Re:Ask HN: Starting a company in valley as Canadian citizen on Thursday January 26, 2023 @06:45PM (#34540500)
Starting a company while still continuing on TN Visa? AFAIK I don't think you can start a company on TN Visa or be self-employed.ie., start a company and work in it. You may have to try E2 or other visa category.
Re:Ask HN: How can I host my own blog for free in 2023? on Monday January 09, 2023 @02:41PM (#34314950)
I tried Markdown->Hugo->Cloudflare pages route. If you need all bells and whistles of Wordpress you can generate static pages off a local wordpress installation[0] using a WP plugin[1] and host in Cloudflare pages

Re:Ask HN: How do you implement audit trail for a product? on Friday February 18, 2022 @11:12PM (#30394369)
A basic audit-trail can be implemented by using Postresql triggers [1]. It logs client IP, statement, before & after changes and can be enabled on selected tables. [1] https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Audit_trigger_91plus
Re:Pg_GraphQL: A GraphQL Extension for PostgreSQL on Friday December 03, 2021 @10:58AM (#29431411)
I've explored multiple Graphql solutions for PostgreSQL in the past and couldn't convince of the resolvers based approach and always felt that an extension would be the right solution. The closest I've come across and used so far is Graphjin https://github.com/dosco/graphjin . Thanks Supabase for the fantastic extension!
Re:GPT-3 is no longer the only game in town on Sunday November 07, 2021 @02:30PM (#29142639)
Good to know. We're trying to attempt something similar[1] but for Tamil. I'm also surprised how well the OSS language model & library AI4Bharat [2] performs for NLP tasks against SoTA systems. Is there a way to contact you? [1] https://vpt.ai/posts/about-us/ [2] https://ai4bharat.org/projects/
Re:Sri Lanka’s ancient, almost lost martial art on Wednesday July 07, 2021 @11:26PM (#27768183)
Not OP, but Sinhala is classified as Indo-Aryan having developed when Buddhism spread to Srilanka and separate from Dravidian family of languages which is mostly limited to Southern part of India
Re:Sri Lanka’s ancient, almost lost martial art on Wednesday July 07, 2021 @09:11PM (#27767512)
I could see close parallels with ancient martial art Kalaripayattu [1] practiced in southern Indian state of Kerala. It's very popular and still being practiced there [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalaripayattu
Re:Hasura GraphQL Engine and SQL Server on Friday June 18, 2021 @10:41AM (#27550876)
I guess the name is play of words on Haskell (it's written on) + Sanskrit Asura (meaning demon)
Re:Feeling like a pariah, even when you’re not on Monday May 17, 2021 @01:12PM (#27185742)
Yes, but in english it's simply used to mean as outcast instead of all the social connotations that it carries from it's originating language Tamil.
Kerala is in the forefront of most of the social indicators among Indian states [1] and in general has better disaster management. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerala_model
Re:Ask HN: What is your Golang web-dev tech stack? on Tuesday December 05, 2017 @05:59PM (#15856911)
I've been using a starter kit[1] to build our API.For database access using Modl[2] similar to gorp but uses sqlx internally. Much of the data access code is generated as I'm of opinion reflection based ORM doesn't lend itself well in Go.

Re:Virginia has decertified its most hackable voting machines on Saturday September 09, 2017 @12:58AM (#15205625)
Voting on the machines per se is not the problem, rather the current system is. In India electronic voting machines are exclusively used for all state and national elections and were kept deliberately non-networked by design.IIRC the technology is being 'exported' to other countries as well. http://www.firstpost.com/india/evm-tampering-why-india-stand...
Re:Libraries for building Metadata Frameworks on Thursday February 02, 2017 @02:34AM (#13548813)
check https://erpnext.com It's built on top of a metadata application framework github.com/frappe/erpnext
I'd recommend Flask-Restful https://github.com/twilio/flask-restful I've recently used in an API project involving Elasticsearch.
