Show HN: Arctype, a cross-platform database GUI for developers and teams 111 by justindeguzman | 44 comments Hi HN! I’m Justin, founder and CEO of Arctype, and we’re very excited to share Arctype with the community. Arctype is a cross-platform GUI (soon to be open-sourced) to manage and query your databases, with built-in collaboration and visualization. It currently supports Postgres, MySQL, and SQLite, as well as newer-generation databases like ClickHouse, PlanetScale, and Yugabyte (and more coming very soon!). Think of Arctype as “phpMyAdmin meets Postman”. Most of our team grew up learning how to program using the LAMP stack and we missed the experience of interacting with our databases using phpMyAdmin. We wanted to bring back the experience of a simple app that lets you explore and query your databases, but with an updated and modernized interface. At the same time, we were heavily inspired by the ease-of-use and collaboration features of Postman. We wanted to create a super use...

Show HN: Muse 2.0 with local-first sync 20 by adamwiggins | 80 comments Hey HN, I want to share with you something I and my four colleagues have been working on for the last several years. It’s a whiteboarding and notes tool called Muse[1]. We just released a 2.0 version which includes local-first sync. A little backstory: I’m one of the authors of the 2019 essay Local-first software[2]. (Past HN discussions[3][4].) The thesis is to reclaim some of the ownership over our data that we’ve lost in the transition from filesystems to cloud/SaaS. So I’m excited to bring CRDT technology “out of the lab” and into a commercial product as a chance to prove the value of local-first in real-world usage. As a developer and computing enthusiast, I care about abstract ideas like data ownership. But for most users I think the benefits of local-first will surface in how it feels to use the software day-to-day. One example is ability to work offline or in unstable network conditions: any changes betwee...

Show HN: SymForce – Fast symbolic computation, code generation, and optimization 52 by haykmartiros | 9 comments Author here. I’m unreasonably excited to share this library that we’re open-sourcing today — our team has been building it for five years and these ideas have been a passion of mine for fifteen. SymForce is a library that makes it easy to code a problem once in Python with an augmented SymPy API (backed by C++), experiment with it symbolically, generate optimized code in C++ or any backend language, and then run highly efficient nonlinear optimization problems based on the original problem definition. This workflow elegantly solves a wide variety of tasks in robotics and related domains, and can speed up common tasks by an order of magnitude while requiring less handwritten code and reducing the surface area for bugs. See our paper at https://arxiv.org/abs/2204.07889 for experiments (accepted to RSS 2022). We developed it at Skydio for real-time robotics algorithms like SLA...

Show HN: My free course for learning Imba 18 by trafnar | 1 comments Today I launched an Imba course for Scrimba.com. Imba is an amazing language for building web applications, that deserves more attention. Watch my announcement video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDSIsvZJhow Take the course (it's free): https://www.scrimba.com/learn/imba Some context: I fell in love with the Imba programming language a couple years ago and quit my job to spend all my time building projects with Imba. The first one being TaskTXT ( https://www.tasktxt.com ), a plaintext notepad with built-in timers. It's full of UI details that were a joy to build with Imba. Trying to build things like this with React in the past honestly made me feel dumb. Imba ( https://www.imba.io ) is a language that compiles to Javascript, like TypeScript or JSX. Imba's syntax diverges much more from Javascript, looking more like Python or Ruby. It's compatible with Javascript and Typescript and NPM modules. It ...

Ask HN: How can I stop my inbox/wishlist/bookmarks/tabs/todos from growing? 61 by miguelrochefort | 39 comments I have thousands of online accounts, hundreds of thousands of saved items (likes, bookmarks, papers, books, movies, videos, photos, files, open tabs, tasks), hundreds of inbox and feeds, and they just can't seem to stop growing. Inbox zero is now a rare occurrence, only made possible by abusing Gmail's snooze function. My phone, laptop, and clouds are full. Using personal finance analogies, should I: - Reduce my spending (unsubscribe, stop consuming feeds)? - Pay back my debt (consume the saved items)? Perhaps using the debt-snowball method? - Get more credit (file storage) so that I can spend (save items) more? - Declare bankruptcy (delete everything)? on Hacker News.

Ask HN: Why does nobody support h.265/HEVC anymore? 88 by formerly_proven | 91 comments It seems that right now there is no browser that supports h.265/HEVC even on hardware that can decode it - "Old Edge" used to, but "New Edge" does not. Neither Chrome nor Firefox support it (actually, both of those refuse to use any form of hardware decoding at all on my Windows box, only Edge uses it for VPx and h.264 - and of course every media player). The only exception is Apple with Safari. Why is this? h.265 can do a lot better than h.264 in some scenarios, but certainly isn't worse. And why, oh why, is debugging hardware video acceleration still such a nightmare, even on Windows? Firefox doesn't even seem to have it in about:support any more! And why is hardware video acceleration only a problem with browsers? I've never had any kind of problem with it with any media player, regardless of OS. It just works. But browsers - it seems to never work OOTB. Except fo...
