For cyber security examples there are real movement in europe - ciphercue is trying to create a directory of alternatives which is gaining traction - https://ciphercue.com/directory/eu

Maybe going beyond cyber alternatives is whats needed

Thats microsofts moat- its legacy applications are just part of peoples lvies

i think things like CDNs should be easier to shift

There are a few mailbox.org and tuta.com are both in Germany.

I havent used either but their website leads me to believe they are similar experiences

i’m working on instantrows, basically trying to kill the pain of dealing with csv/json/excel/parquet exports when all you really want is to join them together, do some quick aggregations, and share the result without begging a data engineer or spinning up a whole warehouse. excel breaks, bi tools are overkill, emailing final_v2.csv is a nightmare. the idea is a browser based, no download tool where you drop files in, it just works, and you get a live link you can send around. curious if anyone else here runs into this every week and what hacks you use today.

Wow, big fan of duckdb and this is a great step forward.

Even taking of the language filter you only get 5 results for a very common function!

I have done this as well. I once got an travel insurance claim rejected by some outsourced handler and found out who the CEO of the insurance startup was. I emailed him and magically it got resolved

I've been working on an exciting project called DataSignal, where I'm developing a sophisticated Named Entity Recognition (NER) and enrichment system. This system is designed to identify and extract key entities from blocks of text, such as names, locations, or organizations, and then provide rich contextual information about them. The goal is to transform raw text into meaningful data that users can easily understand and leverage in various applications.

The real magic of DataSignal lies in how it delivers this contextual information. It can be seamlessly integrated into your workflow through a browser plugin, which instantly highlights and explains entities as you browse the web. For developers, DataSignal can be embedded directly into a webpage via JavaScript, enhancing the content on the page with dynamic insights. Additionally, it offers a REST API, allowing for flexible and customizable integration into other software systems.

Whether you're a developer looking to enhance your application with smart text analysis or someone who wants to streamline research and data gathering, DataSignal is poised to bring a new level of insight and efficiency to text analysis. This project aims to make complex data more accessible and actionable, transforming how we interact with and interpret information.

I recently expanded a project that allows for easy benchmarking of local language models, specifically for Named Entity Recognition (NER) tasks. By using a simple JSON configuration, you can now evaluate and compare the performance of different models installed through Ollama without the need for extensive coding.

The idea is to make it easier for developers and data scientists to test various models and see how they perform on specific tasks, all within a streamlined framework.

If you're interested in learning more about the approach and trying it out, you can check out the full details in my blog post: Creating a JSON Framework to Test Local Language Models for NER — https://datasignal.uk/blog/ner-framework.html

The code is open source and available on GitHub: NER-llm-blog Repo — https://github.com/DataSignalOrg/NER-llm-blog/tree/master

I’d love to hear your thoughts or suggestions for improvements!

only one remote role?

can you build a website nowadays with analytics without using cookies? or violating GDPR?

Agreed- I worked at a company a few years back that build on a product using postgrest and an angular frontend for everything with nothing in between- which felt wrong as well

Its not UK- its Great Britain- Doesnt include northern ireland data

I was working full time in mcdonalds and when the facebook API launched in 2009ish created a few blog posts integrating the API to php and codeignter.

This lead to picking up a few projects from agency which led to a full time job and the rest is history.

not as simple as from 'a.csv' and 10 years without recursive CTES?

does chdb have support for recursive CTES?

It and the ability to do `from 'https://example.com/.csv` is why i love duckdb

why would you use this over duckdb?

I seen him speak in ireland twice in the past 20 years so i assume he got here by plane

i work in ecommerce and we have a conditional for the order of the fields based on the delivery country the user checking out

i remember phil libin saying he wanted to build a 100 year company

I was going to mention pgtap as i had used it in a previous role and it works but its cumbersome. I was hoping for a better solution by reading the comments

Scaling things- i love hacking away at my own ideas and my own little projects that only I will use.

The requirements to make things scale- Being part of a team with procedures and processes kills the fun for me.

i worked in a startup who where inexperienced and tried to save costs by using taiga.

Once experienced people joined the team we switched to jira.

he's probably been given the pay but not the time to find his feet

mechanical watches fascinate me, i joined /r/seikomods and assmbled one form parts i found of ebay.

I don’t even use spaces in csv column names

this is fantastic- do you get an affiliate fee?

i'm looking a new phone and total cost of ownership might swing buying it through this site

where do you source the deals? is there an api?

Amen

I built my daughter a rocking horse- any woodworker or trades person looking at closely would chuck it in the bin as the joins are slightly off and the seat isnt symetrical but when i posted a photo of it on instagram or showed it to anyone- my friends where sharing it and people where commenting on it saying wow asking could i build one for them

whats the underlying storage engine? tech stack?
