I personally like Logseq

I think the actual use cases for graph DBS provide a better paradigm than relational DBS are very few. That said, RDF and some of the related standards are extremely helpful and information management. As a general application back end, I'd be hard-pressed to give you examples where graph is better.

I think that is an interesting finding, and it doesn't surprise me! When I worked on a graph application, I ended up compiling graph queries down to relational queries on Postgres, and it (mostly) worked great!

I think there are a few great use cases, but most of them are not compelling enough to warrant learning a new paradigm. In most cases, it's probably enough to hard-code a few recursive CTEs into your application.

This is the far-right vote siphon we didn't know we needed.

I'm struggling to see what the incentive is for either of them, especially since they have both recently launched Iceberg support. The only way I'd see it happening is if one of them acquired MotherDuck.

oooOOOOoo. I've been waiting for something like this ever since starting out with JJ (which, admittedly, was only about a week ago 😆)!

I'm definitely getting used to the "branchless" workflow, and I haven't tried anything fancy with it, but I agree that the basics are nice and easy!

That is good confirmation that jj has hit on a pretty nice model if it works great on small projects and (at least a similar model) also works well for large enterprises.

I have gotten so far behind on the reading that I only joined once, but it was a blast! Maybe, just *maybe* I can get caught up over the next 2 weeks.

"I love this. Memory may not be the heart of what makes us human, but it’s at least a vital organ. Nevertheless, we must take care not to let the bliss of the present fade when compared to supposedly better days. We’re happy, sure, but were we more happy then?"

"Painful or passionate, surreal or sublime, we cherish those little rocks of peak experience, polishing them with the ever-smoothing touch of recycled proxy living. In so doing—like pagans praying to a sculpted mud figure—we make of our memories the gods which judge our current lives."

I may not agree with her ideologically, but I think she is actually a good judge, and I am pleasantly surprised after assuming she'd be another Thomas.

I'd never heard of it (but I love the name). I just took a peek at the website, and I'm pretty sure this is exactly what I need!

I've never done any hardware design except for super minor tinkering with ham radio, but I shudder to think what AI could come up with!

I use DuckDuck Go, and it's definitely not as good as pre-AI Google, but it's better than the AI slop that is Google search today.

I feel like this is just reality with the passage of each year.
