Seems like the article doesn’t explain what’s going on in the video, right?

Anyone have a sense for what’s happening?

I grew up in Toronto and lived in Oakland for the past 6 years. Other than some smokey summers weather is near perfect. Very mild "winters", beautiful and sunny summers (much less fog than the coast or Berkeley) with only a few days >30C. Low humidity most of the year. I'm in Carson City now and its colder/hotter, still no humidity.

I am looking for someone to do a data crunch like this and see Oakland emerge as a big winner
myowz commented on Ask HN: My boss doesn't think I'm doing good work, how to proceed?    · Posted by u/dazeandconfuse

This boss telling you that they felt the project should have been done a long time ago: I wonder who that comment benefits? Feels like no one. You get bummed, they give late feedback without a lot of constructive aspects to it.

I am trying to think of one way it was useful to tell you that, but I can’t.

Seems like you should feel justified in not being a fan of working under this person. What you do with that is hard to say. Sounds like you got to work on a cool project and got to mostly solo it. That’s pretty great for a junior.

myowz commented on Show HN: Minimalist offline journal app with a chat interface   thezenjournal.com... · Posted by u/randomor

The backup format is a simple zip with a folder `assets/` that contains all the images, and a `logs.json` file that contains all the logs, which itself is a simple array with `createdAt, text, image` as keys.

Yes, the offline thing is kinda a hurdle to many. The way I'm convincing myself: if I log from multiple devices and backup often, I get some sort of offline partial replication? :D iCloud is great in its partition of user data so the devs don't have access to it, so yes if I were to support auto sync, iCloud would be top of the list. NextCloud is also on the table.

Thank you for the support!

Please add iCloud! I just subscribed today. I really see the value in your app but just want optional no-thinking backup.

The casting of () seemed consciously inclusive, in a good way
myowz commented on Ask HN: Which city/town has the best climate according to you?    · Posted by u/GDC7

Oakland, CA - always in a comfortable range. Underrated in most “best weather” rankings.
myowz commented on Launch HN: Jitsu (YC S20) – Open-Source Segment Alternative    · Posted by u/vklmn
alexdean · 4 years ago
Snowplow CEO here. We haven't used Jitsu before but are very familiar with Segment. It looks like Jitsu sits in the Segment product family, along with Rudderstack: basically a Customer Data Platform bundle of simple JSON event tracking, Fivetran-style transactional/SaaS data ingest, and then relaying of data out to various SaaS endpoints plus cloud DWs.

Snowplow started at the same time as Segment (2012) but has evolved along a separate tech tree. Micro-service architecture, cloud native, using Kinesis or Cloud Pub-Sub as the data transit, enrichment framework plus a Confluent-style schema registry supporting very rich and versioned JSON Schema-based event payloads. We are built by and for data platform teams; our open-source behavioral data engine doesn't have a UI (our commercial Behavioral Data Platform does). Hosted trial here https://try.snowplowanalytics.com/

Definitely room for both product families in the market! I'm sure Jitsu will do great.

Alex - love your work on Snowplow.

Looking at Jitsu as a Snowplow familiar person I tried to do a quick browse of their marketing site and couldn’t find anything about their back end architecture. Was immediately thinking that wasn’t the focus here which is concerning when thinking about enterprise scalable data patterns.

Also appreciate you taking the high road “room for both” while the founder of Jitsu says “we are better”

I’ll stick with the product with a solid schema strategy, thank you…

G already became alphabet, no one cared right?
myowz commented on Install Signal   signal.org/download/... · Posted by u/nanna
myowz · 4 years ago
Simply from a UX perspective, I prefer using Signal over WhatsApp.

One main feature contributes to that: iMessage/Slack style 'reactions' to messages.

Being able to press down on a message and just respond with a thumbs up really helps with group threads.

myowz commented on Show HN: First attempt using no-code to build a service for new startups   submit.monster... · Posted by u/MladenK
MladenK · 4 years ago
For my SaaS product www.poirot.app, I collected more than 300 directories, blogs, slack, and discord channels where you can submit your startup, so this service came naturally from my submissions. Also, this is the first project/task I made with no-code tools. Any helpful feedback & suggestions would be much appreciated :)

What no code did you use?
