I like to reuse code I've already written. But with so many projects over the many years, it's sometimes hard to remember which project I did a given thing in or even what the parameters of a rarely used Win32 API function are. I needed something that could easily find what I needed without the slowness of a recursive grep (especially since my projects can span many different locations in the filesystems and even many different computers/OSes) or the increasing difficulty in getting what you want from search engines on the internet. This search engine implements TF-IDF and BM25 algorithms. It…

Obviously, part of the appeal of a foldable phone is all that additional screen real estate. That gives you plenty of room for some serious multitasking that just isn't possible, or at the very least is clunky, on a smaller screen. Apple rarely does things without seriously considering all the implications, so it was never […]

The general idea is that this runs a web app on the host machine which is then exposed through a front door implementation like tailscale/netbird/cloudflare tunnels etc. A lot of devs/teams are building sth very similar to this right now so there are many options out there already but I w…

Hi HN, I am Dimitris. This is a company OS that I built and use to run my business and anyone can install it and self host it for free.

Don't get me wrong, core PostgREST concept is good. But I do think that stuff like Haskell and PlSQL should not be used in production.
