Poor man's bitemporal data system in SQLite and Clojure

news.ycombinator.com Aditya Athalye 2025-10-18 22:47:50

On trying to mash up SQLite with ideas stolen from Accountants, Clojure, Datomic, XTDB, Rama, and Local-first-ers, to satisfy Henderson's Tenth Law. Viz., to make a sufficiently complicated data system containing an ad-hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of a bitemporal database. Because? Because laying about on a hammock, contemplating hopelessly complected objects like Current Databases isn't just for the Rich man. Don't try this at work! The "Poor Man's Bitemp

‘Unidentified Floating Object’ Causes Confusion off Swedish Coast

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-10-18 22:05:47

Well, here’s something you don’t find floating in the water every day: a giant piece of metal from an offshore wind turbine. The Swedish coast guard recently identified the so-called UFO—and it’s the second rogue object spotted within a month. Last week, the Swedish Coast Guard received a tip about a mysterious UFO, in this case an “unidentified floating object,” bobbing up and down near the country’s border with Norway. The Marine Corps and the Smögen Sea Rescue Company expressed their concern

Why the US government is taking a stake in Intel

techcrunch.com Rebecca Szkutak 2025-10-18 22:22:36

The Trump administration wants the United States to be the dominant force when it comes to artificial intelligence, and one way the administration hopes to achieve primacy is by bringing semiconductor manufacturing back to the U.S. To help with that transition, President Donald Trump has introduced potential chip tariffs and policies in recent months meant to bring more semiconductor manufacturing stateside. In late August, the Trump administration took an unprecedented step toward that goal w

Warp Code: the fastest way from prompt to production

The primary use case here is small edits to agent-generated code – because sometimes a hand-edit is faster than re-prompting; like when you just want to change a variable name, edit a bit of copy, or rewrite a small function. We also shipped a simple file tree for browsing, opening, and adding files as context, as well as file opening and creation using the file palette (cmd-O).

When I moved in with my wife Laura in 2005, we lived in a shared apartment in Barcelona that had an ancient washing machine that was just there already, no idea who initially bought it. I managed to break the washing machine door's closing mechanism some time in 2006, so for a few weeks, whenever we did the washing, we had to lean a chair against the door so it wouldn't open. At the time, we were both students and living on a small budget. Eventually, later in the same year, we bought an Electr
