it would be even cooler if the blink duration, color, direction, etc were accurate!

I am so happy that I asked Codex to rewrite our website as Hugo templates which allowed us to statically host it and get rid of Wordpress. So much stress gone!

For what it's worth, we switched some of our actions to a self-hosted Woodpecker instance, and although there were a few kinks to iron out, it works better overall (for example, because of better caching on that single instance, our docker images build faster).

Your printer doesn't make weird noises?

Where can I buy this??

This comment made me curious is such a thing actually happens.

As it turns out "greenmailing" is a thing, but not from environmental groups. Here's what claude found for me:

<ai> The concern isn't baseless—there are documented cases of parties using environmental law as leverage, particularly California's CEQA. But empirical studies show only ~13% of such lawsuits actually come from environmental groups; the majority come from labor unions, business competitors, and NIMBYs hijacking environmental review for unrelated purposes. In this specific case, WaterWatch has a 40-year track record on Oregon water issues and the concerns about fish habitat are supported by the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs—so the 'thinly veiled shakedown' framing doesn't really fit </ai>

I hope doing that research didn't spend too much water!

We're making crop insurance accessible to farmers worldwide. Our platform helps major insurers monitor 10M+ hectares across 10+ countries using satellite imagery and ML — so farmers can manage the volatility of their industry.

You'll build web & mobile apps that agronomists use daily in the field (offline-capable, rough conditions), work on data-heavy features cramming gigabytes into mobile apps, and help shape product decisions with real autonomy.

Stack: TypeScript, React/React Native, PostgreSQL/PostGIS, Python + GDAL/NumPy for satellite imagery processing.

Small remote-first team, wear multiple hats. Quarterly in-person meetups.

What about Switzerland? Although not in the EU, it often inherits such regulation

This is a topic that I've long debated about myself, switching from vegetable oil to coconut oil and then back to HOLL rapeseed oil.

I'm sure this will be a contentious topic among the HN crowd, I'm looking forward to the comments.

This seems like an advertisement for that person's company.

It’s interesting that the author thinks that the value of the shares is higher than the preferred price, even though employees typically hold common shares, meaning they get wiped out in most scenarios except best case. The expected (best case) growth is not an argument in favor of a 4x multiple on price. The chance of achieving that is baked into the price

We really liked the idea of our kids being able to select what music they want to listen to, without having to look at a screen.

So we bought them a cassette/CD player from Sony for €100.

The idea that you’d buy a speaker with super expensive and proprietary figurines is a bit crazy to me.

The fact that this didn’t work seamlessly for my chat history is why I stopped using Signal

For Postgres, there’s pgTAP: https://pgtap.org/

Most S3 systems are terrible with small files (~50KB). 1MB can still be ok though

To me, high quality photos for real estate inspection means (e.g.) being able to take high resolution photos of a specific part of the roof so you can understand why there’s a leak. Not having to climb is a big deal!

I guess there's another in-between step buying your own hardware, even when merely "leasing individual racks", and EC2 instances: dedicated bare metal providers like Hetzner.

This lets one get closer to the metal (e.g. all your data is on your specific disk, rather than an abstracted block storage, such as EBS, not shared with other users, cheaper, etc) without having to worry about the staff that installs the hardware or where/how it fits in a rack.

For us, this was a way to get 6x performance for 1/6 of the cost. (Excluding, of course our time, but we enjoyed it!)

Their version numbers are meaningless in that way. Most major up upgrades are non events

We use Keycloak

How much does the third-party software cost?

There is a chance that he is well-intended and he believes in starting from first principles - think ELI5. It would be interesting to hear more concrete examples.

How does this compare to OpenResty? Could it somehow help with OIDC support (e.g. by integrating a relevant nodejs lib)?

Peter Thiel must be smiling :)

I really liked this comment and we follow all points except 7. We use a monorepo and it's working well for us. What's hard to scale about them? In what way are they hard to secure, and why?

When I did the math on replacing a 10-15 year old fridge, I was able to amortize the cost of the new fridge in 2.5 years, from the energy savings.

Even with proper filtering it seems to cause some problems, e.g.:

"In 2022, the canton of Zurich examined the surroundings of waste incineration plants (WIP) for dioxins and published the results in November. No massive or large-scale contamination like in Lausanne was found in the canton of Zurich. However, the random sample from the Josefwiese was within the range of the legal test value of 20 nanograms of toxicity equivalent per kilogram (ng TEQ/kg)."
