This feels like it doesn't have accurate information. For example it has Domo on the list: "Domo was a startup in the Information space." and "Domo's demise can largely be attributed to its struggle to achieve sustainable profitability despite significant funding."

Domo might not be doing well but its still around and is a publicly traded company `DOMO` on nasdaq.

Same thing for Hootsuite, Evernote, OneLogin, Kik, etc.

Do you have examples of your CUE and Github Actions setup?

I was about to ask the same thing! That first sentence confused me
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM users WHERE date_deleted IS NULL AND date_last_activity >= CURRENT_DATE - INTERVAL '120 days';
They haven't posted since February of 2024, seems inactive?
There doesn't seem to be an RSS feed on there
Re:Replacing cron jobs with a centralized task scheduler on Thursday July 31, 2025 @10:47PM (#44752554)
I love this solution, I've implemented a very similar task scheduler at many companies.

I do think the best solution for this is still RabbitMQ. It has the ability to push tasks in the queue and tell it to run at a very specific time called "Delayed Messages" and then it just processes them at that time.

I disagree with this assumption. I work at organizations that have follow the sun coverage so we ended up having engineers in all timezones even though the majority of engineers are in the USA.

One common thing I've noticed over the years is APAC is always the most productive timezone from an engineering aspect because they don't overlap with the disruptive/time consuming meetings.

They get the most focus time out of any of the timezones.

The main tag line says "Drop-in replacement for E in the ELK stack" -- but here you say you aren't a drop-in replacement.

Does this mean you've at least implemented every API that Kibana requires?

I don't believe meilisearch or typesense are API compatible with Elasticsearch. I think the best part of this new tool is its a drop-in replacement.

Edit: Nevermind, in another part of this thread the maintainer said:

    We do get compared to Elasticsearch a lot. While we support some of its APIs, Manticore isn't a drop-in replacement
Which conflicts with the README: "Drop-in replacement for E in the ELK stack"

I couldn't easily tell what your product is doing but I think its doing something similar to this tool:

I think their marketing is clearer so its something you could learn from to improve your conversions

Can you give a brief explanation of the benefits of your policy engine over using cloud custodian?

Re:The Pain That Is GitHub Actions on Thursday March 20, 2025 @09:22PM (#43430948)
I'm surprised that they were already using earthly and decided not to continue using it inside github actions. That is my favorite pattern so that what github actions is doing is the same as what I'd do locally. No `act` necessary:

      - name: Install Earthly
        if: steps.check_changes.outputs.relevant_changes == 'true'
        uses: earthly/actions-setup@v1
        with:
          version: v${{ env.EARTHLY }}

      - name: Run tests and generate coverage summary
        if: steps.check_changes.outputs.relevant_changes == 'true'
        run: cd src/webapp && earthly --build-arg GO_VERSION=${{ env.GOLANG }} +coverage-summary

I think it ruins the people fighting for the leaderboard spots but thats a small percentage of people. Everyone else just does it for fun or creates custom leaderboards with their friends and it'll always be fun
Re:OpenAUTH: Universal, standards-based auth provider on Wednesday December 18, 2024 @02:04PM (#42453671)
Most b2b products are going to need SAML auth. Any reasonably sized tech business will want to onboard their employees into the software through SSO and the easiest way to do that is usually SAML if they are using something like Okta or JumpCloud.

Along with that, if they have compliance requirements like SOC2 then they really want the whole flow including offboarding any employees that have left the company.

Re:OpenAUTH: Universal, standards-based auth provider on Tuesday December 17, 2024 @05:58PM (#42446364)
Does it only support username/password + OAuth? I didn't see much information on if it supports SAML. I'm interested in how it compares to things like https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel and https://github.com/ory/kratos
I'm interested in reading this but don't want to have to login to medium to do so. Is there an alternate link?
Ideally sending cops anywhere shouldn't be treated as a murder attempt, no matter the persons intent. They should be trained to recognize if there is true threat or not.

If our legal system started recognizing that sending the police somewhere is equivalent to calling an assassin then we've got larger issues to address.

Re:Ask HN: Should I use React for a personal portfolio? on Tuesday July 02, 2024 @06:57PM (#40861251)
As a hiring manager -- I very much disagree. If there is a link to a personal site, github, or anything else on the resume I will visit it and try to get as much information about the candidate as I can through it.

I'll ask them questions about it and see if they can talk passionately about it. Sometimes a nice personal site or github with some portfolio projects on there is the difference between a yes or a no.

Re:Heads up – effectively offline for now on Monday January 15, 2024 @08:43AM (#39000871)
I've been living in Puerto Rico for 5 years now where power outages are so common (monthly at a minimum) that I decided to go fully off grid and its been an eye opening experience.

I think if I moved back to the mainland, I'd still bring some of the preparations I do here like:

  * Having a transfer switch for a generator that powers small parts of the house
  * Solar panels -- They are too cheap not to.  It at least gives you power for five or six hours a day even if you don't have batteries or a generator.
  * Cistern for water.  Having a few hundred gallons of water storage is a game changer when there is a power outage and the water can't get to your house.

Wow, surprising to see this on the frontpage this morning! This is my old script, the better one to use is called snowmachine:

    * https://github.com/sontek/snowmachine
    * https://pypi.org/project/snowmachine/
Which is also on docker, homebrew, nix, etc. It probably makes sense to update the post to link to one of these since they'll provide a better experience
