The post does highlight that in the introduction:

> It doesn't do DAGs as well. I often find myself preferring Dagre or ELK when I want a long flowing graph.

Why the snark comment? The PgDog project has been around for a while, it's not vibe coded.

Thank you for the comment. This is not in my area of expertise, so I hope you can clarify - how does one test that "mitochondria and other energy-related biochem phenomena work as expected"?

nikolatt — Sun, 26 Jan 2025 08:22:53 +0000

I've been looking at Iceberg for a while, but in the end went with Delta Lake because it doesn't have a dependency on a catalog. It also has good support for reading and writing from it without needing Spark.

Does anyone know if Iceberg has plans to support similar use cases?

Wait, those high frequency sounds in Tokyo are teenage repellents? I thought they are bird/insect repellants. I could hear the sounds and was literally getting mini headaches walking around.

Hadn't heard of this before, nice! Do you happen to know how they create/generate the diagrams on their homepage?

I just want to say - thank you! I've been using ZSH since it became the default on macOS and one thing that started annoying me recently is the slow startup time. Your snippet tangibly improved that.

Do you by chance have any good resources on optimising my config further?

On the topic of AGSI, the company I work for published a Python client to work with their API in case you're interested: https://github.com/ROITI-Ltd/alsi-py

Edit: Correction, it's for ALSI, not AGSI, sorry about that. We should add AGSI now that the API is available.

It's not the year 2089, but the number of subjects (elderly individuals) which have been tested.

Looks great, thank you for sharing!

A question I have about macOS development - where should I start in order to learn how to make menu bar and shortcut driven UIs?

Could you please elaborate more on this hypnosis?

I have AS as well! Sadly, I have not even researched stem cell treatment so I cannot help with your question. But if I may ask one of my own - what diet have you followed that has helped you with your symptoms. Also, are you taking biological drugs like Humira or Enbrel?

There was this notion that at night the brain is more tired, meaning it cannot both focus on the code and daydream (or similar). From personal experience, this is at least partially true.
