🎉 Excited to share something we've been building: Noz, an AI teammate inside SigNoz.

Ask Noz in plain english - "Alert me when checkout p99 latency goes above 2 seconds" and it builds the alert for you. Same when you're digging into a slow service, and not sure where to start?

It's in beta and free right now, in SigNoz Cloud. Grateful to everyone already testing it and sending feedback. We're just getting started.😊

Went though the @duckdb paper recently and here are some of my notes - 🧵

Best thing about HN — discussion doesn’t happen based on who the other person is, like most platforms, but on what is being said. The other person could be - not someone with just opinions, but an expert on the topic, or in this case, the cofounder of @Cloudflare

Thanks @golangch for featuring the repo. I've discovered a lot of interesting Go projects from your account.

If you're writing APIs in @golang and #gin, try this out to speed up your development by writing FastAPI like handlers and exposing pre-written CRUDs.

Google Authenticator without cloud backup is scary if you loose device and with backup enabled, it mostly defeats the purpose of 2FA.

@enteio Auth had been a boon for 2FA, comes with E2E encryption cloud backups and is freely available.

Summary — Brutal honesty is mostly obnoxious aggression and has a negative connotation to it. It’s hurtful and rarely useful.

Radical condor on the other hand is the practice of being transparent and human. It’s thoughtful and helpful.

@xDevLo @subhashchy When hiring freshers or <1 yoe, how would you judge or interview them? What would give you confidence to bet on them considering there is not much to talk about on previous projects?

Do you ever feel that some cities are just more alive than others?

It's probably because they're "mixed-use".

This is a simple idea, but it changes everything...

@vivekprakash @uni_acco Integrated their APIs for manual calling through browser. Can be automated as well, but that wasn’t our use case.

Same place, same process. Other side of the table.

If you're applying for a Developer's role and don't understand HTTP, it's hard for the other side of the table to continue the conversation.

@NotionHQ This would work as well except I don't see how to filter items in these columns. Is it possible?

I feel bad about using table database for simple bullet point where every item is really the title of a whole page.
