Check out Substrait, it sounds like what you’re describing.

Which open-source projects is AOL known for? A quick Google search isn’t returning much.

Python also, similar story.

Hi,

Thanks for the detailed analysis. I’m wondering if you factored in the cost of engineering time invested in this analysis, and how that affects the payback time (if at all).

Thanks!

Is it possible to make a black or silver frame (ideally with thinner bezels)? If so, I'd gladly buy one (wood does not fit in my current theme).

I think we'll see a lot more conferences hosted in Dubai/Qatar for exactly this reason.

We distribute a CLI tool (dbt), so we’re migrating to distributing using the following mechanisms:

1. curl script that installs dbt for end users

2. zipped snapshots for dbt Cloud, the SaaS hosted version of dbt

Eventually we want to create Docker images from 2, but we’re not there yet.

I gave a talk about this at the Packaging Summit during Pycon which was well received, so the team is definitely aware of the problem.

However, the sense I got was that it was going to be a lot of work to “fix Python packaging” which wasn't feasible with an all-volunteer group.

At work, we're migrating away from pip as a distribution mechanism for this reason; I don't expect to see meaningful improvements to the developer experience anytime soon.

This is especially true because pip today is roughly where npm was in 2015, so there's a lot of fundamental infrastructure work (including security) that still needs to happen. An example of this is that PyPI just got the ability to namespace packages.

Can we avoid using a gun analogy here?

Nobody involved has died.

203 according to 1password, but I archive the ones I don't need roughly every year.
