wingshayzon Funds of every Trust Wallet browser extension could have been stolen

Do you really think inflation is the government's way of stealing from the population?

I don't get it..

wingshayzon Ask HN: Where are the good platforms for contract work?

I think you've just had a bad experience with recruiters. To me that's exactly what they do, helping you find the best position and taking a cut for it

wingshayzon Ask HN: How do you host cheap relational databases?

Wow nice how did I not know that? 10GB for $15 is perfect, thanks a bunch

wingshayzon Ask HN: How do you host cheap relational databases?

True that could work. The overhead is what I'd like to avoid, but if it were minimal I'd take that over a giant cloud bill. Thanks

wingshayzon Ask HN: Do you use foreign keys in relational databases?

It would seem a bit crazy to me to ditch FKs for that reason. Why not just drop the constraint? I would much rather keep my data integrity.

The issue with managing the relationship just in code is if you ship a bug to break the relationship, you now have to manually fix your data, and if you want to find out when or where the bug was introduced, you're looking at commit history instead of a migration history. Same thing when it comes to making manual updates or adds in the db. Even if it's just on a dev stage, if your code makes an assumption about the constraint which isn't true, you can end up with bugs or exceptions on dev, which is also annoying. If you want to remove the assumption of the relationship from the code entirely, that would be more understandable, but not if instead it means replacing what would be an efficient constraint and join with a separate query.

wingshayzon Stable Diffusion is a big deal

Some of the tech and especially the platform they're building is impressive, but in terms of raw image generation quality from results I've seen and my own experience, I don't find it anything close to DALLE-2

wingshayzon Tips for Developers Who Want to Build a SaaS Startup

Absolutely, this is probably the most important thing a founder can do

wingshayzon Tips for Developers Who Want to Build a SaaS Startup

I think the author is making some huge generalisations here.

"Don’t pick something that needs a pretty UI": What if I'm really skilled in UI dev and have a good visual eye? Or a friend happy to do some free mockups?

"In-person sales are very weird for the developer personality": there is no one developer personality, I wouldn't rule this out at all.

"You don’t want to be going around talking to actual humans.": this is almost never going to work for a startup. Actually talking to people (users, clients, integration partners) is probably the most important thing you can do as a founder.
