If you want to serious develop postgres as how you develop code, then you should also use a LSP. https://github.com/supabase/postgres_lsp

Hmm, maybe this is what is cauing this problem with north pole? https://www.newsweek.com/earth-magnetic-north-pole-follows-u...

Yeah humans are not too good at gracefully paradigm shifting. That is why in academia people usually wait for the old ones to die off before something truly new can be introduced. I'm not singling out academia, this is pretty much all over the the place.

This Star Trek just to show no matter how technologically advanced we are, we are still don't like go out side of our world view. Kind makes one thing should we all be focusing on technological advances, or how we can more gracefully shifting our paradigm, instead of waiting for old guys to die off.

SQL is a programming language! It is just declarative. And most programmers are associating imperative programming language as programming language. [1]

I found while declarative and functional programming languages are not as often used, however learning them made me a better programer.

Apple had a file manager call x-space or something like that. Basically see your files in 3d space like game. It got killed by Steve of course at some point.

would say that about many tech geeks. What's the saying goes:

'laziness is the mother of all tech invention'...

This is kind of corporate politics that is ruining the tech industry.

Hopefully this will bring back website that is focus being on being lightweight, and just display information (or gemini type of alternative), and discourage the SPA development fiasco that has happened.

Looks like pre-newton type of system!

Nice to see some cognitive semiotics surfacing on HN.

It is good to see people on HN are supporting this single db approach. And with development such OrioleDB, it would solve the horizontal scaling. And all the access to data are native.

> Most of my open source work was in the pre-GitHub days when we used mailing lists, not pull requests, to build community. I do think there was something better about that for the project itself as it encouraged a lot more discussion and community building. PR's and Issues become silos and are not great for general discussion. I think they also encourage drive-by contributions which honestly are intoxicating initially but once you see people are not coming back become defeating.

Glad some said it. When things are too organised or categorised it just becomes another business/todo list.

There is also https://minios.dev/en/ and an HN link regarding a tons of other linux on USB options. I agree with the author. With USB in 1TB size range, easy to carry and backup. Why do I even need cloud?

Or as another German said "Language is the house of being." ;-)

Not really US style! As someone once said: "US is run by lawyers, and China engineer." And it is very telling how they both approach this issue of territory expansion.

This is type of stuff make me not like big corp, the culture and company value eventually corrupts. And if you are like Apple, after the charismatic founder dies, pretty much it goes to shit as well.

I'm not sure where the founder is from, but seems like he has Asian connections. And over there these type of super app (WeChat) that can do everything for you is quite very common. It would also make sense to centralise everything if it wasn't because this 800 lb of surveillance capitalism gorilla elephant in our metaphorical internet room.

what about A frame housing? Is that easier? Don't know much about building house. Just heard it is an easy way to build house with friends and some help.

Many many years ago (maybe middle 2000's), while working for a company (Flickr competitor) that has customised a Gallery (an open source PHP photo album online). The version we forked doesn't use db, rather a file to keep track of each gallery at the root of the folder. So technically I told my boss that it is infinitely scalable. However it is really difficult to search and run reports on these databaseless Gallery nodes. Database a long with word processing and spreadsheets are one these early days 'killer apps' that reflected the usefulness of that type of computing usage for humans.

Word, the truly hard part of self-hosting is IP warming, and fill out those dame form to FANNG to get white listed, it is a rabbit hole that take forever with no end.

Fine for big corp are just cost of doing business. All the big corp have some money stashed away for that purpose. It is all about working out with the AG on what the fine will be.

wow thanks for the architectural info. This is what I like about HN.

Hmm, that looks quite like a ripe off of the Central Post & Telegraph Head Office in Denmark.

At this point the whole greenwash thing, do I really want drop one environmental disaster tech for another? With old car it is at least the devil we know, and it is superior tech from user point of view.

What you are describing has being happening for a long time in tech. It was suppose to make our life easier and do things we don't want to do, but has it? Seems like we are just become salves of digital technologies now days.

Instead what we got instead are surveillance capitalism and now this LLM/AI stuff that becomes much better are emulating human behaviour and languages. UX in software has NOT improved, and I dare to say it has gotten worse. Just feel the performance of iOS 6 on iPod touch vs the lates iOS. Tech over quarter century has just tech getting more complex, and made more easily to centralised and consolidate control. Is this what we really want?

they are a good company, the only tip I would recommend, if you don't have a beefy system. Is install Pop_OS so it has all the GPU support etc, and then just run some lightweight WM. That switch got me a boast on the speed of an old laptop.

Likewise, most algorithms and data structures is to give the developer an idea how expensive it is to run. And these are often the things that people who studied CS has an edge over the self-taught ppl. However, I have too not written those things since college a long time ago.

>We must have a GPU hardware programming "standard" first. Isn't that what WebGPU has become?

>I think the internet and the open source movement had a similar effect, in that if you did not attempt a project that you had some small interest in, it would only be a matter of time before someone else did enough of a similar problem for you to reuse or repurpose their work, and this led to an explosion of (often useful, or at least usable) applications and libraries.

Being developing before when Mac had b&w screen (system 6?). Had so many good ideas just didn't work on them for whatever reason, and eventually someone did them. Maybe it is just tech people run into the same problem, or collective tech unconscious, the longer you have being around, eventually people in the industry will try to solve the problems. These occurrences goes to show me that there are really aren't many true original ideas out there, a lot of it comes down to implementation, PR, funding, geopolitics, your users and luck.
