Are you talking about the website, which gives a warning due to some http graphics (which we need to fix), or the cert issue when connecting to the console of TerminusDB/Hub? The first we can fix quickly (and is just on the community p

Yes - we noticed that about the hardcoded http graphics! Need to fix. Thanks for that and the typo spotting.

We use succinct data structures to represent our graphs. Succinct data structures are self indexing data structures that approach the information-theoretic minimum size of representation. Additionally, all the compute is on the local machin

Core team here! Amazing to launch after years of work. Computers are fantastic things because they allow you to leverage much more evidence when making decisions than would otherwise be possible. It is possible to write computer programs th

Interesting talk on how Facebook fits into a left analysis of capitalism and what work needs to be done to find something better. tl;dr facebook is like your husband in the patriarchy and replacing it with something better is hard due to th

Cryptographic stamps on hash chains to understand who made specific entries to a layered & immutable database is super useful. I don't know who needs to hear that as it isn't blockchain, but it borrows the best ideas!

The critique is that the Economist has a single solution to all complex problems and is confident to wave that wand even thou the reality - in most such transitions - is enormous, disastrous instability and war. It utterly ignores the hand

The shallow pro market idealism that too often colors the Economist's analysis is hard to swallow. Give me the confidence to pronounce: 'If Arab rulers want citizens to pay their way, they will need to start earning their consent&

That is interesting, thanks. As you can probably imagine, I fall in the build business logic into data with constraints at the schema layer. Yes, I understand that FB have a bunch of MySQL instances with a hacked graph layer - same in other

Yes, as I say, we tried postgres as a DB running a graph layer and found it impossibly slow for network oriented queries (shortest path etc.). The article is certainly taking a strong position, but I think it can boil down to the new base l

There was a Dgraph blog about why you should build your next app on a graph database on HN yesterday ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23783923#23784866 ). I think it made a number of very valid points, but it was imho h

It the section where you criticize graph is unfair. 1. All databases can be immature. 2. There is a whole world of graph DBs where strong schema support is the cornerstone of the system (TerminusDB, Stardog etc.). 3. Some relational Dbs

Some graph databases, like TerminusDB and others, give strong ACID guarantees and enforce data integrity - you can have the best of all worlds

Agree strongly with this sentiment. I always found it very clunky and hard to use. We migrated to Discord for our recently remote office. So much better. Chat is better. Voice rooms are great. Visibility is great. Granted, we are a small sh

Thanks for this - really interesting (Luke from Terminus here). We have engaged plenty with some reinsurance folk around some query use cases (recursive stuff to better understand risk), but that was before we did a lot of the git-like stuf

This is a really important point - I am reminded of a story of the 'Greek' occupation of 'Rome' in 1912: On 8 October 1912, the island of Lemnos became part of Greece after being captured from the Ottoman Empire. Peter C
