   Bitbar/xbar is great because it isn’t limited to just calling an API. You can run a .py or .sh and print the results, enabling more complex workflows and displays. I’ve build some pretty niche tools using it, mostly related to local we

   Any recommendations for an actual desk+chair combo? Ie a chair with a desk attachement? I need something comfortable but ultra mobile. Something like below but ergonomic, arm rests and space for keyboard, monitor, mouse. Probably a very lon

   Very cool, I've been following your products for a while, hoping to see them in the UK soon!

   Snowflake + dbt is great for this. Snowflake have a swap database function so instead of doing this at a table level you can create an entirely new database and do a blue/green style deployment. Not sure how this works with pgsql, but

   Hydrofoiling seems to be having something of a grassroots style renaissance, with incredible interest across all of boating, sailing, windsurfing, kitesurfing, surfing and pretty much any other board/boat water sport. I find this pecul

   My only 2c: Your product from first glance looks like a Spyder python IDE. That immediately turns me away from using it as I'd rather use a Jupyter Notebook, or a Streamlit app, or even better than both I've been testing the hex.t

   Also working in and around banking, this is a huge issue. Terrifying. Fat finger mistakes are rampant. I think you are on the right problem, but your solution is too much built for you and not for the people creating the problem (low-tech a

   I like the notion of a Data Workspace, and that you are supporting both SQL and Python. Very interesting.

    Superset and Redash worth a look. I'd go superset if you are comfortable with python but want some of the prebuilt stuff that Tableau gives you.

    Aim at automating something related to something you know very well, as an entry point. Your 20 year exp in IndustryX + a few techy skills could be super useful IMO. A few tech skills on their own will be a hard grind I'd guess, so try

    First time coming across them after following Plaid/Truelayer/Nordigen for a while. Thanks!

    Truelayer cost structure is quite low, order of £400 per month if I recall correctly, which I often thought was relatively cheap. I wonder if the value proposition of free vs £400 is compelling enough. How does Truelayer cost scale up? A mi

    Hey, just came across this, it is nice and easy to use. My comparison was with Laravel spark, which seems like a similar way to get all the obvious things running, but I'd prefer to use python. Have you found much traction with this? I

    How does this compare to the MLFlow Models project? I like MLFlow's relatively full ML life-cycle management, but would also like something simpler. https://mlflow.org/docs/latest/models.html

    It is primarily a tool for analytics engineers (coined by the dbt team I think[]) to write more robust, managed, version controlled, DRY analytics SQL. The tool is designed to be run on an analytics data warehouse (Snowflake/Bigquery&#

    Interesting, I think your classification adds some nice colour to the situation. To me the biggest question, does 2 grow bigger than 3? When X% of people have Telegram, Whatsapp and Signal installed, then it becomes a non-issue to have Sign

    Stubborn minority in this case would be the stubborn Signal users refusing to use Whatapp? 3 groups: 1. Uses Signal only 2. Uses both 3. Uses Whatsapp only 1 is the stubborn minority, 2 is slowly increasing, and 3 probably doesn't care

    Snowflake I suppose for the average ML use case. Not for your high-performance ML, but for your average data scientist, maybe? Edit: I may be wrong[1], would be curious to know what users who've used Spark AND Snowflake would add to th
