Polars has basic SQL support already, it’s just not that well documented. You’ll need to compile Polars with the ‘sql’ feature flag. Not sure what the process looks like through the Python API. Maybe @ritchie46 can chime in?

I’m sporting the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 with AMD Ryzen 7 4800U. Amazing value for money (< €900) and everything worked out of the box immediately when I bought it new 3 years ago using the latest Linux kernel (via Arch). Had a MacBook Pro be

That’s what I said. Don’t be surprised when the return over the next 10 (to 100) years isn’t anywhere near its historical return rates though.

Yeah, certain is definitely a poor choice of words. “I doubt economic growth over the next 100 years will be as high as it was over the past 100.” is what I should have said.

It really depends on how the climate crisis will unfold. We’re on par for well over 2 degrees of warming with no real solution in sight, so it remains to be seen how everything will turn out.

Honestly, it’s hard right now. Investing in a low-cost and well diversified index fund used to be the way to go and is probably still your best option (at least for the majority of your savings). I’d read the little books by John Bogle (Van

Not that I know of, no. Over the years I've moved it once from DigitalOcean to a local Dutch VPS provider so if I was just lucky getting a clean IP, I was lucky at least twice. :)

Yes. Using Mailinabox.email on a €3 VPS, since 2016. Have had zero issues with it. I mostly use aerc but recent versions of Roundcube are pretty slick as well.

Seconded. Neovim with their built-in LSP is so good! Was a happy VSCode user for years but not very comfortable with how they’re starting to push more and more proprietary pieces, so started looking for alternatives. Neovim fits the bill pe

Scratched my own itch. Was freelancing for clients back then, just putting together simple WordPress websites. A lot of them needed a newsletter sign-up form and wanted something that kept them on their own sites. So I built a generic &quot

That looks neat! Any (personal or third-hand) experience with it? I received some quotes from business brokers over the last few years but at 12.5% fee and a 3.8x multiplier it was almost never worth it for me. Microacquire is considerably

Are you GroCycle by any chance? Huge fan of our YT channel here. Mushrooms are amazing.

It’s definitely not my passion but in 2013 I built a WordPress plugin around the API of a popular newsletter service and it’s been paying my bills ever since. Still going strong at €36K per month excluding VAT. There was (and still is) a hu

This is part of why I quit my privacy focused analytics start-up years ago. I won’t name it directly, but it was one of the first and is still going strong (although not really open-source anymore). People kept asking for cookieless trackin

Hey, author here. You're absolutely right, good observation! When writing this post I had actually already moved on towards a compilation step (into bytecode + VM stack machine) where variables are obviously referenced by index. After

Hey everyone. I wanted to get more experience writing Rust so I decided to build an interpreter in Rust and attempt to make it just as fast as another one I made in C. In this post I describe my journey to make it run fast. Most of it will

A pop up builder for WordPress. Received a lot of requests for this from my existing SaaS customers then started out as a corner-only slide-in modal. Eventually I caved and added a centered modal… It’s currently in active use on at least 30

You’re not alone. I’ve been doing better in the last few years but when I was just starting out as a web developer set on building a successful SAAS, a lot of them were marketing/advertising related. One of them is a pop-up builder… So

That’s Laravel in a nutshell. I tried it for a year, then got fed up with all the useless name changes or directory layout changes after every “minor” (yeah, no SemVer) and moved to Symfony with their LTS promise. Still happy with that deci

Hah - I just started on the Dune series myself too! Am only a hundred pages in or so, but seeing the progress on my e-reader at only 2% makes me quite stoked for what's to come. Sadly I saw the movie (for pt. 1) first, but even so the
