Show HN: pg-bulk-ingest – Now with multi-table support https://bit.ly/4bMOCkn

Show HN: pg-bulk-ingest – Now with multi-table support I (with others) made a Python utility for loading data into PostgreSQL incrementally from ETL-ish pipelines. Its API supported ingesting into multiple multiple tables at the sort of "structural" level from its beginning (more or less), but didn't actually support it if you tried to do it. And I've been umming and ahhing on how best to do it. No way seemed perfect... ... but pushed by an actual use case, I finally made a decision and did it. https://bit.ly/48cX6xW February 11, 2024 at 07:58AM

I found an old VHS tape at a yard sale. It was labeled "Bitwise Liminal" in sharpie. But when I watched the video it was only static. Then I started having vivid and... unsettling dreams. Also I couldn't stop thinking about that weird VHS tape. After researching I learned it was a digital backup. Using some special software I recovered the data. To my shock, it was a 256 byte program... With trembling hands I opened it in a web browser. Strange. This reminds me of the dreams I've been having. Now I don't need to sleep anymore. I just keep watching. ... l ɐ u ᴉ ɯ ᴉ ⅂ ǝ s ᴉ ʍ ʇ ᴉ ᗺ

Show HN: A Sudoku solver in TypeScript's type system https://bit.ly/3uiYVM8

Show HN: A Sudoku solver in TypeScript's type system GitHub: https://bit.ly/3uiYWQc... Hi HN! I wrote a small file that solves sudoku puzzles at the type level - that is, entirely within TypeScript's type system, with no runtime code. To play with it, scroll down to the bottom (below where it says "BEGIN TESTING") and check out the examples. You can "run" the solver by hovering over the name of the type (e.g. SudokuEasySolved). Also, if you haven't seen it already, I did the same thing with Conway's Game of Life: https://bit.ly/484RmYi :) https://bit.ly/3w77RV8 February 11, 2024 at 02:39AM

Show HN: A platform for remote piano lessons based on the Web MIDI API https://bit.ly/49c8b3A

Show HN: A platform for remote piano lessons based on the Web MIDI API I'm building a video conferencing app designed to facilitate better remote piano lessons. My hope is to solve a lot of the challenges piano tutors and new students deal with when taking lessons through Skype/Zoom. It leverages WebRTC's data transmission to send media, MIDI state, and (eventually) send sheet music files and other musical data. I'm surprised with how well the MVP has worked and would love to hear any feedback or suggestions! https://bit.ly/3HWDbZw February 11, 2024 at 12:50AM

Show HN: Mukette, a Markdown Pager for Unix-Based Systems https://bit.ly/3SSa7bI

Show HN: Mukette, a Markdown Pager for Unix-Based Systems I really apologize if I am submitting this twice. I am new to these fora. I just discovered Show HN. The other thread did not have Show HN so it did not get any traction. This is a useful little tool so I guess people will like it. You're eithre like me, and do all your work in the terminal emulator. If they literally replace my displays with a VT100 I won't complain (but have to watch Youtube on my phone -_-). The other kind of use is someone who uses X (I know emulators are X too!) extensively, and only often needs to use the terminal This can be useful for both groups. Imagine you wanna read the README.md file of a repository. This happened to me what I wanted to read PackCC's REAMDE. And I had to do a pipline from Pandoc to Philadelphia! This nifty little tool will page the markdown file. I want to improve it in the future. I have made some leeway to adding more features to it. I want people to execute the code listings (in a safe environment) by navigating to them. It's all right these in the code, I just got tired of picking at this like an old wound and releassed it. It's been rand through ASAN and Valgrind. Some errors were fixed. If anything remains that I missed please tell me. I always initialize pointer ssto NULL so it should not complain much? Anyways thanks. https://bit.ly/42GZ7By February 10, 2024 at 01:15AM

Show HN: AutoBashCraft – a tool for automated Markdown screencast generation https://bit.ly/42BIXct

Show HN: AutoBashCraft – a tool for automated Markdown screencast generation Hello HN, Around New Year's I started a personal project called AutoBashCraft (ABC), aiming to simplify the creation of screencasts from bash code blocks in markdown files. I needed to create a lot of markdown files explaining workflows and code. I wanted to make the text-heavy files more interesting and thought of screencasts. There are many great tools to record terminal sessions. Then I found the asciinema-rec-script ( https://bit.ly/42AZLQX ) by Chris Ottrey that creates screencasts of bash scripts that look like a record of a terminal session including typing out the commands. I wanted the markdown files to be the same documents you would use as training or documentation material so I picked HTML comments to mark the codeblocks that are supposed to be executed. It would then execute the commands and save the screencast next to the markdown file in an asset folder so they can be easily embedded just under the codeblock. I went on from there and more commands were added such as 'create' to create a file with the contents of the codeblock, 'browse' to create a screenshot of a website, 'spawn' to spawn a background process, 'snapshot' to create a docker container of the current environment state, 'init' to initialize a new environment e.g. from a snapshot created in another file and 'config' to change configuration for the following commands. ABC is very much a work-in-progress and a proof of concept at this stage. I am also thinking of adding an editor to create a similar experience to jupyter notebooks, with automatic snapshots between each command in dev mode. There is so much work left to be done but for now I am back at my day job. The repository includes some examples that also work as (currently manually executed tests) including more complex workflows like automating MBTiles generation and usage or integrating private GPT, showcasing what I hope it can become. Running it is as simple as using NPX, with Docker and Node.js being the only requirements. Please only run your code or code you trust (esp. with docker activated). I later realized it also serves as a validator for the accuracy of instructional content. It happens so often that training material is missing important steps and it is very frustrating for beginners to follow a guide step by step and it just won't work. I'd be incredibly grateful if you could take a moment to check it out on GitHub, give it a star if you find it interesting, and maybe even contribute or fork it. I'm looking forward to your feedback and suggestions. Let's make something great together!

Show HN: Presentations for your webcam, not a projector https://bit.ly/3HVJpIY

Show HN: Presentations for your webcam, not a projector CueCam Presenter is my Mac app (actually a suite of Mac and iOS apps) to run better presentations on your webcam. Editing cards should feel natural to anybody used to Markdown. I came to create CueCam as an "embedded entrepreneur". I had some success with my camera app "Shoot Pro Webcam" back in 2020 and built on this by creating squares.tv. As I talked to more and more users, I discovered more opportunities to make their lives easier. I started with features in Shoot (camera options, pausing, drawing etc..).. Then I created Video Pencil (which connects to your computer and lets you draw on your webcam using your iPad). Then I created "Beat Sheet" which lets you run through "smart scripts", controlling Ecamm Live, OBS and mimoLive. CueCam Presenter is how I'm connecting all these elements. It gives you a virtual webcam, virtual mic, and seamlessly connects to Shoot and Video Pencil running on other devices. There are various ways you can use it as a teleprompter while maintaining eye contact. It's taken a lot to get it to this stage. The video pipeline has been through two major iterations and the audio pipeline even more. The UI has evolved and developed to cover the different ways it is understood by different people. Educational discounts are a must for me, as I want to help improve the quality of remote teaching around the world. For other professionals, I believe it transforms the way you interact with people on video calls. It's useful for recording software demos and running live streams. https://bit.ly/3w9McvN February 9, 2024 at 01:37PM
