> We're pretty satisfied with Supabase as an open source project

As an open source company, we'll take that as a mark of success.

Thanks for the details, I'll jump into that GH issue with the Edge Functions team after this week
That is entirely different - neither of the interpretations suggested in the wikipedia is similar phenomenon.

What we are talking about here is why people who do things that make a particularly important contribution to society get paid less than people doing otherwise similar (e.g. in terms of skill required etc.) jobs.

Very few things like this are new, but I think it has probably become worse in recent times.

Show HN: Sackmesser – JSON/YAML mutation tool
Hey everyone,

I've spent a lot of time in the past modifying JSON/yaml for helm charts and not only and I always wanted to have a tool that would do it for me.

sackmesser is different from other tools like jq in a way that it's targeted exclusively to modify documents and also can consume as well as output both yaml/JSON. It's quite simple to add new formats if necessary as well as to add support for other operations.

A nice part of the project is that a JSON object is a valid argument for operations like push, set, or merge, which makes it super easy to modify multiple parts of the project. If that's not enough, you can always supply multiple operations.

I haven't focused on speed and overall polishness, this part still needs some attention.

Hope you like it!
Yeah but I have the impression it’s mostly about revenue tweaking, not evolving the platform in a way that benefits users. Which I guess is normal as it’s a late stage scale up.
seems to be roughly the same capacity as Command R+ if the arena leader board is to be trusted. I think Command R+ has fewer params?

I appreciate that a lot of people successfully get round the issue of learning English, but isn't this submission a direct example that there are still cases where language is barrier? And it's not like it's a one off case, surely there's huge amounts of research published in languages like Chinese, and probably smaller amounts in various fields published in the languages of pretty much any country by people who want to work on science even if they don't want to learn English?

I'm not arguing that it's high on the list of things that could be improved in the world of research, just that it's something that would be worth improving if and when computers are good enough to remove this friction.
I have it only if the room is too quiet. Any reasonable level of background white noise makes it go away.

> #2 is a bit harder to accept as it implies I don't have agency.

Of course you do have agency to a certain extent, the important thing to recognize is that "hard work" leads to mostly linear gains, while to be "successful" (in the "getting $62M in stock options" sense) obviously requires some exponential windfall.

The idea that hard work is the only factor for financial success is a blatant lie, perpetuated by those wishing to justify the almost-Ponzi nature of modern economies. Ever wondered why GDP growth is in terms of percentage, while compensation for labor is linear to the effort/work put in?
Templates as in C++ are a historical accident.

Erwin Unruh demonstrated to the C++ commitee how they had accidentally created a second, compile time programming language inside the primary language. He did this by calculating primes and printing them in error messages.

People got carried away a bit with the power made available by this new language. Unfortunately there are no basic ergonomics in template metaprogramming because it was not intended to be a programming language.

I would love to see something like that. I think it would be really neat. (Any takers? I hear it probably won't even take that long.)

[Of course if you were creating and uploading these videos as you create your content over time. And the upload site was either relatively well known or sufficiently third party that you can trust the timestamps, then I think it wouldn't matter if it was AI or not. "Hey, this person isn't using AI, they've been uploading videos of their process for years. Who in the world would do that just so they can get away with using AI five years later?"

It's not really a proof so much as it is a social proof. The person under fire needs a socially acceptable way to fight back against a socially acceptable ban-able offense. At least in my experience, lots of paper work normally does the trick.]
If it's that you like the spirit of open source I would take a project in this list and contribute back to that project?

There is potentially a lot of blind spots you have (e.g. What types of mechanisms are you going to have for license filtering?). Your questions along with request for assistance read much more as a request for mentorship as opposed to introducing more code into the world that people aren't reading.
Or cheapest solution: internet.bs has email forwarding for free, like many other registrars. You could use it only for service registration and not for emailing. But sometimes companies insist you email them with the registered email and you won't be able to do this then.

