rp36on Ingesting PDFs and why Gemini 2.0 changes everything

I'm failing to understanding the Ingesting part of the Gemini 2.0? Does Gemini provide the a process to convert PDFs to Markdown API OR the LLM APIs handle it with prompt "Extract the Attached PDF" using this API: https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/document-processing?la...

rp36on Tremor – The React library to build dashboards fast

As per refine.dev blog, these are some alternatives to Tremor:

* Ant design pro (https://github.com/ant-design/ant-design-pro/) * Material Dashboard React (https://github.com/creativetimofficial/material-dashboard-re...) * Volt React (https://github.com/themesberg/volt-react-dashboard)

Anyone have more suggestions?

rp36on Ask HN: Do you log your customer activity data?

Anything that includes PII should be redacted or ignored. Most log libraries not support it or able to extend them. Once the logs goes to external platforms or archives, its will require additional effort to maintain the data/privacy. Also, logging should be minimal required and continually should be re-evaluated, so old/unnecessary logging can be eliminated.

Nice work. Questions: 1) What is the minified size of the library 2) Is there a kitchen sink app to review all features together?

rp36on Show HN: ShapeForm – Schema Driven Forms for React

If you look through the slides mentioned by the author (https://shape-form-talk.netlify.com/), comparison is provided for redux-form and react-jsonschema-form. They had to create it to support multi-part forms, redux, easy customizations without bootstrap.

rp36on Why Medium Sucks

Does Medium support exporting publication? I can export my posts but does not appear the entire publication can be exported or has API support. If anyone have looked into it, appreciate the tips.

rp36on Eliminating Robocalls

Interestingly, Robocall algorithms use phone numbers closer to my phone number (either real of fake) and since I live in different Area code, it is much easier to block the numbers.

Though it is not recommended to pick up the phone, I have had some success by picking up the phone, wasting the agent's time and letting them know that my car is real old and would not need extended warranty.

rp36on High-Memory Instances and $5 Linodes

I recently switched from DigitalOcean to Linode and could easily shave off 20% bill. The migration of VM was much easier than I expected (use rsync - https://lowendbox.com/blog/how-to-migrate-a-hosted-server-in...). My only complain is, I would like to take multiple manual backups even if it costed little extra.
