[ICYMI:] Why SQL Won 🏁 In this interview with Let's Data Science, #DuckDB co-creator @hannes.muehleisen.org argues that the data industry misdiagnosed SQL’s problems a decade ago. What developers *actually* hated in 2013 was the install, the server and the client protocol, not the language itself:

Cognitive surrender is real: today I saw a bunch of Powerpoint slides, very-obviously generated by AI. I had to ask, how they are going to present this thing, and they just didn't get my question.

I'm so late to this but the Swedish nazi party has discovered further real estate developments in Telefonplan. Considering the prices here, new inhabitants will skew to the more affluent which is a horrible, horrible thing for nazis

Dog whistle from the nazi party. Who inhabits those horrible buildings if not immigrants

Note the high rises in the upper part of the picture. Compared to these, new buildings would have 40++ floors. Quite something for Stockholm

ok, so. estonia is trying to pick candidates for a new president, which means we have entered the traditional phase of the process where nobody is technically running yet but several people are nevertheless being discussed as though they have been summoned for a job interview by the republic

My latest cartoon for @newscientist.com

Panel one: a climber reaches the top of a towering cliff. There, among the clouds, a serene figure with a long beard, wearing a robe, sits crosslegged on the bare rock. He is "The Great Wise One of the Mountain"

Panels two, three and four: sitting serenely crosslegged on successively lower clifftops we see the Assistant Wise One of the Mountain, The Post-Doc Research Fellow of the Mountain and a group of PhD Students of the Mountain

There’s static SQL and dynamic SQL, but in between there’s also SQL that’s “dynamic at parse-time,” known as polymorphic (meaning it can change “shape”.) This talk, run by @kibeha.dk, looks at different ways to achieve this. #POUG2026 last 11 tickets: poug.org/edycja/poug2...
