That looks great! Exactly the kind of tooling required to allow me to feel more comfortable locking up human readable data into a blob. Being a single Rust binary is just the cherry on top. I might submit a few feature requests, but one tha

Li-ion has made tremendous advances in that time. This article[0] goes through some of the history. Some hot takes: - Price per cell has dropped ~97% since 1991 - 1991 energy density ~200 Wh/liter; 2005 energy density ~500 Wh/lite

Not that I think those metrics are all that relevant, but can someone explain to me how just-js ranks so highly? Very much defying my expectations in comparison with some of the top representatives of compiled languages.

I consider Lua 5.1/5.3/5.4 to be roughly their own language. Somewhat akin to a Python2 vs Python3. Completely manageable transition if you want, but best to stick to an implementation if you can. Within a platform, there are seem

It is because of polices like that which guarantees I will never use Google Cloud. Why risk getting my email pulled so I can host cat videos when AWS will not dangle the sword of Damocles above my head.

Exactly what I have been hoping to see as well. Analytical queries are a tad too slow for datasette, so I have had to materialize the more interesting roll-ups.

That is essentially how Allen Downey approaches statistical education: the analytical solutions came first because we lacked the computational power. Now that we have cheap computation, we should exploit that to develop better intuition. Hi
