New Show Hacker News story: Show HN: I Wrote a Book on PostgreSQL for Rails

Show HN: I Wrote a Book on PostgreSQL for Rails
9 by andatki | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hi HN. As a backend developer using PostgreSQL and Ruby on Rails for more than 10 years, around 3 years ago, I caught a spark to learn as much as I could about how to operate high performance, scalable, and reliable PostgreSQL databases. As I reflected on my own career path, I realized there are other developers that may want to learn more about this. I saw an opportunity to help show backend developers how they could put advanced, powerful, PostgreSQL features to use, to help build and scale their Rails apps. I've been fortunate to give presentations in both the PostgreSQL and Rails communities over the last couple of years. In that time I've continued to work with these technologies every day. With that said, I'd love for you to check out my new book: "High Performance PostgreSQL for Rails". Currently in ebook/PDF Beta form. While it's only an ebook for now, there's an expected physical version coming in early 2024. Today you can pick up the PDF/ebook version for 40% off using code: turkeysale2023 There are free PDF excerpts you can check out, to see if this book is for you, or something you'd recommend to others. The book is currently on the weekly Best Seller list at Pragmatic Programmers, where it's appeared several times in the last couple of months. The book focuses exclusively on open source software like PostgreSQL and Ruby on Rails, adding more than 40 Ruby gems and PostgreSQL extensions into the stack of tools. The Rails application used throughout the book is available on GitHub. Whether you work with Rails or another similar MVC full-stack framework or ORM like Laravel, Django, or Prisma, I hope there’s something useful in the book for you or your colleagues. I love writing, learning, and sharing, and advocating for PostgreSQL and Ruby on Rails! Thanks for your support!

New Show Hacker News story: Show HN: Natural language Twitter search using Codex

Show HN: Natural language Twitter search using Codex 3 by andyk | 0 comments on Hacker News. We built a structured search engine for Twitter called Bird SQL, available at https://ift.tt/7BU0hHb . Our search interface uses OpenAI Codex to translate natural language to SQL. Our backend then verifies the SQL, executes it, and displays the results on the web app. This makes large structured datasets like a scrape of Twitter easy for anyone to explore. As background, while working on text-to-SQL as a general problem, we came to believe one of its most powerful applications is as a search tool because: - SQL is hard to write by hand and prone to errors - It allows you to iterate quickly if you’re exploring a new dataset - A lot of contextual information that you’d normally have to internalize (e.g. your data’s schema) can be automatically generated and offloaded to the language model Using large language models (LLMs) like Codex to write the SQL for you means you don’t have to worry about

New Show Hacker News story: Show HN: Movis – A Video Editing Library in Python

Show HN: Movis – A Video Editing Library in Python 2 by rezoolab | 0 comments on Hacker News. Originally, this library was created due to my motivation to make videos in Python. Of course, I considered other Python libraries, but I decided to create a new library for video editing because I needed the following features and also for study purposes: - The existence of composition. Especially, the ability to perform advanced video editing by inserting compositions within compositions. - The ability to add animations based on keyframes. - Effects like chroma key and drop shadow. - A caching mechanism to render the same frame quickly. - Various blending modes. These features, despite being standard in proprietary video editing software, were not present in previous Python libraries. Currently, I am using this library to automatically generate videos from raw materials. I would be grateful for any comments, thoughts, or requests.
