I think you're correct, but I would add that inflation (not sure if you meant to imply that was part of the pandemic) has forced people to take higher risks as well. While in the past an employee may have tolerated below market wages i

Yes, I imagine they could. I wonder if they acted out of fear that someone would come along and gobble up ARM and do them what everyone is now scared of Nvidia doing to everyone else. Now the question is, who will that "someone" b

> materialized WITH clauses Are you talking about CTEs? And if so, are you suggesting that each "temp table" in the CTE is calculated/materialized a step at a time? If so, I see the query optimizer tear these barriers down

I'm not too sure about Postgres honestly. I was specifically talking about Snowflake, although there might be others that do it too. https://docs.snowflake.com/en/sql-reference/functions/result... Someti

Not in every case. Some DBs allow you to reference the results and use the result reference in subsequent queries. As a result, data stays in the DB until you're actually ready to pull it. Or of course, you can just use temp tables.

Totally agree with what you've said, but let's face it... the hate was always there. This whole situation has just emboldened the hateful to become violent both verbally and physically.

I guess you might be able to say that ICQ is still around? And one of the largest messaging platforms around, if not the largest? Of course I'm talking about the QQ variant, which is probably so far from the original ICQ that I have no

It is already a thing, just not prevalent. Although I believe for the moment, you still have to choose your radio-specific variant as the transition to 4G and 5G isn't 100% complete yet; CDMA vs GSM. (I hope I'm wrong about this b

I've used a similar custom technique in the past, but only been able to deal with it from a read perspective. As a result I had to split schemas into read and write schemas which turned out wasn't too much off an issue since it wa

Or perhaps since your "private" salary data seems to be getting shared with anyone, why not just embrace it? Start sharing it with all your colleagues?

I believe the point Beefy is making is that once they have your information, how can you prove that it was used in determining whether someone gets hired or how much their salary will be.
