UI question for the oldest of the old-timers here:

Why is the New Window function found in the File menu, and not in the Window menu? does this go back to PARC days?

EMACS keybindings are are pretty consistent about buffers, windows, files, and frames, but the menus... eh.

Hey HN,

I built pg-mcp, a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for PostgreSQL that provides structured schema inspection and query execution for LLMs and agents. It's multi-tenant and runs over HTTP/SSE (not stdio)

Features - Supports multiple database connections from multiple agents

- Schema Introspection: Returns table structures, types, indexes and constraints; enriched with descriptions from pg_catalog. (for well documented databases)

- Read-Only Queries: Controlled execution of queries via MCP.

- EXPLAIN Tool: Helps smart agents optimize queries before execution.

- Extension Plugins: YAML-based plugin system for Postgres extensions (supports pgvector and postgis out of the box).

- Server Mode: Spin up the container and it's ready to accept connections at http://localhost:8000/sse

I do root cause analysis for a complex piece of software. For a couple of years I've been doing fine at my job, but last week I decided to read a rather dense book on the software and related topics, and I'm doing flash cards. I feel that my ability to diagnose and troubleshoot issues is limited by having to look things up all the time.

Does anyone else study for their job? If so, has it had an impact? I limit myself to 30-60 minutes a day, because I want to maintain some work-life balance.

I’m constantly switching tabs while trading—charts, order books, news, Twitter. It’s inefficient. Is there a tool that lets you drag-and-drop these into one unified dashboard?
