Nice! It'd be cool to support everything from PostgREST, that way people can build API-based tools on top of it and directly take advantage of the performance increases: postgrest.org/ I'm working on a...spreadsheet thing or

What’s the difference between this and server sent events in http2? You don’t need a live persistent connection to issue events?

Very cool and impressive!! Is full PostreSQL wire compatibility on the roadmap? I like postgres compatibility :)

A police officer's job is keeping order, and they're paid by the state, not directly by taxpayers. So they're enforcers for whatever order the state decides works for them. If left-wing groups paid police officers to run long

You bring up a great point. Right-wing groups are highly proactive about using every lever at their disposal to advance their agenda, including infiltration of government agencies. I don't think it has to be strictly right-wing groups,

by yingw787 6y ago
I think the reason police treat right-wing groups far more leniently than left-wing groups is because right-wing groups are much more likely to be armed and resist violently. Ruby Ridge. Waco. Oklahoma City. Right-wing groups have consisten

This is the first time I've heard of nCino. I haven't seen it mentioned on HN before. Yet it's probably more successful than many of our own ventures might be. A good reminder to stay humble and to always keep business fundam

For a contrary opinion, see this famous Hacker News post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18451311 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18442941 (parent) (or at least it's famous to me)

PWAs are going in that direction, but they don't have access to native storage, notifications, and other stuff. They're still mostly webapps, which is great for portability but not great for mobile UI/UX. I want the "nat

I really like the iPhone. Maybe not the full Apple ecosystem so much (everything else I own is Linux), but that's only because I think Linux is the best fit for me. iPhone is the same way, and Apple's business practices don't

This is nice! I want a homelab for my data, but I like AWS. It'd be cool to run my own personal database on this, and only run pg_backup to S3. RDS is too expensive for personal projects, but I'm not sure if free Heroku dynos and

Yeah, that was what I was worried about. Given how the past four years prove you can purchase a major U.S. political party for clearance prices, the bilateral security agreement underpinning Taiwan’s freedom may be gone when it’s needed mos

Sorry, pineapples, not coconuts. I don't remember having coconuts but the pineapples had no bitterness and the mangoes melted in your mouth!

What does the security situation look like in Taiwan, and how might it change within the next decade or so? Besides that I <3 Taiwan!! As a tourist I loved pineapple cakes, beef noodle soup, night markets, high-speed trains, and plenty o

I purchased Zoom during its IPO, then sold half my stock @ 105, then sold the remainder @ 62. My thinking was, "if the stock is this volatile, how will it do during a recession?" Sigh. Right now, I think buying Zoom is, even with

by yingw787 6y ago
I'm not sure I agree with Zoom's strategy here. Adtech can get away with compromising user's privacy because users aren't customers, they're eyeballs for advertisers. Zoom by contrast does primarily B2B sales, and c

Ooooooh interesting! Does it integrate with streaming or realtime services / db solutions? What's the max load you've tried out so far? Would you offer on-prem like Metabase?

I wonder if it's bigger than Sealand: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principality_of_Sealand When I look at the list of demands I'm pretty quick to dismiss it. Then I remember how I dismissed the 1999 WTO prot

Oh cool! Kinda wish you had url params vs. having to curl with request data (kinda like https://cors-anywhere.herokuapp.com/ ), but wayyy better than nothing!

I think `jq`'s syntax is a bit different than bare JSON (I do basic stuff like `echo $CHANNELS_RESPONSE | jq -r ".public_identifier"`), I think it'd be like running a bash script as an input to a query :) Also not sure w

by yingw787 6y ago
I started using `jq` for my API project and I have to say it makes JSON munging much nicer on the command line. I think it'd be really cool in order to have a `jq` based redirection service, where you can paste in the URL of the API yo

I'm on sabbatical right now because I get how frustrating that can be. That being said, maybe me sharing some points about my sabbatical can help put things into perspective: - It's taken four months since my project (a personal-u

I am so glad I put off making the frontend for my project. It's literally all tables, and I didn't like how DataTables functioned. So glad you made this and looking forward to trying it out!!
