Can you give insights into what makes it different from e.g. pino[1]? It's amazingly even faster than console.logging because of the way it buffers the data.

Handling stale data needs to be considered when implementing it. ORMs like Prisma execute an update query and follow it up with a select. This would result in stale data being returned most of the time. If you use this data expecting your update to be contained in it you are going to have a bad time (statemachines, etc.)

Interestingly Slack Workflows also introduces pricing. So it seems both companies are targeting charging for automations / charging for things which used to be free.

Care to explain why?

In germany there was a similar project the "CargoLifter" which sadly never succeeded: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CargoLifter

The Camera Control API (CCAPI) which Canon provides is actually very good it allows our company to create software which grabs the pictures of the camera and put it where we like.

Why was SWC chosen instead of esbuild? I see esbuild in a lot more places.

Also with the developer of SWC joining next.js will the non-open-source parts (STC)[1] be released?

Here in Braunschweig (a smaller city) a lot of restaurants are using QR Code based menus. So I would assume you simply haven't been eating out.

I wonder why they don't forward the drive thru calls to a call center even today.

"Beam" should be the default style instead of "marble".

A lot of products e.g. CAD Software are available for free for personal/educational use or for a limited time. Alternatively I like the approach JetBrains (IntelliJ) are taking by providing the software for free or a reduced price: https://www.jetbrains.com/de-de/idea/buy/#discounts?billing=...

I don't understand why Docker Desktop e.g. Docker for Mac and Docker for Windows is available for free. I think it's a value added service and is executed beautifully and would be a fair way for the company to generate revenue.

New comment by Thomaschaaf in "Show HN: RSS Feeds with News from AWS"

Thomaschaaf — Tue, 19 Jan 2021 20:09:48 +0000

I would like to see the ability to only get news are available for my aws region Frankfurt (or globally such as Cloudfront). I really don't care that service XYZ is now available in AWS GovCloud. I would like to get news regarding new services and be able to easily remove them if they are not interesting to me (e.g. Microsoft SQL).

But I have to be honest I would not spend money on it.

Because it allows to revoke certificates at a later time. E.g. epicgames certificate was revocable after they noticed that they built in something that was not supposed to be allowed.

The computer is completely unresponsive as the OS is blocking all apps from starting. The best part was that the "keyboard" was not found.. in my macbook.

https://mikro-orm.io/ is a much better typeorm alternative as it is actively being maintained. TypeORMs development has come to a halt. And many issues are not being fixed.

Before opening the page I hoped that it would be an npm mirror which can be used in case npm goes down.
