Show HN: Cadseer. a parametric solid modeling CAD desktop application https://ift.tt/Szyg2JC

Show HN: Cadseer. a parametric solid modeling CAD desktop application Cadseer is in the same genre as: solidworks, inventor, freecad etc... Cadseer is alpha software, so lots of missing features, bugs, crashes, file incompatibilities etc... About me: I spent 15 years designing stamping dies on a high end cad system. During that time, I also developed and marketed extensions/plugins toward that cad system. Through that experience, I came disillusioned with 'vendor lock-in' and proprietary software in general. I basically retired, took the vow of poverty and moved all my computing to open source. I have since, and continue to, try and improve the open source cad environment. https://ift.tt/Qd16ZCE April 1, 2023 at 12:05AM

Show HN: TypeScript query builder with full type inference https://ift.tt/xZp9HOm

Show HN: TypeScript query builder with full type inference Hey HN! Colin here - a TypeScripter, open sourcer, and engineer at EdgeDB. As the creator of Zod and tRPC, I'm interested in designing tools/APIs that use type inference and generics to make life easier for devs. This query builder represents another step in that direction. We set out to build an EdgeQL query builder that can express queries of arbitrary complexity (EdgeQL has feature parity with SQL, roughly) and infer the static type of the query result. We introspect the database and generate a schema-aware client that represent any query, including ones that use built-in functions, operators, string/array/tuple indexing, aggregations, conditionals, type casting, subqueries, computed properties, etc—things most ORMs can’t represent. This post mostly discusses the API design, which I think will be interesting regardless of familiarity with EdgeQL. I’d love to see some of these ideas bleed into future generations of TypeSc...
