What do people think about the dots video? Seems to be a pattern now.

Revenue increasing 51% YOY, wth. Cake vendor cancels another one is found and an appointment that works has already been scheduled?

Are we so much bothered by the mundane? I feel like that's most of the human experience. If we cut out the time we spend sleeping and working, it's the boring and mundane things that make life beautiful.

pratioon Incident Report: Railway Blocked by Google Cloud (Resolved)

For those who come after me, curious about the video, here it is.

https://x.com/theo/status/2056946993407369300

https://xcancel.com/theo/status/2056946993407369300

Couldn't find it on yt.

Either way, I agree with blensor here, there's no new info on the railway incident itself but mostly about google's direction towards antigravity.

About the author of the video mentioning that he's scared, unfortunately, that has always been the case with Journalism/columnists etc, speaking ill of the platform which you use to sell your wares tends to backfire. Wish him all the luck

pratioon Show HN: OrcaSheets, local first analytics engine to process billions of rows

Congratulations on the release but the comparison with Tableau is just plain wrong? Not affiliated with them in any way, just using it on and off for over a decade.

OrcaSheets also has per seat pricing, except the local installer which only processes csvs?

Tableau server can also deployed on prem with all the features and there's definitely good pricing available on larger contracts :)

You seem to have a great product and the space is ripe for alternatives so you can just say it's cheaper and faster

pratioon MapLibre Tile: a modern and efficient vector tile format

Thank you. I'm going to try this on a different project that we have. Our current deployment is designed to work directly through s3/api gateway which reduces the number of moving parts.

We update the tiles frequently, so the setup has been amazing for us.

pratioon MapLibre Tile: a modern and efficient vector tile format

Oh wow, thank you, looking forward to this

pratioon MapLibre Tile: a modern and efficient vector tile format

Yes, Absolutely in love with it. Loading tiles with range requests made our application so much faster.

pratioon MapLibre Tile: a modern and efficient vector tile format

Absolutely, we have MVT tiles at the moment, I'm hoping to test MLT soon

pratioon MapLibre Tile: a modern and efficient vector tile format

This is interesting. We recently deployed a solution that uses pmtiles and it's great.

afaik, pmtiles uses mvt, let's hope the tooling to convert the tiles to mlt also becomes available.

pratioon Show HN: Marmot – Single-binary data catalog (no Kafka, no Elasticsearch)

We gave it a proper deployment and were blown away by the speed but in the end we need a lot of features. SSO/SAML is really important for not just access but also governance. We also miss the Snowflake and dbt plugin among others.

I saw the plugin system but having never written any production ready go code, it doesn't make sense to just use an LLM to generate code and pull requests which you then need to spend time reviewing.

Marmot is a wonderful project and I'm sure it'll be worth the wait.

pratioon Show HN: Marmot – Single-binary data catalog (no Kafka, no Elasticsearch)

Hey there, Great to see Marmot here and I'm a huge fan of your project. Recently, we deployed a catalog but we went with open-metadata https://open-metadata.org/ another amazing project.

What we missed on marmot was existing integrations with Airflow and other plugins like Tableau, PowerBI etc as well as other features such as sso, mcp etc.

We're an enterprise and needed a more mature product. Fingers crossed marmot reaches there soon.

pratioon Show HN: Tallyit.co/coparents – Split costs with your baby dady

imo eventually, your service will need to add an account as well because if you're splitting costs, there will be questions like "Who paid for this last time?". "I paid xx ofr this not x". Where's the invoice for this.

How does tallyit handle disputes when you send an invoice to someone and they don't agree?

pratioon Show HN: Tallyit.co/coparents – Split costs with your baby dady

We have been using splitwise https://www.splitwise.com/ for a better part of the decade to split costs. It’s also very useful when planning trips or group activities as it allows custom splits. Their phone app is extremely smooth too

pratioon Mozilla to shut down Pocket and Fakespot
