I've heard of Fixable (https://www.isfixable.com/) in India. They seem to link to a lot of resources.


The parent comment made me curious enough to go look it up. Is it this same ActiveBatch that you both are referring to? https://www.advsyscon.com/


Yes its best to google for some real pics of the GUI. They just have "drawings" on their site.

When I was there it was not owned by Redwood, after 30+ years in business the original owners sold the company to them a few years back to retire.


ActiceBatch by Redwood, correct. Its widely used by some hedge funds.


VS Code Insiders has an Agent mode now that can also take voice input. You should be able to see the microphone icon to the left of "Agent" in the demo video in their blog post: https://code.visualstudio.com/blogs/2025/02/24/introducing-c...


I remember reading this a few years back and thinking it was insightful: https://commoncog.com/a-framework-for-putting-mental-models-.... Do give it a try. It has overlaps with Farnam Street's content.


mininet [1] can be used to emulate networks on a single computer. It is used to teach networking concepts.

What do you mean by single-box kubernetes?


Not the OP, but probably Minikube and similar.


I remember this talk about pricing strategy by one of their employees in a conference many years back (2017) - https://www.heavybit.com/library/video/value-based-pricing-s.... What I took away from that talk was that pricing can be unintuitive, for both the people setting it and buying it.


I just watched the whole video and didn't get that impression at all


Ok, thanks for sharing.


The only "unintuitive" part was developers saying the product needed to be $250/yr when the product person made it $2,500/yr which ended up being the right choice

Developers being absolutely terrible at pricing is not unintuitive (I'm a developer)


You can get rid of Step 2 if you're going to be creating a new S3 object for each batch. AWS has an inbuilt feature to trigger SQS notifications for S3 operations: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/enable...


The dupe detection on HN during submission doesn’t find much older submissions?


For much older submissions it doesn't try, because reposts on HN are fine after a year or so (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html).

There are a bunch of reasons for that, but two interesting ones are (1) historical material is particularly welcome here, and (2) we want cohorts of new users to get an 'education' in the 'classics'. It's too easy for grizzled veterans to assume that everyone has already seen the perennials, but even they once read The Story of Mel, or whatever, for the first time!


Since TinySeed was mentioned, felt like adding that its creator has a new book out called The SaaS Playbook: https://saasplaybook.com/
