Because postgres and postgis are awesome! I migrated to them in 2005 (from mysql) and was amazed by how much happier I was. And it never cost me a dollar. I loved it so much I visi…

In those images I see: - complete graphs (the triangle matrices) - incomplete graphs (the circular ones with only some segments conntected) And those are excellent ways to visualiz…

Its... cool? Alternative would be: clone the repo, do your changes, run gitk to be sure. Which has advantage that result looks exactly the same as it will in production (no new dia…

Wrong. No way they could scale using humans. Humans were used only for training data. ChatGPT itself says all kinds of things; journalists using it as a source are either badly uni…

20+ year fan of graphviz here, love seeing what you are doing with D2! Any examples of larger diagrams (1000+s of nodes) and how does that perform in layout?

I'm glad they are thinking through the details on barrier design. Lets not forget that is only necessary because the automotive industry is barbaric to begin with. Let's recall why…

Does anyone actually think this number is accurate to a decimal place?

I remember in grade 8 my geography teacher noticing I wasn't paying attention and asking: "What did I just say?" The sound of his last couple sentences were in my recent memory (ti…
