Hi HN! I made and just published v0.0.1 of DbDeclare. I use Python a lot, and interact with Postgres a lot. I like using SQLAlchemy, and I love Alembic. Those wonderful tools prima…

My last place of work was very open and understanding about mental health. If someone was having a tough time, they were supported, deadlines were pushed back if needed, there was …

Interesting okay. Is a combo of paper and automated counting not ideal then? To my mind automatic counting is probably great for the speed you mentioned, and I'm sure those who hav…

Why are they always a bad idea in your view? I'd imagine that they're quite nice from the point of view of those who run elections and actually have to count them. I'd love to hear…

Is a paper-vote a reference to literally marking a piece of paper, or a human counting said piece of paper? Sorry if that's a dumb question, just want to make sure I follow. It see…

A lot of skepticism and negativity here, with a focus on "open source means something to me, not the layman" as well as mentions of is that really helpful, is it auditable, etc. Va…

Yeah as some of the responses to your reply said, agreed, and I've always found value in unit tests, and the "too many deployments and not enough development" comment from jsight r…

Big +1 to “ Never give up on local testing”. The current code base I’m dealing with has many tests that require interaction with a dev environment on the cloud, and occasionally th…

I see and hear a lot of complaints around inheriting code bases that are less than stellar. If anyone has, I'd love to hear about cases where you inherited a "good" code base, what…

Hah tried to post this and it didn't work, glad for the confirmation. Not sure if its the right place to look, but https://stackstatus.net/ is also not working for me.

I found the author to have cherry-picked and poorly-cited information earlier on in the book when talking about antidepressants, and then a complete lack of rigor when discussing t…

I, a fairly average and not at all notable software engineer, receive anywhere between 1 and 7 emails from people claiming to be recruiters with addresses that end in @amazon.com e…

I know there's discussion around RSS readers every here or there on HN. I'm curious about how many of you (especially those of you who write code) interact with publishing to or su…

This happening for other folks? Happened to me briefly yesterday too.

I listen to a lot of podcasts, and I think this is really really cool. Would certainly become a better and better experience (I think?) as more people leave comments on episodes.

I’m not sure, I don’t publish one for Safari! Good question, I’m sure someone else here with more experience would know.

I’m also late 20s, have enjoyed some startup chaos, and have come to similar points regarding contentment derived from relationships and coming to terms with my limits and finitude…

I’m in the same boat and feel the same. It’s just not a great state of things for extension development, and yeah the separate Firefox and Chrome code in my codebase truly irks me.…

I have a browser extension on the Chrome and Firefox stores. I know I can check for new downloads and active users via the UI, but I’d love to access that same data programmaticall…

Thanks for sharing f5bot, that is a wonderful service to learn about. Exactly what I was looking for!
