I was thinking this the other day, it is a special type of vendor lock-in.

Bill Bryson's book A Short History of Nearly Everything does a good job of describing it, I'd butcher a paraphrasing. Essentially, feet of ash covering hundreds to thousands of miles. It also highlights that this is been going on

A bit of a reminder that things don't move as fast as we think they might: >Otto just delivered the first self-driving truck shipment. In a few short years, the most common job in what was it, 30 or so states? It'll be all but

I haven't used FDW directly but I would suspect the performance would largely be related to how you can get pushdown and native usage within the source system. Combining data almost must be done on the master node.

> denormalization, while useful for many things, isn't always your best option. From my view, it is generally not a good option for cases it wasn't designed for, an example being non-analytical reporting. If you are running ope

Not sure about everyone else but google is a proxy for other sites now where I can get relevant answers. So I have 2 clicks to the eventual site instead of 1. Similar to using site:www.reddit.com or something similar. I realize that's

I am in the same camp but we're assuming that the capabilities already present in our phones/laptops/TVs are turned off and stay that way.

Gotta disagree, I have personally watched people spend away 2-300k a year for decades. It's easily millions, especially considering the ROI of the markets since the 80s.

The bots on the good camping sites are insane, it's clearly a few people who have figured it out. Some even sell alerting services. Keep in mind, in some places, there aren't any other options, looking at the most commonly watched

If you haven't read it, Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat is a great read. I have cooked for years and it was a short, easy read with lots of applicable tidbits. I recently tried out the Salt methods on a check steak and it is significantly better

I've seen where the tank top is a handwashing station. There is a faucet on top and a small basin in the tank top, when you flush, the inlet is connected to the faucet. You wash and the soap water goes into the tank for use on the next

The most amazing thing about the Mona Lisa to me was the rest of the room. It also wasn't that crowded (2009ish).

It was in the next line: Your brain would literally starve without it. If you do not consume enough carbohydrates in your diet, your body will synthesize the glucose you need.

They were saying that in this context it should say victims. Saying consumers changes the way it is read. Following your logic try this one: Equifax doesn't want children to get their $125 It reads differently.

Personally, it is in the name: full-time job. It takes your full job time, it says that there is a measurable amount of job you can have and that it is full with that one. Following that logic, if you fill all of your available job time, th

We went recently and had a good time. It was very hot and we took a few breaks, we didn't find any diamonds. The kids had a great time, the facilities are quite nice, and we got to see more of Arkansas which is quickly becoming a favor

I really like it because it covers just enough on a number of topics and ties them together. There are many books which can allow you to delve further into specific subjects.

Yep! It is really great and covers theory, technical implementations, and practical implementations while not locking into any vendor or specific tech stack. If anything, it's technical information is too dense.

Curious, would you not prefer a modest house and early retirement or options to a giant house in another area? Maybe you can grab both right now, I don't know, but 3-400k can buy a house in extremely nice areas in flyover states, why n
