've always argued this is a Field of Dreams problem. In that if you build it they will come. The electric will expand to meet demand.
I’ve used it for recording my guitar practice. I can throw in a jam track or backing track then record myself playing with it. One of the best things you can do as a musician is listen to yourself, you’ll spot all kinds of ways to improve.

Understanding the octopus and its relationships with humans
I can’t see how anyone is harmed by this usage. Seems more hyperbolic to me, or rather obsessive compulsive, which I say as someone who has struggled with OCD in the past. The impulse to constantly monitor and revise the minutiae of language for the slightest whiff of offense seems unhealthy to me, but maybe that’s just because of my predispositions.
This turns out to be (almost) a collective response. Thank you, Sam!

I suppose when we say these things we should say, fractional reserve lending creates some money. Otherwise one can get the impression that banks can create as much money as they want, which they can’t.

Ah, that’s fair. My comment is phrased as though I’m presenting a fact. Perhaps “the things which are seen as insensitive” is better phrasing.

I can agree that people are often over-sensitive but I wouldn’t expect that calling a person deadweight is likely to garner their thoughtful attention, precisely because it is disrespectful. Indeed, it would be foolish of me to expect them to start (or continue) listening to my words.

Maybe you have better luck in New York but I bet you could find people (read: strangers whom you’ve never met or spoken to) there who are personally offended when you call them deadweight. If you’re walking somewhere and you see someone whom you think is homeless, do you let them know they’re deadweight to society? Do you think one is being over-sensitive if they become offended after they are simply called “stupid”? It might be worth explaining an opinion more instead of using such terminating cliches.

Maybe because the one commenter used the phrase “insensitive opinion” there is a misunderstanding. I’m not trying to suggest that the opinion is insensitive, only the way it’s expressed. This opinion can be presented in a friendlier way, despite the topic. (It may also be worth pointing to four words in my initial comment: “regardless of the veracity”.) One can be tolerant of opinions while being intolerant of name-calling in a way that is compatible with not being the “tyrannical minority”.
Toyota routinely seem to be developing all kinds of new things… all of which are not production vehicles that anyone wants to buy in any serious quantity.

It’s a distraction tactic.

I don’t know what they’re buying time for but it had better be good else this won’t end well for Toyota.
It's interesting that the project officially supports riscv64 but other architectures in a similar ecosystem niche, but vastly larger installed base, like SH4, have been unofficial ports for decades. Perhaps this is a good comparative example of how to effectively engage the community, or fail to.
This may be subjective. I enjoyed AFfC a whole lot more than I did DwD.

I suspect the reason is that I really did like the background imagine of a war-torn Westeros being painted, while on the other hand, everything about Essos seems to be made up in such a way that it's just as "exotic" as possible without any real debt. Even the characters have stupid names that give me a kind of "I don't know what languages besides English sound like" vibe.
I don’t understand how the SYSMI box works.

I see power input going into the Mikrotik router, then feeding D-Link USB hub with (according to the Mikrotik specs) up to 5V/500mA DC.

The USB hub sends power to both Pi’s and somehow splits the 500mA between RPi 3 (officially needing up to 5V/2.5A) and RPi 4(5V/3A). And it still somehow works?

I know all the specs are not set it stone. USB can feed more than 500mA and Pi’s can run on well under their requirement but I’m no stranger to Pi’s and I had experienced power issues due to inadequate supply before. Especially when the CPU is maxed out, like during the boot sequence.

Am I missing something here? This looks quite insane.
I can get over that, but I've used a couple of websites where hitting enter in the code box doesn't submit the code and log you in - that is unforgivable.
The packed simd extension isn't ratified and mostly aimed at embedded processors that need to do digital signal processing.

The vector extension (rvv) is what's important for desktop and server chips, and it is already ratified.

ffmpeg for example already has some things ported to rvv [0], and many projects are already working on support.

The problem is that there currently isn't any consumer hardware that supports the ratified vector extension. Sipeed announced [1] that they are working on a RVA22+V soc based on the C908 chip, this will likely be the first one developers can get their hands on.

More people use HN to keep up with ChatGPT.

Actually I do use BERT-like models to keep up with other news. My intelligent agent YOShInOn ingests about 3000 articles a day, clusters them, ranks them and presents me with 300 diverse and high scoring articles. The articles I submit to HN, Mastodon, Tildes, etc. we’re all chosen by the two of us working together.

Something I've noticed about Yogurt specifically - yogurt is very expensive at the grocery store (almost $5 for the 32 oz tub of plain store brand) but much cheaper at Walmart ($2.36 for a 32 oz tub of plain store brand).
How reasonable is for a non-us based developer to even try?

FAANG positions in Europe are OK-ish but not such a deal breaker to me to dedicate so much time to -useless- stuff, I'd rather build cool shit
Refreshing to see a wm written in a modern language. React is horrible but having the wm written in js may open the door for people who dislike strict or limited languages to implement their own. Pretty cool.
“Waitlist launches” aren’t launches, they’re marketing tricks.

