LiteLLM already provides this feature, no need of another proxy

Can TOON format help in this, with "LLM=true" we can reduce the noise which pollutes context

I use ente which is also the same, a bit tricky to setup but the app looks great

Why do you need a human to do the initial mapping ? why can't you use a Roomba or a smaller hardware for this task

Currently working on https://exitfox.com/. After recently switching jobs, I became frustrated with the handover process to the new joiner. This experience inspired me to start building a tool that uses Gemini/Claude to ask relevant questions about the project being handed over, streamlines the exit process in a structured format, Now I am adding more features for HR managers and employees around Clearance, FnF etc

Interestingly I found Claude Code to be the only LLM good at designing frontend, asking it to make it look better actually helps

> Joins are cheap. Normalise earlier

I am sure i have heard strong opinions like this but in practice joins are never cheap, tables with billions of rows crossed with millions of rows just to find a single row with data is not something i would call cheap, more often than not it is better to avoid joining large tables if you can live with duplicate data, also one trick i have found better is just to archive data in your tables which are not accessed frequently and reduce the size of tables keeping only the data which is needed

What about standardisation that comes with using a framework like kubernetes , while not using k8s you end up with adhoc deployment methods, clunky work arounds of handling networking, policies, secrets etc, with Kubernetes or even ECS it signals that the team or the developer is looking to use fixed set of rules for infrastructure, also k8s scales well even for smaller apps

More like generate a random number from 30 to 90 and show gibberish data, cool idea though to fool small businesses into improving their visual score and charging money, good gimmick though

This is also crashing PUBG Mobile and a lot of gamers are angry as a big tournament (PMWL) is going to start soon, Facebook needs a better QA process

We use Clickhouse extensive at work and boy is it better than anything i have used in column oriented databases so far, documentation is good, http query interface and features such as builtin url parsing are amazing, we also tested Druid and found Clickhouse to be better than Druid, it is easier to setup and maintain as well

subhajeet2107 — Mon, 25 Nov 2019 12:10:29 +0000

There are various levels of testing, at an early stage you can write only integration and functional tests, later on when you get time you can write unit tests as well

Custom Collector(analytics) -> Clickhouse -> Custom ETL Scripts -> Clickhouse -> Re:dash We tried metabase which is awesome , but Redash is also great and easy to setup as well if your team knows sql then Redash is better We also looked at druid and after some benchmarking we settled on Clickhouse, realtime queries even without etl runs within seconds in clickhouse

Awesome ! we at Careers360 (India top 100 Alexa) use Django for everything, the best thing about an Opinionated stack like django is freshers are production ready at day 1, learning time reduces and maintainability is solid , although i prefer golang where frameworks are particularly not favored ,Django ORM surely lacks a lot of features but does a decent job, async story sucks unless you are willing to give in to Channels i hope Django embraces async officially in the core

How does it compares to ClickHouse ? Isnt creating a proprietary Query Language going to be a problem for Adhoc quries? Why create yet another language when the industry is standardizing on SQL or a subset of SQL

Is there a way to combine screen/tmux with ssh ? like i always need to do some long running tasks over ssh and forget to put it in a screen session, i would like to open each ssh session in a screen session so that when i connect next i should be able to proceed from where i left

How is this different from inline styling ? this throws class inheritance out of the window

cluster-autoscaler can mange the machines easily, the point is kubernetes is an abstraction layer, using this level of abstraction is upto the user itself. Should i keep going down with container or using the node itself is the question, in production environment it makes all the sense to use something which has the potential to scale infinitely, but for hobby projects mental overhead doesn't justify using k8
