go_prodev··on Show HN: Non.io, a Reddit-like platform Ive been working on for the last 4 years
I like the monetization model and wish you the best of luck.

IIRC, the get paid to post model can make users feel like they are working which can have negative consequences. Deal with that later... hopefully you can get traction/network effect.

go_prodev··on Woman with untreated TB finally in custody – held in “negative pressure” room
As a non American, I wonder if she refused treatment because of the cost? The article didn't mention the options they gave her.
go_prodev··on Had a call with Reddit to discuss pricing
Just out of curiosity, what do you plan to use for news/entertainment instead? I don't use Facebook, and generally alternate between HN and Reddit whenever I need a break from work and don't know any other good options.
go_prodev··on Changing my mind on remote, moving the team back to San Francisco
I've just started another week of 14 hour days, working 100% remote from a different continent. My productivity is 200% what it was in the office. Even less busy periods are more effective from home.

A typical 9 hour day in the office was broken into 2 team coffee breaks, meetings, lots of distracting conversation and a feeling of low productivity at the end of each day.

Having said that, OP is in an extremely competitive space and appears to be building an AI tool, similar to recent features in Office and G suite, so it makes some sense to steer the ship together and focus 100%.... But they're going to take a hit in the short term, getting everyone to relocate, replacing people who don't move, onboarding etc. Seems like 2 steps backwards to me.

go_prodev··on TikTok Owner Had 'Backdoor' for CCP Access to US Data, Lawsuit Alleges
Banning TikTok until it minimizes tracking pushes the blame onto TikTok (unfairly IMHO). Apps all have the same Android/iOS permissions to work with, so if there's really a problem, the Govt should consult with OS vendors on tightening controls across the board.
go_prodev··on SQL:2023 is finished: Here is what's new
Any_Value is a strange addition. I'm struggling to think of a scenario where I need a value from a group of records, but don't care which one.

Why not just use min, max or even row_number to specify an order? If the value isn't important, do you really need to present it?

go_prodev··on AI won't steal your job, people leveraging AI will
3. Virtual people. AI pretending to be human to prevent humans from taking their job.
go_prodev··on Launch HN: Outerbase (YC W23) – A new UI and editor for your database
In an earlier comment you mentioned evolving into a BI dashboarding tool. I'm interested to learn more about this roadmap and how you'd differentiate yourself from Power BI and Tableau?
go_prodev··on Show HN: Lost Pixel Platform – visual regression testing for your front end
I made one of these for Power BI that highlights visual changes in dashboard versions, and TIL it's called Visual Regression Testing.
go_prodev··on Missing radioactive capsule found in WA outback after frantic search
Having recently learned about their pretty ambitious emissions targets I disagree with you.

I think they are strongly responding to a shift in higher demand for carbon neutral materials with their big clients. I read about a sustainability labelling of Aluminium using Blockchain technology and it sounds like they're quite invested in green tech...a flip from the mining companies of yore

go_prodev··on Ask HN: What sub $200 product improved your 2022
Under $200 would be: - a monitor arm to free up desk space - a Wacom tablet for virtual whiteboard diagrams - a coffee warmer for my desk
go_prodev··on Unovis: Data visualization for React, Angular, Svelte, TypeScript, JavaScript
Yes, same here. I'd love an open source Power BI alternative.
go_prodev··on US scientists make breakthrough in fusion energy
"...the exact yield is still being determined and we can’t confirm that it is over the threshold at this time."

“That analysis is in process, so publishing the information . . . before that process is complete would be inaccurate"

Yet it still hits the tabloids.

go_prodev··on Retool Workflows: Cron, but Better
Unfortunately even if this were 1000x better than Power Automate, my (large) company would never switch. We're just too invested in MS.

With Microsoft slowly providing utilities for everything, how do companies compete now?

go_prodev··on Apple’s next big thing: A business model change
They are nothing like Google and have proven that over time. But they don't need to be because people trust them.

Many moons ago I worked for a large online gambling provider. They worked tirelessly to make their company trustworthy, make their games entertaining, and build relationships with their high rollers. Internally, they had strategies to squeeze as much money from every user as possible without causing distress. It was quite eye opening and I can't help but draw parallels between them and Apple.

go_prodev··on Apple’s Use of AppKit, Mac Catalyst and SwiftUI in macOS
I get Windows 8 flashbacks
go_prodev··on MegaPortraits: One-Shot Megapixel Neural Head Avatars
What if AI could respond to everyone sharing the experience in the room?

A group of friends all contributing in some way. Afterwards discussing the parts of the film that they might have been responsible for willing into existence.

go_prodev··on MegaPortraits: One-Shot Megapixel Neural Head Avatars
Thanks for the recommendation!
go_prodev··on MegaPortraits: One-Shot Megapixel Neural Head Avatars
Why stop there?

How long until AI can measure my brain response and adjust the script in real time to make the film less predictable, more exciting, relaxing, humorous or engaging based on how I'm feeling?

It's not a massive leap from what you described.

go_prodev··on Designing a better pricing page
Sounds interesting, I'll check it out thanks
go_prodev··on Designing a better pricing page
Someone should start a SAAS business that generates pricing pages, with automatic customer price optimization.
go_prodev··on Tesla is no longer the largest EV producer
What are these tests really trying to prove though?

90+ degrees C (194 F) for 408 hours is their "lowest" intensity test. That's 17 days of continuous solar radiation for 24 hours per day, which is hardly a consumer grade test.

go_prodev··on Show HN: PRQL 0.2 – a better SQL
I agree with you that it's a pain writing join conditions with many fields...

But I think that's a shortcoming of the client tool, rather than the language.

If SQL tools auto completed the join conditions as best as they could it would probably be a great help.

go_prodev··on Show HN: PRQL 0.2 – a better SQL
> How can you ensure that a school is either a college or high_school but not both?

Do you have any real world scenarios where you've faced this problem?

In your example, you wouldn't model it like that. A school just needs an attribute that identifies the type of school (high school or college), and other attributes that would be common to both.

I'm sure there's lots of examples but it's late and I'm struggling to think of one that a good normalized data model couldn't handle.

go_prodev··on Show HN: Data Diff – compare tables of any size across databases
If you install Visual Studio Community edition you can do free cross server MSSQL data validation and syncing using a "database project". It won't be as flexible, or as scalable, as the Data Diff tool advertised though.
go_prodev··on Show HN: Grid.js – Advanced table library that works everywhere (2020)
I'd consider using this in place of the built-in Vuetify data table because of your resizable columns and fixed headers.

Virtual Scrolling might be the deciding factor though. Is this supported? I couldn't find anything in the docs (on mobile)

go_prodev··on Almost all searches on my independent search engine are now from SEO spam bots
Deliberately feeding the spam bots into an endless loop of captchas might slowly drain their accounts if they are paying 3rd party captcha farms.
go_prodev··on Friendlier SQL with DuckDB
EXCEPT columns would get my vote for ansi standard SQL adoption. So much time is spent selecting all but a few columns.
go_prodev··on Everything with a battery should have an off switch
That must be frustrating, but was quite funny to read.

I would happily invest in kitchen appliances that have a silent mode for apartments and shared living spaces.

My microwave beeps at the end, and then beeps again 10 minutes later once the food has been removed. My old toaster beeped 5 times when the toast popped, which is unnecessary when the popping action is loud on it's own.

go_prodev··on The UX of Paid Journalism
In June California will enact Assembly Bill 390 which requires subscription services to offer a means of unsubscribing online.

I'm curious to see if WSJ adds an online unsubscribe option, and what impact it has on their subscriber count.

(I'm not from US, so unclear on the full details)
