Is it this thing? So it’s a non existent service that has 47m in funding? Or am I missing something.
- e-clinton 4y agoSeems like you’ve ducking nailed it. Why was this posted here?
- ren_engineer 4y ago>or am I missing something the existence of DuckDB? https://github.com/duckdb/duckdb https://github.com/duckdb/duckdb you've got an already popular open source tool being extended and built by the guy who helped make BigQuery and people from Snowflake. VCs are going to be willing to throw money at that
- Rebelgecko 4y agoIt's super confusing because the graph of github stars vs day shows days that haven't happened yet this month. A lot of the information in the article is presented in a way that makes it hard to see the context.
- giovannibonetti 4y agoThat chart shows github stars over the years, from 2019 to the 2022.
- m463 4y agodidn't know about duckdb. sort of off-topic, I read the "why duckdb" page and found this really nice in this day and age: "DuckDB has NO external dependencies, neither for compilation nor during run-time.
- nwienert 4y agoHow does that square with the readme? > For development, DuckDB requires CMake, Python3 and a C++11 compliant compiler. I guess they mean libraries? But specifying for compilation implies to me they wrote their own compiler or something strange.
- fbdab103 4y agoIt's not clear to me what it is. SAAS DuckDB? They want to fork DuckDB into a commercial offering? Stop DuckDB entirely?
- XCSme 4y agoI still have no idea how all this big sum VC software funding works. Like, what can you even spend $47m on?
