mrlase commented on Electric (Postgres sync engine) beta release   electric-sql.com/blog/202... · Posted by u/austinbirch

We hit on exactly the same pattern for our product and it works really well.

We use Hasura as the read engine. That updates a graph of mobx objects that drive the ui. We apply updates directly to those objects so the ui updates immediately. The mutations are posted back to a Python api that applies them to the db.

I’ve looked at Electric because we’ve had to recreate some of what they do to interface with Hasura. At the moment it’s a non-starter because we use pg views to shape the data for the frontend.

Would love to read more about how you have mobx structured here. I have a similar graph of mobx objects for something I’m building but haven’t come up with an ergonomic sync story yet.

mrlase commented on Show HN: The first open-source Infrastructure-as-Code framework   cncframework.com/... · Posted by u/zoomzoom

I'm in your target market, and in my opinion you have an opportunity to rephrase your tagline "The first open-source Infrastructure-as-Code framework" because your tagline makes me think you're ancient and retro-- think back twenty years or more to Capistrano, Chef, Puppet, etc. as just a few examples.

Just to double-check, here's what Google shows me for your own tagline:

"Chef is an open source infrastructure as code framework, or set of solutions and approaches that helps you automate your infrastructure and applications."

"Terraform is an open source Infrastructure-as-Code framework originally created by HashiCorp"

"Pulumi is an open source Infrastructure-as-Code framework that provisions resources utilizing common programming languages."

etc.

If you're open to adjusting your marketing, I can also suggest you add OpenTofu to your homepage where you currently list Terraform. OpenTofu is more up to date with the open source community especially for IaC. It's a crowded space so aim to highlight your value proposition instead of writing "first".

Just my two cents. Hope this helps.

I don't even think it makes them look ancient, it makes them look odd for claiming that when they clearly are not the first open source IAC framework...

OP, why exactly are you describing yourself as the first one?

The pricing here seems asinine. $0.10/successful API call?

You certainly don't need to be drowning in student loan debt to reach that. You could go to a state school and get an excellent job. That's just poor financial decision making. Where I live you could go to UVa, VT, or maybe VCU.

PA, for example where I went to school, was still nearly $20k/year for tuition at the flagship state schools. I know a lot of people in-state that ended up with over $100k debt.

mrlase commented on Shock as $140m bike-share startup CEO goes AWOL ahead of impending collapse   techinasia.com/bluegogo-b... · Posted by u/schakraberty

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a bike share bike actually being ridden. I have seen rows of bike share bikes sitting parked taking up useful space that could have been allocated more usefully as public parking for people riding bikes they own.

I assume there must be some aspect to this business I’m not understanding if they are able to talk cities into giving them valuable street space and investors into backing them to the tune of $50M+. I’m not seeing what value they add by centralizing ownership of what is already a very inexpensive and democratic mode of transportation. What is the play here?

Citibike in NYC is wildly successful.
mrlase commented on Impact of the Amazon-Whole Foods Deal on Instacart   forbes.com/sites/bizcarso... · Posted by u/whocansay
wmccullough · 8 years ago
I actually have a crazy conspiracy theory that the reason they swap certain items is because there is a secondary means of profit where Instacart makes money through companies paying them to “suggest” certain products. I’ve had multiple occasions now where they’ve said they couldn’t find an item that I knew was in stock, and in mass quantities. I’ve had common brands of milk swapped out for expensive shit like Atlanta Cream Top (which ended up being tasty). I have no hard proof, but I suspect.

I've had the same experience. I'd select the cheapest possible chicken breast from Whole Foods and they replace it with air chilled, free range chicken breast. The difference in cost was quite significant per pound.

>$2.50 is the base price and $0.505/mile and $0.50/minute the car is stopped

Sorry, I was going off "Plus 50 cents per 1/5 mile" to mean $2.50 per mile. Where are you getting $0.505/mile from your link?

mrlase · 8 years ago
Lol I read that completely wrong. Time for more coffee, I suppose -- that definitely means $2.50/mile.
