At the company I work at we manage a lot of historical data with Timescale, but we have also had good results with vanilla PostgreSQL for smaller time-series-data-sets. If you are already comfortable with Postgres this might be worth a look

It can imply isolation, but not necessarily. It is also possible that there are some precursor languages, of which no evidence could be found (yet). Another good example are the Koreanic languages of which modern Korean is a member. The Ket

Really looking forward to see more non-destructive editing. For me this has been one of the major reasons not to use GIMP in the past. The integration of GEGL is a huge milestone for GIMP imho.

I feel the same. I have "only" about 15 years worth of mail in Thunderbird but I am getting increasingly tired of working with the GUI, at least for reading and searching historical mail. One of these days I will convert my mbox m

I disagree. I have been using Matrix with Element as my main IM with my own homeserver for 3 years now, and the onboarding experience is just bad. You have to read so many texts which are spread across so many pages just to get stuff to wor

This would also be a great prompt for a short horror story where someone discovers more people have been living in their house than they believed.

I used the Tex keycaps for a keyboard I built about three years ago. After three years of daily usage I have noticed a lot of wear on the keycaps. Some letters are barely visible, and some of the caps have gotten really shiny, i.e. they hav

I really had force myself not to preorder a SimulaVR back when they first put it online. I am very "in love with the idea of it" as V. Buterin writes. But I am too afraid it will fail like so many other VR projects (and this one i

I did say "opinionated", not "too opinionated" and I believe that is a fair characterization, would you not agree? Anyway, thanks for all your work on hledger and pta in general, Simon!

This looks really great Simon, best of luck! I have been able to use Datasette for so much cool stuff in the last few years, I can't recommend it enough and will definitely try out datasette.cloud!

Thank you for asking, since I dished it out I will try and explain what gave me that feeling, although @braza has made some excellent points already. First off, thank you for the article, it was certainly interesting for me, being a newcome