Just checked. They will now let me cancel online. It has suspend and cancel options next to each other and bills itself as "1 click cancel." Maybe they listened to you.

I started about two months ago and it has been....slower. I am searching for Engineering Manager/Sr. Engineering Manager positions. I have noticed that larger companies take (if at all) longer to respond to and found that smaller/mid-size companies respond faster.

I'm optimistic that the closer we get to summer, the better the response rates will be.

I just remind them of their "Party of Lincoln!" credo.
The author ignores the Wall Street Journal, a prominent right-leaning paywalled source, and he implies that an essay opposing mask mandates is inherently ridiculous. There is right-wing and left-wing BS, but the biases of the mainstream media are one factor driving some people toward dubious sources.

'But let us also notice something: the New York Times, the New Yorker, the Washington Post, the New Republic, New York, Harper’s, the New York Review of Books, the Financial Times, and the London Times all have paywalls. Breitbart, Fox News, the Daily Wire, the Federalist, the Washington Examiner, InfoWars: free! You want “Portland Protesters Burn Bibles, American Flags In The Streets,” “The Moral Case Against Mask Mandates And Other COVID Restrictions,” or an article suggesting the National Institutes of Health has admitted 5G phones cause coronavirus—they’re yours.'

Apple is not "in the cloud" though, that's not where they compete. So they have to bring AI to the device. A locally running AI engine might have some useful capabilities (not sure), but yes, it's never going to be LLM or something like we talk about when we discuss AI.

Saying that AI is only ever in the cloud is limiting. From this model, we should all just be running portable web terminals - well, I guess we already are.
Does everyone not have ringing in their ears when they really pay attention? Or like when they are trying to go to sleep? I always thought everyone had it because I had it since childhood. Still have to this day, same intensity. During the day it does not bother me, nor do I notice it. But if I pay attention, it feels pretty loud.
Like SourceForge.net ?
Frankly they already did it once. If you had a subscription you used to not get any ads on any streams, since about a year they reneged on that, and a subscription grants you no ads *only on the subscribed channel.

Basically everything "reported" by any western mass media outlet about China/India/Japan/{North,South}-Korea/Russia/Iran/etc. should mostly be considered propaganda, as much as everything "reported" by any eastern/asian mass media outlet about USA/Europe/etc. too.

Blast from the past? Like 2 years ago?
Same for me, I think I probably had it since a young age (lots of middle ear infections) but it seemed normal to me so I didn’t realize it was unusual until much later in life. I freaked out about it for a few years but realized it was and will always be there and didn’t bother me before, so I pretty much went back to it not bothering me anymore.
> I had another client about the same time, an elderly business man disliked by almost all that knew him, a truly unpleasant individual who never praised anyone, made more money than anyone I knew and could be cast as Scrooge except for his enjoyment of fishing which was all that he truly cared about other than money. But honest…he often would give more to the other side in the bargain than they asked because it was better business tactics to have a vendor who was making good money with you than not.

> “Eddie’s just more honest than a lot of the business men I know... They grab a nickel here and lose a dollar in the long run.”

I have seen this so many times, over and over. People burning bridges over relatively small amounts of money, discounting the longterm relationship, and most disastrous of all, ignoring that everyone has their own network and whisper to everyone what "really happened". You get a reputation as an asshole and then you wonder why everyone else seems like they don't treat you fairly.
Ease of installation, SSO, peer to peer tunnels (whereas in VPN access server, the server sees inside of the tunnel), no open ports, DNS, private dns server, switching easily between different exit nodes (or no exit node), subnet router, ACL (like cloud firewall), sending files from one device to another, TLS certificate for each device, fall back to TCP/relays when udp is not available. Tailscale is very good if you have to manage many users, and if you want to share nodes with others.
Cool tech!

If you install Tailscale, then you don’t need to think of connectivity for other applications: media servers, file sync, RDP, etc. Otherwise, for each of them, you have to think of networking all over (port forwarding, relays, UPnP, …).

