where can I search for a chat in chatgpt? I miss that feature. Can't find it
doczoidberg··on White House eyes subsidies for nuclear plants to help meet climate targets
what are we doing with the nuclear waste? I mean in reality not in theory. Aren't renewables cheap enough also with energy storage?

doczoidberg··on Supabase (YC S20) – An open source Firebase alternative
nice project but this is only the database part (firestore/firebase rtdb) of firebase.

I also haven't read something about authentication and validation. You can't compare a database without auth with firebase.

doczoidberg··on Finite Element Method
Is Physx and Flex also for engineering issues but only for game physics?
doczoidberg··on Finite Element Method
yes code aster is great. I work on a cloud based FEA SaaS based on code aster. Besides a GUI it will also have an english API.
doczoidberg··on Angular 9.0
Just want to say that all the Angular React comparisons are dumb. It is comparing apples to oranges. Angular is a bigger framework for developing more complex stuff. Therefore of course there is a steeper learning curve. Here are comments like "react is so much more easier because it is just functions". Why not just using vanilla js because you have nothing to learn then? Or just use binary code? It is just 0 and 1.
doczoidberg··on Angular 9.0
I also not experienced these problems.
doczoidberg··on Are you seeking freelance work?
How can I connect or edit my profile? Nothing happens on the page
doczoidberg··on Google Cloud Firestore NoSQL database is in GA
I like cloud firestore and firebase platform very much. It would be nice to have more query features. A simple "!=" is not possible.

Also an automatic backup would be nice (and can't be that hard to offer?).

doczoidberg··on Google Cloud Firestore NoSQL database is in GA
Firestore is very limited here. I trigger a cloud function on every new entry and replicate my data in bigquery. This solves the problem for me.
doczoidberg··on Comparing Serverless Performance for CPU Bound Tasks
hmm firebase (google) cloud functions take 2,3s in average for me for a respond (simple json output out of firebase)

"Since I published this piece Microsoft have made significant improvements to HTTP scaling on Azure Functions and the below is out of date. Please see this post for a revised comparison. https://www.azurefromthetrenches.com/azure-functions-signifi...
doczoidberg··on The Tesla Model 3 cost $28,000 to build
This is not a random person but a service company which has reverse engineered 4 Teslas for german car manufacturers.

Among others these car engineers spotted that the new battery cells use nearly less then a third of cobalt (2,8% vs 8%) of ordinary cells what no other company has achieved. This should be a quite competitive advantage

doczoidberg··on Show HN: RoughJS – Create hand-drawn graphics using JavaScript
does anybody know something similar for .NET (WPF) applications?
doczoidberg··on A startup’s Firebase bill suddenly increased from $25 to $1750 per month
they respond quite fast on the google group. I had never problems with firebase support
doczoidberg··on Alphabet's Self-Driving Cars to Get Their First Real Riders
Sure people will buy self-driving cars. People want to own things for themself. If a car has a higher value with this feature even more people want to have a car. Consumers don't think economically.
doczoidberg··on Angular 4.0.0 Now Available
I came from C# WPF/Winforms and have to say that Angular 2 is more familiar to me than react.

Of course the whole web stack is a new thing. Angular makes web app development much more productive.

doczoidberg··on Angular 4.0.0 Now Available
I also had a painless upgrade from 2.4 to 4.0.

With angular-cli ng2 is now usable and in my opinion the best Javacript/typescript framework.

doczoidberg··on Why I left Mac for Windows: Apple has given up
that is not true. people use clearly more windows laptops in germany
doczoidberg··on Google Cloud Platform is the first cloud provider to offer Intel Skylake
what do I have to consider as a software developer to benefit from these upgrade? Do I need special tools/libraries?
doczoidberg··on Avoid Non-Microsoft Antivirus Software
half offtopic: do I need an AV software on my android smartphone? Friends always ask me which they should use (because I am the "computer guy") and I tell them that I don't have one.
doczoidberg··on Avoid Non-Microsoft Antivirus Software
Not only your granny. I also want to remember the android icon which gained thousand of 5 star reviews for 'protecting' the smartphone. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/apr/10/fake-andr...

I don't have an AV on my windows machine since ~8years and no problems so far.

doczoidberg··on RethinkDB Postmortem
firebase is also a realtime json database. I am quite satisfied with it till now
doczoidberg··on Developers’ side projects
can you give me a link for the german law?
doczoidberg··on Show HN: Amazon S3, Microsoft Azure, Rackspace, Backblaze via a Single API
please add "storage APIs" to the headline. without it, it is misleading
doczoidberg··on Formation of Tesla Advanced Automation Germany
no. It's still too expensive.
doczoidberg··on Formation of Tesla Advanced Automation Germany
this statement is wrong.

Nobody buys EVs because they are not an alternative yet. However this may change in 3-8 years. And then there will be german automakers with the best EVs in the world.

doczoidberg··on Formation of Tesla Advanced Automation Germany
I come from Aachen. I don't think that people commute from here or colognen to Prüm. It's too far away for daily commute. This could change with fully autonomous cars ;)
doczoidberg··on Formation of Tesla Advanced Automation Germany
don't forget that there are strong cooperations and they know their talents better than outsiders. They know who is how much worth.
doczoidberg··on Firebase gets better analytics, crash reporting and more
I also like firebase. Unfortunately the updates are all for mobile development and not for the web. Also there is no support for angular universal in angularfire?
