Virtual 6NF

news.ycombinator.com Alexey Makhotkin 2025-12-04 21:18:58

One of the goals of this substack is to research ways of removing historical cruft from the way relational model is taught. One thing that puzzles me particularly is why Sixth Normal Form (6NF) is historically treated so... reverently? Lots of texts on the internet consider 6NF to be “exotic”, “academic”, “never used in practice”, etc., etc. As software developers, we can solve any problem by adding one level of abstraction, and database modeling is not an exception.

Why building a self-hosted SaaS is harder

In the 90s, we flew in technicians to install Oracle databases in server basements. Today, Supabase spins up a backend, in seconds, for free. Over the past 30 years, software has gotten faster, cheaper and easier in almost every way. Some engineers might miss 24-month cycles of tranquil coding, but nobody wants to do code reviews over email or contort software to run on a 10 year-old server rack your eighth-biggest customer is still using.

Lurk – A Turing-complete programming language for ZK-SNARKs

A reference implementation focused on describing and developing the core language can be found in the lurk-lisp repo. Lurk's distinguishing feature relative to most programming languages is that the correct execution of Lurk programs can be directly proved using SNARKs. The resulting proofs are succinct: they are relatively small, can be verified quickly, and they reveal only the information expli

Her plan tapped into a much-loved trope that Star Wars series Andor also made excellent use of: sci-fi spycraft. “Where Tyrants Spend Eternity” is also tense throughout and ends up involving a horrific, large-scale tragedy (another Andor similarity), building to a final scene that t
