I love jQuery syntax. It's still way tigheter than standards-based stuff, never understood all the crapping on it.

Real talk. https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/894C0144-5BCC-41C... set_user extension is AFICT essential for scaling user-per-role.

Big difference is it's implemented in pl/pgsql so as Aquameta evolves, there's no external deps. There's a function called endpoint.request(http_verb, URL, post vars) and then it does the rest in plpgsql. A thin Go dae

Thanks for remembering Aquameta and stay tuned! Some cool new stuff coming out shortly.

I ran a BBS in the 90s, nothing big but it had a small local community, some of them just users (lusers) and some of the sysops of other boards. I only had one phone line but call waiting would just kick the user off if I got a call. It w

I like this policy. Heck, given today's climate I love this policy.

Yes, sorry. It's in a state of major upheaval. I'll get it cleaned up ASAP. Nice to see there's actually some interest in this direction from others!

Check out Aquameta, a web dev stack built entirely in PostgreSQL (self-plug): http://github.com/aquametalabs/aquameta There's a ton down this rabbit hole. One of the great anomalies of our industry is that we&#x

Hi HN, I'm Eric Hanson, the guy behind the Aquameta project ( http://aquameta.org ). With Aquameta, I'm trying to to break down the technical barriers between users and developers by putting the development stack in the

Agree about no-code. But UI that generates code is a pretty cool paradigm. For most common patterns, end users don't need to know that there's a bunch of boilerplate code under the hood, but if that isn't sufficient, that

Fair enough. I agree in the sense that typing isn't what takes up my programming time. 1000 lines of code at 100 wpm (which most coders could beat) is what, 10 minutes? I wish. I've spent hours on a single regex. I think effic

Put everything in the database! Directories are dumb, the world is not a tree it's a graph. Files are dumb, they don't have constraints or decent metadata. Syntax is latent structure. Config files are just a featureless databa

I wish more people thought like Zapier too. Their pipe flow designer thing is pretty star trek. The world is chock full of shit software that people have to use eight hours a day and absolutely hate. I mean, seriously, hate to the point o

Yeah I think it takes a special mind to use today's dev environment, but the distance from where we are today, to an interrogative system creator (which is a pretty cool idea btw) is eons; there has to be something more in the middle

Not a lot of support for his sentiments here it seems, but to understand where he's coming from you probably need to see the research he has been doing, largely aimed at entirely different modes of programming -- visualizing boolean

Can the 400 receive a bluetooth signal and act like a remote speaker? Specifically is the bluetooth hardware capable of that?

Has anybody seen any work where CRDTs get insight into conflict resolution using the underlying grammar of whatever text is being written (aka English, Javascript, regex, etc.)? Seems like the conflict resolution could do a better job if i

To derefr's point, I'll also point to the "meta" PostgreSQL extension (part of the Aquameta project, which I maintain) whose purpose is to provide a more readable version of information_schema: https://github.

Interesting. I don't mind adding additional daemons to the system if it's essential. But, Tor also (as I understand it, given that this is a ways outside my core competency) adds a whole encryption and anonymization layer, which
