kevindavis··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (September 2025)

Dispatch Care - Remote (US time zones required) - Full Stack Engineer

We make an app that helps hospital patients communicate with their care team, saving busy nurses time.

I think this would be a great role for someone with a few years of experience with Rails / mobile development and is eager to learn a lot and take on a lot of ownership.

kevindavis··on Create your own machine-learning-powered RSS reader

Just checked out the docs, looks like they have an easy call to mark one/multiple articles as read - so could have something running periodically filtering out stuff you're not interested in

Really interesting, has my mind spinning around the possibilities. Would love to be able to apply this stuff to filter my Feedly account - how hard would that be using Algorithmia?

A bit of an explanation.. I wrote this and I'm a Canadian (living in the US). Hence the tongue-in-cheek footnote.

Yup - downloaded the database.com pricing page to start and hadn't gotten to removing unused images etc. removed this and some other stuff.

There is definitely still a whack of CSS that doesn't apply :)

Thanks!

Busy with work through this weekend most likely.. feel free to submit a pull request for log scaling: https://github.com/kevindavis/s3-pricing

Will obviously give credit..

note, it was largely adapted from the pricing page on database.com

Good point - I thought about this a bit and figured I could take one of a couple of approaches 1) log scale (probably a bit confusing / harder to implement) 2) a switch between personal and business (could do similar switches for other settings like region

thoughts?