Cons: You have to install an agent running as root on all devices, trust the coordination server to some extent, much bigger attack surface!
> The reason gmail was successful is that it didn’t revolutionize email. It was just a very good client that worked well but roughly the same as people were already used to.

I take it you never had a Hotmail account with 5mb mailbox limit (though by 2005 was a bit larger like maybe 10 or 20mb).

The revolutionary thing about gmail is that it offered 10x-100x more space than its competitors, for free. Everything else about it was whatever.
If only USB was peer to peer like FireWire.
Then again, there'd probably be some trade-off to that.

The main question you should ask yourself: Will this attract the right kind of contributions?

Whenever I contribute to open-source, it’s typically because I found the project on my own, and, by extension, I already have an idea of how it should operate, and so I’m able to recognize issues or missing features. If an open-source project I’m using already works great, I make no changes. This is how people’s mindset should operate.

Instead, a project like this seems ripe for people to come in and make any sort of change. OSS maintainers already deal with garbage PRs because of self-taught developers hearing that they should “contribute to open source to learn,” and then it’s just a README change or other unnecessary tweaks from absolute beginners. If an OOS maintainer put their repo on your platform, I feel like they would deal with a lot more of that.

It also seems ripe for abuse from nefarious OSS maintainers, who will use that to just promote their own projects, rather than actively seeking contributions. If they have a limited scope as to the changes they’ll accept, and are using your platform just as a means to get more eyeballs on their Donation link, that’s bad for everyone.

Just some things to keep in mind before you proceed.
How would you measure complexity and level of saturation? If you take a git repo and spit out a meaningful number for those, that could be a pretty useful technology in its own right, regardless of its integration into a standalone platform.

Who are the target users? Newbies looking for open source projects with low-hanging fruit that they can pad their resumes with? Projects that need better documentation than what GPT can write for them? Or the Lasse Collins of the world who are desperately looking for a Jia Tan to help them? There are different kinds of open source projects, each with very different attitudes toward casual contributors. Which kinds do you want to focus on, at least in the beginning? Answering this question will help you plan what kinds of interactions you want to enable on your platform.
People seem to enjoy that we've been enhancing dead celebrities by digitally digging them up and making them dance for us on stage, so why not? Beyond that, why stop at colorization? Maybe there's other artistic decisions we could enhance. Like we could change the plots of existing movies to reflect our more sophisticated modern experiences. Let's regenerate Mad Men but everyone has smart phones, and make the USO scene in Apocalypse Now an Ariana Grande show.

My advice is to check LinkedIn for listings but don’t apply that way. “Easy Apply” lowers application friction so effectively that every posting gets ~1000 applicants of which few are actually qualified. I don’t think I ever heard back on a LinkedIn-submitted application even for jobs where I had rare and directly applicable experience.

In the last six months I’ve been hired once after applying (on the website of the company itself) to s job posting I first saw on LinkedIn. I was poached shortly after via inbound from recruiter on LinkedIn
I don't use my twitch account ever anymore but I don't think there is really the same concept in twitch. I think most people probably watch 1-2 of their favorite streamers since watching streams is already such an incredibly time intensive activity. The most active someone can get is probably clipping short videos and curating clips.

I don't think you lose access to any of this when you unsubscribe, I think you just start seeing ads again when watching the live stream.
> My understanding is that a device that converts heat into power would violate thermodynamics.

I'm probably missing the point entirely, but aren't we doing this already with Thermocouples as used in RTGs?
It used to be that tech was one of those areas where you could search for things and actually find answers fast, but lately I’ve noticed that the search results have gotten a lot worse. The techie blogspam took a while to catch up with more mainstream topics, but at this point it’s almost as bogged down in useless crap.

It’s still the best answer, but you might need to teach them how to recognize crap and THEN get them in the habit of doing web searches.

