Show HN: Cozo – new Graph DB with Datalog, embedded like SQLite
https://github.com/cozodb/cozo
Hi HN, I have been making this Cozo database since half a year ago, and now it is ready for public release.

My initial motivation is that I want a graph database. Lightweight and easy to use, like SQLite. Powerful and performant, like Postgres. I found none of the existing solutions good enough.

Deciding to roll my own, I need to choose a query language. I am familiar with Cypher but consider it not much of an improvement over CTE in SQL (Cypher is sometimes notationally more convenient, but not more expressive). I like Gremlin but would prefer something more declarative. Experimentations with Datomic and its clones convinced me that Datalog is the way to go.

Then I need a data model. I find the property graph model (Neo4j, etc.) over-constraining, and the triple store model (Datomic, etc.) suffering from inherent performance problems. They also lack the most important property of the relational model: being an algebra. Non-algebraic models are not very composable: you may store data as property graphs or triples, but when you do a query, you always get back relations. So I decided to have relational algebra as the data model.

The end result, I now present to you. Let me know what you think, good or bad, and I'll do my best to address them. This is the first time that I use Rust in a significant project, and I love the experience!
SourceMaps in Chrome allow debug of any source language compiled to JS
https://plus.google.com/u/1/110412141990454266397/posts/Nvr6Se6eAPh
A small demo of the SourceMaps support in Chrome Dev Tools which allows languages which are cross compiled to Javascript (Java, CoffeeScript, Objective-J, ClotureScript, even minified-JS) to be source level debugged in the browser.

Firefox will also be sporting support for SourceMaps.

I'm just curious, what thid he/she install (listed the php files in the github repo).
It would be nice to know what those php files do. Any help demistifying/decoding/ the php files is much appreciated.
Show HN: Sqwok – A social chat alternative to Twitter and Reddit
https://sqwok.im
I previously did a Show HN late Dec 2020:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25470672

That was a great experience and in the past year I continued to develop the site to bring it to a level of stability and maturity that I felt necessary for it to have a chance to succeed.

Sqwok is all about answering the question: Can we have better open conversations on the internet?

I wasn’t satisfied with the existing means of discussing topics such as culture, history, politics, and technology through threaded comments, and was simultaneously impressed with Slack bringing the IRC experience to the browser for a more general but enterprise focused audience. I wondered why not create an open Slack-like chat app for general discussion? Not gamers or enterprise but rather for people to have open, kitchen-table discussion on the matters of the day (or just for fun!).

I set out to build this because I wanted to use it myself and felt that existing chat apps weren't designed for open public discourse in the way Reddit/Twitter are but for threaded comments & mostly unidirectional communication.

This past year I’ve been very grateful to have a group of people continuously show up, offer support of the site and the idea, encouraging me to continue. Without those people I would have probably gave up!

But alas I want to see this through and I believe now is the moment to make it happen.

Since the last Show HN I’ve added:

- markdown support in chat messages, post text, and user bio in profile (soon coming to full text post).

- User profiles including bio, location, photo avatar, and chronological post listings.

- New “who’s online” list that shows the top 10 ppl online and helps steer people to active conversations.

- @mentions now work in posts, user bios, as well as chat messages.

- Email notifications to be alerted when someone @mentions you.

- Settings pages with ability to change password, delete account, and manage notification settings.

- Upgraded image handling to support higher res photos with upcoming features allowing enhanced viewing.

- Major refactor of the chat handling to stabilize it and fix many bugs with presence, locations, etc.

- Many improvements to the codebase, frontend, backend, UI, tests, etc

- Updated mobile web UI that drops you straight into the chat in a single view.

- Ability to toggle full width chat view on desktop.

- Live message counts displayed on the post list items that are updated in realtime.

- Updated location handling for realtime location display.

- Backend stability & aggregate analytics.

Through Sqwok and particularly through the last Show HN I've met & got to know numerous people living across the entire Earth from Laos to Europe to Africa, all through a silly piece of software that for some reason seemed like the thing to work on.

Truth be told there is much, much more I want to do with this. I believe now is the perfect time with the state of existing social networks and I’m hoping to find more people to support the site and help drive it to the next level.

Let me know if you have any questions,

Thanks!
Tell HN: I just open-sourced the e-mail client I spent 2 years of my life on
https://github.com/waseems/inbox2_desktop
If you are interested in the internals of such a piece of software, check out the code. or even better fork it and fix the bugs :-)

Some info:
- Pretty decent amount of press: http://www.inbox2.com/press
- About 100K downloads
- Built by 1 dev, 1 part-time interaction dev and 1 designer, all pretty much during the evenings and weekends
- Beautifully looking, but nevertheless a commercial failure because nobody will pay for email (now paying for data is a whole other story)
- Learned more while building this thing then in all my previous ~10 years of consulting combined
Show HN: The Brutalist Report – A rolling snapshot of the day’s headlines
https://brutalist.report
Hi HN. I was inspired by so many other folks also longing for a return to the old web that I put together a service to scratch my own itch: An extremely fast headline aggregator done in 1990s style HTML.

Sharing it with you all for those of you that also would enjoy this now esoteric style.
CEO complaints : employee not motivated after being fired
http://www.linkedin.com/today/post/article/20140423114614-44558-shades-of-grey
After firing a person for no good reason, CEO (Inge Geerdens) expects person to be oncall 24-7 after having told him he's fired. This, of course, despite there being no mention of any oncall in the contract she signed with this person.
Ask HN: Does anyone actually hire from 'developer bootcamps'?
Programs like General Assembly and Flatiron School are touted as effective ways to mint new developers very quickly, and a bunch of them boast hiring rates over 90% and average starting salaries of 100k or more.

And yet, looking around, there don't seem to be many jobs for entry-level Rails or iOS developers. If you look around on job boards, there simply is not much competition for entry-level talent. Most of the job growth appears to be in academic stuff like AI and data science which requires at the very least a BS and probably an MS. The run-of-the-mill web and mobile developer positions all demand at least some level of experience (generally 2-6 years). It just doesn't seem like there is enough demand for inexperienced talent to make this kind of program effective.

But if the stats that these bootcamps throw out are true, there are companies hiring people at $100k who, twelve weeks ago, had never opened a text editor in their lives.

If you've hired from one of these programs, what made you turn to them? Was it a success? And if it's really possible to build a rails developer from scratch in 10 weeks, why not just just do it in-house through an internship program and avoid paying commission to these schools? And why do most companies still ask for "at least a Bachelors in CS" for web and mobile development positions?
Show HN: Picnic.css, a lightweight Bootstrap alternative
http://picnicss.com/
I've tried to make it as light as possible. It's only tested with Firefox and Chrome, however I intend to test it in IE down to 9. What would you change? What would you add? Any feedback or pull request is greatly welcome! MIT Licensed
