All of Europe has written in Latin 1 for a decade. There are billion of files encoded in Latin 1 everywhere.

Not sure whether that was sarcastic, but ISO-8859-1 (Latin 1) encodes most european languages, not just latin. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO/IEC_8859-1

I don't think Boston Dynamics robots can do any of this on their own. The key here is that these skills are learned in a general manner. Nothing like the pre-programmed hard-coded choreography demonstrated by Boston Dynamics (which is

That is great news. I hope Mozilla's PR team will use this as a chance to bust the old myth that firefox is slow. We need more firefox users if we don't want to end up in a world where the web is Google's thing.

Hey, I'm the author of the post. I did not post it to hacker news, but to the r/rust subreddit, where I think people had more context, and more reasons to be interested in it. Someone else posted the link to hacker news. The title

Yes, that's it. English is not my mother tongue, so I apologize if it wasn't taken that way.

> Why do people keep comparing refine with nocode tools like windmill or tooljet? Because they market it like that. Their tagline is "Open-source Retool for Enterprise", and retool is a nocode (or low-code) tool.

There is a lot of activity in this space, and I think it's a good thing. Other very similar but less code-heavy solutions include appsmith, tooljet, or budibase. In the same spirit, but SQL-only instead of based on javascript, I am cur

I am very curious to see how it develops. I'm currently working on multiple SQLPage [1] websites, and getting a better IDE experience would be awesome. Writing only SQL is refreshing compared to all the boilerplate required in traditio

I don't think it connects to a database, so it cannot suggest field names yet. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm not sure what you refer to exactly, but none of the tech presented as solutions in the article really lock you into their model when things "evolve beyond". Quite the contrary, actually. Migrating from, let's say, Dj

Oh, I hadn't noticed your username! On the topic of maintenance: could you have a look at this pull request I opened three years ago on a repo of yours : https://github.com/simonw/datasette/pull/1159 ?

This is very true. And this is what the blog post was advocating too ! It was not about using some smart custom ORM, but about writing dead simple raw SQL queries in SQLPage instead of hundreds of lines of python and typescript.

It's true that if all the code works well, is tested and all the features are supposed to stay the way they were when the code was written, then, any developer can maintain any amount of code, there is just nothing to do. The problem a

I think your parent comment was making a good point. The "just write the code" and "don't try to be smart" mentality is good only up to a certain point. Too much "just write the code" ends up creating huge

I loved the idea of code generation when I first encountered it, but I've since come to hate it. A large code base that was auto-generated and then subtly modified in some places is hard to refactor, and if you need to change the signa

Hey, I'm Ophir, the co-author of the post, and main contributor to the SQLPage one-off half-documented pseudo-framework :) I'm not sure if you had a look at what SQLPage really does. It is not a framework in the same sense as Djan

Hey Ophir here, I'm the co-author of the post. What you say is on-point, and we should have mentioned it in the post. The way I see it is: at the beginning, everything is repeated three times on the three layers. Then, as time advances

That is a good point. And that's why developing a new feature in, say, facebook, will always take a lot of efforts. But when you are a team of 3 with a startup to launch, for instance, you don't really care about permissions to

It's not just writing the code. Writing the code is easy. It's maintaining it. And then debugging it. There is a limit to how many lines of code a single person can maintain.

Not the OP either, but I also had terrible link times in SQLPage before I switched to mold. SQLPage is a web server that bundles a lot of html component templates directly in the server binary. This is very practical for users, but was pain

I am currently building a SQL-only web framework [1], and I was contacted by the prql folks to include the language by default in sqlpage. I have to say, I have mixed feelings about it: on one hand, it indeed feels more natural to query dat

Where do you work? That must be a great place! Most devs I know, even talented ones, have never done a recursive query, and a lot of them don't even know it's possible.
