This is awesome! The only thing better than being spoilt for choice is not having to choose at all.

Why wouldn't you play your favourite song on repeat until the marginal utility of one more play is less than that of the next best song? Neurotypicals are so weird!

For anyone wondering about F3, here are links to the paper and current HackerNews discussion: pdf: db.cs.cmu.edu/papers/2025/... HN: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4543... I haven't read it yet but based on the abstract and authors (incl. Wes McKinney & Andy Pavlo), I will be reading it.

I'm working on a report on the causes of burnout in open source software. If you're a part of the OSS community, I would love to hear your thoughts, either here on Bluesky, or privately via email (see post). Thanks 😊 mirandaheath.website/report-on-bu...

Watching the F1 Grand Prix at Monza, Italy this weekend, i was struck by how much the Parabolica resembles one half of the Circus Maximus. Le plus ca change, le plus c'est la meme chose!

Compromise is the shared hypotenuse of the conjoined triangles of success.

Database tables are unordered, but functional programming languages work best over ordered lists. Which should Morel prefer? Both! We now have "list" and "bag" types, and full relational algebra over both. blog.hydromatic.net/2025/06/06/o...

Is it possible to do serious programming (such as solving Wordle) in a query language? If not, what's missing? The video of my DataCouncil talk is posted. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwFs...

this is a pretty fun project! it is basically a decentralized WordPress plugin package manager, using DID PLC as an identifier and store for package signing keys; and atproto for discovery/indexing of plugins in the ecosystem. github.com/fairpm/fair-...

The urge to start a podcast is equivalent to the urge to create a DSL* * (a domain-specific language, which is something the most genius and widely loved programmers do, everybody's stoked when I do it)

Yes, and how many years must a mountain exist Before it is washed to the sea? Yes, and how many years can some people exist Before they're allowed to be free? Yes, and how many times can a man turn his head And pretend that he just doesn't see? #ee2a35 #000000 #ffffff #009736

Only came to my attention today so it's a day late but I found this a beautiful message well worth the short read: neurodivergentinsights.substack.com/p/a-mothers-...

Someone on Threads noticed you can type any random sentence into Google, then add “meaning” afterwards, and you’ll get an AI explanation of a famous idiom or phrase you just made up. Here is mine

Nice post which I learned quite a bit from, especially the newer features! 🤯 blog.edward-li.com/tech/advance...

Hi @data-for-good.bsky.social, just noticed your follow. Sounds like a great initiative. I used to be involved with a similar initiative here in South Africa many years ago. Glad to see they are still going strong and keeping up the good fight! openup.org.za

Today's SQL or Death Seminar Speaker: @tobiasbrandt.bsky.social will present the #PRQL replacement for SQL. Zoom talk open to public at 4:30pm ET. YouTube video available after: db.cs.cmu.edu/events/sql-d...

Are you #data language fluid, #PRQL curious, or ever experienced #SQL dysphoria? This talk will explore why we don't need to throw out the #RelationalModel to express ourselves fully without outdated norms. #progressive #databs

Hello #dataBS, I'm looking forward to presenting #PRQL at the CMU Seminar Series on **SQL or Death** in just over 12 hours time. This will be a deep dive into why we need a new language for #data and what we're doing about it at prql-lang.org. Details and Zoom link: db.cs.cmu.edu/events/sql-d...

DuckDB now supports querying Iceberg data in S3 Tables as preview: duckdb.org/2025/03/14/p...

Was just looking into some #vim history - I thought the key choices came from the Lisp Machine but it turns out it was the ADM-3A. ➕TIL that: The Home key on the ^ key may have additionally led to the establishment of the tilde ("~") as the representation of the home directory in many #Unix shells.

The HYTRADBOI 2025 program is looking awesome! 🔥 www.hytradboi.com/2025/ A whole lot of #data and #database goodness in easily digestible 10 min 🍕s ➕ you get to hang out with the speakers on Zulip chat, all from the comfort of your 🏠 for $2^6 or less! See you there in a couple of hours❗

A little love letter to @tailscale.com, a favorite product I’ve come across in the last 20 years or more due to its elegance, laser-beam focus (not crudded up with unrelated features), clear documentation, and more. This article will get you started with it, too! tidbits.com/2025/02/24/t...

I'm liking what I'm seeing of this RASL DASL. 🔥 Looking forward to learn more about it and hope to see more razzle-dazzle about it in future. 🎉

If you spend your days staring at DuckDB's EXPLAIN output, you may find our DuckDB execution plan visualizer helpful (which we have derived from DALIBO's PostgreSQL-specific PEV2, built on Alex Tatiyant's excellent PEV). In its early stages, but already workable: db.cs.uni-tuebingen.de/explain/

Manager: "What's this milestone 'Living on a prayer' ?" Me: "That's the documentation deliverable." Manager: "What's the status of that?" Me: "We're halfway there" Manager: "Why is progress so slow?" Me: "You fired Tommy" Manager: "So?" Me: "Tommy used to work on the docs"

Light weight in-memory Postgres instances with PGlite are perfect for unit tests. We recently added a `.clone()` method to make it super easy for have a clean state for each test. Just setup the schema and fixtures once, then clone!

⭐ "Absolutely terrible. I tried copying ChatGPT's code into my project, and now my fridge is mining Bitcoin. The book says, ‘Test in production,’ but that's how I ended up breaking production. Save your money for therapy instead." — Furious Freelancer

⭐⭐⭐ "Decent guide for beginners, but I was hoping for more advanced techniques like how to make ChatGPT handle my stand-ups and write convincing commit messages. Still, I appreciated the troubleshooting flowchart: ‘If it breaks, regenerate and pray.’" — Senior Developer Who Should Know Better

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Finally, a book that understands my approach to coding: fast, untested, and someone else’s problem. The sloth on the cover isn’t just a mascot; it’s a spirit animal. If you're tired of the burden of 'best practices,' this book is your new Bible." — Karen, Queen of Copy-Paste
