Very exciting! sounds like we're finally leaving x86 behind

Important question for me as well. As a solo amateur developer I don't have time to keep up with the constant development of all the different platforms.

I love the idea of this tool.

This came just at the right time. I'm putting together a series of animations for patient education. In trying to make things cross-platform I had to resort to AE and non-interactive video. Lottie looks like it will enable me to string together something nicer, using native drawing functionality, and can incorporate more interactivity.

Would love to learn more about this single billion dollar mistake

Are there comparable speech-to-text or conversational agent APIs in the Azure or Google Cloud ecosystems?

What does IBM mean by “cognitive computing”?

I believe deepstream which received good feedback on HN also solves a similar problem.

With such proliferation of self hosted FireBase, can anyone in the know share their experiences with these solutions?

Looks fascinating. Setup of the open source version seems quite involved, are there containers I can use to try it out?

For my applications in healthcare I'm often forced to use in-house servers.

That is fascinating. Can you share some references on this?

As a Google Voice user I can't get messages from iMessage, and the sender doesn't get a delivery failure notice.

what kinds of JVM issues did you run into in deployment? for personal projects I have always used C++, Python, RoR, MEAN, etc. but at work where my role is non-dev, our software dev team likes Java and the heavy weighted GWT... frankly shutting me out. I'd love to know how to convince them to switch out of Java.

Thank you for the examples.

I made some queries that are analogous to my temporal query needs

Here I'm looking for every student, other students with DOB within 2 weeks of the given student: http://demo.htsql.org/student.define(similar_students:=%20(s...

Here for every semester with at least one student, I find the oldest and the youngest students enrolled: http://demo.htsql.org/semester%20.define(starting_students:=...

No being a computer scientist I have to admit I do not appreciate the intricacies of the 'problems with SQL' blog entries. But working with htsql I gotta say it seems a lot more intuitive than SQL. It feels like the logic correspond much better to my mental model. And that there is much less of the jumping up and down the code to nest my SQL code logic that I find myself doing all the time.

Is there a way to install this on a PostgresQL instance on Win8?

I have found SQL to be cumbersome for expressing temporal relationships, eg find all the event As that happen within one week of event B. There's not necessarily a data schema link between the table for event A and the table for event B.

how does htsql do with this?

interesting! that seems to be consistent with my experience. I can never work at my quiet office where just sitting down bores me to tears and puts me to sleep in less than an hour. working at a cafe on the other hand I can go on for hours.

Do you have more info on the introvert/extrovert link?

Source? I don't think this is the case
