Although others have replied to you, I'll take your comment as constructive criticism. Though the tone could be better.
helloiloveyou··on A humble guide to database schema design
Author here! Ha, I'm a big follower of Patrick, specially his microconfs! I didn't know he had an article an article on the subject, thanks for linking it!

However I agree with him!

What happens is that in my experience I've yet to encouter a case where what I suggest in the blog doesn't work. No doubt that there will be cases where it will not be enough. But by reading Patrick's article, clearly the complexity of the system needed to handle all the cases would be huge! So I guess one has to compromise :)

helloiloveyou··on Show HN: Bulk Airbnb Listing Photo downloader and converter from webp to jpg
Well today I had to manually download all pictures from my listings to sync them with Booking.com and other providers like zonaprop.com And it's pretty tedious to right click to download 32 images (for a single listing) and then find a way to convert webp to jpg.
helloiloveyou··on Boeing 737 Max certification flight could come within 'a few weeks': FAA
I'd like to know what plane I'm boarding when buying plane tickets; There is no way I'm flying in a 737-800Max.

However I don't think that online services are sharing the plane model. Shouldn't I have a right to know which plane I'm flying before buying?

helloiloveyou··on Fastai: A Layered API for Deep Learning
Hi Jeremy, just wanted to say you are amazing. I've followed all your lectures and I wish I had you as a teacher for all my assignments in college. You truly have a gift to explain hard things in a very simple way. And the things you are doing with fastai are a gift to the community that is moving science forward. I'm doing my Master Thesis, and fastai is a key piece of my experiments. So again, a big thank you. Hope some day I can do a favor to you as you've done for me

helloiloveyou··on Show HN: Kareer Day – Learn About Jobs by People Who've Done Them
Really nice idea! Congrats!
helloiloveyou··on How I built my tiny SaaS from idea to first 15+ paying customers
oh please do it! so many people NEED that platform. If you want more information, for example mercadopago (the financial arm of mercadolibre) which is the leading fintech in Argentina doesn't allow charing cards from the united states (or countries outside latam). Which for SAAS is terrible
helloiloveyou··on How I built my tiny SaaS from idea to first 15+ paying customers
Two things:

- First: congratulations! your platform looks really nice!

- Second: for anyone reading, want a billion dollar idea? create a platform like stripe that works in uruguay and all latin america (stripe only has a beta in Brasil) and allows subscriptions (Paypal which the author cites, doesn't allow them, and forces him to charge a single paymet for one year)

Very creative project! Congratulations!!
helloiloveyou··on What if you couldn’t program with loops?
Hey! you are the one from the blog comment :) It must be pretty fun to create those curriculums!! I agree with you that the restriction of not using loops can also direct you to apply recursion.

However do you believe recursion makes it easier to debug certain parts of the array when you can adjust the starting and stoping points in the guard of the for loop?

helloiloveyou··on What if you couldn’t program with loops?
Exactly, thank you! I believe it is a very good exercise for when you are teaching a programming class.

Another possible exercise is to not use ifs. The way to navigate around that would be to use double dispatch. Not because of any reason of performance gain with the branch predictor like other comments mentioned, but because it adds another tool to your toolbelt

helloiloveyou··on What if you couldn’t program with loops?
Thank you! That's really what this post is about :) Facing the loop's body so many times forces you to analyze if something better can be done
helloiloveyou··on Show HN: Spektral – Deep learning on graphs with Keras
YEEES I will finally be able to complete a college assignment that I postponed
helloiloveyou··on Show HN: Shefa Products an E-commerce with dynamic pricing for WholeSalers
Hello Hacker News, this is a site I built for my family business. However I built it in a white-label way that allows me to sell the platform for other wholesalers. As of now, you can add items to a cart and get the pdf proposal with your custom pricing sent automatically to your email. I know it isn't a big project nor it is pollished, but I'm happy because I shipped it
helloiloveyou··on Shots fired at Rosario City Council: “Don’t mess with the mafia”
Completely agree. Im a software engineer and live in Argentina and host hundreds of guests through 3 airbnbs. Everybody who comes says the same thing as you
helloiloveyou··on Ask HN: Argentinean Indie Hackers how do you deal with stripe not working?
They never opened
helloiloveyou··on Ask HN: I want to create a clone of a popular software, should I?
if(user.name == duxup) {

    hires[0] = user;
    return;
}

Yes, i've built a number of projects. Maybe this can teach me something about searching across documents (pdf) and stuff.

Do you think there is space in the market? What are your favourite features of the products? (this questions goes for you and anyone who reads this)

helloiloveyou··on Ask HN: Going to lead a struggling dev team in a different culture, now what?
That seems like a very nice experience! You'll have to manage your personality to not come off as know-it-all type of guy. The best I can tell you is to try to understand each one of the developers as a person with feelings and explain everything with love. That never fails. Also How to win friends and Influence people is a book that couldn't be more special to this situation.
helloiloveyou··on Ask HN: How to monetize a list of more than 10000 software companies?
