curious about not vibe coded, is it because you wanted to learn? or some thing else as well?

i am building https://alphacheck.ai on the side. it uses stock market data to track performance of recommendations made by youtubers.

What i have working as of now: - submit a video and get a snapshot of which stocks were mentioned, sentiment (buy/sell), price delta and reasoning. - analyze a channel and get a performance 'report card' of that channel

I tried the collaborative features to pair program with a colleague a few months ago, but it was bad. It was very flaky in establishing a connection. In the cases we were able to establish a connection, the voice chat would not work. We tried to make it work for a couple of days, and then we gave up. Has there been lots of work in the past few months on the collaborative features?

I develop Chips of Fury, a poker app for playing privately with friends. Currently I am building support for lots of home game variations like pineapple (regular, crazy, lazy), different Holdem variations like Super, reverse, super reverse, blind man's bluff etc and many more. I am thinking about how to implement AI bots for a wide range of variations.

I don't see how he's infringing on amazon's logo tbh. On cursory search I found that colgate and danone have the same smile stroke under their logo too.

somewhat ironically, adding these examples to the post would make it more valuable :)

Is there any request pricing (I could not find a mention to it on the pricing page). Could be quite compelling for some use-cases if request pricing is free.

about how much size does shorebird add to the app bundle?

I used dive when I was trying to cut down on the size of the image. Diffing and seeing what files/directories go into each layer was very useful.

animeshjain — Tue, 02 Jan 2024 05:07:57 +0000

I use it to create realtime backups of game databases. in my app each game has it's own sqlite database to store game state and litestream creates a real time copy of the database on cloud storage. if a game server crashes, i recover using the litestream copy.

I would be interested in reviewing your handbook too. I am technical, but have not deployed any AI related tooling so far. keen to know if this is targeted to AI noobs as well.

New comment by animeshjain in "LiteFS Cloud: Distributed SQLite with Managed Backups"

animeshjain — Thu, 06 Jul 2023 04:08:20 +0000

This is awesome. Want to just mention my experience trying to replicate sqlite here.

I host a multiplayer game on fly. The way I've designed it is, each game server has it's own sqlite database. And each fly server can host multiple game servers, to keep a high utilization. I currently use Litestream to replicate each database to s3 for disaster recovery. I am planning to move from S3 to sftp to save on the high post/put costs that s3 incurs (the actual storage costs are negligible).

I thought what I am doing would be more common place. But it seems that running single machine instances that can recover after a crash is not common after all (or atleast the tooling does not focus on that). Most use cases seem to be serving high availability or scalability.

In the unnecessary (IMO) desire to make everything highly available, I think simpler solutions have been over looked. I can't help but feel that if you need LiteFS, it is possible that you should be looking at a server oriented database like Postgres or Mysql. In that respect, I feel Litestream is underrated and deserves more attention. It serves a use case which is perhaps more in-line with an in-process DB :)

PS. this thread has some really interesting tools though (Marmot, mycelite). Great to see so many options.

New comment by animeshjain in "Postgres Full-Text Search: A search engine in a database"

animeshjain — Wed, 28 Jul 2021 03:11:51 +0000

From what I know, full text search in Postgres (and MySQL) does not have faceted search. So it only supports returning full text results from the entire index.

Actually, it is possible, but doing a search on a particular segment of rows is a very slow operation - say text search for all employees with name matching 'x', in organization id 'y'.

It is not able to utilise the index on organization id in this case, and it results in a full scan.

I was wondering if Materialize is meant to be used in analytical workloads only, or would it be equally up to the task for consumer app kind of workloads as well?

I agree, and would like to pay Google (would have already done so earlier), BUT, there is this gaping trust gap. I find it hard to trust that my account won't one day be randomly banned with no option to communicate with a human customer support agent.

Based on a cursory search, these bans are not so uncommon, and it is just scary

I would be interested in knowing how the reactors are handling side-effect which should never be replayed. Is there some well established pattern for doing this?

Well, apparently the instagram founders learned to code to get the first version out.

Ask HN: Non-tech founders who learned to code, what products did you make?

animeshjain — Sun, 17 Apr 2016 12:16:59 +0000

Would be great to know interesting stories too. What you learned in the process? would you advise the same to others in retrospect? etc.

I wanted to collect stories from products makers in the wild apart from the popular ones like Instagram. Doesn't matter if the products ended up being successful on a large scale. Just something that you were proud of creating.
