Oops wrong principia :-)

Unix is a base layer that provides enough abstractions to build services. Perhaps there are better abstractions if one looks at Plan 9... but that never took off unfortunately.

What they want is a framework for persisting stuff... that is an application level service... go ahead and build one.

Isn't that caller eBay?

Not to mention the creation of a single point of failure for a critical service...

Would it be possible to install duckdb extensions in python using packages instead of dialing back home to the extension service? Lots of companies block direct connections to that service but allow packages via JFrog's Artifactory.

Interestingly this is better in terms of precision but as an interface for math is still behind good old paper and pencil.

The interface is still 30+ years old...

With Draw.io embedding Mermaid diagrams and plug-ins available for VSCode and other IDEs, why is this so special?

And they still have soldered RAM and no option to add an SSD... who is this for?

This story is missing the impact that Tom Lord's TLA had on the git design.
