Re:Datasette is my data hammer on Wednesday January 18, 2023 @05:15AM (#34425146)

Datasette is such a neat project & tool. Simon, its developer, has built an entire ecosystem of tools around sqlite [1], Datasette [2], and automation through GH Actions, like git-scraping [3]. Also, he has been actively blogging for 20+ years [4]. I particularly enjoy his short TIL posts [5].

Re:Does the world have enough lithium to move to electric vehicles? on Thursday January 05, 2023 @09:25AM (#34259930)

If you have a spare 17 minutes, this great, informative video by Wendover Productions [1] goes more in-depth about the various problems with Lithium-ion batteries.

Bartosz' blog posts are in a league of their own.

They way he is able to explain complex subjects by starting from first principles, gently adding more and more layers, with beautiful, custom-made figures and animations is truly, literally, awesome.

I strongly recommend supporting the author via his Patreon if you enjoy his blog posts.
