mmaia··on Show HN: Best Visa Jobs – curated jobs from top companies that sponsor visas
I worked for a company like this. Usually their range is not the same as SF or NYC, but some less expensive US city.

Try looking for "location agnostic" companies or companies without "location factor".

btw, it would make a great section on Awesome Remote Job [1]

I believe H1 employer data is public [1], and many sites make it more accessible. For example, [2] [3]

mmaia··on Show HN: Efficient Data Formats for GPT
Thanks for sharing this. I'm currently using JSON/JSON Schema and will consider switching to YAML.
mmaia··on Show HN: Reimagine any home for sale – your AI powered interior designer
I have a hard time seeing the potential of empty homes for sale when looking at the ads. This is very helpful.
mmaia··on Show HN: Zapier's first API
Zapier's landing page doesn't live up to what they're releasing. Be sure to check out the LangChain integration and examples.

mmaia··on GitHub Copilot X – Sign up for technical preview
Huge impact for commercial open source projects. I'm thinking that it could even change incentives for companies to open source more projects.

Thanks!

Does it support modules from the Redis Stack, like RediSearch?

Here's the issue tracking the current hosted options:

mmaia··on Talk-to-ChatGPT
Awesome. I saw someone asking for this feature to practice other languages just yesterday.

In Firefox, it only supports reading which is already cool.

Here's a CDN script in case someone wants to load it in JS Console:

mmaia··on CustomGPT
Check OpeanAI's tutorials [1] and cookbook [2]. Or try LangChain [3], which abstracts a lot of the work.

mmaia··on Show HN: Dynamic UI Generation with GPT
No, it's a personal project of mine.
mmaia··on Show HN: Sketch – AI code-writing assistant that understands data content
A lot of people already uses excelformulabot. The impact of something integrated into Excel would be pretty big.
mmaia··on Show HN: Sketch – AI code-writing assistant that understands data content
Very promising. I believe the uses of OpenAI that will stick in the long term are like this, and other tools should be experimenting with this kind of integration.

Otherwise, there's room for other solutions, as airops sidekick [1] that uses browser extensions to embed itself in other data tools.

mmaia··on Show HN: Slashbase – open-source collaborative IDE for databases in browser
Very interesting project. Looks like you are going in the direction of an open source PopSQL instead of something like dbeaver and I really like it.

+1 on the opt-in telemetry
mmaia··on Gitlab and remote work
GitLab doesn't charge based on the location of their customers.
mmaia··on Ask HN: How can I calculate my market value?
That's an important point. You need to be on people's minds when they start to recruit. Your market value changes because they want you. E.g., Do people you worked with in the past try to recruit you? If not, try to acknowledge why and work on improving.
mmaia··on Grouparoo: Open-source app to sync customer data with 3rd party tools
In my experience this scenario is very accurate. Add to it the growing usage of tools like Pipedrive, Pipefy, Airtable, that sometimes prod-eng team is not even aware.

As a Rudder and Fivetran user, I can see a very complementary use case for Grouparoo. Where the first two are responsible for unifying events and external data in the DW and Grouparoo to sync user data to other tools.

Two other tools that I saw in this space (not Open Source): https://www.calixa.io/ https://windsor.io/

mmaia··on Show HN: Tapioca – Open-source Slack bot for team bonding during quarantine
Tapioca is an open-source [1] slack bot aimed at helping teams overcome the challenges created by social distancing.

It works inside of Slack. Once installed, Tapioca automatically creates chat groups between employees and suggests conversation topics to help break the ice.

To be eligible for a group, all a user needs to do is join the Tapioca channel. Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, Tapioca will randomly group teammates and invite them to chat.

We developed Tapioca to help facilitate communication across our company and help our team to overcome the social barriers of isolation. We hope it can help other startups too.

Sidewalk Labs (an Alphabet Inc.'s company) has some demos at https://s2.sidewalklabs.com/

mmaia··on Ask HN: Simple, beginner friendly ETL / Data Engineering project ideas?
I find ETL best practices with Airflow a good start. Even if you don't go the Airflow route, you can benefit from the example implementations of Kimball and Data Vault ETLs.

mmaia··on Show HN: transit.js
Nice. I'll try it. But it would be great if you could parse data directly from GTFS.
mmaia··on Hacker News was down
I have a HN bot and looks like that the big outage was from 08:30 to 12:38 UTC with some minor (10-15 min) downtimes afterwards.

mmaia··on MTurk + Google News API = press
Really nice!

That's pretty much the process I used to launch some apps -- except that I like to get the contacts myself and read some other articles from the person, so I can add a personal touch to the emails (it will increase your chances with the top journalists).

After successfully using this method, I'm building http://get.press.io

mmaia··on Well, that's one SEO hack... (view-source)
Some companies do that with http headers (e.g. Zappos, SEOmoz, GigaOM)
mmaia··on Show HN: I just released Sleek, a Ruby gem for doing simple analytics
Nice. Seems like a very good start for that framework.

It reminds me of https://keen.io/ and looks like you have a lot of the stuff there.

Keep the good work!
