The benefit of StarRocks/ClickHouse over Trino is that you get secondary indices, but that means you have to do the indexing somehow. Native format is faster (especially for colocated joins), but it's way more expensive if you hav

I'm very curious about the convergence of the best in class fast OLAP products (StarRocks, ClickHouse) with Trino. It sounds like everybody is going for decoupled compute/storage, using S3 or similar as the storage layer, and thus

Apparently engineers are running out of tokens with our mediocre token budget, and there is talk of trying to run local LLMs. Meanwhile execs get unlimited tokens... And here I am, only automating the most mundane and boring stuff so I can

They used to care about developers. Peak cocoa and uikit was a thing of beauty and objc remains my favorite programming language of all time. When Swift came along i tried and was dissapointed and then a decade later i gave it another whirl

Any reason SpaceX cannot just build a giant solar shade at L1? This seems fairly doable on the decade timescale, plus it could do double duty as a weapon.

I hate Java and would still choose it for all sorts of distributed systems work. It has fantastic tooling and is robust, performant and well understood.

It's called having a tailor, and it is expensive (in the US)

Yeah, no. If you are digging deep into database internals, query optimization and schema design, it helps to have someone with some experience in the domain. Otherwise your team will spend a few years learning from first principles.

Bullshit i cant hear you. Commcercial airliners are sold at a loss and are basically giant jobs programs. Modern jetliners are enormously efficient already; there has been a continuous race over the last century to this end.

They have a much biglier support vessel this time, almost 300ft long IIRC. So maybe they can recover it?
