Show HN: Micropolis/SimCity Clone in Emacs Lisp

Show HN: Micropolis/SimCity Clone in Emacs Lisp

This is a little game implemented over a week of tinkering and targeting Emacs.

The point is both to have fun with this kind of simulations, and also explore the "functional core / imperative shell" approach to architecture. I also developed a tile and tile effect definition DSL, which makes this even easier to extend. From this point of view it's a success: easy testing, easy extension,

Gameplay-wise the simulation is too simplistic, and needs input from people interested in this kind of toys. The original Micropolis/SimSity is the last time I built a virtual city.

Show HN: VillageSQL = MySQL and Extensions

Show HN: VillageSQL = MySQL and Extensions

INSTALL EXTENSION vsql-complex; CREATE TABLE t (val COMPLEX);

Look, MySQL is awesome [flamewar incoming?]. But the ecosystem has stagnated. Why?

No permissionless innovation. Postgres has flourished because people can change the core of the database (look at pgvector and pg_textsearch), without having to get their changes accepted upstream.

(This, btw, is what powered GitHub's early success: you can fork a repo and make changes without needing the owners' approval)

VillageSQL is a tracking fork of MySQL (open source, ofc) that adds an extension framework: * Drop-in replacement

* Add custom data types and functions (with indexes coming soon)

* we wrote example extensions (vsql-ai, -uuid, crypto, etc.)

* you have a better idea for an extension

* my CEO submitted a Show HN post but linked to the announcement blog; help me show him hackers want code first

* I'm particularly proud of the friendly C++ API to add custom functions (in func_builder.h)

That link again is https://github.com/villagesql/villagesql-server

(Oh, and I get to work with the former TL of Google's BigTable and Colossus, so we care about doing databases Right)
