What are the different use cases for this versus meld?

I also am working within this field in academia, and I must say that I have really enjoyed reading your work. I am focused a bit more on combining biological data sources with text knowledge graphs, but in my literature review of the field

"We can prune for the facts" I wouldn't be too sure of that. People have shown time and time again that they are pretty bad at determining what a 'fact' is. It gets far worse when they're shown more data (the

Most of the answers I was referring to are miles away from those requirements. Postgres fanbois love to suggest it for everything - for which a huge percentage of the time is simply 'This csv is too big, how do I load part of it?&#x27

Java is a newer language though isn't it? The 90's wasn't so long ago... right guys? ... guys? :(

I think they have this perspective because SQLite is almost never mentioned when DBs are discussed. Almost everyone pushes postgres, which I think is often a bit insane. Postgres or (often rarely) MySQL is given as the answer to most DB qu

It's strange how HN seems to think that by religiously disagreeing with any progress which is labeled "ML progress" they are somehow displaying their technical knowledge. I don't think this is really useful, and the ar

I don't understand - what is wrong with condensing the python representation `sum_of_lambda_for_each_psi` to `Σλ∀φ`? It seems that 4 symbols is much quicker and easier to read than a slew of snake case stuff.

This doesn't make any sense. Aging is certainly a problem that needs to be solved, but the idea that you expressed here seems to be that younger people are better at their jobs - which is very wrong. This line of thinking is akin to &

It seems that you're taking the best aspects of many people and combining them into one idealized person. This is most clear in your post when you transition from speaking about people who are "very intelligent" because they

>where did I do that? It's mostly just the unwillingness to have a moderate view towards these currencies. Everyone on HN seems to have blind hatred steering the discussion, rather than admitting that it may fail, or may become the

I'm pretty sure the problem was that it was fragmented across workers and such. I had already computed the filters and done a df.show() and count prior to trying save it. It's just a really unfriendly system for creating packages

It's not a "free lunch". I would advise you to look into projects like these, as it appears you have a lack of expertise in this field. That knowledge gap isn't filled by dismissing projects with a religious like attitu

The daily trading volume of nyse was similar to that of btc even back in 2017. Banks are throwing enormous amounts in now. But if your little quip was meant to ask how the mere mortals are using it in the streets, I think it depends on the

Yeah it took my computer 10 minutes to save a 40 MB file on Spark today. Instantaneous on pandas.

Spark seems like it will be good, but always disappoints. I doubt know much about spark, so I may get this wrong, but I feel that they need to greatly improve both: 1) the automatic configuration of single node systems 2) the changing of c

Data is useless to you? I think you're just showing how much you're unwilling to attempt to stray from the religion of anti-crypto. I'm not really a big fan of crypto, but you do have to admit that some of the projects would

Have you never eaten with a friend and had to pay them with Venmo? You could also do it with paypal, or even hugs. Or Monero. It's a bit more stable since people use it as a currency more often. You have options, which pretty much depe

Yeah. Totally didn't solve anything. And in fact, it hurts the environment more . Terribly database, this blockchain thing. I'll stick with my non-raid, not-backed-up, sqlite file on my 10yo hard drive, please and thank you. (E

I believe this is why ethereum was so popular, as it introduced the idea of "Smart contracts". So the transaction is dependent on something occurring in the real world. Obviously there have been a ton of developments since then wi

Btc still uses far less energy than the banking industry. The relevant comparisons are important to consider.

The environmental impact is tiny compared to that of the banking industry. Of course, we can always strive to reduce emissions in every facet of our lives. However, this argument applied to Cryptocurrencies didn't hold any water at all

I don't really think this everyone's goal anymore actually, It is shaping up to look more like 'purchase some now, such that it takes you a slight bit further in the future'. People like paying each other with Paypal. U

Isn't that due to green being the highest energy of light for an LED available at that time? IIRC, everytime a new material was created to get the increase in band gap for a higher energy photon (i.e. blue or violet), there was a Nobel

I also love the cleanliness of Python compared to bracketed languages. When I was younger and learning the language it seemed to be beneficial in forcing more structure and readability in the code (no ridiculous obfuscation by single line
