   I'm curious about what's coming out of DOGE. All I've seen is lies and incompetence on the part of DOGE.

   Thanks, that's a really interesting perspective. None of the parts were new to me but the framing has got me thinking about it in a new way. I am now wondering what different incentives would align it more with my values or orient it t

   Interesting discussion. How do you see BPMN (Business Process Modeling Notation) fitting into this picture? I feel that something like BPMN should be the starting point becomes at it from the business person or business analyst's point

   These days I would like to pair this with a database of the supply chain of products which identifiers were parts are sourced from etc... I could then enter some preferences like "avoid products from countries engaging in genocide&quot

   I wanted to build this a couple of years ago. My idea for solving the user problem was as follows: - Users get to ask whether they are getting the best prices (or not) for an item. - They do this by scanning the label with barcode. - If any

   I think the best term is "function composition", but with a particular syntax so pipelining seems alright. Method chaining is a common case, where some base object is repeatedly modified by some action and then the object referenc

   Nice post and I very much agree! In fact I tried to make some similar points in my CMU "SQL or Death" Seminar Series talk on PRQL ( https://db.cs.cmu.edu/events/sql-death-prql-pipelined-relati... ) in that I wo

    Thanks, that's good to know. For the most part I can live with the latency. For frequently or repeatedly accessed files I believe JuiceFS also has a caching layer to bring down the latency on those. My use cases are quite different fro

    Interesting that Americans appear to hold their AI models to a higher standard than their politicians.

    Similar to the SeaweedFS question in sibling comment, how does this compare to JuiceFS? In particular for my homelab setup I'm planning to run JuiceFS on top of S3 Garage. I know garage is only replication without any erasure coding or

    So true! It's a psychological phenomenon called Projection. I think it's quite universal though. It's like our understanding of other people is an extrapolation of our understanding of ourselves. Perhaps people with high EQ c

    Thanks for this. Looks cool! I see you mentioned Radicle. What are the major differences compared to Radicle? Having read just the blog post I would guess it's the source of the identity as a start, so you can use users' existing

    I love how we generally hear very little from Anthropic and don't have to deal with the constant hype. And they still have the preferred coding model despite its age. Looking forward to this release. Hope it will be a good one!

    Oh nice! Thanks for setting that straight. Apologies, I must have either missed that or forgotten about it.

    Here's a more complex example for sessionizing user events: # specify the target SQL dialect prql target:sql.duckdb # define the "sessionize" function let sessionize = func user_col date_col max_gap:365

    SQL pipe syntax is a great step in the right direction but what I think sets PRQL apart (in my very biased opinion, contributor) is the ability to define functions. Here's a simple example: # define the "take_smallest"

    Right, that's not my forte as well. Seems like quite a key enabler though so let me see where we are on that. There was also a helpful comment on a HN thread a few weeks back about how to make the API better to develop against. I'

    Yes, that's precisely it. PRQL is a completely volunteer driven project by folks who had enough of the thousands of paper cuts from SQL and felt that we deserved something better after 50 years. Throw away the SQL syntax and keep what
