   I'm surprised there isn't a single mention of Gemini 1.5 Pro. I've been using it for about a month because it came for free with my Google setup and I've been pretty happy. Not for coding but mostly for business tasks li

   Looks great and I might give this a try but I agree with rob74 that cross-platform would be better. It makes sense that the Windows Explorer (or file system gui integration more generally) would be platform specific but presumably the tree

   Hi, Thanks for the post. Very insightful! I'm looking forward to trying out your pywasm module, or should it be ESP (Excel Subsystem for Python)?

   Hi, I'd love to read your paper when it's ready.

   Ok then you're not really giving up much with data-first and are gaining benefits. Rye has an interesting approach with the * syntax to allow injecting into the second argument for op-words: https://ryelang.org/meet_rye

   Thanks. This was really interesting. I hadn't considered the impact on type inference before.

   I like the comparison to implicit methods or trait implementations in rust. However what about currying and partial application? The article didn't come back to that. It's that lost now in Gleam? We wrestled with the same issue in

    How does this compare to cr-sqlite ( https://github.com/vlcn-io/cr-sqlite ) which uses CRDTs to create a conflict free replicated sqlite?

    I used to be a huge fan of John Baez when I was an aspiring theoretical physicist and into category theory. His weekly finds in mathematical physics column was my HN before HN. Didn't read the post but I wonder whether it relates to th

    Nice. Link to the video on YouTube for those interested: https://youtu.be/aXLra-31Jh0?si=WQ0X1pCVLezQh4PF I'm curious about the choices of Alacritty over Wezterm and Zellij over tmux though. Especially if going with

    It would be nice to have some example words and sentences because I can't quite picture how the vowels look.

    I want to like this but I found the UI too confusing and didn't get anything out of the current experience. I liked the BBS/ssh server intro and styling but you lost me at the jumpy, nested circular tree chart thingy. Maybe a bori

    Yeah, I guess you could equivalently put a SQLite database with a view or virtual table in S3 which would give you the same level of indirection and API abstraction provided by this mechanism. Where DuckDB will have an advantage is in the p

    I think what was implied was that the user just references the view so as long as you update the view in concert with the data format change then the user is none the wiser about the change.

    That is wild! I'd also like to learn more about this. The language is a bit, idk superlative, but if it does what it says then it would be great.

    Wow, a blast from the past indeed. I used it heavily in 1997 and then switched to other things in the late 90s. Can't believe this still works.

    The DN example would be an instance of non-Euclidean topology whereas the other one is presumably non-Euclidean geometry.

    So my point is that it's not cheapening but rather semantic drift akin to how compile and run in tech also mean something different from everyday English usage.

    I'm not a psychologist but my wife is. My understanding is that terms like trauma have a technical meaning in these fields which doesn't always match exactly how it is used in everyday language. For a medical doctor anything that

    DuckDB would be great or accessible through DataFusion! Looking forward to see what you will build next!

    This is awesome! I last played with it over a year ago and I see that blog post is from Dec 2023. Looking forward to trying out the sqlite extension.

    I like steampipe but found the use of postgres a bit heavy for my use cases. Could you make it run with pg_lite in wasm or DuckDB?
