It’s surprising to find a join waitlist button for an open source project. I see that it looks like it will be self-hostable and that the repo is forthcoming but I had to scroll a …

I spent a while mixing this up with PiKVM and was having trouble understanding how any of it would fit in with that project. Made a lot more sense once I got over that.

What type of battery life do you see when running these off of a power bank?

This is the book I like for an overview of the problem. https://www.amazon.com/Temporal-Relational-Kaufmann-Manageme...

Looks interesting! It's not obvious to me on the website what the pricing or licensing situation is with DBSnapper. How does that work? Thanks!

Very excited to hear this! Congrats!

Obviously there is no actual model. ChatGPT is just tens of thousands of people writing responses to user's queries in realtime.

Would the licensing of Grist allow for building widgets/components to use it in dashboard tools like Streamlit, Jupyter, or Holoviz's Panel? Looks cool!

Pandas, Django, and Flask.

I’ve found the Python Speed [1] site an excellent resource for the quirks of working with Python in containers for data science use cases. [1] https://www.pythonspeed.com

I've been wishing that JetBrains and Posit (nee RStudio) would adopt the devcontainer standard, but then I just read this article [1] about how MSFT is using VS Code's weird mix of…

I'm kind of obsessed with this space and have spent way too long setting up VS Code and RStudio IDEs on my homelab. One area I struggle with when thinking about building container-…

Why does “pip install gcc” keep failing then? ;) Conda isn’t perfect but takes on a lot of problems that pip doesn’t deal with at all. Regular conda is really slow these days but y…

If you use conda there are extensions that can help with this by automatically registering any available conda environments that include ipykernel in your Jupyter Lab environment. …

Nice article, thanks! It would be great if DuckDB handled this itself, but it seems like to be competitive with Athena on really massive datasets, you need to have a metadata layer…

I think the issues of privilege are worth considering, but I think they’re not the only dimension worth thinking about. Consider this hypothetical. You’ve got two equally wealthy k…

How so?

Really wish they'd released this as open source. Sounds interesting.

Portable hard drive is probably the most practical. Another option not on this list would be rclone [1]. [1] https://rclone.org/docs/

Yeah I've just got a mess of bookmarks in various different services, including several different lists of bookmark/note organization services. Tools like Obsidian[1] and Roam[2] s…

Designing Data Intensive Applications is pretty popular. https://dataintensive.net/

I’m really excited about the potential for this in my work. I’ve worked in data science / data engineering roles and had to learn a lot of random web stuff that I honestly didn’t r…

Quarto is also pretty interesting for this.
