There’s no good way to play pocket jiggities @bradowen

To be fair they could have done an experiment on a transaction that typically requires a person in the loop. Rather than choosing a vending machine which, already, does not require…

Interesting choice of Pandas in this day and age. Maybe he’s after imparting general concepts that you could apply to any tabular data manipulator rather than selecting for the lat…

The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent.

Agreed, but maybe the step change there is refactoring the data model, not continuing to author “hairy” sql via LLM that’s all fine until it breaks… and you end having to mend the …

What is the human need to bash SQL at all costs? At its core, such a simple syntax, yet its so powerful at aggregating/manipulating tabular data and the like. Instead we’d rather d…

Do you have any data to backup the claim: “vast majority of companies understand suck cost fallacy.” I’m assuming you meant “sunk” not “suck”. Not familiar with the suck fallacy.

So sad. Humans are so smart and yet soooo dumb.

I feel like this is more an example of: “We filtered first instead of reading an entire table from disk and performing a lookup” Where both OLAP and OLTP dbms would benefit. To you…

I love a semantic layer as much as the next guy... Pivoting a decent sized BI shop toward using one instead of splashing the same SQL all over the place is *tough*. It's one of tho…

I always do that when working with a new cloud provider. I spend our Series A as fast as possible after which we can optimize cloud spend!

Another great way to increase your surface area for luck is being born in a first world country with access to a computer. I hear that has a good success rate!

You can “stand up for users and the integrity of the product” without telling someone to SHUT THE FUCK UP

Too many factors to possibly diagnose if “it’s you”, or even if there is something “to fix”. Anecdotally, I desire to hang out with people who share my interests and want to do sim…

Eh it's not that bad, lived in Phoenix for 25 years so I'm used to it... vacation weather for 7 months of the year. Great access to nature. There's always trade-offs no matter wher…

All excellent points. The best is when most workloads on the cluster use a temp table with an identical name. Then someone comes along and accidentally drops the TEMP from the thei…

Steering has gone out twice on a family member’s Model Y. N=1 example but plenty of other companies now make EVs and they do a decent job of it… shedding 29% still leaves the compa…
