Show HN: Open Fire Serverless CIhttps://www.open-fire.dev/Hello, HN community, I'm really excited to show you Open Fire a serverless CI, how does it work? relying on serverless technologies (firecracker) we can spin up a new VM in less than 200 ms running in a more powerful and newest CPU on the market, just change 1 line of code on your GitHub Actions Workflow and you're up and running! You can see our use case, where we implemented Open Fire in the NextJS repo taking down build time from 1 hour 17 minutes to 26 minutes which is a 66 % of improvement without any engineering effort! [1]The value of a CI/CD Pipeline is inversely proportional to how long the pipeline takes to run and is a limiting factor for companies to release quickly and often.For a little bit of background, I have been working in the CI/CD space for the last 9 years in small startups, my own CI/CD startup for mobile games, and big enterprises like PayPal and Binance, and you see the same pattern emergesIn today's life developers are pretty good when they're building new feaMay 27, 2023 9:50 PM

Ask HN: Time to Leave the US?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35364718It feels like the US has passed a tipping point of sorts and is rapidly moving the wrong way on a lot of important issues.Biggest / most glaring being the out-of-control gun violence, esp. in our schools. That's simply unacceptable to me as a parent of two toddlers under the age of 2.Medical / Cost of a significant illness is really Fd up in this country. I had a kidney stone last year, and it cost me over 5k. Most of my friends / family would not have been able to absorb that surprise expense and would have had to use credit cards. That's not even much cash compared to what medical bills in the US can easily cost you. Families are being financially ruined by this shit.Lastly would be random, non-school violence. My wife is Asian and the increase in random asshats assaulting smaller, weaker people – esp Asian women – is just the latest WTF is going on in this country.When I step back, it seems inevitable that someone close to me will suffer from one of the 3, or possible more than 1 ofMar 29, 2023 10:25 PM

Tell HN: From bartending to managing cloud infrastructurehttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34460997Someone on HN once recommended I share this story, and I've been seeing a lot of "how do I get into tech in my 30s" and "can I switch careers" posts, so I figured I'd post.----I'm 37. I spent my twenties bouncing all over the place; did a stint in the Army Reserves while shooting for liutenant bars that didn't work out (failed out of college and I was in ROTC). Did construction, real estate, grew weed in Denver for a year (legally), ended up bartending for roughly a decade. It was great in my early 20s. Not so hot to watch my age group get raises and salary increases.I have my GED and never finished college - left with a record-setting 1.2 GPA (I have severe ADD and I wasn't properly medicated, there were other problems too). Seemed like there was this universe of 'good jobs' that were simply not in the cards.So there I am, in my early 30s, struggling to make NY rent and watching folks get promoted and getting married and buying houses and all that stuff.

Launch HN: IcePanel (YC W23) – Onboard engineers with explorable system designshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34338995Hey HN, Victor and Jacob here. We’re excited to show you what we’ve been building over the last couple of years! IcePanel (https://icepanel.io) helps architects and developers easily explain how their software works with interactive and explorable diagrams.Modern systems are complicated, and getting new developers up to speed and contributing fully is time-consuming and difficult. It costs the new developer's time, as well as the time of the senior first/second generation developers who help them constantly through their first 6 months. The resources people use to learn new systems are usually scattered across a maze of artefacts, like confluence pages or outdated draw.io diagrams, which are usually incomplete, with the ‘real’ understanding of the system being tribal knowledge in the team. As discussed in yesterday’s post https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34328069 “documentation only works up to a point” and we believe this is due to docs being disconnected from the code.

Launch HN: SimpleHash (YC W22) – API to query digital assetshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33423759Hi HN! We’re Alex Kilkka and Olly Wilson, co-founders of SimpleHash (https://www.simplehash.com). We allow developers to fetch comprehensive NFT / digital asset data from many blockchains at once.Using our API, developers don’t have to worry about how different chains like Ethereum, Solana, and Flow implement digital assets under the hood. We collect, standardize, and cache all this information for you, so you can retrieve it in a single request.There has been a lot of controversy and hype around NFTs, but we’re focused on solving the technical challenges that our customers (software developers working with digital assets) deal with on a day-to-day basis. We don’t hold, transfer, mint or issue any form of crypto or digital asset ourselves–instead we aim to be the most comprehensive data provider for people who need to programmatically access this kind of information and media.Working with digital asset data is harder than other kinds of blockchain data.

I think people on HN ought to know and discuss about it, and share their ideas and discoveries.It can do text-to-image out of nothing with a customer-grade GPU, and image-to-image for incredible variations that you can guide with the criteria you choose.https://imgur.com/a/Jt76AHAJust check that picture out, I made variations from the base picture top-left, either to black-ened, or to white-ened, or to the combination of both... The power is infinite. It is called "Prompts matrix".You can run it from your own computer preferably with 8GB VRAM+ GPU, or cloud-based virtual machine (I managed to run it on Microsoft Azure but not for cheap).
