Congrats on launching Fireproof! You mentioned syncing content-addressed encrypted files via S3 or Cloudflare. For developers already using existing cloud-first setups, how seamless is it to integrate Fireproof as a hybrid solution?

about 2 years give or take. but there's a lot more than the surface shows:

* live collab * own parser, interpreter, computer, language

if you are building something similar happy to jump and tell you more! always keen on helping others! good luck

Hey! I'm Nuno a co-founder at Decipad.

Appreciate the input. We actually have two former founders of similar products working in our team. Would love to know what you think of Decipad after using it. Grid is a terrific company. None of the "competitors" in the space made it, but surely one will. Hopefully many of them, us included. I agree -- it's really hard to build a product that defines a new category. But that's what motivates us.

Let me know if you do try it, would be super curious to see the feedback.

I know there's a big community of startup founders over here, wondering if anyone got any feedback or if I got any calculations wrong?

Maybe it helps someone too!!

Me and the Decipad team have been following fugue for a while - would love a chat

I’m Nuno, co-founder at Decipad, and we’re constantly trying to reimagine the spreadsheet.

Today, making decisions and communicating with numbers is still really hard. It’s hard to learn Excel, and even once you’ve mastered it, it still has it’s drawbacks… These are some pain points from spreadsheet users we’re trying to address…

1. Giving context to numbers. Being able to differentiate easily between meters and feet, to avoid errors. 2. Quickly organise and showcase data that matters. 3. Quickly publish models that look great.

Recently, we just launched Data Views! It’s similar to pivot tables, but you can easily reuse data throughout your notebook. All you need to do is drag and drop. We’re really excited because it’s a way to organise and visualise your data in seconds. And, you don’t need to use any formulas.

Don’t get me wrong — this is not to say that we think spreadsheets are bad. In fact, quite the opposite: they’re essential. But, spreadsheets force models through a visual grid. They obscure data relationships in formulas hidden behind cells, are prone to breaking, and are not very elegant looking.

If you could reimagine a spreadsheet, what would you change?

Our goal is to make it powerful enough to support a range of modeling and calculation needs, from a financial modeling to building a recipe (e.g. https://dev.decipad.com/n/The-Saturday-White-Bread%3A9JQMbgK...)! We wrote our formula language to support a broad range of modeling use cases. We’re currently testing that language with a small group. Is there any particular use case you would be interested in using a more powerful formula language for?

Would love to know more. Learning prolog at uni was quite the experience, but don't really know how that could be used in our language. Happy to chat, join discord and we can talk about it. Here’s the link - https://discord.com/invite/HwDMqwbGmc

Hi Everyone! I’m a co-founder at Decipad. Love the support and excitement for what we’re building! We’re currently collaborating with a small group of early access users. Come say hi on Discord. We will be sharing more soon. And, if you have a certain modeling use case in mind, we would love to learn more about it.

Yes, it's a community lead conference!

I'm sorry but I disagree. The reason why you have so many people don't know anything about node&js is because of aggressive marketing & a referral plan.

It's what happens when you sell tickets to companies, for a price that is too high, and incentivize people to sell to their friends for some bounty you offer.

This isn't necessarily wrong, but trying to mask it as a "good thing" is naive at best.

ps. From an actual email sent to me from someone I have no idea who it is:

"unlimited TLDs as long as they're three letters"

So unlimited permutations of [a-z]?

Sure that makes sense....

I agree. When I did it in jsconf I changed the wording a bit, cause it sounded a bit odd and it didn't convey exactly what I wanted :) Still if that's all of your nitpick I can live with that!

For those asking this is the personal page of Fedor Indutny, node.js core contributor and one of the makers at nodejitsu.

You can check the code for the app at - https://github.com/indutny/home.

If you feel like giving node a try this page will get you a nodejitsu invite: - http://gimmesomebeta.jit.su

This is obviously missing nodeup:

* Got all the core team members talking about where nodejs is going * Does live events with 150 people nerding out and drinking beer.

It's an obvious miss.

are you saying restify doesn't allow piping?

because you are too lazy to START a startup? :)

socket puppet #123! :D

Been looking forward for this book for a while. Exciting stuff. Thanks

yup, I'm the author of the library and use nano quite frequently for small edits.

nano has no executable parts so this is perfectly ok.

People who are interested in smalldata check smalldata.org and #smalldata on freenode

I don't care about it. Facebook is fine for my family to talk to me and see pictures. I don't use anything else on it.

As for social tools twitter is ok.

Now can we have github replace twitter and have that timeline do something for us devs - now that would be awesome

Very well written article summarizing some discussions that are apparently common in the erlang community.

Funny!

You can try MarkLogic Server. We have a free edition that will cover what you need and Office toolkits that are really cool (so you can work directly in the excel sheets)

Is that a question?

( if you always wanted to be part of the database revolution, and you had enough with tables and rows )

The objective of jsonx is: 1) a loss-less representation of json in xml so it can be reused with xml tools. In a sense it's the reverse of jsonml.org.

jsonx is not (neither it is meant to be): - a replacement for json - a format that enables you to query json in a xml database - a standard (I would remember if I was part of a standard comity, although I do recall playing bullshit bingo in some of these meetings)

I think the use case for jsonx is extremely small: maybe exclusively related to transmitting json over the wire in hardware that is specialized for xml processing. Having worked in it I argued many times that it is not even a queryable format, which makes it less usable even in "xml world". ( for a queryable format example you can check isubiker/mljson@github )

If you are not trying to achieve 1) you can/should simply disregard jsonx. That's certainly what I do: It's completely irrelevant for me and even thought I worked on it I never used it in any of my projects. Why should I? You can't query that crap for the heck of it.

About saying crap about IBM: That's just plain stupid. The fact that you can't understand something simply means you can't understand it and not that it is of no value. "all I know is that I know nothing." - Socrates, supposed to be smart guy

If anyone is interested been doing this for ages.

wtf?
