Show HN: Variety Quiz - Simple quiz to understand the balance of your lifestylehttps://www.varietyquiz.com/Hi HN,My name is Clay and I live in Austin. I built this simple quiz 'app' called Variety Quiz as part of a larger project I'm working on around lifestyle variety and its relationship with how we feel about ourselves as people.This feels a bit strange to post (it's clunky) but I think it's time I start putting things out there. You'll see that there is a callout to Self Sport which is the larger app/project I've been working on tied to this. It’s a much more professional effort and will launch later this summer.So why Variety Quiz?Variety Quiz is a novel tool to check in with your lifestyle and satisfaction levels in general (across key life needs). This helps to understand how you're structuring your attention today and consider changes that may be worth making.I think a lot of people spend years never really thinking about their lifestyle and the 'balance' (not a great word, but a common word for this) they've created. We all have things that make us up and form our identity — Belief

Complexity: Deno or Postgres or DigitalOcean or Me?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36324237The specifics:I am trying to get my (new-to-me) Deno web server talking to a Digital Ocean managed database instance running postgres using remote access.I just can't get there from here. I'm new to Deno, and tried both of the postgres modules I can find (postgres & postgresjs). I have a pretty standard DO droplet and a DO managed Postgres(ql) instance. I am trying to switch from using KOA - my favorite nodejs webserver which works - to Deno. I used the same string I use with psql to access the database when using Deno. It works with nodejs (the pg module) & psql. With both modules on Deno it fails with an invalid TLS blah, blah, blah.The question:So why am I posting this on HN? Because for the first time, I think I am going to abandon a new technology because the world is just too complex. I am unhappy about this, but it has made me think about how very, very many pieces need to work together. Is Deno good? Yes, (despite the TypeScript). I would like to adopt it. Is Postgres good? No,

Ask HN: Application Focussed AI Learninghttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36322424I’m a senior leader with a technical background as an engineer and development manager. I build with React/Rails in my spare time but my current job is not at all technical.My role is changing at my request to look at ways we as a business could apply AI. It’ll be exploratory, with 2 devs working under me to build prototypes and experiments.I’m a big believer that a technical manager or leader should understand the technology, with bonus points for being able to build with it.It’s worth saying that we don’t expect to be creating our own models, rather building on top of others’ using APIs, fine tuning, prompts, vector databases and similar.There’s lots of good developer focussed learning. I’ll run through the basics there.However I’d like to learn how businesses are applying AI and am seeking out how best to discover this.I see MIT Sloan and other institutions have short courses that appear to offer what I’m looking for [1].

Show HN: Sociables, A Reddit alternative that lets community owners monetizehttps://sociables.com/browse/topHey HN, A buddy and I have been working on a side project in the online community space in our free time over the past few years. Our platform is a sort of Discord/Reddit/Patreon hybrid. Decided to do a soft launch today in light of all the recent Reddit news.Community features:1. Customizable discussion boards. Community owners can setup threaded discussion boards for different topics related to their niche. Say a user creates a community for a niche like "Cars", under that community they could create different discussion boards for sub categories like "Car-mods", "Car-photos", "Car-sales", etc. This is different from Reddit where typically you only have a singular discussion board per community.2. Voice chatrooms. Community owners can setup Discord style voice chat rooms where users can communicate via voice.3. Real-time text chatrooms. Currently we only have a singular chatroom for the whole community however we are looking at adding the ability to create multiple rooms per communit

Gravimeter for ESA’s Hera mission is ready to launch to Dimorphos asteroidhttps://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2023/06/grass-update/A tiny instrument that can measure the gravity levels of an asteroid has completed its ground tests, pushing the European Space Agency’s (ESA) Hera mission closer to launch. Hera will complete the first post-impact survey of the asteroid that NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) collided with in September 2022, and the gravimeter for small solar system objects (GRASS) is the small device that will be carried by Hera to measure the minuscule gravity levels of Dimorphos, the orbiting moonlet of the 65803 Didymos binary system.

Why are many of the biggest web frameworks in dynamically typed langs?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36216957Django, Rails, Lavarel, Phoenix … Is static typing less useful in Web development? Do these dynamic languages enable better dev experience (than frameworks in statically typed langs like Spring, ASP.net)?I have no experience in building big web apps and I would like to learn one of those big frameworks that come with a lot out of the box. Kind of curious to try Phoenix because Elixir seems fun and tooling around it seems good. On the other hand, I can’t really imagine not having types, so I’m thinking maybe I should try Spring boot with Kotlin instead (type system seems really nice).Anyone has some thoughts on this? Not looking for general static/dynamic typing discussion, just want to know what makes a good web framework.

Potential Metallic Orb Designhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36183550Yesterday's article (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36170105) on flying metallic orbs caught my eye, so I decided to ask ChatGPT how this could be designed. It came up with a design that seems plausible to me (a non-expert), essentially using gyroscopes to induce controllable spin, and uses the Magnus effect to allow the orb to bend through the air like a soccer ball. Wanted to get Hacker New's take on whether this design is possible.Structure and Composition: The orb's structure is a sphere composed of strong, lightweight materials akin to those used in modern aircraft or spacecraft. These materials are capable of withstanding the pressures and forces experienced during flight while also minimizing the orb's overall weight.Buoyancy: The orb is filled with a lighter-than-air gas such as helium or hydrogen, which provides the necessary lift. This is a similar concept to what's used in airships or weather balloons. The buoyancy offsets the weight of the orb and its internal compone

Ask HN: What should I put in my “computer person” handbag?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36112490I know we all fancy ourselves as expert in AI, autonomous systems, software architects, etc... but let's face the hard truth: for our non-geeky friends, families and foes, we are best-known as "computer guys/gals/persons".Which means, there is an expectation that we suppose to make "computer things" work.In particular, the following real-life scenarios are things where (at least for me), it would be realistic for a layperson to assume an experience engineer should be able to help:* "Hey, aunt X has a couple (thousands) pictures on her phone, can you put them on my computer ?"* "Oh, and by the way, can we look at them on the big TV ? That would make - insert name of a 10y old kid you're emotionnaly attached to - so happy" ?* "Damn, there is a sheet of paper stuck in the printer, we need to print the card for the birthday of - insert name of a 100y old person you're emotionnaly attached to - can you help ?"* "Oops, my laptop screen is black, but I need the excel spreadsheet that's in the

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 fea