> And, almost always, most would have made more money and had a more profitable career if they had simply stopped stealing and starting working honestly.

> I mean, figure it out. An embezzler has to not only do his or her job well so that no one is looking over his or her shoulder but has to do their job so well that they can steal for months or years and it won’t show up.

Performance and pay aren't 1:1, and sometimes quite far from it. That imbalance or perceived imbalance could certainly drive some to embezzle. Bit of a just world fallacy there.
Which is not to say that every nice person is an embezzler.

I was given the advice early in my career of being mindful of very nice people. I misunderstood it as "be a disgusting person".

You need to be nice and be a honest person of integrity. That's the magic. Not "OR" but "AND".
It's not where he's involved, it's how he's involved. He's a terrible leader. At SpaceX Gwynne runs the show, she's a strong hand at the tiller. In his other two companies, no one can check him so his instability ruins things.
Thanks for the explanation! This sounds like the right use case to use something more complex.

I’m always hesitant to add additional technology to the stack if it doesn’t provide a bullet proof benefit. A lot of use cases are perfectly fine with plain postgres, and I’m always fighting against polluting the stack with additional unneeded complexity.
The best engineer I ever worked with had 3 full time W-2 jobs remote in the US.

It was really unfortunate when all 3 companies found out at the same time and he was fired from all 3. Not unfortunate that he was fired, but unfortunate that his talent went to waste.

He was brilliant. But also a con artist.

Edit: I was his direct manager, and when I say he "was brilliant" I mean that he was extremely smart, extremely good at thinking about architecture, all the characteristics of a great engineer, etc. But he simply didn't have the time to execute because he was secretly splitting his time between 3 companies. So he was fired for low productivity, even though he had all of the skills needed to be extraordinarily productive.
Ah, I have an Airthings Wave Plus (I thought it the parent was asking about air quality meters in general.). The information is in the app; I've never used an airgradient device.
Notable also that a few places have chosen to evolve. Redwood City in particular has allowed the transformation of it's downtown. From "old and rundown" to much higher density with work and living density that actually feed an entertainment ecosystem around their transit station. Sunnyvale also.

Arguably they started a little late (in jeopardy from everyone switching to internet entertainment and shopping) but it's there. In both cases, that has not turned these places into hellholes. On the contrary, it made the single family homes around the centers even more desirable.
yes, but not permanently. You can certainly get dazzled by bright headlights, I can anyway.

> I'll admit I was a bit disappointed to see that the hardware was just RTL-SDR.

Somewhat surprisingly, if you went back 15-20 years, a lot of what the author is doing in software here would have been done in hardware.

GPS receivers used to market themselves by the number of tracking channels they had, as cheaper receivers might only have the hardware needed to track 6-8 satellites while a more expensive receiver might track 12.

So this software-defined receiver actually implements quite a bit of what would otherwise be hardware. And of course it can track every satellite in view.

The software-defined approach has some powerful benefits - for example, initial satellite acquisition involves calculating cross-correlation between the received signal and various gold codes. Being able to do this in the fourier domain lets you acquire signals pretty fast!

If you want a hardcore DIY GPS receiver, going right down to the transistor level, you'd probably enjoy reading https://lea.hamradio.si/~s53mv/navsats/theory.html - an 1990s era DIY GPS receiver, complete with hand-drawn schematics, hand-drawn PCBs, even a hand-made antenna.

FWIW "Net Zero" is using carbon offsets to have "net output" of zero carbon emissions, but you can still emit as much carbon as you can buy credits for. Credits have been widely regarded as ineffectual and even worsening carbon emissions, deforestation etc.

Some utilities now have programs where you can pay them extra money "to get a portion of your power from a clean energy source". This money is used effectively to buy carbon credits. So they're asking customers to subsidize them in not needing to eliminate carbon emissions.

Actually not emitting carbon is what some utilities now call "real zero". But their commitments to "real zero" are a long ways away, and they're just corporate goals & in no way binding.
