Looks like development of DeltaDB has been discontinued.

$3k is barely getting started. Literally barely getting started.

But you love it anyway

This is a really cool idea!

Re:Lockheed CEO Pitches Pentagon on Subscription Software on Friday October 06, 2023 @03:00AM (#37787906)
It's because investors and the stock market love regular subscription revenue. Companies with subscription revenue get much higher stock valuations.

Simon, I opened an issue on your TIL repo with the pip incantation that I think will get the GPU working.

https://github.com/simonw/til/issues/69

I ran into that previously

I do the exact same thing. I just cancelled YouTube TV. I'll probably get it again in the fall
Last time I visited Disneyland with my kids, there was a sign by the entrance that Disneyland causes cancer.

Ok, it said something to the effect that there were substances on the premises known to the State of California that cause cancer. But the end result is that it was not clear WHAT was there that causes cancer, so it basically says Disneyland causes cancer.

Re:The i3-gaps project has been merged with i3 on Saturday January 07, 2023 @06:40PM (#34294284)
Or use Regolith Linux. They've done a fantastic job integrating i3 with Ubuntu, including settings, etc
Re:Firefox on Ubuntu 22.04 from .deb (not from snap) on Saturday April 23, 2022 @07:02PM (#31139519)
I know. This screwed me over. I had an lxd cluster that was working very nicely. Then 1 of the 5 cluster members failed to upgrade when snap forced an upgrade and it put the whole cluster in a degraded state.
Re:Regolith Linux on Sunday April 03, 2022 @10:38AM (#30897250)
I've been using i3 daily for about 8 years. I've been using regolith for the last 2 or 3 years because they've integrated everything so nicely with the Ubuntu ecosystem.

I actually thought it did say "Nutshell" when I read the title. When I clicked through to the actual page and saw it was "Nushell" I came back here to verify. :)
Re:Microsoft Access: The Database Software That Won't Die on Wednesday October 30, 2019 @08:21PM (#21404494)
At a previous job an operations analyst built out an Access database because our IT group never got around to helping him build something more robust. It actually worked pretty well.

Once we started getting to scaling issues we imported all the tables into MySQL and had Access use the remote tables that existed in MySQL.

This worked really well. All the forms and various things were in Access and the tables in MySQL and this scaled out pretty well to many 10s of users.

A nice side benefit is that I was able to reuse a lot of that data in an internal web application.

Isn't this just Accounting 101?

I'm a little surprised they didn't use double entry accounting from the beginning.

Re:Google – My Activity on Thursday May 30, 2019 @11:43AM (#20052346)
I'm not the most tin foil hat kind of person. I don't mind some of the tracking Google does as long as I know about it.

This url shocked me.

They apparently track every app I open and use on my Pixel phone. They had individual entries for when I skip a song in Google Music. I feel physically sick. I went through and deleted most of what I could and turned off tracking where I could.

My favorite quote from the article:

"Remember, S in IoT stands for Security."
