With apologies to Brooks: show me your datoms and I won’t need your flowcharts. Eventually.

I’m starting to understand the appeal of Datomic, though the “no actual deletions” sounds like both a data versioning/history godsend (who needs Git?) and a GDPR nightmare (how hard is excision?)

terminal split to show Python code examining a Datomic Transit cache file describing a Logseq graph, and the output of that code as a series of dictionaries and a few running tallies

Taking the son-in-law to a card game event thing in Phoenix. Idle chit-chat en route.

He: what fictional restaurant would you most like to eat at?

Me: Well that’s easy. Milliways, the Restaurant at the End of the Universe.

He: I’d want a Big Kahuna burger.

@mhoye @bipolaron in a very similar vein, Marimo could let you write as notebook with widgets for interactivity, publish as HTML + WASM (Python code runs in the browser reducing server requirements), and also make that notebook available as a downloadable Python script.

It’s been filling many of my Jupyter gaps for availability and out of the box functionality.

https://marimo.io/

mostly just that those widgets are part of marimo’s recommended library, so for most of the interactivity I want (scales, charts, uploads) I don’t need to think about plugins.

The working file is also “just” a python script, which is handy but also its big shortcoming compared to Jupyter: no current support for alternate languages.

Have a good day.

If only because it’s the surest way to piss them off.

Too many people in the card game shop and nothing else of interest nearby in this strip mall neighborhood, don’t feel comfortable pulling out my iPad to sketch, so I’ve been hanging out in the parking lot for about three hours now while folks play their new game.

Kinda bored.

I drove something over 220 miles today.

My butt hurts.
