Me - This sql query you recommended will delete most of the rows in my table.

Claude - You're absolutely right! That query is incorrect and dangerous. It would delete: All rows with unique emails (since their MIN(id) is only in the subquery once)

Me - Faaakkkk!!

I could use this.

Questions: What file sizes have you tested?

What about a directory with similar CSV files - I have a use case where similar structure CSV, 2 TB data broken into 700 files. Instead of 1 large file. Would that work?

Congrats on your launch. There are some very mature solutions out there https://www.citusdata.com/use-cases/multi-tenant-apps/

What's the comparison with citus?

Re:Ask HN: How to deal with 0.1X programmer colleagues? on Tuesday July 18, 2023 @10:22AM (#36772797)
I see 2 directions you can go:

If you work remote, get overemployed and collect multiple paychecks and be decent at those jobs instead of a rockstar.

Else, continue crushing it, this job looks WAY too easy for you and you wont grow here without having the right challenges and learnings. Look for roles in other teams in the company where you are not the smartest one in the room. Once you grow there and start crushing it, you will grow naturally.

Personally, been using OneNote for over 10 years. Never jumped to any other hyped note-taking app.
Similar to what I use.

I use .net mvc with a razor-templating engine. With pjax.

It makes it super easy for me to maintain all my UX in server-rendered HTML templates. I get a clean SPA with super high development efficiency with MINIMAL javascript.

First I heard of HOTWIRE. I have been using PJAX for a decade now, which is a similar concept.

I use .net mvc with a razor templating engine. But this can be used with any backend.

It makes it super easy for me to maintain all my UX in server-rendered HTML templates. I get a clean SPA with super high development efficiency with MINIMAL javascript.

The best part was I could hire any developer and they know how to work in basic HTML/JS/CSS.

Edit: Reading more, I might need to spend time looking into HTMX/Hotwire as a replacement for PJAX at some point.

This has always been a pain. One recent improvement has made it better though. The new VS IntelliSense that generates code for you creates mapping MUCH easier as it fills in the rest of the shallow copy for you.

But, now that I use rider instead of VS. That is the main feature I miss.

I will be trying this out. Thanks OP.

Hi Jason, This looks great. Recommend you add an email waitlist for windows version. My team only uses windows. So we cannot try it out till that is released.
Re:Ask HN: Digital Nomads: What's Your Setup? on Wednesday March 24, 2021 @11:27AM (#26568454)
If you are in USA, the best thing I found was T-Mobile has at 100GB hotspot plan for $50 a month which each of you can get one.

I have faced this a lot, since I have been a digital nomad for 8+ months now. Other things I did: like downloading songs and movies on my ipad when I have wifi has saved me a lot of GBs. On windows there is a setting called "metered connection", which will make sure it does not download major updates etc over your hotspot.

I thought that was what HN was.

Ask HN: Git Repo Statistics Tools?

Have you used any git repo statistics tool, paid or free?Wanted to look at repo level stats as well as per author statistics.Also, have they helped gain any insights on your teams productivity? This is definitely just quantitive and not qualitative, but still curious if others have used it for any analysis.

Agreed - this was a side project developed almost 2 years ago. as someone else mentioned - entire app subdomain is under https. Only the marketing page is http.
Re:Mail a Letter Online on Monday April 29, 2019 @01:35PM (#19780573)
TBH - this was a side project that has been running for 2 years. Not something that I have touched in a long time, it gets a steady stream of people using it via organic search.

I created http://simplepostal.com a year and a half ago. Just never knew how to get it on top of hacker news :)
This is a cool idea. But worked once - did'nt work for a LOT of titles i tried. Seems to be some bug.
