I made a dry run extension a few months ago (https://github.com/aleda145/duckdb-dryrun), will be so nice to build it just once and know that it will always work.

Also urge anyone to make an extension, the template makes it quite smooth: https://github.com/duckdb/extension-template

If what you want is a VM to run postgres then there are other offerings that would be much better.

Not saying they aren't evil though, they probably are, but the infra stuff is cool.

I've worked at a large enterprise that have a "Change Advisory Board", that you need to convince when you want to bump the major version on your linter. It has the effect of velocity slowing down to a crawl. Changes have to large, since otherwise it wouldn't be approved by the CAB. A slow mess.

At my current place we have to loudly declare "I CONFIRM COMPLIANCE" in every PR description. I'm not sure that anyone knows why, but it keeps the bureaucrats happy. Shrug

Also looks like the table shapes broke, there should be data that you can browse and download. I've replaced those with screenshots just in case anyone else sees it

If you just want to see what it looks like here's a demo looking at hackernews data: https://kavla.dev/hn

There's also no email verification gatekeeping it so feel free to just input some bogus data when signing up

I've worked on it for about a year, with 1700 commits. I've been going back and forth if I should just open up the canvas or also the multiplayer experience.

I've always had the dream to make some money from a side project, but I don't think this one is it, so I'll just make the entire repo public. Just want to clean up some stuff first.

Lots of fun tech used: duckDB WASM, Cloudflare Durable Objects, tldraw and pocketbase

Maybe I'm a bit too reactionary though. Thinking about it some more I would absolutely read something if it was recommended by a trusted source (which in my case is almost always a human I know in the physical world).

I feel very sorry to any budding new authors. Maybe we are entering a literary dark age?

I'm not sure about the AI agent angle though, why would it need that specific context on a user level? I guess they are exploring a "chat with my spotify history" or user generated playlists?

(also the article has several LLM smells. It's technically interesting but reads like slop at times)

Some thoughts:

A "bubbling" topic right now is conversational analytics (i.e. talk to your data). There has been an explosion of tools in the last 6 months. YC is backing one too: https://getnao.io/

I feel like pandas is also somewhat frowned upon, the industry has moved on from that. Most SQL tools can now do everything that we could only do with pandas.

In my network everyone is talking about DuckDB. As long as you are under a 1TB it will have everything you need. I think most people should start with that vs locking themselves into something like Snowflake

There were a lot of complications post delivery, and I want to make some sort of interactive story about it. We'll see how it goes

(Everyone is safe and sound)

Their party program is all over the place. They stand for free dental care, direct democracy and deporting immigrants.

Marcus is also known for profanity and foul language in council meetings.

An oddity in Swedish politics is that if a local party manages to get 12% of the votes in a constituency they are eligible for getting a seat in parliament, and can skip the regular 4% popular vote rule.

Örebropartiet actually has a chance to get into national government next election (Fall 2026) since their local support is quite strong. Times are weird
