mariushn··on Launch HN: Narrator (YC S19) – a data modeling platform built on a single table
Thanks. Interesting approach!
mariushn··on Launch HN: Narrator (YC S19) – a data modeling platform built on a single table
If I understand correctly:

1. you define activities, each with an associated SQL query eg customer opened support ticket: SELECT * FROM tickets WHERE customer_id=$customer_id

2. users use Narrator UI to build a report, similar to Looker

3. Narrator creates a table for that report in the same db and populates it with data, based on 1.

4. Narrator maintains all the reports tables (updates, deletes when report is deleted)

?

mariushn··on PostgreSQL 13
Anyone can share what makes PostgreSQL so successful? Maybe other projects can learn adopt a few of these good practices.

How are the team members funded? I was surprised to write a suggestion a few months ago and got replies from Tom Lane & Bruce Momjian themselves.

mariushn··on Roughly 2000 blogs running on a $7/month dyno
The difference is between $7 and $50. If you want (auto)scaling, even manual, you need "Production-tier dynos", cheapest being $25. 2 of those is $50.
mariushn··on Microsoft Launcher for Android
Since the only way to use Firefox search instead of Google search on main screen is to replace the launcher, I discovered Microsoft Launcher for Android. Simple & quick.

A nice gem: hidden apps. One can hide most Google & device forced apps which are never used.

mariushn··on The Most Likely Way You’ll Get Infected with Covid-19
I'm washing most products (lemons, bottles, plastic containers...) with water& soap. Isn't it good enough?
mariushn··on Vue.js 3
Why is IE11 support still important now? I can't find exact stats on it, but it seems <2%. Surely projects which still want to support IE11 could still stick for a while with Vue2.
mariushn··on Grouparoo: Open-source app to sync customer data with 3rd party tools
First, thanks for providing the `npm install` way to run it. Too many apps require Docker and that's it.

Question: Could we use Grouparoo to replace mixpanel? Would we need to build the client side to collect events and dump that into Grouparoo?

mariushn··on Electric cooker an easy, efficient way to sanitize N95 masks, study finds
> I just rotate over a period of about a week in brown paper bags.

Why the brown paper bags? Do these ensure better evaporation?

Wouldn't simply keeping the mask somewhere kill the virus in 3-4 days? Or, what would be the best way to ensure this within 3-4 days without any damage to the mask?

mariushn··on Reddit and LinkedIn apps also caught copying and pasting clipboard contents

mariushn··on Openstreetmap, a global map for worldwide insight
In Providers, would you please list other API services, besides tiles?

1. Autocomplete places

Mapbox has one, but I found many examples of villages present in OSM, but not in Mapbox. I wrote to support with specific examples and links to OSM, eg https://www.openstreetmap.org/search?query=dalghiu#map=13/45...

but they didn't even reply in 10 days (no support contract).

2. Directions (route, distance & time)

Thanks

mariushn··on Ask HN: I implemented the life I designed: perfect but I feel lost. What now?
Any tips on how to get started on this?
mariushn··on SpaceX NASA returning human spaceflight to United States today (canceled)
Thanks for the informative comment & 2003 story!
mariushn··on SpaceX NASA returning human spaceflight to United States today (canceled)
Is the touch screen usable during lift-off / landing? I'm thinking gravity (4+g?) and trepidations is making it hard to touch a specific spot.

Or, maybe there isn't much to do manually during this phase, and for the little things there are some classic controls.

mariushn··on Try Linux
Reminds me of an article from 2003, talking about wasted resources on too many similar apps: http://freshmeat.sourceforge.net/articles/too-much-free-soft...
mariushn··on Shopify Email, a built-in Mailchimp alternative
After Mailchimp decided not to provide the extra data asked by Shopify and was kicked off from Shopify platform, I was expecting Mailchimp to quickly launch a way to sell products online. They also acquired LemonStand.

Nothing from them. Instead...

Too bad for other email marketing platforms as well. Partner until you're no longer needed.

mariushn··on Show HN: Pantry – Free JSON Storage for Personal Projects
Hi, found an earlier comment of yours mentioning you changed to being a hotel owner. We make a free hotel PMS -- would you like to get in touch and see how we can make it better for you? https://hoteliera.com/

mariushn··on Portable Ultrasound Proves a Potent Weapon in the Fight Against Covid-19
> And we wonder why healthcare is so expensive in the US.

Because it's a business. The purpose is revenue across the chain, not health.

mariushn··on The crash of the global flower trade
Right. I was imagining that poor people without food can't pay too much for vegetables, while others in EU/US can pay more for flowers.
mariushn··on The crash of the global flower trade
Meanwhile in South Africa there are food issues... Why not plant vegetables instead of flowers?

Also to note: workers get $70/mo, while all other middle-men involved get more.

mariushn··on The plans to reopen the economy are scary
I proposed an app [1] owned by WHO to do the tracking, almost nobody cared. Now governments will handle it, as they want.

mariushn··on Jitsi Meet Electron 2.0
That makes sense!
mariushn··on Jitsi Meet Electron 2.0
So, how to improve Electron?

Does it use a new instance for every app, or it loads the engine once and reuses some of it for every instance? ie. can Electron be made to work like a system shared library, similar to GTK/Qt ?

mariushn··on Firm wielding Theranos patents asks judge to block coronavirus test
Our country's state of emergency declaration says government can take ownership of anything it wants (eg hotels to use as hospitals, factories to make disinfectant).

Why doesn't the same apply to patents and drugs?

mariushn··on ReMarkable’s redesigned e-paper tablet is more powerful and more papery
Thanks for listing these. Hopefully the makers listen. Glad it's not hardware.

I'd also love an open Kindle alternative. This is too much for my budget, but hope prices will come down in 1 year.

mariushn··on Most airlines face bankruptcy by end of May, industry body warns
What are the pros & cons of governments bailing out airlines?

The virus spread so fast thanks to airlines. I think more expensive plane tickets make sense: cut back some of the travel & emissions, make people look more into local holidays, make companies look more into video conferencing.
