Compositional Datalog on SQL: Relational Algebra of the Environment

SQLite and DuckDB are a pretty great one-two punch. A new twist on how to do this occurred to me that seems very clean compared to my previous methods. Basically, the relational algebra style of SQL actually meshes with manipulating the Datalog body environments (sets of named variables bindings)

Scammers Will Try to Trick You Into Filling Out Google Forms. Don’t Fall for It

wired.com David Nield 2025-10-24 11:30:00

One of the lesser-known apps in the Google Drive online suite is Google Forms. It's an easy, intuitive way to create a web form for other people to enter information into. You can use it for employee surveys, for organizing social gatherings, for giving people a way to contact you, and much more. But Google Forms can also be used for malicious purposes. These forms can be created in minutes, with clean and clear formatting, official-looking images and video, and—most importantly of all—a genuin
