Show HN: Joyride: script VSCode like Emacs but using Clojure
Together with PEZ (Peter Strömberg) I made a VSCode extension that allows you to script VSCode using Clojure (interpreted CLJS).<p>The repo:

Show HN: Radiopaper – Troll-resistant public conversations
Hi HN! We're a bootstrapped team of 4 and have been building Radiopaper for around 16 months alongside other full-time, part-time, and consulting jobs.<p>I wanted to highlight a couple of the unique characteristics of Radiopaper that may not be immediately apparent when browsing <a href="https://radiopaper.com/explore" rel="nofollow">https://radiopaper.com/explore</a><p>* It's possible to interact with Radiopaper entirely by email, and never log-in interactively. The notification emails contain context that explains that if you reply to the email, your message will be published on <a href="https://radiopaper.com" rel="nofollow">https://radiopaper.com</a><p>* The key mechanism that makes Radiopaper different from other social networks, and more resistant to trolling and abuse, is that messages are not published until the counterparty replies or accepts your comment. You can read more about this in our manifesto at <a href="https://radiopaper.com/about" rel="nofollow">https://radiopaper.com/about</a><p>The technical stack is a Vue/TypeScript app talking to an API backend written in Go, running on Cloud Run, and using Firestore for persistence, Firebase Auth for authentication.<p>Email processing is handled through the Gmail API hooked up to a Cloud Pubsub notification which triggers another Cloud Run service. Outbound emails go through SendGrid.<p>The whole stack "scales-to-zero", and on days that we have a few hundred active users, we're still under the free limits of Firebase Hosting, Cloud Run & Firestore, so this has allowed us to operate for a long time without funding or revenue. Our overall burn rate is around $40/month, mostly from the smattering of other SaaS offerings we use: Sentry, Mixpanel, Github & SendGrid.<p>Dave & I discuss our tech stack in a little more detail in this conversation:
<a href="https://radiopaper.com/conversation/4PsvfxLX2Q5NHLBs8nuN" rel="nofollow">https://radiopaper.com/conversation/4PsvfxLX2Q5NHLBs8nuN</a><p>The team (myself, daave, davidschaengold, youngnh) will be around to answer any questions!

Show HN: Baseten – Build ML-powered applications
Hi HN,<p>Three months ago, I took a job at Baseten to help craft and document an application builder that lets data scientists build full-stack, production-ready applications around their ML models without worrying about containers, Flask, or React. From my first day, everyone was focused on what would happen today: opening up our public beta. I’m super excited to see what you build with Baseten.<p>If you want to take Baseten for a full-speed test drive, follow along with this tutorial, where you can build and deploy an application in 20 minutes: <a href="https://docs.baseten.co/getting-started" rel="nofollow">https://docs.baseten.co/getting-started</a><p>While Baseten is built for data scientists and machine learning engineers, something I’m particularly excited about that doesn’t come up often when we talk about Baseten is how it also makes building with ML available to people like me with a general software engineering background but no real experience with ML. With our library of pre-trained models, you can build and deploy an application around models for tasks like sentiment analysis, image classification, and speech transcription. By building applications around pre-trained models, I’ve gained a deeper understanding of the use cases, capabilities, and limitations of machine learning.<p>If you want to play around with some models and applications without signing up for an account yet, check out our gallery (<a href="https://baseten.co/gallery" rel="nofollow">https://baseten.co/gallery</a>) and try the demo apps.<p>P.S. We are also hiring; I found Baseten from HN.
Show HN: Xlibe – A serverless Xlib (X11) compatibility layer for Haiku
Hello HN,<p>While there are some projects that implement partial versions of Xlib APIs on non-X11 platforms for compatibility (most notably, Tk), I don't know of any others sophisticated enough to run Cairo and GTK applications (albeit with a few hacks). So I figured this might be technically interesting.<p>As of now it just implements the base Xlib APIs, it doesn't implement XRender, GLX, XInput2, etc. (though it's more than possible, I just didn't see a need yet.) Cross-program interaction is also very limited, and there are plenty of X11 features that likely can't be implemented; but this works sufficiently well that GTK3 is now in Haiku's default package repositories, with GIMP and Inkscape atop it to boot, using this.<p>And for the fun of it, I did try to compile Xnest (the X.org server variant running on top of Xlib) on top of this; it crashed on startup in the keyboard handlers. However, that could potentially be because I didn't have the necessary data files and not because of anything missing in Xlibe; I didn't investigate too far (or it could be an actual incompatibility; Xlibe's keyboard subsystem is rather primitive and is most of the reason I had to patch GTK for full functionality.)<p>(A few more screenshots, including GTK and WINE running atop Xlibe: <a href="https://www.haiku-os.org/blog/waddlesplash/2022-01-10_haiku_contract_report_december_2021/" rel="nofollow">https://www.haiku-os.org/blog/waddlesplash/2022-01-10_haiku_...</a>)

Show HN: gq – like jq or zq, but you use Go
Hi HN. I've gotten pretty tired of needing to learn a custom programming language for a tool I use once a week or less. So I figured, it might be easier to pick up if `jq` used a programming language I already know. Voila, gq.
