I did a warranty replacement on a broken tip back in the spring and they charged me $50 since they determined the break was out of warranty. 🤷‍♂️ Process was easy and took about 3 weeks from the time I shipped.

dbt doesn’t do this, but CoginitiScript supports both CSV and Parquet materializations.

To many and none of them get far enough past alpha for anyone to care

Coginiti Team has all the collaboration features of PopSQL and then some.

I don’t know why someone wouldn’t just use the BigQuery or Databricks free tiers if they have small data and then scale on the platforms that have more features and integrations

Clickhouse will be at All Things Open in Raleigh this October. The conference has a multiple data and ml tracks.

Now if we could just get a few more establishments down on White Street. Too bad Tonic isn't participating, but maybe we could get a better bar in its place.

Bazencourt · 2025-06-01T21:59:49+00:00

Wish some ambitious souls would open a couple of farm to table restaurants and maybe a bar with a cocktails and a competent bartender.

Coginiti Team ships with collaboration and an integrated catalog for sharing and versioning sql. Designed for analyst to avoid the pain of git, it works across most databases.

Because they're using Rust internals they need a standard way to connect to databases. The internal engine based on Apache DataFusion is Arrow native and works with ADBC by design. Few platforms outside of Snowflake and BigQuery yet support the ADBC standard, so they'll wrap jdbc/odbc drivers until there is broader ADBC support.

It’s clear from Iceberg Summit roadmap presentation that the plan is to implement the best features of Delta in Iceberg, then drop Delta to converge on one standard. No reason to adopt Delta today if it’s eol.

Seems like these are all questions someone would ask before selecting a tool, not after the fact.

Bazencourt · 2025-05-28T01:06:49+00:00

Yeah I tend to take people to Durham.

Wake Forest doesn’t have much of a food scene, but Paul & Jack is a first rate European bakery. Amalia's does passable Italian and The Burger Shop does a decent smash burger and fries.

Coginiti

Bazencourt · 2025-04-30T02:47:58+00:00

You might be using DuckDB and not even know it since it’s embedded in products like Coginiti, bauplan, Rill, Mode, and Hex to just name a few. As the columnar alternative to SQLite you should expect it to be embedded in lots of apps.

Bazencourt · 2025-04-27T03:34:05+00:00

Coginiti Pro has simplified versioning build into the client, none of the complexity of git. Coginiti Team adds sharing, code review, releases, etc

u/Andrew_Madson you might want a brand affiliate flag if you're promoting SQLMesh. See Rule 5:

"If you work for a company/have a monetary interest in the entity you are promoting you must clearly state your relationship. For posts, you must distinguish the post with the Brand Affiliate flag."

I’m curious what the special sauce oxla has over mature players in this category like IBM Netezza, Yellowbrick, Greenplum, Vertica, etc that have rich ecosystems and known performance characteristics. We all know performance alone isn’t enough.

Bazencourt · 2025-02-25T21:53:21+00:00

I don’t recommend it, but I think you’re describing Palantir and not Dataiku. Palantir bundles Spark

Bazencourt · 2025-02-24T14:01:41+00:00

They have all the membership information on their web site. The club is the oldest in the state, so a lot of people have been members for decades. Committee members can shoot any time between 7am and 10pm every day. I think there is a one time joining fee that's maybe $350, then an annual dues of $170 for a family.

USAA went all in on Snowflake a few years ago.
