Intriguing concept, especially because I've thought of dabbling into this area. Can this tool solve these problems with models: - insisting on using sed and shell redirection instead of File Edit Tools? - trying to use npx to run comma

As an aside, there's now Lance data format support in DuckDB through their extension. It has Lance's vector search support available among other things: https://github.com/lance-format/lance-duckdb/tree&#

Well, this looks very nice. I have so far avoided runbooks, preferring to use Ansible or such. Installed, and will see if I'll change my habits. Containers and such have made Ansible usage more cumbersome. Also, I noticed there's

I wonder what is the difference between efficiency of MacBook display vs Framework laptop. Whilst CPU and GPU take considerable power they aren't usually working at 100% utilization. Display however has to be using power all the time,

I'm no health expert, only an expert practitioner of my hands. Mostly I keep changing keyboards and positions. That small chorded keyset can be set to more natural positions and moved at will to wherever you can reach. You ostensibly d

Yeah, I have probably conflated the two technologies somewhere along the way. And if I had read all the way to the footnotes of the original article I'd have found the keyset's chords. They do are counting in straight binary, goin

Whoa. Thank you for the info dump. I'll see about making use of these. That Tap device has moved from fingers to wrist, I see. Sadly it's out of stock. Plus getting niche devices outside US is expensive and warranty probably doesn

I sometimes wonder if chorded keyboard would be better for controlling the computer and keeping better posture against RSI issues. Not to mention more compact space compared to full keyboard. I seem to remember from a recording of the demo

And since in Lisp code is data and data is code you could go even farther back. A tad sensationalist claim from the article authors.

I find it a baffling that the popularity of Jupyter and successes of notebook analysis in science hasn’t brought a change in Python to better support this user base. Packaging has (slowly) progressed and Uv nicely made the experience smooth

This is a wonderful project. Seemingly simple on the surface. I'd love to see some notes of the frontend implementation. I see there's OpenFreeMap as presumably the base map, which uses MBTiles. Then custom geometry on top from P

That's one way of looking at it. To me this UI seems like both a useful tool and an advertisement. There's another way this could have gone. DuckDB Labs might have published the extension as providing official HTTP API for all to

Ok, thank you for the explanation. I realized that the extension provides a HTTP API to DuckDB. Is this perhaps to become the official way to use DuckDB through HTTP? For me this is much more interesting than one particular UI. I went looki

The nature of UI as an extension is somewhat hard to understand, since its installation method differs from other extensions. Even core ones. Some extensions autoload, some require INSTALL query, and this one has its own special builtin que

I have thought that the commercial nature of the (heh) mother company here, DuckDB labs, is support contracts and the like. Whilst MotherDuck is just another VC funded company in the DuckDB ecosystem. This new extension being added the list

The UI looks nice and is by itself a welcome addition. I am somewhat at odds with it being a default extension build into DuckDB release. This still is a feature/product coming from another company than the makers of DuckDB [1], though

At first read this seems really promising. Getting into Elixir/Erlang ecosystem from Python has seemed too hard to take the time. And when there I wouldn't be able to leverage all the Python stuff I've learned. With Pythonx g

You can use DuckDB WASM independently of Pyodide and can extend it with SQLite. Though it seems to be somewhat limited. I couldn't even check what version it has, since sqlite_version() was missing. Version in the repository [1] is 3.3

I do applaud this kind of work. Better, faster tooling for data as files and moving across runtimes is sorely needed. Two things I would hope to see before I'd start using Vorter is geospatial data support (there's already Geoparq

There's the tmux -CC control mode support that was mentioned, which combines best from both. Leader key support that arrived in this version might enable even greater Tmux integration. I like how easy it has been to manage Unix termina

Thank you for your reply. For the first point, I agree. When I was doing my experiments with single file Django I was thinking of combining few simple, single purpose apps into one regular Django project. This project would serve as an actu
