aranke··on Tracking developer build times to decide if the M3 MacBook is worth upgrading
Hi,

Thanks for the detailed analysis. I’m wondering if you factored in the cost of engineering time invested in this analysis, and how that affects the payback time (if at all).

Thanks!

aranke··on E-ink is so Retropunk
Is it possible to make a black or silver frame (ideally with thinner bezels)? If so, I'd gladly buy one (wood does not fit in my current theme).
aranke··on Conferences are inadvertently excluding many attendees from foreign countries
I think we'll see a lot more conferences hosted in Dubai/Qatar for exactly this reason.
aranke··on Our Plan for Python 3.13
Right, but to an average developer, organizations look and feel very much like namespaces.

LWN even used namespaces in the title of the article describing the feature, which doesn’t help the confusion: https://lwn.net/Articles/930509/

aranke··on Our Plan for Python 3.13
We distribute a CLI tool (dbt), so we’re migrating to distributing using the following mechanisms:

1. curl script that installs dbt for end users

2. zipped snapshots for dbt Cloud, the SaaS hosted version of dbt

Eventually we want to create Docker images from 2, but we’re not there yet.

aranke··on Our Plan for Python 3.13
I gave a talk about this at the Packaging Summit during Pycon which was well received, so the team is definitely aware of the problem.

However, the sense I got was that it was going to be a lot of work to “fix Python packaging” which wasn't feasible with an all-volunteer group.

At work, we're migrating away from pip as a distribution mechanism for this reason; I don't expect to see meaningful improvements to the developer experience anytime soon.

This is especially true because pip today is roughly where npm was in 2015, so there's a lot of fundamental infrastructure work (including security) that still needs to happen. An example of this is that PyPI just got the ability to namespace packages.

aranke··on Show HN: Meltano Cloud (GitLab spinout) – Managed infra for open source ELT
Hi Douwe, Taylor, and team!

Congratulations on the launch, looks exciting!

I'm curious if you're planning to turn Meltano Cloud into a managed ELT solution.

The FAQ at the bottom of the pricing page[1] describes Meltano Cloud as an EL solution, but the docs for open-source Meltano[2] highlight that it's an ELT tool.

aranke··on Why I Left Rust
Can we avoid using a gun analogy here?

Nobody involved has died.

aranke··on Ask HN: I have 176 logins/accounts. How many do you have?
203 according to 1password, but I archive the ones I don't need roughly every year.
aranke··on D1: Improvements to performance and scalability
From https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23290512:

> DuckDB is indeed a free columnar database system, but it is not entirely built on top of SQLite. It exposes the same front-end and uses components of SQLite (the shell and testing infrastructure), but the execution engine/storage code is new.

aranke··on D1: Improvements to performance and scalability
Curious if you prototyped DuckDB before deciding to invest further into SQLite.

DuckDB works great as an in-memory database (it's also the default mode).

aranke··on Tufte CSS
I’ve had good luck integrating with Astro.JS (https://astro.build/), good luck!

My website is in my bio, happy to chat if you want to do something similar.

aranke··on Tufte CSS
Yup, I found latex.css (https://latex.vercel.app/) has a better layout but worse typography so a hybrid is the best of both worlds.

If anyone wants to use this for their website, I found the best luck in adopting the layout from https://latex.vercel.app/ and overriding typography with Tufte CSS.

My 80% finished website is in my bio if you’re interested.
