burcs

They are framework-agnostic, meaning you're not locked into Vue, React, Angular, or any specific framework. They work natively in the browser, which makes them reusable everywhere, now and in the future.

The cynic in me wants to say it’s because they aren’t VC backed so there’s no main catalyst driving them.

I don’t think a lot of people know about them, or if they do they have just heard about it in passing and have never actually used them.

Whatever the reason is they have a marketing problem that’s for sure.

I wanted to share an image but HN is saying it was too long of a comment so here's a much smaller example:

I love web components and am bullish on them breaking us out of the current frontend hellscape we have created for ourselves. I was recently able to give a short talk on the future of frontend, and it seemed like a lot of other people are hopeful for a way out as well.

As far as performance we built out a data table for our DB GUI that can load in hundreds of thousands of rows and the scrolling through is still buttery smooth.

We actually are getting ready to release our web component library, it's a bit early and rough around the edges but would love to get some more eyes on it! www.astra-ui.com

I was recently looking at keydb due to the licensing move and well I also liked the fact that the data can be encrypted at rest, but it looks like there hasn't been any activity on the repo in 5 months, anyone familiar with it or have good alternatives there?

Hey this is Brandon one of the founders of Outerbase, we're actually working on open-sourcing more of our product!

Of course our national bird would be "veal in taste and tenderness." The Bald Eagle truly is the modern day forbidden fruit.

What an amazing read, here's hoping they'll both be around for the 2044 edition. 101 is not too old to write another research paper Dr. Stonebraker!

I've heard a lot of people talk about algora.io I haven't used them myself though.

I can't the repo I think they may have since made it private, however they were released with an Apache 2.0 license so anybody can access/upload them.

They seem to be available here now: https://hexdocs.pm/google_api_content_warehouse/0.4.0/api-re...

How does this differ from reflex? https://github.com/reflex-dev/reflex

Yeah I agree on not being overly opinionated on this. SQL, NoSQL, for most applications as long as the data is stored somewhere reliably it doesn't matter.

Although, he's kind of losing me on this SQL/C++ hybrid, not sure I can get behind that one.

Yeah this is really frustrating to see Karri. You guys have built an amazing tool at Linear. I truly believe it has inspired everyone in the tech world who wants to build better software.

For this team to fully clone it, open-source it and then claim they were inspired by Linear is incredibly dishonest.

I know you already know this, what you all have built at Linear is a gold standard and the replicas wont be able to keep up.

Ha you found them, yeah that's his company.

This is fascinating really interesting to see how these are built first hand. My father-in-law is one of the only companies still building speed lathes and it's basically the same lathe they have built since 1937.

I'm pretty sure their customers range from SpaceX to Pharma co's and they are just a small shop in midwest PA.

Did you read the article?

Still, rising theft — part of what retailers call "shrink" — is the primary reason self-checkout is being ditched in some stores and restricted in others, according to Saunders.

What a shame, I used to hunt quite a bit but have all but stopped because I'd be covered in ticks each time.

We've been told recently of deer infected with CWD found near my grandparents farm (where I hunt). So I don't see myself going out much at all anymore, never was a trophy hunter, I do really like the taste of venison.

Brave of him for speaking out after what happened to John Barnett. Hope more people will listen to him and he will have a more fortunate outcome than the previous whistleblower.

Seems pretty worthless? Why would I want an AI trained from discord messages, that sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.

Does server side rendering still have better SEO than client side? I thought that was no longer the case, it's hard to find concrete evidence though.

I'm also curious why rendering something in the browser would have poor performance or wouldn't be optimally accessible?

We've got this slightly at www.outerbase.com – we don't quite have the globally distributed part of it, but we have a UI to create tables, SQL & AI querying, and data visualization.

I figured operating losses were to be expected in this field right now, but this part was surprising:

"The unit had revenue of $18.9 billion for 2023, down 31% from $27.49 billion the year before."

Why would revenue drop so dramatically when chip demand is at an all time high?

I hope so...

On one hand I think what Florida did banning social media for kids is a great idea, on another hand I wish it didn't have to come with government overreach and parents could be responsible enough with their kids. I really feel for these younger generations.

There's a "vocal fry" aspect to all of these voice cloning tools, a sort of uncanny valley where they can't match tones correctly, or get fully away from this subtle Microsoft Sam-esque breathiness to their voice. I don't know how else to describe it.

We actually built something that does this at Outerbase. ob1.outerbase.com it'll generate API endpoints as well, if you need them.

Going to got against the naysaying here. I understand that it might not follow best practices, but I can see a lot of benefit to this.

Imagine I want to test something fully offline, but my app was built using OpenAI's API's ideally I can do a quick swap now and have an offline compatible model.

Additionally, let's say I want to offer a free version of AI to my non-paying users, but for my paying users I can afford to allow them to use OpenAI, this will allow for an easier swap without having to rewrite everything.

I feel like viewport height (vh) kind of solved this. Designing for a specific height is janky but now you can just programmatically do it.

I don't know the overlap of anime & HN, but it would be really cool to see the events of Jujutsu Kaisen mapped out on here too. They do a really good job of using real landmarks and scenery in the show.

Pittsburgh, PA:

Pros: Affordable, good food, safe(ish), lot's of access to hiking/nature, CMU/tech-scene, doesn't feel overly crowded, and again it's really affordable.

Cons: Lack of good public transportation (having a car is a must), bad city planning (apparently planting a city around three rivers and a bunch of hills is hard), but honestly my biggest complaint is the lack of sunshine. It ranks in the top 5 grayest cities in the USA behind Anchorage, Alaska, Buffalo, New York, and a few others.

Come check it out, especially if you're into sports, PNC Park is one of the most beautiful baseball stadiums. I can't say much for the Pirates, but even if you aren't into sports it'll be a good time.

Also, on another note I think HTMX has successfully positioned itself as a meme, for better or worse. I have tried using it on a few side projects and I do like the simplicity of it, but is there a goal of it being credible software, or just something the creators are having fun with?
