Pretty cool apps! One thing i'd love to see for both is a historical view of the data - how do things change over time? Where is today relative the past five years for a given plac…

Precisely this. Incredibly annoying headline

Failures to allow faster generation/hookup rollout have suppressed supply increase relative to demand increase

"VMs but it's on Hetzner so it's equally fast and 10x cheaper!" Hell yeah I also wanted to build this, good luck mate

The key parts of this is how not vibecoded it is. Feels like a model of how you should do software with AI. Now that we can easily set up property testing, fuzzing, etc. there's al…

"Welcome to the agentic substrate" YAAS (yet another agentic substrate)

There were real geographic and social tradeoffs to having status and power.

Hi HN, I made this. My brother wanted to use per-tenant SQLite at his startup, but really likes Electric’s Shape model for Postgres. So I got curious to see if the same idea was fe…

I'm finding in practice in using this process that you're right - it just doesn't work, even for one dev (usually). ha. But, the process of forcing plans to verify intent has worke…

Reading the capacity crunch idea made me a little more empathetic to their issues - 30x in one year is a lot when you're starting from a high baseline. Now that being said...I'd re…

Reporting back again. It seems I was actually right the first time - the C API's SQLITE_FCNTL_DATA_VERSION doesn't work cross connection. It is cached on each read - but if there a…

I've added examples for many ORMs and web frameworks to the docs. See here: https://honker.dev/guides/orm/#sqlalchemy--sqlmodel

Reporting back. This appears to be a bug in my original test the code of which sadly I did not commit anywhere. I went back to regenerate these tests and proved the opposite - the …

Ha. Great callout. Will inspect further

Will do
