I was in batch when the cabinet arrived! It gave me a tiny glimpse into how early Atari engineers must have felt when given a wooden box and told to make it fun. So proud to see it reached its full potential <3

Even AWS, GCP, and Azure have had major outages in the past few months. Seems to be growing pains of the new era of the web, nowhere is truly safe.

His persistent efforts are the reason I pay for Bear Blog. I think he should fight for the chance to come out on the other side of whatever future we’re heading towards.

To confirm, an LLC with a solo dev wouldn’t qualify?
Lovely! I’ll give this a shot soon. Two questions: 1. Pricing - I presume y’all will eventually charge for hosting like n8n? I’m feeling a bit sheepish trying a new service without any mention of price. Even mentioning a free tier would be nice to see.

2. Any plans for integrating MCP servers? I’m looking to build a WhatsApp based Text to SQL service and this seems like a solid fit, but I’d like to use an MCP server that groks the business domain to query supabase. Any suggestions on how to pull this off?

This is so good. I love the name, logo, and bugs section.

Well, guess it's time to scale

Likewise! Really appreciate the reply and insight; I adore the alloy metaphor. I used to do a bit of blacksmithing a few years back and will def pocket this way of thinking about it.

How long have you been on your journey? I'm still wrangling the core language, particularly in regards to nested recursion. This is my first FP endeavor and feeling the drag on my brain.

Great analogy, and agreed. I want to understand the difference between good enough code that works, and great code. Ideally writing the latter myself, but some blend of traditional/new might get us there faster.

Ask HN: Senior developers – how are you learning new languages in the age of AI?

I'm a senior software engineer with 14 years of Python experience, now on a year-long sabbatical focused on learning Elixir and functional programming. My current approach is the traditional one: I rely on high-quality books and hands-on coding—much like the intensive, immersive study I experienced in college.Detailed my syllabus for those interested in...

I signed up for Gemini Advanced to get access to Deep Research on Feb 1st and felt on top of the world. So cool, so advanced.

Then OpenAI announced theirs on the 2nd: https://openai.com/index/introducing-deep-research/

Ethan Mollick called Google's undergraduate level and OpenAI's graduate level on the 3rd: https://www.oneusefulthing.org/p/the-end-of-search-the-begin...

And now this. I can't stop thinking about The Onion Movie's "Bates 4000" clip:

This is one of those posts that makes me feel like I'm in the right place at the right time. Thank you, this is a fantastic piece of tech.
This is incredibly nifty, thank you!

You have no idea how unfathomably timely this discovery was. Truly unreal. I've scoured the internet for a while trying to collect every dataset known to humanity about beat programming in this exact sense. Thank you.

Is it able to synthesize individual elements of a track? (kick, snare, hats, bass note in C4, etc). This might be killer for pairing with a sampler. Back in the early days of hip-hop, memory & disk limits encouraged artists to load samples that were pitched up 2x then slow back down on the device. This gave the samples a grainy quality which helped the aesthetics. With a human level of polish, I'm pretty sure the combo would be amazing.

I'm floored, the typing to jazz demo is WILD! Please keep pushing this space, you've got something real special here.
Also, is it a one-size-fits solution for dog allergens or does it vary by breed?
Much appreciated! I'll talk to my mom about it and see if she'd be down to try it for him. He's been exceptionally reactive to vaccines and allergens so there may be some hesitation. If you have any info about this therapy being used by people with autism, mental disabilities, etc. hook me up.
Congrats on an awesome launch homie :) My brother is severely disabled and I've always hoped he could have a companion dog but he's severely allergic. This very well could changes things. Cheers to a hella bright future.
Repeats the same command previously run. So if you used 'ci"' for (change text in quotes) and entered a new string, you can jump to a new line and hit . to replay your last series of commands.

Resist the urge to try every single new framework/technology just because it's popular. I wasted far too much time trying to always use the latest and greatest when MySQL and Python cover 99% of all the use cases I'd ever need.
