Not about tech this time: I recently donated some of my stem cells to a patient with blood cancer, who I don't know, somewhere in the world. You too can register yourself to save a life: NL= USA= and Google for other countries

Today I finally tried out the new "Instant SQL" feature that @hamiltonulmer has been teasing for months. The immediate feedback really feels like MAGIC. For more fancy GIFs check out todays release blogpost: Be sure to try it out, you won't wanna go back

I've been bashing DuckDB and Postgres together for the past three months. It has been very challenging, but also extremely fun. There's sooo much more to do. But it's already extremely fast for some queries. So here's a v0.1.0 release. Try it out and please report any bugs.

Postgres analytics 10x faster with just an extension?!. Check out our first release of pg_duckdb, an open-source PostgreSQL extension by @hydradatabase & MotherDuck. It's already packed with awesome features! 👀.

There's about a 1 in 50000 chance that your genetics match with the patient in such a way that you can be a donor. I signed up ~8 years ago and suddenly heard back a while ago. But that does mean that they need many people to sign up to be able to help all patients.

Who says duck and elephant DNA just don't splice? We're helping put DuckDB in Postgres as an open source project owned by DuckDB Foundation.

Finally the side-project I created ~8.5 years ago to auto-generate boring code has reached version 1.0.0 With 150k+ repos using one of the previous versions I'm happy to be helping lazy devs like myself everywhere. #derive_more #rustlang.
