dataminded··on Fertility rate: 'Jaw-dropping' global crash in children being born
People are broke, government isn't helping. Surprised?
dataminded··on Ask HN: Instant VMs?
Closest thing that I'm aware of is Google Colab and Repl.it
dataminded··on Majority of Americans think at least one of last two elections was illegitimate
Those two things don't mean the same thing. Hillary Clinton won the popular vote, Trump did not. The sentiment that the candidate who got the most votes is the rightful winner has limited correlation with Trump's stolen election arguments.
dataminded··on Okta to Acquire Auth0 for $6.5B
I've done a couple of successful Auth0 projects. Okta has always been impossible to work with. Time to find another vendor.
dataminded··on I Wrote an O'Reilly Book on Tensorflow.js
Congratulations. I'm looking forward to reading this one.
dataminded··on Meltano: ELT for the DataOps era
Easy -- Meltano has not been in production. They are both relatively new tools.
dataminded··on Meltano: ELT for the DataOps era
They have the right idea, it's a real need and a major opportunity. Airbyte[1] is a few steps ahead. I also expect that the Airflow community will also wade into these waters at some point.

dataminded··on Google Cloud vs. AWS Onboarding Comparison
This feels like working really hard to solve a problem that isn't yours. Why not just get your services from a company that will support you? Why is GCP worth doing this for?
dataminded··on Google Cloud vs. AWS Onboarding Comparison
Not if they sell the rest of their services profitably.

I keep throwing large sums of money at AWS because they insist on making their products useable. AWS wants to me adopt their products, they want to remove barriers, they want to help me make money. I have no problem continuing to invest in their services.

dataminded··on Google Cloud vs. AWS Onboarding Comparison
I'm not at a startup but this resonates.

AWS crushes it with customer service. Google is a PITA.

dataminded··on Rethinking the IDE for the 2020s
This doesn't align with my expectations/needs. I would love to see metrics/survey data on what others need.

- We no longer want code running on developer machines. We're actively working to embrace remote execution for everything. - Repository boundaries exist for a reason. Why are you modifying two repositories at the same time? - We think collaboration is a good thing. Live coding allows for pairing and troubleshooting. It's great for knowledge sharing and for getting new developers up to speed.

dataminded··on The next generation of VR on Playstation
Facebook is creating an opportunity for someone else by requiring Facebook logins. I anticipate that many owners of the oculus will jump ship if a viable alternative is presented.
dataminded··on Launch HN: Wyndly (YC W21) – Allergy relief through at-home oral drops
I really want this. Any plans to address shellfish allergies?
dataminded··on Logging into Gmail on Chrome links my Google Account to the browser
There's a very quick fix for this -- install firefox :-D
dataminded··on Fired software engineer sues Wayfair for mistreatment over caregiving, age
I've talked to a past Wayfair employee -- not surprised. I understand that place is THE WORST.
dataminded··on Gitlab is moving to a three-tier product subscription model
Same situation here.
dataminded··on Ask HN: Who else hates living docs?
Have versions and manage the release and acceptance of new versions.
dataminded··on Google has been testing a replacement for third-party cookies
Google isn't sharing your individual data but they are still collecting it and storing it. This feels like a non-improvement to me.
dataminded··on Launch HN: Seed (YC W21) – A Fully-Managed CI/CD Pipeline for Serverless
Nice. Very real problem. I'm excited to check this out.
dataminded··on Switching from Apple to Lenovo
You can buy that warranty coverage as an individual for very little money.

I recommend Dell to my friends because the warranty coverage is so exceptional.

dataminded··on Back to the '70s with Serverless
> Split your codebase, split your teams, create a lot of opportunities for mediocre coders to grow into mediocre engineering managers, everybody was happy.

Too many companies have to hope of hiring the level of competence required to not suck. It's painful but true. AWS is cheap and serverless is popular when setting up a linux image security and correctly can take weeks or months.

dataminded··on Starting a blog has never been this difficult
Yes but the article lists all of the reasons that the alternatives you listed are also bad for bloggers.

If you are hoping to own a piece of the internet you can thrown Ghost on a cheap VPS for $5/month or you can pay someone else to host it for you for $30/month.

You can also take a 'free' option that makes money off your data and audience.

dataminded··on Starting a blog has never been this difficult
I'm surprised(?) that the article doesn't mention Ghost [https://ghost.org/].
dataminded··on Launch HN: ShareWith (YC W21) – Easily share internal websites securely
Is this similar to Cloudflare Access but with a better developer experience?
dataminded··on Cloudflare Pages: the best way to build JAMstack websites
I can only speak to Netlify and Vercel, both really good steps forward but very immature solutions.
dataminded··on Cloudflare Pages: the best way to build JAMstack websites
Yay -- going to spend the holidays porting my personal website over to this.

Cloudflare has made it really easy to give them my money.

dataminded··on Firefox Was Always Enough
I think there's tremendous space for people that want privacy and doesn't want Google/Microsoft to have access to all of their data.
dataminded··on App privacy labels now live on the App Store
Only if you are ingesting those logs, correlating them with users and storing that data somewhere.
dataminded··on AWS Managed Workflows for Apache Airflow
Nobody is getting fired (at our org at least). We have to purchase support for Airflow due to security policy. AWS is much cheaper than any alternatives.
dataminded··on AWS Managed Workflows for Apache Airflow
Our security posture requires that I purchase support for all software that we run in production. There are very few organizations offering support for Airflow and they aren't cheap.
