> Postgres as it's built now lacks any semblence of extensibility PostGIS. pgvector. TimescaleDB. Citus. pg_cron. pgmq. Apache AGE. ParadeDB. hstore. plv8. postgres_fdw. pg_partman…

A benchmark without Opus 4.6/4.7 feels incomplete.

I got tired of doing rough napkin math on whether to elect S-Corp for my LLC, so I built a calculator over the weekend. Most tools I found either ignore state/city taxes, charge yo…

I generally agree that one database instance is ideal, but there are other reasons why Postgres everywhere is advantageous, even across multiple instances: - Expertise: it's just S…

Async django is not for the faint of heart, but it's definitely possible in 2025. I recently wrote about issues debugging this stack[1], but now I feel very comfortable operating a…

Haven't deployed production Java in years, so I won't speak to it. However, even with Go's static binaries, I'd like to leverage the same build and deploy process as other stacks. …

Even when running things in their own box, I likely want to isolate things from one another. For example, different Python apps using different Python versions. venvs are nice but …

Hard disagree. I've used Docker predominantly in monoliths, and it has served me well. Before that I used VMs (via Vagrant). Docker certainly makes microservices more tenable becau…

Consider: https://github.com/musistudio/claude-code-router or even: https://github.com/sst/opencode Not affiliated with either one of these, but they look promising.

That makes sense, though a bit disappointing. One hope of using Postgres as a task queue is simplifying your overall stack. Having to host RabbitMQ partially defeats that. I'll sta…

I'm super interested in a Postgres-only task queue, but I'm still unclear from your post whether the only broker dependency is PostgreSQL. You mention working towards getting rid o…

I'm curious if this supports coroutines at tasks in Python. It's especially useful for genAI, and legacy queues (namely Celery) are lacking in this regard. It would help to see a m…

Looks very cool, planning on giving it a try. Also appreciate transparency around pricing.

That's fair, a lot of these features do not require a beefy processor. I think the value lies in the AW being a full-featured platform. Its processor is overkill for the lightest u…

Some of the features I use on my Apple Watch all the time: - Turn-by-turn directions with full-featured map apps. - Stream and control podcasts. - Ditto Audiobooks. - As a remote s…

At Atticus AI, we're on a mission to make legal understanding more accessible to everyone. After building our contract analysis tool and talking to folks, we noticed a common use-c…

Offtopic: I find a lot of the langchain hate is misplaced and misguided. Sure, if you want to ship a weekend project using the LLM APIs directly is probably fine. But I've gotten a…

For hybrid search

Any plans to support sparse vectors?

Thanks, I'm a sucker for word play!

Hi HN, My name is Darlin and along with @controtie we’ve been working on an app to make contract negotiations easier for consultants, freelancers and other individuals. Earlier thi…
