"Taking off" and "Stadia" in the same sentence seems... out of touch. Interesting ideas all around, and great engineering challenges. But these things aren't rocketing into the stratosphere of public acceptance and

This looks interesting, it appears to be along the same lines as baserow.io, NocoDB, Metabase and the like. Are you aiming for the same space or what makes Basetool different?

PostgREST as others have mentioned is excellent. Check out https://supabase.io for their hosted/managed option with a few more features (and open source tools working in concert).

My guess is that Blender's 3D rendering and lighting is far better than most GIS packages, including QGIS.

Thank you John for your work with WhiteBoxTools, I was introduced to it when a former student of yours entered our GIS program at Selkirk College a couple years back and have been keeping one eye on it since. You've got some really exc

It can even be tested with the author's own tool[1] and the sample image he provides. I'm surprised the author didn't experiment themselves? Or maybe the did, and the it's the further reduced settings they decided should

Yeah, I still just don't get it. That whole twitter feeds looks like a hunt for a greater fool. This doesn't seem like artists controlling their IP, to me it seems like another method of sales that lets them tap into essentially a

So is being an asshole. Shame we can’t meet middle way with either attitude.

Perhaps not fancy, but French’s ketchup is much better, at least in Canada. Less sweet, more tomato flavour.

That is not the case. At least not in postgres 13. The owner of the view only determines if RLS is bypassed or not. If the view is owned by a different user than the table (or `FORCE ROW LEVEL SECURITY`), then the view will evaluate RLS. RL

I was having issues with this as well; it seemed my problem was that I was creating the view as a superuser. Since view creation is essentially WITH SECURITY DEFINER (to take a term from UDFs) any user accessing the view to see the underlyi

I still can’t quite figure out why it’s not more popular... then again, I don’t use it either, sadly, because it’s not as popular as I feel it deserves; I feel like there must be some reason it’s not used more, so in turn haven’t dedicated

This looks a lot like baserow.io too; nice to see more projects like this opening up spreadsheet/db alternatives.

This is such a useful abstraction. I love working with PostGREST and have used it quite often for quick services (e.g. a vote button on a static site), internal tools (recently a covid checkin-screener), and for Proof of Concepts (postgres+

Yeah, that’s the start. And I think what I’m after is eventually on the way. I’m not sure this would quite work the way I’d like; I guess variables could be passed into the template based on path and it could request different remote conten

I run a few (well, one published, one in the works, a couple one-offs for student showcases) websites built with Zola. It's a great, little, simple piece of software. What I like: * Already supports the tooling I enjoy → SCSS out

Yes. True and fair. But how can we test the page rank algorithm “ourselves"? Who is "we" in the "we do test them"? Is the public even asking for 3rd party examinations by transparent/public organizations (or at

Seems to me that’s a viable answer. How can we test an algorithm like Google’s ranking though? We can’t feed it consistent data like in a software test. It relies on too much information, and what we know about it indicates we can’t extract

Right, like I said, credibility is a different problem. But at this point, we don't even get a lie from them, we get nothing. At least a lie can be checked and examined. There's nothing available at all currently.

To me, their response didn't seem to indicate that it should be directly decided by people. This is a consumer protection matter, and to stretch an analogy, like a list of ingredients on a consumable. Here we have these black boxes, an

By asking them. You can't just ask an algorithm, it must be designed to show its own work. Credibility is another problem...

That 400 number seems off to me. Without more information on where you've pulled that number, what I can find is that there's ~74.7k deaths where COVID-19 was mentioned on the death cert in England and Whales since January last ye
