Neat to know MIT License did actually originate at the eponymous institution. When I first got access to the internet, MIT seemed awfully productive in producing code. Before I found out that MIT License doesn't imply the work was done

Windmill looks cool! I've always wanted to write something like Huginn [1] available as a single binary. Can I ask, what were the benefits of writing a new workflow engine instead of building around Temporal? 1 - https://git

Online detection of problematic inputs seems plenty interesting! I am curious, does your framework run the detection logic in process or as a daemon the library is shipping over data to?

Sqlglot is fantastic, and a super readable codebase to learn from! Thanks @captaintobs. With the comparisons to calcite, I was curious if you've considered implementing sqlglot in a native language too? Something compiling down to a sm

You might enjoy the FunSQL library; SQL verbs are represented using regular Julia objects and you pipeline them together to build bigger queries. A key difference to other SQL builders is that you assemble a tree of "tabular operations

Sam already had a boy genius profile, and more positive coverage of him would plausibly have translated to better returns on their investment in FTX.

This looks super cool! Typically, products/projects claiming "browser is the new OS" either, * run a full blown browser in the cloud and stream back pixels * emulate a native application in the browser (like, github.dev) Both

If you are posing the question, "why does Preact not make hooks behave like signals?", it very likely is to retain similarity with React where you only have hooks. For better or worse, Preact is known to most folks as an alternate

Sorry, you seem to hint at knowing this already. But, to clarify, * Hooks - `setState` reruns the full code for your component. * Signals - only the dependent effects/computed/JSX is run.

This is a good thought exercise. I wouldn't call it stealing, though I am not sure how legal liability is assessed, say if they picked up GPL code unknown to the company, and the company is later sued over it. This isn't derived f

Sorry, to be clear, I meant even if a Github user asserts their code is public-domain/no-attribution/unlicensed, they could have lifted it off a codebase that doesn't allow it. It would be tricky for Github to establish the c

It is hard to see how verifying licenses is a solvable problem, when licensing for code dependencies can be transitive. For ex - if I copy code from a GPL codebase like Linux and create a Github repository with an MIT license.

This was comprehensive, thanks! Lightweight deployment and better security (than configuring seccomp) are both interesting features. Could you please link to the product/project you're building (of course if it is open)?

That would indeed be super useful to extend self hosted automation tools like Huginn. From what I understand, wasm/wasi modules don't have full networking or filesystem access support yet. So you probably have to rely on specific

I have the same question. Since Supabase still exposes the connection parameters to the database, we could spin up another Flask server to deal with routes that are not expressible as simple CRUD operations. The JWT secret shared by the aut

For cryptocurrency to flourish, the end goal would be to have everyone as a stakeholder (not intended as an indictment), so additions/changes to the laws that are favorable to the industry have public support. As others point out, Coin

That is because doing incremental computation efficiently is complicated! I'd think the project idea is that differential dataflow is too useful a technology to only be understood by a few people. By writing it a second time around, it

Thank you for the answer! Think I missed the grafana related context, but the design document is really instructive.

Yep, this was the one! It looks great though I hadn't got around to trying it. Do you think something like Cue makes for a better representation for lowdefy apps than YAML, since it seems to offer better abstraction ability and hence

This seems really exciting. I haven't had the chance to use Grafana yet; from the linked issue, am I understanding correctly that you'll be able to serialize dashboards to Cue schema, and hence get all the niceties of a structured

This remark is really unkind. D3 precedes Observable, and the development path is exactly what someone would take if they wanted to make data visualization accessible - create a base library, and later opinionated tools to work with it. The

A possible reason not mentioned in the post is that writing efficient incremental algorithms is just fundamentally hard, despite the primitives and tooling afforded by the differential dataflow library. For example, even with a lot of machi

I thought this implementation was meant for compile-once-run-everywhere usage, so I can't see how a compiler would do away with a this if-statement. Could you please say more?

Would this not make the implementation inefficient?

The webview project fills some of this need, correct? I didn't start using one yet but there were multiple GUI projects leveraging it to create cross-platform application binaries. Link - https://github.com/webview&#x2F

I'd love for it to be true. Tools written in a programming language with modern tooling make customizing it a lot more accessible.
