Hey! This is a great callout, we'll think about how to make it better!

Correct! And if you're Simon Willison, this is a super easy thing to Just™ implement manually. The point of Flat Data is to push the edges of that bubble outwards. Add tooling and examples. Add a viewer. Make the "happy path"

This is a really powerful use-case! If you saw Alex Gaynor's election tracker[1] during the US 2020 elections, it's exactly how it worked. Actions scraped the NYT election results.json, and a static site on GH pages rendered the d

Yup, there's Dolt, and DVC, and probably a dozen other projects I'm forgetting or haven't heard of. Dat! There's more than one way to data. We looked at a bunch of them, and the key thing we keep coming back to is git se

The OCTO DevEx team reaaaaaallly loves VS Code — beyond the editor, it's just a great surface for experimental developer tooling! GitHub Codespaces aren't generally available yet, but being able to target both "native" V

It doesn't scale! This isn't a replacement for databases. Our take on this is about "working sets" of data — if you have billions of rows, that's a lot bigger than a working set! At some point, you have to query, fi

Hi HN! Our team has loved building this, as well as all of the storytelling and examples. We'd love your feedback!

Still sad to find that none of the "infinite canvas" things correctly handles the various touch events. Some handle two-finger pinch zooming well. I've yet to see any which properly handle two-finger panning (H and V). Breaks

Ignore the fact that this is a book about .NET, it's an excellent source of wisdom about the design of APIs: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0321545613/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_wn...

Naive question from someone who doesn't know the ecosystem well: It seems to me like Terraform is good at describing desired deployment shapes and detecting drift between actual state and desired state. Can someone clue me into why Ter

One of the most enjoyable pieces of writing I've read in a while. An important reminder that sharp, articulate intellects are everywhere.

Though it's somewhat dated and C# oriented, the really, really fantastic Framework Design Guidelines by Brad Abrams and Krzysztof Cwalina is a thoughtful treatise on designing usable APIs. A lot of the things I read in there still reso

I read both your post and your website copy. The short version is: you're failing to explain yourself concisely and effectively. I want you to succeed — here's some critique. I think I'm in your expected early-adopter demogra

I took Ken Perlin's undergraduate graphics course in 2002 or 2003. Back then, Java was the only way to execute code in a browser that did something useful in a reasonable amount of time. More than anything, it enabled a pretty unique p

Hey all. I'm one of the designer/engineers responsible for the new metrics tab. I wasn't part of the selection process regarding Ember, which is the framework powering the entirety of dashboard-next. My personal feelings towa

Hi HN. I'm the person who reported this bug to Pycon. I've volunteered and helped organize several PyCons and Djangocons. It's safe to say that I'm fully invested in the community and Give A Shit™. In the interest of hea
