#142I’m sure some other clients do this too, but one of my favourite DBeaver features is that it will display geospatial column values in an embedded OpenStreetMap pane.
This is what keeps me coming back to DBeaver as well. I don't know of any other clients that support display of PostGIS geometry types.

#143Like most Java software, it's incredibly memory hungry.

Throwing another one out there… Azure Data Studio is finally matured and has extensions for MySQL and PostgreSQL.

This looks good. Anyone have experience with it?

I love the Eclipse IDE. It's a shame the Eclipse Foundation doesn't treat it better. Last time I tried to contribute to it, I ended up giving up. They wanted me to sign paperwork simply to report a bug. There was no documentation about how to build the IDE, which is scattered across dozens of repositories. Maybe that has improved, but I doubt it. They seem to be putting all their eggs into the Theia basket, which is…
Hi, I am an Eclipse Foundation committer, but I am not committing to the IDE itself. You don't have to sign the CLA (contributor license agreement) if you want to report a bug, but you have if you want to contribute code, even a small patch for a bug you found. That's a legal requirement to protect the Foundation from contributions that may copy/paste proprietary code and to ensure that you will not in the future cha…
Hey - don't know what part you contribute to, but thanks for the work whatever you are doing.
Eclipse has been my mainstay for ~20 years now, and while I know lots of people probably more authoritative than me will vehemently disagree, I honestly see it as one of the best pieces of software engineering ever made. The flexibility of the UI, the plugin system, incremental compile, the concept of perspectives and the overall stability delivered given how it is built - a complex ecosystem of cooperating plugins - is absolutely amazing. Now I've reached the point of making my own plugins and contributing to others my respect for it only increased.
It's definitely a complex tool and I think the vast majority of people fall over before they get over the hump of learning to use it. For more experienced users, many people still have in their head the image of Eclipse from 2007 and don't realise that it's been on a path of steady but slow linear improvement for more than a decade - another testament to the underlying engineering.

No, they could still have chosen to post it, even if they went along with that story. My point was that there is no need to prepare a defence against downvoters, that too, up front. Not needed at all. Why is their opinion important to the OP? They can have their opinions, he can have his opinion of the same matter. What's the problem? The problem is only if one thinks that HN karma is important. It's totally unimport…
Karma is unimportant, but downvotes fade away the comment. There is little point in making a comment that will disappear anyway, since no one will see it.
>Karma is unimportant, but downvotes fade away the comment.
So what? IMO, HN comments are also unimportant.
In fact, HN is also unimportant. I said that here on HN recently.
Jeez. Does anyone think HN is important in the real world?
In the HN world, HN may be important (and even then, only to some), but then it is an echo chamber.
>There is little point in making a comment that will disappear anyway, since no one will see it.
Maybe. Maybe not. Do you rate the importance or value of your comments by the number of people who see them?
>There is little point in making a comment that will disappear anyway, since no one will see it.
So what? So comment anyway, without bothering about it disappearing, just to express yourself, or refrain from commenting if the disappearing of your comment is so important to you.

Sort of like defence against possible downvoters. If OP went along the "father, son, and donkey story," then the OP won't have posted it at all.

That makes sense.
Why are you here, though?
