that is generally true, yes.

I chose this approach in case the OP wanted deeper tangible pointers which is only possible with an understanding of their specific situation and kind of projects, location, etc.

I shoould have made this more clearer in my first comment

this is difficult, reach out to me and I will try to give you some guidance based on your situation.
So it’s not possible to use this with an existing postgresql database?

Ocaml is developing quite well. I wish we could simplify the readability of the language. Reason comes pretty close to this. And a nice django clone in ocaml/reason would lead to a lot of traction
Good call.

I meant situations in early stage startups where some people are literally figuring out what problems to solve or where to put their effort or mind.

One day it’s marketing, taking customer support calls the next. This is probably more tricky though I’m sure there should be a way to algofy this too

Yeah

As long as the algorithm is open source and the design can be agreed upon by both parties.

You may still need a human to make some decisions that feed into the algo. If not you’re probably not doing anything new in which case an algo is anyway better.

This won’t work in positions where you’re expected to work with ambiguity and bring order out of chaos though I’d be interested to think about how that can be quantified.

It really comes down to being transparent and clear. Humans can do it too, machines can do it better.

Re:Ask HN: Who wants to collaborate? (July 2022) on Sunday July 10, 2022 @03:53PM (#32048304)
First prototype was a haptic / audio interface on top of GPS.

Want to start testing it out and polishing it and iterating on other ways to solve challenges one challenge at a time

Looking for people to collaborate with on this project

Perhaps we should judge companies by profit per employee per hour and aim to increase that

Wouldn’t that be better than just valuation ?

The best thing to do in this scenario is to go ahead and interview in a few small companies and startup’s. At least 6 interviews ideally If you have no professional experience yet apply to companies asking for 1y experience. They are still open to fresh graduates and even if they’re not for that role they could open up an internship opportunity.

Don’t prepare for the first three interviews, just treat them as practice.

Prepare a little bit for the next three.

Internships are great if you want to experiment and see what you like. Do a couple internships in different kinds of roles or industries based on what you’re interested in.

Start interviewing without expecting to get a job or preparing. This will allow you to be less stressed during the interview and you will be able to learn better.

Treat interviewing like learning a new programming language. Start with a hello world.

I’m working on building solutions for increasing the independence and productivity of visually impaired people.

Happy to colab!

Would this also work for django?

I have been feeling similarly lately. Sorry don’t have any solutions atm.
Re:Ultorg: A user interface for relational databases [video] on Saturday April 30, 2022 @05:26PM (#31219530)
I’m honestly really blown away by this. Are there other such tools out there that do a similar thing?
Businesses should only be of 3 kinds:

1. Those that donate part of their profits to charities working towards the UN SDGs

2. Those that make money while moving the world towards the SDGs

3. Those who collect donations to move the world towards the SDGs

We collaborate through entities called companies or organizations and it’s important that every time we collaborate there is a positive externality.

Now the specifics of the goals can be debated and edited with time.

This is a great resource. I have come to the same conclusions after years of coding web apis and it’s very helpful to have it written down.
Re:Tell HN: I Need Project Ideas on Wednesday March 16, 2022 @02:51PM (#30702510)
Look for problems. There’s a lot out there.

Then see if you can solve the problem or part of it with your skills and knowledge.

This is the approach I’ve followed.

I’m currently working on an app that helps visually impaired people be more independent. Reach out if tou want to join this project.

Enter side projects. Problem solved! :D
Re:Ask HN: Has mask wearing affected your lip-reading? on Thursday February 17, 2022 @02:30PM (#30377516)
I did wonder this too (with some sadness )

I heard of some people who created a mask with a transparent strip to allow for this.

Also remember South Korea using masks that are transparent during election time.

Not sure about the traction any of these have got though.

Looks great. Will try this out!

Would a graphql API be part of your roadmap?

thanks! checking it out

Ask HN: Low code tool for mobile apps

Hi everyone! Have been reviewing some tools like Hasura, Postgraphile, Retool, metabase, etc.Was wondering if anyone has used any low code tools for mobile apps (android/iOS) or one that does mobile + web for external stakeholders? (Not internal tools / admin). Would love to know which one and your experience with it. How customizable is it?
