Ask HN: Have you used SQLite as a primary database? 486 by barryhennessy | 313 comments on Hacker News. I periodically hear about projects that use/have used sqlite as their sole datastore. The theory seems to be is that you can test out an idea with fewer dependencies (and cost) and that it scales surprisingly far. There are even distributed versions being built for reliability in the cloud: dqlite by canonical (of Ubuntu fame) and rqlite Given the complexity it seems like there are use cases or needs here that I'm not seeing and I'd be very interested to know more from those who've tried. Have you tried this? Did it go well? Or blow up? Were there big surprises along the way? - https://sqlite.org - https://dqlite.io - https://ift.tt/atvXHRQ

Show HN: This AI Does Not Exist 428 by thesephist | 68 comments on Hacker News. Hey HN! Author of the site here. I tried a few tricks to keep the text-generation part of the site up, but even leaning hard on Huggingface's API and bumping time-outs up, it looks like the site is struggling a bit. I'm going to see if there's anything I can do to keep the text-generation part available, but in the meantime, the pre-generated set should stay pretty stable. Not sure if there's much else I can do without burning a hole in my cloud bills — sorry for the troubles! I've put up a more detailed description of how this works on the GitHub - https://ift.tt/l0fm8rp PS - if anyone at Huggingface is reading this and wants to help out with keeping the API up, that would be super :)

Ask HN: Internet magically gets faster when opening speedtest? 628 by halgir | 329 comments on Hacker News. I want to start by saying this is anecdotal, and I feel paranoid for even thinking it. But often my internet will feel very slow, so I'll open speedtest to check if something's wrong. When I do, all of my stalled tabs suddenly spring into action and finish loading. The tinfoil hat wearer inside of me speculates that my internet provider is overloaded and throttling my bandwidth, but immediately prioritizes me when it senses that I'm trying to check if I'm getting what I pay for. Has anyone else noticed this pattern? Is there a way I can test this more scientifically?

Show HN: Warp, a Rust-based terminal 612 by zachlloyd | 512 comments on Hacker News. Hi HN community, I’m Zach, founder and CEO of Warp, and am excited to show you Warp, a fast Rust-based terminal that’s easy to use and built for teams. As of today, Warp is in public beta and any Mac user can download it. It works with bash, zsh, and fish. The terminal’s teletype-like interface has made it hard for the CLI to thrive. After 20 years of programming, I still find it hard to copy a command’s output; I always forget how to use `tar`; and I always have to relearn how to move my cursor. To fix fundamental accessibility issues, I believe we need to start innovating on the terminal, and keep pushing further into the world of shells, ultimately ending up with a better integrated experience. At Warp we are building a Rust-based terminal that keeps what’s best about the CLI while modernizing the experience. We’ve built 1) An input area that works just like a code editor: selections, cursor posi...

Ask HN: When did 7 interviews become “normal”? 555 by geeky4qwerty | 672 comments on Hacker News. edit: I love this community! Thank you so much for all the insight. For those who complained, I'm sorry if this post comes across as complainy or redundant, I respect the HN hive-mind and was genuinely curious about everyone's thoughts on the matter. Hello fellow travelers, I'll do my best to keep this brief(ish). I've been in IT professionally since Y2K, data entry->QA->SysAdmin->PM->consultant->founder->sold and with the money took some years off, bought some property and a fixer upper and went to school and got a BSBA degree (never graduated from high school but wanted to show my kids the importance of a degree). I missed working and creating things with people so decided to reenter the job market in the PM space. So now that my hat is in the ring I have been told by recruiters what I need to "expect" in this "new market." I was t...
