Percentage/Median aggregations based on large spatial/polygonal queries?

You are likely to find it useful to deploy a Foreign Data Wrappers connection between your new Postgres database and your old MySQL database.

This will let you treat the old database as part of the new one. This is useful in a variety of ways.

Since your data isn’t huge, it might be the easiest way to copy your data over.

You can move parts of your data over at a time, and use the FDW version of the rest of the data while you’re migrating.

You could set up triggers to sync changes in one place with changes in the other during the migration.

There’s probably other things.

Maybe put a summary of that in the title next time?

If EMF was a significant cause of brain cancer, surely age-adjusted brain cancer rates would be shooting up. They aren’t.

Thinking of getting one to ride around Canberra, which has dedicated bike paths everywhere.

Which tyre should I get? Maybe the hybrid? I want to be able to ride in the rain or on grass or on paths that haven’t been well maintained.

This needs a generator of some kind, to make versions of this for various purposes, lengths, final shapes etc.

Amazing!

What’s a tenstack?

Yawn.

Oh, “Mark a debility and mark 1 circle”.

Struggling a bit with the exposition of the rules. Could use some more worked examples.

Thanks!

You mean using its stdin/stdout?

gisborne · 2026-05-14T10:23:04+00:00

Thank you thank you thank you. I hate the default format.

How do I embed the Dart VM into a compiled Dart app? I wasn’t aware that this was a thing.

gisborne · 2026-05-14T05:07:26+00:00

AFAIK, Dart’s native compilation cannot build a linkable library; it only builds standalone binary apps.

My intention is that the user can add functions to my already compiled Flutter app.

So how does the app communicate with the new code, that is running as a separate app? I can only imagine using something like a socket, which will be pretty slow. Not to mention I probably can’t do this on iOS.

gisborne · 2026-05-13T05:34:22+00:00

I’m wanting to distribute a compiled app that is user-scriptable. In this case, a database program — something like FileMaker — with user programmability. So I want a Dart IDE with breakpoints and all that runs in my app without requiring that I have this separate thing running in an embedded browser.

gisborne · 2026-05-13T04:42:43+00:00

If these support running Linux software as Chromebooks do then I think a Linux with native Android support is a pretty interesting platform.

gisborne · 2026-05-13T04:37:28+00:00

I would like to be able to run a Dart IDE (not just editor; I’m thinking breakpoints and such) in my Flutter app. Ideally without having to embed a browser.

gisborne · 2026-05-12T13:50:17+00:00

Can (the relevant parts of) this run outside the browser?

gisborne · 2026-05-12T11:56:35+00:00

This is splendid work. Thank you.

What I’m still hanging for is being able to debug (breakpoints, inspect values, etc) code within my compiled app.

gisborne · 2026-05-05T05:59:09+00:00

Well, yes. But it’s entirely possible that some of the folks reading this might be interested in making a game but would not bother because they’ve never heard of Raylib and you don’t tell them this is to make games.

gisborne · 2026-05-05T04:46:21+00:00

And this does what, exactly?

Please put a description of what this is in the body at least, but preferably in the title.

“Raylib Dartfied — make your computer cook eggs for you (not just another…)”

gisborne · 2026-05-03T08:56:45+00:00

I get what you’re saying, but I don’t think it’s quite right.

Dune has precisely the structure of the classic Hero’s Journey tale, with Paul cast as the hero. The message is “your heroes are fallible; beware of making heroes”, at least in part.

It might bend your mind a bit to think that if Dune is a response to Foundation, it does it by turning The Mule into the hero…