Your mileage might vary, though in my experience HN folks aren’t too fond of scams.
Yes, but you also have the extra weight of the second engine - and you have to transform that mechanical energy to electricity before the electric engine transforms it back to mechanical energy again, which is lossy. So all in all I think it makes sense for long range/remote areas, but I rather would have a fuel cell as a range extension. (which has its own downsides of course)
People build, sorry architect, incredibly complex systems and then try to stop them from being complex. I for one have learned to stop worrying and love the complexity. Maybe a naive question: why is it important that a company with thousands of people in the IT department all run on the same system? I mean I understand the many theoretical benefits of it, but in reality software is there to do something, and if you spend millions and millions and years and years on operating systems, what are you even doing for your customers? I am actually a Deutsche Bank customer and I do not care about operating systems they run. I anticipate people will tell me that surely this helps eventually fulfill business needs -- but does it really? In my experience and as others have pointed out, practically all other places are in the exact same mess, dreaming of holy grails of standardized infrastructure, clean code and engineering that will make other engineers pat you on the back. And some get it done and some can't, so basically at the end of the day you need people that will sort through the mess and get things done. It's never easy.

Once they are done with all this standardization, they will realize they just have new roadblocks, and will spend a half decade trying to fix those too.
Last I heard, Google staff use Concur to handle travel... there's no escaping SAP (and similarly frustrating enterprise software) in large corporations, even FAANG ones.
When the invisible hand of the market comes after programmers - which it will - I wonder how many will simply accept their fate and "adapt" or suddenly discover a newfound passion for labor solidarity and regulation?
Or they gambled that there would be enough hydrogen generation and distribution, which seems like an even worse bet. It's not that they decided to stick with ICE, it's that they chose an even worse fuel source.
Can you clarify what is nonsense about it?
> What do you mean "which versions of which libraries"?

If you upgrade a shared library to fix a problem, how do you know that the application has been tested against the fixed version?

And no, your package manager won't know.

Congratulations on a) not having multiple installs of shared libraries on your system and b) for knowing which version you have. Knowing this isn't very common.
Azure is predominantly running Linux VMs, so that kinda reinforces my point. When targeting Linux, a UNIX shell is obviously the better choice.
>First of all, the clear blocks being shot are ballistic gel. These dense blocks are tough, elastic, and a common sight in firearms testing because they reliably and consistently measure things like bullet deformation, fragmentation, and impact.

To be honest, it's really because ballistic gel reliably and consistently measures things like "the effects of bullet wounds in animal muscle tissue"[0] (i.e. how well bullets kill living things).

When I started my career in the late 80s programmers had their own offices, which was great. Then in the 90s I largely worked in shared offices, which was still OK. By the late 90s everyone was working in cubicles, which was a step down, and I longed for the days of offices. Then, for me, in the teens it had seemed that everyone had converted to the open-plan hellscape we're all now familiar with, and I longed for the days of cubicles.

Now since the pandemic, I work from my personal office at home, which is the absolute best, and I'm never going back.

It’s pretty rare for restaurants NOT to have a pick up option, you just aren’t allowed to use the service area that the servers maintain and use. Part of the service that waiters provide is the use of silverware, napkins, the cleaning of the tables and the restaurant, etc. Many servers do these duties while getting paid minimum wage under the expectation that they will be compensated later by those who use the facilities.

Pick up your food and go to a park, or choose a restaurant that operates on a different model.

> Majority of us do not have the motivation to actualize our visions even after we know and believe that they are feasible.

Much of the time the decision not to pursue the vision is the right one, because so much sacrifice is required. A lot of successful entrepreneurs have tragic personal lives because in the pursuit of their vision they sacrifice their families. For those of us who are perhaps older, with a lot of personal commitments, and perhaps are also economically comfortable, those sacrifices are too great.
Was previously thinking of adding it as a secondary CTA but looks like it isn't such a good idea after all.

The thing about more details is super helpful! Thanks a bunch :)
Ick. This blog celebrates a very non-equitable outcome.
I envy you with your Toyota diesel. I could only manage to get a VW.
The Prius has also been a PHEV for years now. I doubt it would require a huge change in manufacturing processes to make a pure EV version.

But it's manufacturing the actual battery modules that has been the hard problem for Tesla competitors as I understand it. I guess it's not surprising if so that Toyota would want to have their technology choice set for a while before ramping that up, since it probably affects many of the surrounding design choices.
and what "goal" would that be? to not sell cars and make money once the biggest markets all mandate them in under a decade?

It's not about ruining roads, it's about how deadly heavy vehicles are for the pedestrians they hit.
That's better than interfering with the rights of a patient to decide what to do with their body.
I don’t know about other press releases but to say that “no one would want to buy” a 1200km range car (or just the battery tech of one) is ridiculous to the extreme. It’s what everyone has literally been waiting for.

After reading the article, I'm struck by a single thought: while that was imaginative and at points interesting, what did the writer actually say? It was a little like the sticky guy at the coffee shop who keeps talking, changing subject multiple times without finishing any, and won't let you get a word in edgewise: you like him well enough, but the conversation was for his own benefit, not yours.
