PlanetScale (famously?) deprecated their free "Hobby" tier (plus fired their sales & marketing teams) back in 2024 to achieve profitability

Notoriously


Could you explain?


Look up the definition of famous and notorious. What needs explaining?


This is a pretty shallow take.

Not everyone's brain works the same way. For people with ADHD (and other neurodivergent conditions), executive dysfunction can make it really hard to remember to reach out -- even to people they care about deeply. It's not about not valuing the friendship; it's about how memory and motivation work differently.

Instead of disparaging people for using tools that help them maintain relationships, maybe try having a little empathy -- or at the very least, an open mind. Not everyone connects the way you do, and that doesn't make their friendships any less real.


There’s also SDAM / severely deficient autobiographical memory, which can make it harder or impossible to remember a consistent narrative of the events of your life, including who you’ve hung out with recently, what you talked about with them, etc.

This kind of tool can be a be useful crutch / prosthetic memory.


Probably because `Float()` is stricter and will raise an error if the string isn't a valid number, whereas `#to_f` will silently return 0.0 or do a best-effort conversion (e.g. "1.2abc".to_f => 1.2)


Ohhh!


They're not going all-in with Android or abandoning Apple, they're phasing out both CarPlay AND Android Auto in favor of something entirely new (that just so happens to be built by Google).


This is that problem of Google branding.

They’re dropping Android Auto, the CarPlay equivalent.

They’re switching to Android Auto, the infotainment OS. Or is that Android Automotive? Or Android for Autos? Or Android Auto(motive?) OS, which is AAOS. Or something based on Android Open Source for cars or maybe Android Auto Open Source?

Which is not AOSP. Or Android. But kind of is.

I’m not in the Android world but I’m never sure what to call the car Android thing as opposed to the phone Android thing for use in cars.

Using Android Auto with your Android based auto. Sigh.

I give up. I’m going to go watch Apple TV on my Apple TV through the Apple made TV app.


Zod has plugins that let you generate OpenAPI specs (and TS types, and JSON Schema, etc.) from your Zod schemas, so if that's the only reason you think Ajv is better, then it might be time to take another look at Zod? It really is great, especially if you buy into the "parse, don't validate" principle that it's built around.


This is no longer true as of ~2013.

Homer Logistics | VP Operations Research, Software Engineer | New York, NY | ONSITE

Help us revolutionize last-mile delivery in urban environments! We're building a distributed delivery platform to support the hundreds of thousands of deliveries that happen daily in NYC (and other cities). Our software is running in stores around the city and is used to coordinate thousands of deliveries across our fleet of couriers every day.

What we're looking for:

* VP of Operations Research - Scale up and manage a team of talented operations research experts while you lead the research, development and maintenance of the models and algorithms that we use every day for demand forecasting, scheduling, route optimization, etc. More info here: https://angel.co/homer-logistics/jobs/47887

* Software Engineer - Use your experience across the stack to build new features, deploy new infrastructure and solve challenging integration problems. We use a lot of Ruby, Rails, PostgreSQL and Angular, and are starting to use more Go, TypeScript and React.

Email me at robert (at) homerlogistics.com if you're interested in learning more!



Just FYI that's not the current pricing: it's $6 per asset, with a minimum of 1667 tracked assets ($10000 / $6).


Where did you find these numbers? Do you need to login to the premium support portal? I can't seem to find these numbers publically.


They don't publish them publicly, you have to speak to a sales rep.


For US or Canada based folks, we are very accommodating to fleet tracking lookups over at geocod.io


Homer Logistics | New York, NY | https://homerlogistics.com | Full-Time | ONSITE

Help us revolutionize how restaurants deliver food! We're building a centralized delivery platform to support the 200,000 food deliveries made each day in NYC. Our software is running in restaurants around the city and is used to coordinate thousands of deliveries across our fleet of couriers every day.

We're looking to bring on a full-stack engineer to help us build out our platform. We currently use Ruby, Rails, PostgreSQL, Node.js and Angular, but we're open to all languages and skills--bonus points for interest in Elixir and Go! We're also in the process of migrating our infrastructure to Kubernetes, so experience with AWS and Docker is a plus.

The engineering team is still very small (there's only 4 of us), so you'll have a lot of ownership on the projects you work on and have a big impact on our development culture!

Our interview process involves a phone interview, a take-home coding challenged focused on real software development and an onsite interview where you meet the team and get feedback on your code.

Email me at robert (at) homerlogistics.com if you're interested in learning more!
