This sent me on a trip down memory lane! So nice that they are still going.

I solved a few of their problems almost 10 years ago. Looking at my repo I have absolutely regressed mathematically. I apparently solved project 15 without any code: https://github.com/aleda145/projecteuler/blob/master/problem...

(spoilers for: https://projecteuler.net/problem=15)

No way I would have reached for combinatorics if I got this problem at work.

This makes me a bit sad :(

That's a great point! "Speed to insight" feels more important than ever

Cool! But as a data engineer I don't know when I would ever use this. Getting data into a centralized place so it can be joined and queried easily is like prio 1 for any data team.

I'm sure SREs will really love me doing expensive adhoc queries against production postgres /s

I've yet to work in enterprises big enough to have multi cloud data warehouses though, maybe it's more useful in that setting?

aleda145 — Sat, 30 May 2026 23:53:19 +0000

I recently picked up writing short stories again. I briefly looked at different editors, but ended up just doing it in vscode (daily driver). I'll make sure to look at cheese paper for the next one, looks like it has some cool features!

A feature that I have been dreaming about is making an editor that treats each paragraph like a unit of work, and the full text is created by linking together different paragraphs. That way you can easily try different ways without deleting any text. Sort of like nodes in a graph.

And here's my a corporate themed short story: https://dahl.dev/capacity

Really nice! I tried out a similar thing but with tldraw as the canvas engine: https://github.com/aleda145/terminaldraw

I see Cate also uses node-pty. I didn't know what psuedo terminals were before, it's cool stuff

I don't know, it is a useful signal that the person did not think deeply about their code changes, and should be treated as such.

Oh so lobbying the EU comission to both slash CO2 targets and adding tolls to chinese EV cars did not actually make German auto manufacturers more competitive. Who would have thunk?

Yes I'm bitter how much influence the German car companies have over the union.

Is it egress or storage that's the main cost driver?

WSL support too? Could be cool with a unified thing, not sure if that's even possible though.

Still working on my SQL canvas: https://kavla.dev/

I started with this last summer. Usually I get tired of an idea, but this one is just an endless pit of things to try out.

Currently seeing how we can get an analytics agent working on the canvas. Video here: https://x.com/i/status/2053410747137266070

I appreciate this part of the agent instructions: `AESTHETICS ARE VERY IMPORTANT. All apps should LOOK AMAZING and have GREAT FUNCTIONALITY!`

Mosaic is super cool!

Took me a while to grok what it's all about, I think this example really helps: https://idl.uw.edu/mosaic/examples/flights-10m.html

Appreciate you putting the entire book online!

I read parts of it a while ago when I had an idea on using webRTC data channels to pass data from databases to browser clients via a CLI. Your book made me understand that it's probably not a great fit for my use case. I just used a centralized control plane and websockets instead.

I still feel like there is something fun that we can do with webRTC data channels + zero copy Apache Arrow arraybuffers + duckdb WASM, but haven't figured it out yet

Because I'm curious, how come you picked php for the backend?

I remember p2hari commenting on one of my "What are you working on" comments, so maybe they got it from there. Anyway, here's the link: https://kavla.dev/
