I wanted to share a little write-up about building a queue system that uses Supabase Postgres database triggers, functions, edge functions and realtime.

Thanks! Yea, I really love vue, and how simple feeling it is to work with for me.

Oh yes. I have done an app actually with stripe integration. I will try to put out a repo with that in the future. It was pretty straightforward.

The funny part of this whole thing. Is that the same people that all they do is complain about privacy concerns by Apple and Alexa etc. here on HN are the same people that consistently downvote anything I say that is anti-vaccine. I thought this community knew no blind spots. Even if I am dead wrong on my stance, the concept that it gets downvoted just because I have a differing opinion is pathetic.

or a 99.2% chance she would have just lived, you know, using the stats on the virus.

MMR vaccine links to autism, total hog wash you smart, smart people say.

Oh yea, I am totally suffering from long term Chicken Pox. Sometimes I scratch my arm where a pox used to be.

No comorbidity has caused the life of thousands of people. Drinking slurpies and eating ding-dongs all day, the chickens have come home to roost. 80% of Covid deaths involved obese people. Stop blaming people who won't get the vaccine for the troubles. I got Covid from a friend who had the vaccine, lo and behold, we had the exact same symptoms, including losing taste, fever, cold sweats, etc., and he actually had it a little worse because he had headaches from it as well. Vaccine works, mmmhmm, ok, better get booster 3 and 4 and 5...to be sure.

Across the entire spectrum you're at less risk from the vaccine than you are from the disease.

The current survival rate from the virus is at around 99.2%. The vaccine may or may not have long term health effects. How is taking the virus head on less risky?

Used in conjunction with Apple Maps, they could start pushing people to take long drives off of short piers.

I don't really agree on this. If your data scientists are extracting important information about your data in Python or R. The actual hard work of this is them figuring out the algorithms to run, not what it is being run on. They develop this code to sift through data in a data warehouse, a database, or flat files and then come up with answers. What servers, or cloud infra, or kubernetes fleet it then runs on is of 0 concern to the actual code they just laid down.

Haha, yea, this isn't like having a snap streak of showing a funny face to your friend for 3,144 days. But alas, the internet at large probably thinks that is a harder feat than this.

I think he might have been referring to manufactures trying to copy Apple's trendsetting lead, not the users of Apple devices.

We thought we were being smart when we bought a .io domain. Can't tell you how many times we told people the site was foo.io, and they would say, ok got it. "foo.io.com".

I am a solo tech founder. I am fortunate I suppose that my product is something that fills an actual need. I get about 125-150 people to the site organically every day, with about 25 people logging in, and then 1-3 people putting down their credit card for a trial. I feel like I did the real hard part and that while a marketing person might be able to hep increase these numbers, that if I keep on refining and bettering the product, I will solve for it myself. Maybe I am delusional, but at least I am having fun doing it!

This is amazing. My wife was just telling my I need someone to do my marketing and sales. And I am like, yes I know this, but it is way easier said than done. Thus why I am still grinding on it as a solo tech founder.

Same in a bar. I go in to shoot the shit. But often times now, I will see people spend their entire time scrolling while sitting at the bar. It's sad. I switched back to a flip phone almost 1.5 years ago and while I do miss certain things, the overall experience of just not having the option to scroll is so much better for me in terms of being present.

Yea, I think the other aspect is this isn't just internet. When I was younger, going on the internet meant going to the upstairs bedroom, turning on the computer, waiting for it to boot up, then waiting for AOL to connect, then chatting with people. It would take like 5 minutes of effort. Now, most of the time when I go out, for fun, I just look how many people are hunched over staring and scrolling at their stupid rectangle in their hand all day everyday. It's usually at least 80% of people. It's the social, the algorithm, and the fact that the addiction is sitting in people's hands at all moments of the day and night.

No, it wasn't that I didn't want to get the vaccine because my friend got sick. The fact was he had the vaccine, and got me sick and we both had as close to the exact same experience during the sickness. The second parts about my uncle and my sister's husband I can't really prove they are related to the vaccine, but were just in response to the previous commenters. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

Anecdotally, my uncle who was otherwise healthy died months after getting the jab. And my sister's husband came down with some major fatigue/fever issues recently after the jab. So again, I took my chances based on the facts I had, yet I will get downvoted because they aren't in lock step with most of HN.

Most vaccines contain the actual virus. This vaccine does not.

The whole point of the original comment was that 1. someone with the vaccine and someone without both had an identical reaction to the virus and 2. just because everyone on the pro-vaccine side makes claims that this vaccine is safe, there are no long-term studies on it. So my point about my immune system was that yes I was willing to roll the dice and deal with the virus when/if it came to me. And I did. I will get downvoted for this on this particular site, because it is way more skewed to people that feel that the vaccine is a safe and effective measure. But, I didn't roll a 6 sided die while my friend rolled a 20 sided die.

Anecdotally, I decided not to get the vaccine. Three weeks ago, my friend who had gotten the vaccine got Covid, and then gave it to me. (He also beat me in golf that day which says a lot more about my golf than his ability to play while sick). But anyway, we both lost our sense of taste and smell, had fevers, were achy, him up until about a week ago, me up until a couple of days ago. So, perhaps he would have had an even tougher go at it had he not been vaccinated, but to me it seems we both suffered just about identical outcomes.

That is a great movie! Have you watched Tremors?

What books you bought on Amazon is stored in an Oracle database.

Not anymore.

There seems to be more and more articles and videos by Noam Chomsky and such about how so much of Silicon Valley was subsidized by the government. Not good or bad, but true. Which is interesting if you then move it out to current tech. So was Facebook and Twitter made by the government and then handed to Zuckerberg and Dorsey.

The level of technical debt is also huge. So there is just tons of bureaucracy and red tape that you couldn't even make a big difference if you wanted to. The difference of working at a startup vs. a big stodgy company is just so immense. Not saying startups have it all right, but even if you are a 10x dev in the startup world, you would be amazed how quickly that motivation could dissipate working at a place that moves at a snails pace.

Yes exactly. You should be allowed to disagree with that person still being able to talk. The whole deplatforming of Trump seemed overly orchestrated.

[EDIT} this is getting downvoted, but him magically being removed from Twitter and Parler being shut down didn't just happen in a vacuum. We are in full censorship mode as a country. It is sad to see.

Meanwhile the spokesperson for the Islamic Emirate has 360K followers on Twitter.

Yea, it would be refreshing for a company to say, we nailed this product, we are going to now just refine it more and more perfectly to streamline it even more. But instead everyone wants to cram more things into it. The old saying was that a SAAS product isn't complete until it has it's own email server baked into it.
