Hmm, the obvious difference is that it's a completely different tool that does a completely different job.

Not bad! Could do with a layout option so the relations are easier to see.

The OG of DB table designers is the SQL Server database diagrams feature, and before that MS Access, and there is still room for improvement in this tool. Obviously saving changes back to your db (and migration scripts) is the most important feature, git tracking of schema changes would be good.

It's probably 64-bit and they just call it x86 on their website. Needs an option to choose where models get downloaded to as your typically C: drive is an SSD with limited space.

Cool, it's a bit weird that the Windows download is 32-bit, it should be 64-bit by default and there's no need for a 32-bit windows version at all.

So what we're saying is, if there was less water then I could have really big back yard. Things may get a little crispy though.

This is impressive work, I greatly appreciate the "lightweight" aim but would it not make sense to use Servo, perhaps with build feature flags to reduce size?

This is rad.

See also https://github.com/WireGuard/wireguard-rs - also no longer maintained. Weird that this is linked on front page of HN now.

That was true at the start, but it's most definitely funded development now and that's what will probably get them over the finish line.

If the development work went into debating, specifying and expressing required behavior as a written spec more exactly (beyond w3c specs and towards the more pragmatic reality of what current browsers actually do) then very long term we can probably have engines that are AI built [or just more easily developed by humans] from a combination of the written specs and the set of tests they need to pass.

Using AI for adversarial development (e.g. one group tries to break and hack it, the other group defends and refines) could get interesting and wasn't really an option before. Anything that's now available to reduce the human resource cost of development could make a big difference.

Cool, but the point of having stuff in Rust is to ideally have everything in Rust, or you're by definition not getting all the safety benefits of Rust.

If you're comfortable spending $2M+ and 2 years building, then maintaining and renewing that software continuously for the life of the business then go for it!

In reality all big business become software companies eventually, but the really big ones tend to lean towards customizing a vendor product (e.g. SAP) to replace their collection of built-from-scratch tools. I'm not in the logistics business but if that's not SAP then I'm not sure what is.

Look cool, I used HomeByMe for similar stuff when planning an extension. It had the benefit of optional offline render for photorealistic output, nowadays you could perhaps export the scene as GLTF and send it to blender.

Yes we offer if as a "Cloud Managed License". We had intended to do AWS etc as well but traditional online purchasing via Stripe or Paypal is still the bulk of our license purchases.

Agree all the hooks and infrastructure you need to put in place are a pain and it's also difficult to debug if someone has an issue (one guy couldn't cancel for an unknown reason).

It does bring leads, but not many. The main advantage is giving them an easy procurement path.

Thanks :) - yes 90% of users are using the free version. It's a desktop app you install on servers. The API elements it does have are a combination of cloudflare workers, a windows server (for customer portal), linux for community discourse. Peak API use so far is 350M requests per month (was about $46 on cloudflare) but have managed to curtail that a bit. https://certifytheweb.com

One trick I may or may not have invented for the enterprise PO problem (manual processes etc) was to offer an Azure Marketplace subscription for the product.

That way they can just go to azure and subscribe to the license that way, without needing any azure resources etc, it's just a billing mechanism.

They can then bundle that into their usual Azure spend and even do manual POs etc that I never have to deal with.

I have a similar style of business, ~10K customers, ~150k users, ~7yrs.

The key points are:

- offer email support, but don't offer phone, video calls or remote support. This works for most people and forces them to properly phrase questions instead of just "jumping on a call" (so you can then effectively train them over the phone, which doesn't scale).

- offer as much self-service as possible

- work at your own pace and it's ok to just not work some days.

- finding a niche is hard, but they can be surprisingly basic. You're just saving someone time, effort, worry etc.

- lean on global cloud services for reliability. Let them do that.

The problem here is nobody milk-related cares and it would most likely get bought by a VC funded startup and become the name of some sort of AI js bundler tool.

Seems more of a basic Heads Up Display than what we would normally refer to as AR.

The girl on the supermarket checkout said she hoped her computer wouldn't be affected. I knowingly laughed and said "you probably don't have on your own computer unless your a bank".

She said, "I installed it before for my cybersecurity course but I think it was just a trial"

Assumptions eh.

It absolutely does require capacity at the local power distribution, either they have it spare or it has to be added.

Spare capacity will depend on the planning in place at the time of sizing the power distribution, e.g. if it was going to be a growing industrial area or not, otherwise they have to either fund the upgrade or wait for distribution kit to get old and be replaced.

First problem is that such systems are typically easy to game with a script to trigger /listen from multiple IPs etc.

I once demonstrated this when a telecoms giant ran a very similar music popularity contest (around 24 yrs ago) and they were not amused. Everyone else was most bemused at my mid-paced metal instrumental No.1.

Yawn. GraphSQL company promotes their blog. How does this make the front page?

If we had a complete and evolving set of requirements for any reasonably complex system, we wouldn't really read them once they no longer match the system we have delivered.

Systems and requirements go hand in hand but the reality is requirements are eventually codified, and after a point only the system matters because the system is the reality and the requirements were just the formal inspiration.

I would love to see automated requirement analysis and verification from code.

So a bit like Hashicorp Vault (in that it has a locally accessed secrets store) but backed by AWS Secrets Manager.

It depends :)

If your app does something on the users local machine (or a server) and cannot just exist in a browser then there is room for a desktop app.

You can run a local web server on a high port and connect to that as the web UI but not that many apps get away with that approach.

Sure, but I need it embedded (so my app controls the installed version it needs).

Use this a lot, doesn't seem to get many releases but it looks like there's one coming soon.

Pro tip: before launching on HN stick your site behind Cloudflare first so they can cache most of your traffic.

Yeah we do this as well. Have previously been a heavy MongoDB user but when we migrated to Postgres (using some relational schema with some JSONB for nested objects etc) it just made querying so much easier and reliability has been great.
