    I wonder how hard it would be to use AI to generatively interpolate the images so it could be a video stream.

    I'm working on an app to address this issue. While putting a cost calculation is a good way to raise awareness, we take a different approach to a solution. It's called Meet Robbie …

    Thanks! This has potential. I'll play around with this when I have some time.

    Thank you! That's a good idea. I have fields for user_id and organization_id that I omitted. What would you rename type to? Now here's what I'm thinking id: uuid | name: string (ex…

    Ask HN: Is this a good table schema for handling third party integrations?

    Hello! I have to build out support for various integrations to third party services like calendars, task management systems, email etc. I'm just looking for some feedback open the …

    Yes I started using this in the past year. It dramatically sped up my watch/test cycle on mac. It seems like something that shouldn't be necessary on Mac with docker so I hope they…

    I don't really find these considerations frustrating just a bit tricky but regardless definitely agree with GDPR and on board with keeping PII secure from the get go. I'm still hav…

    Mainly portability of data and options for the future. I'm all on one postgres instance right now and don't plan on breaking it up until necessary. If at some point I need to take …

    I'm really not sure what google is thinking with this one. It's not the biggest money maker but google domains is viable and a really easy to use product. Wondering what other core…

    I'm not so much concerned with figuring out scaling in terms of volume as I expect to be able to handle millions of rows in a single DB and that would be an implementation detail a…

    I'm simplifying a bit for brevity and we can do some abstraction to handle it so it's not that the framework is simplistic. I'm just having trouble justifying adding this complexit…

    This was generally the reason I went with numeric ID as PK originally. It makes working with and analyzing the data as well as cross referencing relations easier. For all my tables…

    Comment #36432708

    I think you raise some good questions around IDs and PII and we definitely will be tackling GDPR sooner or later. I don't quite follow on the European regulation issues raised by u…

    Probably when there is some downtime or as the opportunity presents. I would use a date field to do ordering or a sequenced field when needed.

    Comment #36431163

    I actually have been using a combination of a numeric integer ID as the PK and a UUID as a lookup field to do routing lookups etc. for this purpose in Postgres backed app I'm worki…

    Is there a reason web scrapers aren't used for public sites with content? It seems like this would avoid the pitfalls of APIs and changing terms and prices?

    It seems this is a case of poor decision and communication management rather than a machiavellian plot, however, it's no less harmful or toxic in the outcome. I'm actually working …

    Same thoughts here. I think it's great that people can make extensions and apps for new and varied experiences, but the current HN is dang near perfect IMHO. Simple, intuitive, fas…

    It's natural to take criticism of your work personally so I think the first thing is to accept the initial emotional reaction as "ok" and not something to beat yourself up about. T…

    Good point. "communication" should also be on the list. I don't think storage is technically the tradeoff in this case even though it's S3. It's the traffic between those component…

    Breaking things into tiny functions and putting them on many different servers incurs tradeoff costs in both complexity and compute. There is a complexity cost in having to deal wi…
