Part of me looks forward to these experiences. A larger part of me already mourns the decline is purely human creativity that they suggest. Perhaps AI models will make the perfect game or music or write the perfect novel. I'm certain t

Because of the integration with Dagster, the calls are made when my Dagster flows run. I also send unreasonably large data payloads. Anything going into Django gets handed to a Celery batch processing job and just returns the job id (Dagste

Not a large site, but I used django-ninja in production for internal tooling at a very large game dev/publishing company. The APIs routinely handle 1000s of calls (via an integration with Dagster) for moving large amounts of data aroun

Your React component looks really nice. I agree with some of the other commenters that sorting and other basic features really are important. As a side note, I've built various web-based tools throughout my career and dabble with it as

It's likely they had a financial agreement with their publisher that stated that the game would launch prior to November 2023 or they would lose some % of the revenue. Publisher contracts often also mandate a certain Metacritic score m

Sounds quite a lot like "They're just PNGs on the Internet. Why would you pay for that when you can just copy it for free?" The article is interesting from a technical point of view but feels yucky from a fairness point of vi

Vizro looks nice, as does Evidence (mentioned below). I think it's good to remember that these types of apps often don't exist in a silo. It would be excellent to be able to integrate them into a larger platform (Django app, etc)

I'm wrapping up a read of Lonesome Dove, by Larry McMurtry. What an amazing "epic" book. It will certainly go down as one of the great pieces of American literature. I strongly recommend it.

Many "Enterprise" environments are still using Azure AD SSO, .NET, and other C# tools to drive internal tool development. I can't really see them jumping on this toolkit without grab-and-go support for those types of services

For our part, we self-host Confluence and gitlab, have tons of internal documentation and web pages, are are prohibited from using external tools unless they can be hosted internally in a sandboxed manner. There's no way on the planet

Part of what I fail to understand about our current situation is that it seems like there's enormous economic gains to be had in leading the world in the development, production, and distribution of alternative energy (solar, wind, etc

For me, in this world of ever-present tech, having a human (guitar) teacher is a wonderful breath of fresh air. Not only does he help me learn in way that the Internet never could, it's great to develop a connection with a person in an

We do the same with Gitlab -- self-hosted, using their gitlabrunner as the CI agent. It's great!

I'll piggyback here for a related question: I need to build some simple UI on top of a few Snowflake tables, to support a small group of users and their quality assurance tasks. Essentially, they verify important metadata and need to f

They don't like to mix different types of pollen together in the hive, either. If you inspect a frame with pollen in cells, it's usually this cool array of different yellow/orange/brown colors because of this.

I made an unholy mess with wax on pans yesterday, trying to melt down old comb from a deadout bee hive in a hot water bath. Word to the wise: go to the thrift store and pick up some old pots and spoons before attempting this.

I've been looking for something like this because I need to build a UI on top of some relatively simple Snowflake tables and the various Retool, etc. solutions are expensive and heavy weight. I look forward to seeing the React starter

I would love to play with the self-hosted version of this. However, being at a company that sends ~ 5 billion messages (across channels) to opted-in existing customers each year, your pricing is far more expensive than Salesforce, Braze, or

Looks interesting, but if I cannot self-host it on my company's internal cloud, I can't use it. I suspect there are similar requirements for a lot of potential enterprise clients. If self-hosting is part of the Enterprise pricing
