For anyone interested in push-to-talk/intercoms we built a free tool at the beginning of quarantine last year called Squawk - https://www.squawk.to
Readit Newshttps://relaygo.com/families is a great solution if you don’t want to home brew it and don’t mind a monthly fee for the cell service.
No affiliation, just a customer/user.
We have a free version called Squawk over at https://www.squawk.to
Wow...an S-1 with positive net income.
the language isn't the secret weapon - it's the person wielding it. It's just that if the wielder is using a less common language, it makes the news.
Also there's a large selection bias: people using less common or more esoteric/demanding languages tend to be better engineers who have invested the time in learning something off the beaten path. That absolutely does not mean it's the right decision since most employees will statistically be average and you want to have a stack that appeals to a large enough talent pool.

I've used django-test-migrations before and was really happy with it. https://pypi.org/project/django-test-migrations/
We've played around with that and it's on the roadmap. But it just adds another set of fixtures to herd.

My strategy here is to have a staging server where migrations are applied before they can hit production.
As someone else pointed out, migration without CI can be dangerous and difficult to coordinate with deployment.
This is what we do but it's too manual for my taste.

We've got a core product running on Django, and one thing the author doesn't mention is testing migrations. The migration system is wonderful, except for the difficulty in testing migrations. There's no sane/official way to do this. And it's such an important thing that I don't get why the Django crew haven't tackled it.

Hi Vlad - your anecdote about ship tracking is interesting (my other startup is an AIS based dry freight trader). You must know the Vortexa guys given your BP background.
How does QuestDB differ from other timeseries/OLAP offerings? I'm not entirely clear.
zumachase commented on GPT-3 can generate a React app from natural language description twitter.com/sharifshameem... · Posted by u/andxor
What I'm wondering is how it matched up the natural english description with the repository content though.
The prompt contained a few react examples with annotated English descriptions that were similar enough. You’re not seeing the entire prompt and as impressive as this is, it’s likely that you’d end up writing more code trying to get it to do what you want than if you just wrote it yourself. Future GPTs may of course be better, but there’s a bit of “magic” to these demos that the author isn’t super upfront about.
When something is free it usually is paid for by selling my data, as the free-tier of a paid product, or the owners haven't figured out how to make money on it and are hoping to figure that out later.
Most of the traffic is P2P. We operate a couple of geo distributed relays for NAT'd traffic. But everything is 100% e2e encrypted thanks to webrtc.
It's mostly a tool for us and something that helps sell our other products, but we decided to split it out as a separate app so that it could be used independently. All we collect is a name and email, and even those can be pseudonymous.
