xrendan··on Amazon Sends ‘Vote No’ Instructions to Unionizing Employees
I'd assume Canada since up here we've got a weird mix of americanisms and britishisms. Also, the state/province gives a bit away.
xrendan··on Show HN: Test your Gitlab CI Pipelines changes locally using Docker
We do this but with makefiles to contain whatever CI logic which also makes it easy to switch.

This is my first time hearing about H2, what's the benefit of H2 over sqlite?
xrendan··on Next.js Commerce store, one-click deploy to Netlify
Easy for deploying different stages with different build parameters, less of a PITA than the AWS S3 + cloudfront distributions. It's annoying though that we've basically been forced to use their DNS solution since we need custom URLs for branch deploys.

I didn't have any issues with buy-in since we were only a few people at the time and basically got the ok as long as there wasn't any downtime in the transition (which there wasn't).

xrendan··on Show HN: Axiom – No-code Browser Automation
How easy is it to customize data output? If I have a JSON Schema I want to conform to that requires collecting data from multiple linked pages, is it possible to do that?

xrendan··on Valve's Proton Has Brought 6000 Windows Games to Linux So Far
I was unaware, I just assumed that it was running on proton since I was having issues with it. But the culprit to it not working was having some mods enabled that disabled the menu when running on Linux. Thanks for getting me to take another crack at getting it running!
xrendan··on Valve's Proton Has Brought 6000 Windows Games to Linux So Far
It apparently does, I just assumed that it was running on proton since I was having issues with it. But the culprit to it not working was having some mods enabled that disabled the menu when running on Linux. Thanks for getting me to take another crack at getting it running!
xrendan··on Valve's Proton Has Brought 6000 Windows Games to Linux So Far
You guys are the best, I had gone through all the debugging steps awhile ago including what you put there (which was required for me). But the culprit to it not working was having some mods enabled that disabled the menu when running on Linux. Thanks for getting me to take another crack at getting it running!
xrendan··on Valve's Proton Has Brought 6000 Windows Games to Linux So Far
What distro are you using for Linux? Civ 6 is literally the only reason I keep my Windows partition and I can't get civ 6 to work with Proton.
xrendan··on Stripe raises $600M at nearly $36B valuation
Canada if you want to pay the Interac (our debit system).
xrendan··on GitHub has completed its acquisition of NPM
Who pays for that decentralized infrastructure though?
xrendan··on Uber wants to redefine employment, labor groups are fighting back
Eh, a significant portion of the first problem is solved by simply having single payer healthcare like most developed countries (except the States) has.
xrendan··on GitHub blocked me and all my libraries
What GitHub did wasn't shadowbanning though. They had a banner for him that said the account was flagged. Should they have sent an email? Absolutely, but that's not a shadowban.
xrendan··on Open letter from Italy to the international scientific community
I was looking at the numbers for today (because I was curious about the U of A which has gone fully remote for course and exam delivery). There's a model in here https://medium.com/@tomaspueyo/coronavirus-act-today-or-peop... that you can plug numbers into. I would say work from home though, you'll feel absolutely devastated if one of your employees falls ill and you were the cause. Trust them to do their work remotely and they will reward that trust.
xrendan··on Launch HN: Castodia (YC W20) – Populate Google Sheets from databases
We looked at building a two-way sync tool in Google sheets to test out an MVP instead of building some custom tool and it was a shitshow from a data synchronization standpoint figuring out how to keep the state of each in sync is very hard. We abandoned the idea pretty quickly.

For problem (2), I'm not sure if you're directly returning data from lambda or if you're using lambda to use the sheets API to update the sheet after the data is returned.

If it's the first one, there's no way around it since lambda functions called through API Gateway have the 30 second timeout that you're running into. If it's the second you should be able to use two lambdas one as one that ingests the requests and adds it to a queue, and the second one (which can have up to a 15 minute timeout) that consumes the queue.
