Pretty cool! I'm not swiss, but I've heard of a Nordic equivalent. I think its Hudd, uses BankID which I guess is the same as SwissID.

I personally would never sign up for a service like that though. Mostly a numbers problem. Smaller countries means fewer people with my niche interests. Better to join a discord community around it that allows a global audience

Yeah deep down I know you're right

I've done this for internal dev tools! It's amazing how many assumptions you have about everything.

I've great success with friction logs: https://mikebifulco.com/posts/how-stripe-uses-friction-logs

If you are a platform team, going through this with your internal customers is both driving adoption and making your tools better. Highly recommended!

Thank you for pointing this out! I always love a good competition and since I already have a workers paid plan it seemed fun. But I'm not eligible, so I guess I'll rebuild github without giving any IP to Cloudflare

I really wanted to like using a Macbook. I've given it a go a few times, amazing battery life and great build quality.

But I can't get over how it locks you down completely software wise. I wanted a sane WM and tried skhd and yabai. They are a collection of hacks on the accessibility API, and they will break whenever Apple decides to. To me that's unacceptable as a daily driver

I open sourced kavla, the SQL canvas I'm working on: https://github.com/aleda145/kavla

README is very bare bones, needs a video or a picture too. The website should tell you some more things: https://kavla.dev (and now the demo does not require a login (also need to remake the demo to fit the new self hosted version))

It's still lacking an analytics agent for the local version though. I've explored using codex CLI, but it feels like its extensive system prompt cripples the agent a lot vs Kimi 2.7 that I've been using in the cloud version.

I think it would also be nice to lean into the fully local LLM setup too, especially for data that shouldn't leave the device.

Excited about a stable C++ API for extensions!

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

Hard disagree. Sure their docs are bad, and it's sometimes buggy. But to me cloudflare is actually innovating and trying to offer "new" infrastructure. Durable objects and workers are super cool. R2 has free egress, isn't it insane that they could pull that off?

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.

This stance is a breath of fresh air. In my experience change management is the first thing to slap on when a bad release happens.

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

I'm very impressed how well durable objects work for multiplayer experience!

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

100% agree, it's on the todo list!

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

10 years ago I rode my bicycle from Connecticut to Central America. I stayed in Antigua for a few days to just relax and reflect. Thanks for bringing those memories back!
