"soulless regression-to-the-mean", damn that's quote of the day.

I used to telnet into my POP3 account and check email by protocol. Shucks.

I love jQuery syntax. It's still way tigheter than standards-based stuff, never understood all the crapping on it.

Real talk. https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/894C0144-5BCC-41C... set_user extension is AFICT essential for scaling user-per-role.

Big difference is it's implemented in pl/pgsql so as Aquameta evolves, there's no external deps. There's a function called endpoint.request(http_verb, URL, post vars) and then it d…

Thanks for remembering Aquameta and stay tuned! Some cool new stuff coming out shortly.

My sister just got diagnosed with lupus.

You know the Nazis had pieces of flair that they made the Jews wear.

This is so frickin' cool.

Hi HN, I'm Eric Hanson, the guy behind the Aquameta project ( http://aquameta.org ). With Aquameta, I'm trying to to break down the technical barriers between users and developers …

Agree about no-code. But UI that generates code is a pretty cool paradigm. For most common patterns, end users don't need to know that there's a bunch of boilerplate code under the…

Fair enough. I agree in the sense that typing isn't what takes up my programming time. 1000 lines of code at 100 wpm (which most coders could beat) is what, 10 minutes? I wish. I'v…

Put everything in the database! Directories are dumb, the world is not a tree it's a graph. Files are dumb, they don't have constraints or decent metadata. Syntax is latent structu…
