interactivecode··on Show HN: Instantly search 28M books from OpenLibrary
@jabo is it possible to connect typesense (or any other instance search provider) to a postgresql instance and have it “just work”?
interactivecode··on LuckysheetServer – Google Sheets-like realtime collaborative spreadsheet
@alexliu518 do you have an example for a Vue.js + Node.js backend with simple saving and updating? Is this possible or do I need to run the Java backend + services?
interactivecode··on How to Think for Yourself
While I agree holding your own views and opinions help with doing something novel and different. I do feel like articles like this are mostly used to cover up and excuse hostility, bad work environments and Jobs esque management styles.

You can have groundbreaking ideas without "disrupting" every single part of your work life. Assuming large groups of people can't think for themselves is both short sighted and insulting. Not everyone is in the position to push their views on their environment without repercussions.

I'm pretty sure a janitor or administrator can think for themselves really well. It's their bosses that limit their subordinates, not the employees limiting themselves.

interactivecode··on Ask HN: Will Apple M1 mean better support for Raspberry Pi?
Do you think they can make a Pi Hackingtosh now?
interactivecode··on Show HN: I created a URL shortener that can be entirely hosted on GitHub Pages
even though this isn't really a constructive comment, most of that package-lock.json is build tools. If you remove those and only install production packages it's 27 lines: https://gist.github.com/StefKors/3b43896467d05cb1fb693ed0da9...
interactivecode··on Why can't we download data from screen time feature on Apple devices?
You could always send a GDPR request since they probably store it on their servers?
interactivecode··on The new pricing model for Travis CI
Would you be willing to share some easy improvements that could be made? How can a large amount of tests run so much faster?
interactivecode··on Dutch state fighting open-hardware movement
Hello there from a (fellow) Dutch person,

If I understand it correctly: The Dutch government tried a similar project. Failed. Then based on seeing your open source project they are starting a company to monetize the open source project you proved works?

Perhaps I'm missing some information but isn't this the whole purpose of open source that anyone can use it to build anything? (and the purpose of patents to restrict other (for profit) organizations to use your IP?)

interactivecode··on IKEA to buy back used furniture in recycling push
where did you buy oak made furniture? in my experience most furniture of a similar price is worse than IKEA not better
interactivecode··on Ask HN: Is there a Hacker News style community for indie game developers?
https://itch.io/community ?
interactivecode··on Apple’s dongle problem isn’t getting any better
To solve point NR2 you can use https://rectangleapp.com/ and bind it to the keyboard shortcuts you are used to. FYI you can also switch the location of the command, option and alt keys if you prefer the windows layout in: System Preferences > keyboard > modifier keys
interactivecode··on Netlify was down
If there is an way to plug and play a netlify / heroku deployment flow on my own server I would. I'm a developer to build websites, not a sys admin or dev ops.
interactivecode··on Show HN: Mimestream, a native macOS email client for Gmail
Installed it but really miss the same categories as above! hopefully this can be added soon.
interactivecode··on The longest train ride in the world (2019)
Does anyone know the best directish train route from Amsterdam to Athens?
interactivecode··on Show HN: Dropbase 2.0 – Turn offline files into live databases
I've been looking at a spreadsheet to API like GUI interface for quite a while now. Mainly for small projects around the house NOT company sized work.

Does anyone know of a self-hosted interface like Dropbase or Airtable?

interactivecode··on Ask HN: Send.firefox.com has been down for weeks. What are viable alternatives?
selfhosting? https://github.com/mozilla/send
interactivecode··on How long does a freezer stay frozen when the power goes out?
that is a child problem not a stove problem
interactivecode··on Launch HN: BaseDash (YC S20) – Edit your database with the ease of a spreadsheet
could we self host this for DIY/home use?
interactivecode··on Nano 5.0
how far can you go? I've been on the lookout for a friendly vim like editor. at the same time I really like a IDE features
interactivecode··on Things I wish I’d known about CSS
Most designs and typography are referenced of a basic unit, the body font size. Setting that size once and using rem makes it easier to build out and change.
interactivecode··on GitHub was down
The advice is to buy a quality SD card and backup data that shouldn't be lost to a more reliable location. S3 bucket, a local NAS or something like that. The general idea with Pi's and IoT devices is to act more as input point for data or programmable controllers rather than reliable networked storage or server space.

also Pi4 now supports boot from USB: https://www.tomshardware.com/how-to/boot-raspberry-pi-4-usb

interactivecode··on Healthy Self-Doubt
Here is the thing, it's not very accepted or welcomed to have a lack of skills and knowledge in any paid work. So if you don't have some or all skills for the job you are in, how do you reconcile that?
interactivecode··on Pandemic speeds largest test yet of universal basic income
As I understand it, the basic income idea is based on that realistically almost everyone at some point uses government aid or finances (directly or indirectly). basic income is just making sure that when you need to make use of that aid, you don't have to jump through hoops, requirements and paperwork.

By giving everyone enough to live and not starve, you can do that. Without needing bureaucracy. It goes together with other great ideas like a minimum livable wage[0], pensions, public education and public healthcare.

If we are the rich west, why can't we just take care of everyone? we'll still be plenty productive. And if you want more go work, go study, go for competitive jobs.

interactivecode··on Major Linux Problems on the Desktop, 2020 edition
this is about scaling issues :facepalm:
interactivecode··on Remote work has its perks, until you want a promotion
It is, you are putting your own issue in higher regard just because you don't know someone else’s situation.

When working remotely think ahead and assume your issue/question isn’t as important as you think it is. Because most of the time questions for colleagues aren't as urgent for anyone except you.

interactivecode··on Tell HN: Interviewed with Triplebyte? Your profile is about to become public
Hey Ammon, the idea is good, it's solid. Nothing bad there. I think everyone knows LinkedIn has it's issues. But like come on. Why make everyone's private job search public? by default no less!?

How can we trust triplebite with our career, finance information and personal information when you pull these kinds of moves. Make a good product. If it's actually good people will sign up.

interactivecode··on Prettifying Org Mode with CSS
I've been trying to do PDF output, from a webpage, basically the saving the output of CMD-P and save as PDF.

Do you have a good method for this?

interactivecode··on Show HN: Caddy 2
Soo who is building a UI for caddy servers?
interactivecode··on Agile's early evangelists wouldn't mind watching Agile die
With these things the reality of agile is within corporate constraints. The Big managers will want to steer the company and dictate deadlines or goals. While the pure form of agile might work the reality of agile causes a lot of friction.

Keep in mind though problems also show up with waterfall or young small startups. Its just which flavor of friction/pain project issue you are willing to deal with

interactivecode··on OpenCore: Hackintosh Alternative to Clover
I think there hsould be a place where people could list their hardware and their settings/kexts for successfull builds.

And you could just input your hardware and get a list of settings and kexts for your build.

Or like dynamic documentation like the stripe docs, but then for your hackingtosh...

Hoping to setup one myself this week
