macrofab.com - full pcb etching and routing with component assembly for SMBs or hobbyists. Although this technology exists to an extent today, I think eventually "2 day delivery" of fully assembled customed circuits + the ability to instantly scale up will enable a lot of new hardware innovation.

Agreed on MacroFab, though I think CircuitHub takes that concept to the next level by having project cloning and forking built in.

As an ethical vegetarian for the past five years, I've very interested in cultured (lab-grown) meat technology[1]. FWIW, I'm very happy with my diet and probably wouldn't switch back even if this does become affordable, but I'm 100% supportive of the concept of cruelty-free meat.

I am an ethical meat eater. I would rather eat grass fed beef and lamb than see the additional suffering of hundreds/thousands of rodents (let alone the tens of millions of insects) that me adopting a vegetarian diet would induce. Being poisoned or shredded in a harvester is not a cruelty-free way to die. On a more philosophical note, I think it is better to have lived and died than to not have ever existed. Given ve…

This is a new and surprising take.

https://prisma.io I love their Prisma 2 product. And it lives up to the hype, it is indeed a next generation ORM. Very useful when you're rushing to iterate.

I shied away from it because it didn’t seem to handle schema migrations well, but that was v1. Do you know if things have improved in v2?

Haven't seen an update for the release of AoE 4, really hoping they release a demo soon. Been dying to get back to a high quality RTS. I thought the AoE 2 games took a little too long, so hoping these ones are shorter on average.

They released a tragically short gameplay trailer [1] that revealed two fractions: England and Mongols. The r/aoe4 has quite active community and the following thread [2] summarizes all known information about the game.

How long were your games taking? From what I saw, pro games took less than half an hour because they knew how to press their advantage but amateurs would play it safe and build up a lead before their final attack. I have seen this pattern in other games too.

Anyone used appgyver? This one looks solid

It's wild because I used to intern at Applique which was purchased by Appgyver, not sure how much is still powered by or was ever powered by the Applique core. I feel like react native is more prominent, but also it could be just the people I interact with.

Check out Draftbit (YC 18) that generates React Native (Expo) code for ya! Connect any backend. We’re launching a lot of exciting features in the next couple weeks!

I’m one of the founders, would love to know what you think!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

What is “5d glass storage”? Do you have any links on good source of information?

Wow super cool. Doesn’t seem that far off either
