Seriously, what the fuck is this. This is completely deranged, and anyone who can’t say so is a coward.

When you do a livestream on halloween, of course it must be done in costume. Hopefully the people who watch the recording later on don't think the anglerfish was just a metaphor for MotherDuck customer acquisition techniques.

You're on the last flight out, gets delayed for two hours and then cancelled. You notice there is a place called "Artichoke Joe's Casino" in walking distance of the airport. Stay up all night playing Pai Gow or risk it on an airport hotel?

A DuckLake reader for PySpark in ~30 lines of code. Despite looking simple, still partitions work across Spark nodes. Zero external dependencies, just the DuckDB JDBC driver. Try that with your favorite lakehouse technology :-)

Yesterday DuckDB Labs announced DuckLake, a new Open data and catalog format. Here is a bit about why it is so awesome, how it solves some key problems with existing technologies, and why we're excited to host it in the cloud at MotherDuck.

Today we're launching DuckLake, an integrated data lake and catalog format powered by SQL. DuckLake unlocks next-generation data warehousing where compute is local, consistency central, and storage scales till infinity. ⁠ducklake is an open standard and we implemented it in the "ducklake" extension.

🚢 just shipped in the MotherDuck UI: Table Summary Click a table/view in your catalogs to see column distributions, top values, & null %s. Plus an easy way to peek at actual rows when you need that security blanket. An easy way to build intuition about your tables w/o having to write SQL!

Someone suggested we should have a "quack" sound play in the office when a new paying customer signed up for MotherDuck. I thought, that would be fun to do... I can learn how to use a Raspberry Pi and use MotherDuck in hybrid mode at the same time. motherduck.com/blog/duckdb-...
