shbhrsaha··on Ask HN: Static Site (not blog) Generator?
I recently used Astro [0] to make TrumpOrderTracker.com [1] and it was a great experience. It can definitely handle much more than just blogs.

Nope, it happens on the server via the API at https://beta.dreamstudio.ai/
shbhrsaha··on Show HN: CSVFiddle – Query CSV files with DuckDB in the browser
Hey HN,

I made CSVFiddle because I wanted a quick way to query CSV files with SQL and share the results with other people.

The app runs 100% in-browser, so the data you import and the queries you write are never sent to a web server. When you share the URL to a workspace, all of its queries and references to CSV files are just encoded in the URL fragment.

In-browser querying is made possible by DuckDB-Wasm, which has been an awesome project to work with:

https://duckdb.org/2021/10/29/duckdb-wasm.html

There are definitely limitations with CSVFiddle (e.g. sometimes the auto-parsing feature doesn't accurately interpret the imported files), but so far it's been useful for a range of data tasks.

shbhrsaha··on Ask HN: How to organize personal knowledge?
For personal notes, check out Nvalt [0]. The search is blazing fast. I linked it with SimpleNote [1] so changes sync instantly between my laptop and phone. It also plays well with the Typora [2] markdown editor

Thanks for the shoutout! Glad you enjoyed it.
shbhrsaha··on Software engineers should write
Great point! Completely overlooked that aspect.
shbhrsaha··on Reverse-engineering the Kayak app with mitmproxy
Appreciate your kind words.

Have you set up your UUID and HASH according to the post? You'll actually need to run the app through mitmproxy yourself to get your unique credentials. Then, just drop those into the variables at the top of the script.

I just added some error handling to the script to make this a bit more obvious!

shbhrsaha··on Show HN: An open-source, Raspberry-Pi-based Siri alternative
Thanks! Yes, we'll be sure to clear that up-- the binaries were for a few CMUCLTK and Phonetisaurus libraries that were difficult to compile on Raspberry Pi.

Sure, the music is from http://www.jamendo.com/, where some tracks can be used for non-commercial purposes.

Thanks. Depends on the conditions, but works most of the time around 10-15 feet away!

The client code at https://github.com/jasperproject/jasper-client comprises all of the source. The modified Raspbian distribution linked to in the Software Guide only includes supporting libraries and some configuration files.

Yes you're right, it works absolutely fine over a wired connection, WiFi adapter not required.
