   Extremely helpful- made life easier

   My remote-first start-up has eliminated more than 200+ hours of meetings and 1000s of mismanaged documents because our entire communication happens through Notion.

   👍 Pros:    Clean ui|File sharing|Modular

   👎 Cons:    Learning curve

   As someone who's always on the lookout for the perfect productivity app, I was excited to try out Notion. It promises to be an all-in-one tool for everything from note-taking to project management to personal wikis.

   From the moment you open Notion, you can tell that it's different from other productivity apps. The interface is sleek and modern, and it's easy to navigate. The app is divided into pages, which can be customized with different templates to fit your needs. You can create to-do lists, databases, wikis, calendars, and more.

   One of the things I love about Notion is the ability to create relationships between pages. For example, you can create a database of your favorite books and then link to a page with your book reviews. Or you can create a to-do list and link to a page with notes about the task. This feature makes it easy to keep all of your information in one place and to connect related items.

   🏁 Competitors: Microsoft Loop

   👍 Pros:    Highly customizable|All in one|Collaboration|Cross platform

   👎 Cons:    Steep learning curve

• Show HN: MCP server that compresses and serves MySQL schema data

  I built an MCP server that compresses and serves MySQL schema information. When you ask an AI to write MySQL queries, you must give it the project’s schema. In very large projects a single database can have hundreds of tables. If you feed the whole schema dump to the AI, the context becomes too long and the request often fails. To fix this, I thought an MCP server could return a neatly compressed schema so SQL... - Source: Hacker News / 1 day ago

• HTAP Databases Are Dead

  > You cannot say HTAP is dead when the alternative is so much complexity and so many moving parts. Most enterprises are burning huge amounts of resources literally just shuffling data around for zero business value. We built an HTAP platform as a layer over Cassandra for precisely that reason round about when Gartner invented the term. In finance and fintech, there are ample use cases where the need for... - Source: Hacker News / 4 days ago

  What an innacurate and ahistorical reading of the situation. > He didn't just criticise the government. He broke laws. When a state begins to engage in the systematic destruction of the lives of people whose criticism it deems unacceptable, pointing to "the law" does not wash their hands clean. It is, in fact, the standard move in such situations by authoritarian regimes. And here you are, parroting that line,... - Source: Hacker News / 6 days ago

• My blog post workflow

  I manage my non-work and work-adjacent tasks in Notion. Whenever I have an idea, regardless of how big or small or silly or achievable it is, I'll add it to Notion, and use labels to categorise it by type of output (e.g. blog, silly project, website update). Today I wanted to write a short post for my site. I clicked on the filtered blog post view, and selected this one (because I hoped it would be a quick one!). - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago
