I haven't read through all of the documentation and while I actually love Java, I'm surprised that there isn't some kind of declarative language (DDL but more than just the "data" in Data Description Language) even

It definitely seems like Tesla is slowly seeping into the world of other car manufactures in an ongoing manner. And I don't think they/we have given much thought to what's yet to come. Batteries, auto-pilot, training/inf

While that is true to some extent, it's a very dynamic situation/market. https://electrek.co/2023/12/19/audi-puts-big-ev-push-on-the-... https://electrek.co/2023/11/16&#x2F

Nope. Tesla has opened up the standard, but there are a few caveats.

Not necessarily. Using the plug doesn't imply that you have to use Tesla's charging network, even while still using Tesla's charging hardware. Tesla is already working on deals to sell their super/ultra-fast chargers to

Sorry for perhaps reducing what SQLSync does to any over simplistic description, but is it effectively applying the CRDT pattern on top of the client (SQLSync/sqlite) and servers (Some OLTP) individual operation logs? edit: I mean reba

Sorry, but I still can't really figure out what's going on. So he didn't say something antisemitic? Was that just one of many other statements which were antisemitic? It's all open to interpretation?

DuckDB use case? I remember being in the same spot. Then I realized "the" use case for DuckDB didn't really exist. There were dozens of use-cases. No wonder I couldn't figure out "the" use case from reading all

and guess what those tables use to store data a lot of the time? Parquet. I assume that when you say "tables" you mean "external tables" since you're in the data world. If you didn't then I guess when you say &

Actually... (sorry, not picking on you Simon! Awesome post and I just love reading and talking about this stuff) With duckdb running on python you can register your own file-system adapters. This means that you can do things like intercept

Yes. Using a view in this example, you can't dynamically change which files are being selected (not even with joins or where clauses). What if new files are generated and suddenly there are more or less files? Therefore you probably wo

As much as I love to tout the benefits of duckdb, the ability to only pull down the columns that you need is not really functionality that is enabled by or exclusive to duckdb. It really has to do with the parquet file format. And it gets e

Yeah, it's tough one. On one hand they make their living with videos and need to producing and releasing, but then blow their cover. On the other, they could be wasting scammers time and effort for a longer time, building up years of m

I think you have the right idea. And that's what threw me off at the end. How did this lady (as well as the others he mentioned) get pulled in to the mix? Perhaps the scammer convinced this lady to handle the call for him since it was

While you're probably right and we should be concerned, I'd say what is more concerning that than the quantity is the content. Whenever I hear that an app is collecting telemetry I feel conflicted between leaving it on for maintai

Databases can usually be split into one of two types; OLTP (row-based) or OLAP (columnar). OLTPs are used mostly for transactional workloads whereas OLAP is mostly used for analytics. Here goes... Take 1: sqlite is to Postgres, what duckdb
