Don't do this! Sleep tracking/optimisation and generally obsessing over sleep can trigger insomnia for a lot of people.

I've had chronic insomnia for two years and I wouldn't wish it upon my worst enemy. If your sleep is good enough, leave it alone.

I looked for a simple solution to this recently and I couldn't find one. It would be great if implicit SQL queries that occur as a result of missing out either select_related() or prefetch_related() would generate a console warning.

I think this should be the default behaviour given that most beginning Django developers fall into this trap.

This is pretty much in line with what I observed a few days ago when my post[1] reached the top of the front page here.

Google Analytics reports 10k uniques vs. 35k in Netlify's server-side analytics.

I'm afraid someone pipped you by a few months: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=463793

Author of the article here. I would love to run an unbiased analysis on that, but it would tricky to list and identify all of the companies that flopped.

I guess you could grab a list of every successful and defunct company listed on Crunchbase/AngelList/etc, but there would still be bias, as flopped companies may never have got to the point of creating a profile there, or they scrubbed the profile later.

I suspect the folks over at Coinbase would beg to differ.

Author here. I agree with you but the only recent HN data dump that I could find contained posts and not comments. I suspect the trend lines would look similar though.

Hey everyone. I'm the founder of Rephonic which is a tool that makes it easy to find to find and pitch podcasts for your marketing campaigns.

Rephonic collects millions of connections between podcasts from the 'Listeners Also Subscribed To' data that's displayed in Apple Podcasts. This tells you, for most shows, which other podcasts share a similar audience.

This discovery tool uses that data to suggest new podcasts that you might love.

What happens when you try it? I was able to get it to work: https://rephonic.com/tools/podcast-reach/history

What a great question! It's using those descriptions to surface podcasts that frequently mention those topics, yes.

If you have a healthy churn rate (say 5% or less) and you're getting some residual number of signups every month through SEO or some other passive channel, then theoretically you could coast for a long time. The obvious downside being that your competitors may eat your lunch.

Yes the 15-20 min rule helps a lot! I tried a morning coffee again recently (I miss it) but it messed up my sleep that night. But that could be due to my mind playing its tricks on me rather than the caffeine remaining in my system.

CBT-i more or less fixed me too. It should be noted that sleep restriction (the practice you're describing here) is only part of CBT-i but it seems to be the most important.

I also gave up coffee and I stop looking at screens 30-60 mins before my bed time. Before the therapy ~30% of my nights were sleepless.

This article helped a lot: http://ilya.sukhar.com/blog/an-algorithmic-solution-to-insom...

Yes. My point is that I find stepping through code (e.g. using pdb) to be overkill in most cases.

Yes I'm aware of this.

No, but I rarely find it helpful to step through code. That's the other 2%.

I've been a Python developer for more than ten years. Approximately 98% of the time I need to debug something I use print() statements and this:

  import IPython; IPython.embed()

Hey everyone. I made this because I got tired of hearing "If you enjoyed this episode, don't forget to leave us a review wherever you listen to podcasts."

I hope this is useful to any podcasters who happen to read HN.

It's taking your location and heading and using lat/long coordinates returned by the Wikipedia API to try to figure out where those articles are in relation to you.

It really depends on the smartphone you have. It's simply opening the article inside a web browser embedded in the app.

Sorry about that. Could you let me know the OS and browser versions you're on?

This is interesting, thanks. I'm seeing the same behaviour here - very few teams use it to hang out while they work, they're typically using to jump on ad-hoc video/audio calls or screen share.

Not too much. Slack has built-in video calling features already and what I'm doing is outside of their core focus. But it's a possibility.

Discord was certainly an inspiration here, as well as the now-defunct Sqwiggle. I'm seeing some teams using it like that, but most of them like to jump in-and-out of the room during the day as needed.

I can relate to this! There's a slight misconception about this being 'always-on'. It's supposed to get across that the rooms are always available to use and that the URL doesn't change.

I need to work on the copy.

Founder here - yes I can appreciate that. I'm a fan of deep work. I've found that most teams jump in-and-out of rooms during the day and the original idea of hanging out together while you work hasn't really materialised.

Author here. The original inspiration for this came from working remotely for 7 years and feeling occasionally lonely and isolated. I wanted to create a frictionless, always-on video room for your team to hang out in while you work. But I've found that so far most teams use it for stand-ups.

Feedback is much appreciated!

Yes it does allow you to open multiple channels at the same time. I don't know how useful that is, but I'd like to see how people actually use it before jumping to my own conclusions.

The idle state is definitely something I'm considering for bandwidth and privacy reasons. Sqwiggle (now defunct) did this quite well. I'm also thinking about adding a way to pixelate or blur your feed while still remaining 'present'.
