Re:Data centers in space makes no sense on Wednesday February 04, 2026 @07:03PM (#46893755)
This is my 2 cents, I have an engineer background, not space science background.

At earth or above sea, we use cooling to maintain the temperature below 60 degrees, or 80 or 100 or something.

Shadow of space is -157 degrees, the cooling design will be different.

I made a website to alert people about inside trading and congress trading, https://tradesinsight.info

Not $500/month yet, but towards it, the work flow is quite simple, the infrastructure is a bit complicated, need quite amount of time to maintain.

Get notified whenever members of Congress trade, including Nancy Pelosi, Mark Green, Michael McCaul and more. Our platform tracks the trades of over 210 US politicians and strives to provide accurate and reliable information on their public stock trades

Re:Python: Just Write SQL on Monday August 14, 2023 @06:35PM (#37127622)
Based on my personal experience, I have seen some raw SQL codes about 200 to 1000 lines in some production source codes,

not readable at all, not easy to change, which is a terrible development experience.

I guess if it is simple CRUD, it does not give too much problem, but it will definitely work in a complex case.

Re:Ask HN: (How much) do you get paid for being on call? on Monday July 10, 2023 @12:06AM (#36661953)
The place I used to work in, there is no pay for on-call at all, but give an alternative leave.

The culture the manager/boss want to give to me is that:

- `It is a bonus to have on-call opportunity, so that you can have alternative leave.`

BTW, this is one of the biggest software company in the country I stay, when I heard what he talked to me, I decided to leave this place.

> I did one on-call from 11PM to 1AM to fix one product issue, and they want to give me 1 hour alternative leave for my contribution. It is not fair.

Anyway, I wasn't there anyway. Be aware of this company/culture, `on-call opportunity is a bonus`, no matter how much they pay you.

Thanks for sharing, it is an interesting tool.

I was quite surprised that the AI feature is free for everyone's trial, I believe it is quite expensive.

The payload for consuming the GPT-4 is interesting as well, there are one 1 out of 7 messages were from users, the first 6 are all system promots.

Looks like it is an example for users to understand how to use the ai assitant.

{"role":"system","content":"For example if a user asks for a list of 3 months starting at Jan 2020, you reply [\"Jan 2020\", \"Feb 2020\", \"Mar 2020\"]."}

Re:Launch HN: Depot (YC W23) – Fast Docker Images in the Cloud on Thursday February 23, 2023 @04:14PM (#34916547)
I guess this is a good point, we all can easily have a cheap VPS/EC2 to speed up own docker image build.

But maintaining a matrix of ARMv7, ARM64, X86/X64 instances, it is much more work to do. Than a simple powerful x64 instance.
