Same. I wrote a really big upgrade to the Jellyfin iOS App to support Chromecast (https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-ios/issues/16), got crickets :(

Best of luck to the folks leaving. Supporting OSS isn't easy.

I expose my jellyfin to 80 via nginx. Other services stay not exposed, and only available on my local network. I don't bother with tailscale.

Fixed! Thank you!
Re:What happens when you COPY in Postgres? on Friday August 18, 2023 @02:54PM (#37180415)
Hey hey, post author here.

This is a really good point that wasn't fully clear to me - this post definitely focuses on the \COPY from psql, rather than the CopyFrom backend.

I've gone ahead updated the post in the introduction to highlight that this post is about `psql`. My goal here is to try and understand Postgres better - so thank you for pointing this out :). I think writing a future post going into the backend code you mentioned is necessary. My goal is to have solid reasoning on why `COPY` is faster, and I'll need to keep writing these posts to get there.

Let me know if you think it's still unclear - I don't want to leave up any article that's potentially confusing.

I've also cleaned up the language a bit around `libpq`, I mistakenly restated the description of `libpq` from the Postgres , which is stated as "libpq is the C application programmer's interface to PostgreSQL. libpq is a set of library functions that allow client programs to pass queries to the PostgreSQL backend server and to receive the results of these queries.", but you two are correct, my statement was confusing.

Re:OpenAI API keys leaking through app binaries on Thursday April 13, 2023 @07:51PM (#35563765)
One wonders if ChatGPT could self-replicate - using these API keys as a bootstrap. Lots of individual users computes would certainly lower the threshold for being cut off for billing reasons.
One wonders if eventually - historians will plug all the content from a person's personal notes, their diary, their chat logs, into an LLM, and perform research by talking to the AI about the person's life?

If you trained an LLM against all the recorded discussions of Einstein - is it that different from talking to Einstein himself?

Re:Show HN: Rest – Instant RESTful API on Any SQL Database on Thursday January 26, 2023 @09:52AM (#34532309)
Pretty cool - wonder how it compares to Postgrest (https://postgrest.org/).

Generally been a fan of these sorts of models - SQL data is very malleable - and treating the tables as movable from the start really helps move faster as a developer - database migrations become easier as you don't need to do a lot of work with API.

I can see how this would cause problems if you always used this in production after finding a fit for the data model - but for rapid prototyping and development - big fan.

I find that this will wipe out a lot of Software Developers who are doing something that isn't really unique - and people will move on to more interesting work.

The internet wiped out travel agencies - but opened a new, more interesting world of better products (Expedia, Google flights, etc.) that made travel more accessible to everyone. Instead of travel agents - we hire software developers to benefit everyone

I'm pretty anti-TikTok - but shouldn't we have some evidence - or any knowledge of who this material came from - before trusting a reporter from Forbes?

I read through the article - but I couldn't find any details on the source this reporter is citing. Worryingly - the author "held policy positions at Facebook and Spotify." Instagram is a major competitor to TikTok - so conflict of interest is pretty strong.

As other posters pointed out - every major company tracks people. We've known about this type of behaviour for decades from big tech.

Re:Show HN: Kestra - Open-Source Airflow Alternative on Thursday March 24, 2022 @11:33AM (#30791304)
Why is this better than Airflow, or Prefect, or Dagster?
Wouldn't you want to not give the client any information about the correct answer? I would think you would want to have a `POST` command that gives you the encoding guesses if you truly want to keep it out of the browser.
Re:Using an ETL framework vs. writing yet another ETL script on Friday December 17, 2021 @09:00PM (#29600789)
Lot of dislikes on this - but I find Airbyte to be a great idea - and really exciting for a lot of people. Just because you -can- write a SQL extract in CRON - you're missing a lot of the features that you don't have to face until you hit scale. At that point you're in trouble.
Re:Show HN: Medusa - The open-source Shopify alternative on Tuesday November 30, 2021 @01:12PM (#29395385)
Do you allow serverless deployments? Or does it have to be running on a docker / machine?
Re:How Many Thursdays? on Monday October 25, 2021 @08:31PM (#28995041)
Funny enough - in SQL you could just write a query if you have a standard date calendar, and I think it would be almost as fast as any solution - and really flexible for however you wanted to format.
While I do wish the best of luck with your product, I feel like there's a difference in checking account needs for people with 10-20k of cash sitting around and people who live paycheck to paycheck. I think calling it anything close to a checkings account leads to "this isn't a checkings account and you're going to hurt people who think it is."
Why isn't this opensourced?
Re:Ask HN: Kubernetes at big, non-tech companies? on Wednesday June 02, 2021 @02:28PM (#27372226)
I built out the Kubernetes stack for data processing / batch processing with Airflow at Everlane. Fully automated deploys, monitoring, etc. Mind you - we didn't build this from scratch / use native Helm charts, but used an integration partner that gave us a much better foundation. The data engineers were responsible for maintenance, deploys, etc., but with the sophistication we got it was very rare to have to actually do helm deploys.

Ask HN: Small coding projects

I'm a data scientist who wants to move to being more of a full stack developer. Is there an easy way to see projects that need some extra coding help and are relatively easy to get into? The goal is to learn Github / a software platform in a manageable way that isn't overwhelming and can help out.

Re:Show HN: FuckFuckAdblock on Monday December 14, 2015 @09:51PM (#10735599)
I hate to ask this, but could someone explain where this stops the FuckAdBlock? I can't see it in the code.

EDIT: Oh nevermind; it calls a FuckAdBlock instance and then overrides it. Ha.

It confuses me how someone who founded the company and someone who starts 6 months after the company started are treated so differently when it comes to value in the company.
