   Well PRQL sits on top of SQL so building a good SQL interface is the first step to supporting PRQL at this point. You can then easily add PRQL on top.

   I'd be interested to hear what you see as your closest competition?

   It's a valid concern. I'm also working on a similar tool (which I'm not ready to reveal yet) and you're quite right. Only time will tell I guess.

   It's nice but I think D2 is nicer. I'm waiting for D2 to be open sourced and going that more tools will adopt it then, like mermaid and diagram.

   Thanks. Looks very interesting! My main observation just looking at your example pictures is that its closest competitor is Gaussian Processes which I've long been a fan of. Just looking at those pictures it looks like GP and TabPFN ar

   Have a look at PRQL (www.prql-lang.org)! That's exactly what it's aiming to provide.

   Kinda agree. A rust version would be awesome.

    Now this brings back memories! I learnt assembly and graphics programming from this in the 90s.

    What about Apache Iceberg for those?

    What about Localstack? I haven't used it myself yet but discovered it the other day and want to use it for a test harness for an application I'm building. https://hub.docker.com/r/localstack/localstack

    Credit Suisse strategist Zoltan Pozsar has found a new level of fame over the last year, arguing that we're witnessing the birth of a new currency regime that he calls "Bretton Woods 3.0". In this new era, the centrality of t

    I found this tweet from Andy Grove and in the linked benchmarks DataFusion is just behind DuckDB. https://twitter.com/andygrove_io/status/1559920848882073600?...

    How do people see Apache DataFusion fitting into this space? I've also been following DuckDB for a while and remain very excited about it. I've only recently become aware of DataFusion and am building a small project with it but I

    Great suggestion and thank you for leading with a nice example! I enjoyed reading your notes and benefited immensely from them.

    One question I have is whether you can use your own Excel setup and stuff like custom toolbars etc...?
19. 739.▲
    by snthpy 4y ago

    I have to agree with the OP (_dain_) here. Excel has evolved a lot in the last few years, first the whole Power Query and Power Pivot revolution and now all the functional stuff brought on by Simon Peyton-Jones and his crew like LET express

    Interesting. May be a correlation rather than causation thing. For example if your dopamine levels are elevated for some unrelated reason then you may be experiencing more motivation hence the work on your FOSS projects and you may also exp

    Not sure if it's in the same league but in South Africa we have considered towing icebergs to Cape Town as a possible water supply as recently as 2019. From the article I see that in the past that's something they considered for S

    You could have something like import strutils{split, trim} similar to how rust does things. What would be the problem with that?

    Thank you. That is my single biggest gripe about nim as well. If you believe, as I do, that code is read more than it is written, then this becomes a big deal. Clearly readability is important to nim's design so this departure from tha

    You can also do this in PRQL: from a join b [a_id] is the equivalent query.

    by snthpy 4y ago

    As you said, let the Database Engine do the hard work of optimizing the query plan for you. I currently have no reason to believe that the PRQL generated SQL would be any worse than hand written SQL. That said, I don't think we've

    That's a really good question! (and one we should probably answer explicitly in the [FAQ]( https://prql-lang.org/faq/ ) rather than just implicitly) The README states that "PRQL is a modern language for transf

    I was excited to see Nim get a little bit more love on HN for once but unfortunately that's quite a short list. Looking forward to seeing Nim get more traction over time. This is a great talk on what makes Nim special IMHO for those ne
