I wanted to share a little write-up about building a queue system that uses Supabase Postgres database triggers, functions, edge functions and realtime.
The funny part of this whole thing. Is that the same people that all they do is complain about privacy concerns by Apple and Alexa etc. here on HN are the same people that consistently downvote anything I say that is anti-vaccine. I thought this community knew no blind spots. Even if I am dead wrong on my stance, the concept that it gets downvoted just because I have a differing opinion is pathetic.
No comorbidity has caused the life of thousands of people. Drinking slurpies and eating ding-dongs all day, the chickens have come home to roost. 80% of Covid deaths involved obese people. Stop blaming people who won't get the vaccine for the troubles. I got Covid from a friend who had the vaccine, lo and behold, we had the exact same symptoms, including losing taste, fever, cold sweats, etc., and he actually had it a little worse because he had headaches from it as well. Vaccine works, mmmhmm, ok, better get booster 3 and 4 and 5...to be sure.
> Across the entire spectrum you're at less risk from the vaccine than you are from the disease.
The current survival rate from the virus is at around 99.2%. The vaccine may or may not have long term health effects. How is taking the virus head on less risky?
I don't really agree on this. If your data scientists are extracting important information about your data in Python or R. The actual hard work of this is them figuring out the algorithms to run, not what it is being run on. They develop this code to sift through data in a data warehouse, a database, or flat files and then come up with answers. What servers, or cloud infra, or kubernetes fleet it then runs on is of 0 concern to the actual code they just laid down.
Haha, yea, this isn't like having a snap streak of showing a funny face to your friend for 3,144 days. But alas, the internet at large probably thinks that is a harder feat than this.
We thought we were being smart when we bought a .io domain. Can't tell you how many times we told people the site was foo.io, and they would say, ok got it. "foo.io.com".
I am a solo tech founder. I am fortunate I suppose that my product is something that fills an actual need. I get about 125-150 people to the site organically every day, with about 25 people logging in, and then 1-3 people putting down their credit card for a trial. I feel like I did the real hard part and that while a marketing person might be able to hep increase these numbers, that if I keep on refining and bettering the product, I will solve for it myself. Maybe I am delusional, but at least I am having fun doing it!
This is amazing. My wife was just telling my I need someone to do my marketing and sales. And I am like, yes I know this, but it is way easier said than done. Thus why I am still grinding on it as a solo tech founder.
Same in a bar. I go in to shoot the shit. But often times now, I will see people spend their entire time scrolling while sitting at the bar. It's sad. I switched back to a flip phone almost 1.5 years ago and while I do miss certain things, the overall experience of just not having the option to scroll is so much better for me in terms of being present.
Yea, I think the other aspect is this isn't just internet. When I was younger, going on the internet meant going to the upstairs bedroom, turning on the computer, waiting for it to boot up, then waiting for AOL to connect, then chatting with people. It would take like 5 minutes of effort. Now, most of the time when I go out, for fun, I just look how many people are hunched over staring and scrolling at their stupid rectangle in their hand all day everyday. It's usually at least 80% of people. It's the social, the algorithm, and the fact that the addiction is sitting in people's hands at all moments of the day and night.
No, it wasn't that I didn't want to get the vaccine because my friend got sick. The fact was he had the vaccine, and got me sick and we both had as close to the exact same experience during the sickness. The second parts about my uncle and my sister's husband I can't really prove they are related to the vaccine, but were just in response to the previous commenters. Sorry if that wasn't clear.
Anecdotally, my uncle who was otherwise healthy died months after getting the jab. And my sister's husband came down with some major fatigue/fever issues recently after the jab. So again, I took my chances based on the facts I had, yet I will get downvoted because they aren't in lock step with most of HN.
