My Cross-Platform MySQL Parser
I have just completed the MySQL parser that will be soon used in MIST. The story behind is that TiDB MySQL parser, which is by far the most MySQL compatible parser, was depending on some types called "parser_driver". Parser Driver contains types from TiDB, but unfortunately, TiDB is not going to moving MySQL types, which is heavy entangled with TiDB, out as a independent Go package. GitHub issue:16381 To me, TiDB itself is mixing all its open-sourced modules as a very opinionated monolith. I was porting MIST to WASM binary and TiDB syscalls will be stupidly included, compiled, and making…

In the maker’s words, at launch
I have just completed the MySQL parser that will be soon used in MIST. The story behind is that TiDB MySQL parser, which is by far the most MySQL compatible parser, was depending on some types called "parser_driver". Parser Driver contains types from TiDB, but unfortunately, TiDB is not going to moving MySQL types, which is heavy entangled with TiDB, out as a independent Go package. GitHub issue:16381 To me, TiDB itself is mixing all its open-sourced modules as a very opinionated monolith. I was porting MIST to WASM binary and TiDB syscalls will be stupidly included, compiled, and making static linking failed when targeting WASM. Thus I spent a few days to extract the existing parser package and parser driver and re-export the entangled TiDB types into an ACTUALLY WORKING MySQL parser go package, which is truly cross-platform and ready to port to WASM.

Hey HN! Pilots everywhere are required to keep a logbook of all their flying hours, aircraft, airports, and so on. Since I track everything digitally (some people still just use paper logbooks!), I put together some data visualizations and a few 3D globes to show my flying history. This globe is probably my favourite so far: https://jameshard.ing/pilot/globes/all If you’ve got ideas for other graphs or ways to show this kind of data, I’d love to hear them!

I was the main contributor to workout.lol, an open-source fitness app to easily build a workout routine. The project had traction (1.4k GitHub stars, 95 forks, ~20K visits/month), but was eventually sold due to video licensing hurdles. The new owner stopped maintaining it, and the repo went abandoned. Over the next 9 months, I sent 15 emails to try to save it : no replies. Feature requests & issues were ignored. The community was left with a "broken" tool let's say. I couldn't just let it die So I built the new version from scratch with the same open-source spirit, but a better…
