This is true, but how many hosted postgres providers support it?

(OP here) I actually quite agree with you on all of these points. There are tools, and programming techniques, for dealing with everything in my rant. And I also agree that many times people are "holding it wrong" - be it data tha

Because most people don’t have an HPC background, aren’t familiar with parquet internals, don’t know how to make their language stream data instead of buffering it all in memory, have slow internet connections at home, are running out of di

I can help! Emailing you now :) Our company (scratchdata.com, open source) is literally built to solve the problem of schlepping large amounts of data between sources and destinations, so I have worked on this problem a lot personally and h

The navigation cues are a huge point. So many cli tools today run on cmdline flags, and it’s so frustrating to have to look them up each time. There must be a better idiom then —help or full curses applications.

Awesome that you’ve used wails! Is it basically svelte for the front end? Also looks like you’ve written your own block editor - how did you decide on that approach vs using an existing one?

This is pretty cool. Which extension are you using for this? (Or have you written a custom one?)

I like the update! I’d opened the app a few weeks ago and noticed a huge change. I’ve been using it for trip planning and in some ways like it better than Google since it incorporates service alerts. On the flip side, sometimes the routes a

That makes sense. What about things like DNS - do you want that bundled with your registrar, or do you want to manage that elsewhere?

I am baffled by the criticisms of this essay. I can't identify any statements here which are false. We're on hacker news, which is a site about programming and startups and capitalism. There theoretically couldn't be a better

Let me take a look - thank you! So if I'm understanding, you actually read data directly from (say) S3? It isn't copied from S3 and stored locally (ie, a bunch of local .arrow files.) (Apologies if I'm ignorant of the underly

Hi! Just reading the docs, this looks really slick. I had a few questions: - When you create tables, are they always connected to a source? How does that work for the cloud version (ie, source = filesystem? would we just use s3, it seems.)

I have! My product literally does this. I’m actually piping logs to motherduck with my software. Here’s a post on how to do this with fly.io which uses vector: https://scratchdata.com/blog/fly-logs-to-clickhouse/

It’s always a question of ROI. It’s hard for me to identify any form of technical advice that would be worth that much at my current company stage. I’ve already allocated n% of shares to investors and advisors. Before spending money I must

I agree to a point - regardless of what investors want, I might want to have runway to give me more time to iterate and experiment with ideas before running out of money. My point was also that this particular developer would consume a huge

I’m not sure you can. Both the Open() and Read() calls will block. You can select() on a pipe but not on open. I haven’t checked to see if you can select on a non blocking fd though. This is what the go wrappers do behind the scenes.

Did not expect this to hit the front page! A few notes: - 1 always represents debit and -1 always represents credit. Regardless of whether it is an asset or liability account. - Each account has what is called a "normal balance".

Agree with this! I just used SQLite as kind of a pseudocode for demonstrating the concept.

Legs might be better name. Line items? I think a lot of people are glossing over the fact that you not only need 1/-1 for DR/CR, but also the "normal" balance of the account to tabulate balances.

Two perspectives on this: - I believe this is a good application of columnar stores (ie, Clickhouse) rather than traditional Postgres, where handling 1M transactions is really fast. - You might still choose to use materialized views! This a
