> Back to topic. In Russia it is believed that after taking Berlin soldiers should have fought Allies. That's liberation war for you. And they were not the only ones: https://en.wi…

Yandex ClickHouse also should be on the list!

No pricing and no self-hosting option (either/or would be fine of course). A pretty neat tool for hobbies, maybe...

MongoDB is not well suited for OLAP-style workloads - have you considered Yandex ClickHouse?

404 not found at the moment - does anyone has a snapshot? edit: nevermind, it is available again - weird

To be fair, Spark is way too slow to be used as a back-end database system (there's a big bap between "lightning speed computation", as they put them, and a common workload for a d…

Honestly I don't know, I do not work for Thoughtspot. My assumption is that it works on metadata coming from a relational schema with a rule parser on top. Honestly I don't see how…

Kind of goes in the direction of what Thoughtspot ( https://www.thoughtspot.com/ ) is doing ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-y_EjFsDuk )

I have tried it ~1 month ago and was quite a bit underwhelmed - direct connectivity with Google products is nice, but the data manipulation capabilities themselves lag behind Table…

What about Selenium? Is it already covered in point 2?

"I'll tell you now, kid, it was all so much better when I was your age!" There, I've saved you from reading the article.

I've recently switched from a Windows Phone back to an Android one, and from my experience WP keyboard suggestions are usually more on point compared to the Android ones. Only thin…

Wrecking any hope of retrocompatibility considered harmful (who could have known?)

Stay classy!

Ambiguity clickbait is the best clickbait :-)

That would be like estimating the world population to be 1B instead of 7B, though...

Nothing, really (if it works for you!). It's just extremely far removed from the usual way pizza is consumed in Italy. I'm usually annoyed by the many culinary debates we like to h…

I think I might have met a few, as I am Italian myself :-) To be honest the story would be much more believable if the writer weren't a foreigner - that kind of reaction from the s…

I can't quite imagine anyone (Italian pizzaiolo or otherwise) getting so worked up over a pizza order. I think the situation described in the piece was either much friendlier than …
