The architecture is sound - typically called ELT these days. Dump contents of upstream straight into a database and apply stateless and deterministic operations to achieve the fina…

Looks like the classic mistake of every data team. Every single office person works with data in one way or another. Having a team called 'data' just opens a blanch check for anyon…

In post Czechoslovakia if you moved out of your hometown, you lost valuable networks. Healthcare and childcare were always connection based - you needed to know the local doctor, t…

This style is familiar to those writing dataframe logic in df libraries with sql semantics - spark, polars or duckdb relational ( https://duckdb.org/docs/api/python/relational_api.…

What do you need non-columnar layout for? Do you expect thousands of concurrent single row writes at a time? If you use embedded duckdb on the client, unless the person goes crazy …

Does anybody know what is the relation between SQL as SEQUEL and then the competing language QUEL from Ingres db? It always looked to me as if somebody back then in the database wa…

Two people already form a 'company' and the hard part of convincing somebody else of your idea has already been accomplished. You can argue growing from 1 person to 2 is the most c…

Another trick is to search the book title on youtube. There is a fair chance the author wants to promote the book and delivers the entire message in one hour speech in their own wo…

Google made terrible mistakes with their main cash cow of search. They removed the important feature to search only forums, ie. human generated content, and promoted SEO spam to th…

You need to have a vision, then measure time of being blocked. If you're blocked, you're not progressing towards the vision. If you have a team of sufficiently competent people, yo…

Who is the rightful owner of a name or similarly, a piece of land, or an idea, patent? The first settler? The first settler that held it for at least a year, 10 or 100? The most po…

They said the same about Galileo. 99% of the time you'll be correct labeling people as conspiracy theorists with the blanket rule - any time they are not mainstream approved. You'l…
