I wanted to try tauri out, but i couldn't get the nix dev shell for it working. My suspicion was that they do something too magical with the build process.

My launcher of last 8years: Lawndesk. It's not on play store and you have to download it from github, but it is the only no-nonsens launcher on android without a drawer.

I just want a grid of apps, each of which appears exactly once. And then folders, to keep things on known locations

Nice. My gripe with designer apps is that they are online first. I'd want to save designs to files, close to other files of the project. I'd want to open each file in their own window, not in browser tabs.

I am the author of the Blog. I wanted to share the journey as part of analysis. Blog is not on precedence between || and + but primarily highlight fact that implicit casting cause it to change in Oracle. Ideally precedence is same in both engines.

Sorry for being dismissive. I've written a post [1] that highlights the core discrepancy between the two dialects. I like criticizing SQL and having a documented case like this is nice.

This is a really long article for saying "precedence between || and + is different between PostgreSQL and Oracle SQL".

Hello, I'm Aljaž and I like working on databases and programming languages. I strive to develop reliable, performant software, while being pedantic about type safety and clean architecture.

A good idea in theory. When I was at uni, i designed a protocol for that, with the vision of having individual stores, "commerce article aggregators", and user apps that can query either stores directly or aggregators, all using the same interface, same user preferences and filters.

This is very similar to what I'm building: https://lutra-lang.org

The base premise is the same: SQL is not a proper programming language and everyone knows it only because they have to. And I feel like everyone who knows SQL enough admits that, but still none of the 20+ attempts of a better language stuck on.

As someone would say: sad.

SQL was also initially built for end users and not considered "code".

I'm not sure we should continue to stack supposedly simple languages one on top of the other for ever. Why not learn SQL instead?

aerzen · a month ago
Because we already have databases we have to query and they speak only a dialect of SQL. If there were a lower-level machine-friendly instruction set for databases, it should target that.
