There’s no future to Vim without Bram. A merge of the two fork’s isn’t what Bram has wanted, but it’s the best way to keep Vim alive

In python I use sqlalchemy core to build the SQL for me, but I manage the transactions myself. Sqlalchemy query builder offers a similar role to what you described, as in I can add another select or where field after I have already added a

I think there is a difference between a community socializing among themselves, and socialing with immigrant/tourists/foreigners. Qatar world cup is one example I think of where the barrier to socializing with *the others* was re

I don’t use ORM, but depending on the complexity of the SQL statement I might build it using SQL alchemy core. I hate to deal with all these rules about the right way of escaping SQL Colum names with “, ‘ and [. I find it sqlalchemy core

I used duckdb successfully in prod to replace SQL Server. We have a micro batch that generates around 5 billion rows of very wide tables every 3 minutes. These data used to go into SQL server, only to be replaced by the new batch of 5 bil
