Re:Ask HN: What is your experience with Claude 3.5? on Tuesday July 02, 2024 @11:38AM (#40857692)
I have really been enjoying using it. It seems very good at handling simple but time consuming problems although I find longer chats it seems to forget about the previous code and gets muddled. I am using it in Zed and also with a Claude account as I find I can hit the daily limit when using it for a few hours.

I only checked HN as I started getting service unavailable error pages in the middle of it helping me rewrite some code.

Only really tried it with embedded C and Next.js stuff and it can make a few unsafe mistakes but when I need a helper function it is much quicker than me finding one myself.

Re:Vercel: Improved Infrastructure Pricing on Thursday April 04, 2024 @07:18PM (#39937026)
It’s a e-commerce style site with ISR. Product pages are cached for 24h with pricing fetched on the client to save the revalidate. I think I worked out what the price increase is though and it’s the edge network £2.40 (London) per million requests. From what I can tell most requests are bots and scrapers so it might not be too easy reduce. The pricing actually seems quite high when compared to other CDNs but I might have misunderstood it.

The tone of the email was a bit strange for a $960 a year increase suggesting we optimise but not yet providing what the cost increases are from. I appreciate we will get the updated usage metrics later in the month but it makes it slightly hard to explain to management why costs are increasing.

Most of our increases I assume will be the data cache pricing and the only real way to optimise that is to move data fetching out of data cache and use our own cheaper caching layer.

Re:AWS Console Unavailable on Tuesday October 12, 2021 @11:18AM (#28840784)
Yep also getting from London
We also jumped over for this reason and had to deal with a large number of gotchas from GCP. I kinda wish I never spent the long nights on this...
I am really disappointed by this. One of the reasons we moved to GCP from AWS was the ability to create multiple clusters at no extra charge. Now it looks like the pricing matches EKS.
Re:Ask HN: Kibana like data explorer UI for PostgreSQL? on Friday December 14, 2018 @08:18PM (#18686391)
We started with redash and moved to Metabase. It's really quite powerful and and teams great too.
Just wanted to add there is a bridge for Linux but it's in beta. You just need to email them at [email protected] and although it sucks there is no full text search most of the attraction is that your emails are not indexed in plain text.
I just can't stand Celery as a project. It takes ages to stay up to date and I have had a few issues with it which just should not happen for such a large project

GitHub is the website 90% of the packages I use are hosted on. All our company code and hundreds of hours are invested into whats hosted on it. I would hate to see this change...
Re:Bypassing website anti-scraping protections on Friday June 01, 2018 @06:27PM (#17211018)
We have kind of the same thing. All data is in an API which is less than a cheap VPS and display messages to them about using the API if they get blocked but they just come back with a new IP every time.
I have spent all morning trying to get this to work. What seems to suck is your ALB will return an error with no details.
The site you visit can still use that information with an ad blocker.
Please don't remove these tags. Our system needs them to tie up your orders to where you came from and your personal information. Which we can use to analyse and ensure we spend more money on targeting people like you.
Re:Our Attempt at Writing an Honest Privacy Policy on Wednesday May 09, 2018 @11:44AM (#17030697)
I think the real issue here is that zooming does not fix it. I can understand most people don't test every screen size (although we test loads) and would be happy to zoom out for some pages. What I ended up doing was using dev tools to switch to a normal size which was kinda annoying.
Re:Eshell as a main shell on Wednesday May 09, 2018 @11:41AM (#17030655)
I think there are many problems running Linux like everything you said and things like HiDPi but I just don't think I could dev on windows.

Linux Chrome 65.0.3315.3. Resolution 2560x1440. Looks like it just gets bigger the larger the view width `font-size: 1.7vw;` Probably want to constrain that. See https://i.imgur.com/erOZkOT.png
Such a shame they quietly broke IPv6 support.
So I really wanted to use this for our team but hit a few problems. This seems to run on AWS and so does most of our systems if this does not work and with no way to export the private keys I assume there is no way to SSH. Also it seems to use the same key for team stuff as personal stuff showing personal git commits in the audit log.
I wish everything just used wayland and scaled correctly I am sick of having to launch chrome with an environment variable so it can run on one screen and having another instance for another. Also silly things like file dialogs not fitting. It's annoying when you look and the issues are all from years ago and still not fixed.

Yep but a Chrome extension is not really a client. Especially when it has no offline support...
Re:The 1Password 7 Beta for Mac on Wednesday March 28, 2018 @02:52PM (#16700611)
I keep checking these articles in hope they mention Linux. How can a 1Password expect companies to use it when it does not have a cross platform solution...

This is done so well. I currently work at a phone comparison company and permalinks would allow us to tweet about the difference in sizes etc. Pictures just aren't as cool. Nice work

Disappointed that there is not a Postgres hidden game which is what I thought when reading the title.
