Show HN: I made a free open-source TypeScript PostgreSQL ORM
https://github.com/samhuk/ts-pg-orm
Hey HN, this is my first post! For the last few months I have been creating a free and open-source ORM for Typescript and PostgreSQL: ts-pg-orm.

It's fully type-enforced and has support for complex queries, with auto-complete at every opportunity.

It's still quite early and mostly has been a hobby so far to learn about the deeply complex side of Typescript and to provide easy persistence for my own projects (it probably won't be big and professional like Prisma for a while).

What is your startup? I've got extra money to possibly invest.
So here's the thing. There are so many startups out there that deserve funding, that don't get it. Many of these startups fail due to lack of funding. Yeah, critics can say startups that were meant to be will succeed with or without funding, but I disagree.

So, to be short, tell me what your startup is. I'm interested. Please have a working demo to show.

By the way, if you want to put a face to this I'm @romilpatel

British Government Aggressively Promotes Open Source
http://www.thevarguy.com/2013/03/18/british-government-aggressively-promotes-open-source/

Taking Stock of Linux Security and Anti-Virus Needs
http://www.thevarguy.com/2013/03/18/taking-stock-of-linux-security-and-antivirus-needs/
Open source fans like to brag that Linux needs no antivirus software. Yet as executives at security vendor ESET were keen to remind me in a recent interview, that truism holds true only to a certain extent. In an age where Linux commands greater market share, and where a growing number of threats are platform-agnostic, demand for security enhancements may well be on the rise. Are industry partners ready?

Show HN: Out-of-box web app for your AI algorithm
TL; DR: Put your python code and get an easy-to-use webapp to run it (beta version).

Dear all!

First time posting on HN. We are excited to show our project here.

When you do consult services, often, the customers need a GUI to evaluate your algorithms. We have developed an in-house solution for this, and now we want to make it public. We call it ScienceDesk Algorithm Delivery… until someone suggests a better name :)

In this platform, python programmers upload their algorithms and trained models, and generate a sharable URL to run the algorithm. The programmer decides if the source code should be shared or not.

As an example, we copied these famous open-source algorithms from GitHub and generated a URL link to run:

Deoldfiy – Colorize old black-white photos:
https://app.sciencedesk.net/#/links/21/df34a592b89241a38701cfba112007eb/

Covid Net – X-ray thorax image diagnosis:
https://app.sciencedesk.net/#/links/22/bd4d9868d4d3462d942119e5b7fb748f/

Image AI – Find and count objects in images (we uploaded the yolo-tiny.h5, feel free to add the yolo.h5 model for better results):
https://app.sciencedesk.net/#/links/20/f1b94abcb7924303958a7cd137e19bcc/

Cartoonifyme - Quick and dirty opencv algorithm to cartoonize profile pictures
https://app.sciencedesk.net/#/links/25/c9ad75e9491c42319c6bd73294aaf831/

The customers (or users) will open the URL link and find a simple GUI to run the algorithm: they can upload files, fill input forms, save data structures and download or visualize outputs.

HOW-TO

Video that explains how to put a hello-word code in ScienceDesk:
https://youtu.be/LJ_Wwd58utg

TECHNICAL DETAILS:

Under the hood, the ScienceDesk backend sends the code and inputs to our orchestrator, the MicroProcServer. The MicroProcServer runs the algorithms in a Kubernetes cluster. Each container that runs the algorithm is completely isolated to protect the user input/output data. The MicroProcServer also works as a broker, delivering file inputs to the containers and returning file outputs to the backend. After finishing the session, the user data are erased.

All thoughts and feedback are welcome in the comments below, especially if you are a machine learning engineer.
You are using a small server, you may need some patience to run something heavy.

Thank you so much,
Carlos
Openlag software: A model for close and open software
Openlag software is a model in which a company accept to release a product with a new open sotfware license (for example bsd) in x years time, x is the lag.

For example, imagine that Wolfram decides to use this kind of model for Mathematica with a lag of three years, that is in three years you have the three years old version in the open software. This kind of model would promote the adoption of this product from universities and other big corporations that don't want to use a black box, and at the same time the company has to innovate new features since the old version will be in the open and for free.

What do you think about this model?

The first axiom of any new model of sofware is that it should help create new jobs and profits for companies and innovate, do you think this model would allow this?
How hunting point systems work
There are many people asking me how the preference point system works. I tell them but it is too much to really understand in the 30 seconds people want to listen about it. In this article I try to explain it not by the numbers but by the philosophy.
The first thing you have to know is that if you do not apply you cannot draw.
The second thing to know is that some tags are hard to draw. Some are easy and there are many in between.
The third thing to know is that sometimes it is luck if you draw or not.
The last key thing to know is you can draw without luck. You have to earn it. You earn it by years of applying or applying where the tags are easy to get.
Some tags you do not need to draw. Usually these tags are not as good as the draw tags or are all on private land or have some other unique factor.
The stories are always told that go like this. I have been putting in for 15 years and I have never drawn. I know a guy who has drawn that same tag 3 times. Well that is the luck part.

Show HN: GRVNT – Frictionless Newsletters for Museums, Artists and Startups
http://www.grvnt.com
Hi hners, OP here.

(Note: If you are a do-gooder, you get 30% off)

Scratching our own itch.
Focusing on making art is already hard, and while we looked in our journey to grow, we needed to spend precious time to focus on creating content, having our newsletter designed, delivery, spam check filters. We struggled to find someone focused on the Arts. So, GRVNT was born, to help connect you to people, offer our experience and keep clients and prospects happy, and avoid something that at times can be a complicated, frustrating task.

We have +16 years of experience working in advertising agencies, and a constant situation we've seen is this one: The client hires the agency, and when the need arises for a specific service such as Newsletter delivery or a Content generation strategy, the agency does everything just to avoid losing the client, more often than not with less than optimal results.

Why? It could be that the agency doesn't offer the service, or doesn't have the right people, or has zero experience in that area. The campaign has no tracking, no analytics, no way to measure the results.

Email marketing is proven to keep customers coming back. We deliver solutions for Museums, Art Galleries, Artists and Startups, so you can plan your next marketing strategy.

Happy to answer any questions or comments!

Ask HN: Why are there so few confirmed COVID-19 cases in San Francisco?
Is it lack of testing or something else?

Most days the number of confirmed cases goes up by single or low double-digit numbers. One day it spiked by 38%, but that’s an outlier (so far).

We had confirmed cases early on but haven’t seen the same steady growth as Santa Clara, Seattle, or New York.
Fair equity compensation for team?
I have a colleague who would like to do some work for my startup, equaling maybe 5-10 hours per week.

He is an extremely talented Rails developer and front-end designer. We bond completely on the vision and I have worked with him for years at work (day job). Advice would be appreciated.

Ask HN: tips for hacking the admission system for top graduate schools?
I figure a lot of the people on HN would have experience with this. How does one increase their chances significantly of getting into the top graduate schools? I'm talking about places like MIT, Stanford, Berkeley, Caltech, CMU, etc. The focus here is on top engineering/computer science schools.

Is it a spotless GPA? Killer reference letters (and from whom)? Extra curriculars? Independent research? Maybe business experience? Some linear combination of it all? What are the coefficients?

Feel free to share your experiences and give some advice on hacking the admissions system.

https://www.stockhawk.io
Frustrated with the process of keeping up with my portfolio. Stock prices don't tell you what is going on and information overload awaits.
