I didn't catch the part where "Parent wants storage at the source node.". So if the goal is to eventually have the timeseries data merged back to a timeseries DB, and latency isn't too much of a concern then wouldn'

It never stops! All the crypto-scam videos that show up during all the live streams for SpaceX launches, Telsa events, etc... is just unbelievable. With all of Google's AI/ML resources, you would think they could do something abou

K, I'm seeing the crux of your contention. Seems to either revolving around the idea of using cloud services in general, or specifically using S3 (or any blob storage) as your data substrate. That's fair. Out of curiosity, what ar

Right, i don't think anyone is suggesting to use this as an operational data store. Use it for infrequent/read/analytical/training access patterns. Set you bucket to infrequently accessed mode, partition data and build o

Why bother doing any of that. Just set your bucket up with open access, and dump your files anywhere on S3, choose whatever format, compression and schema you want. Don't bother using prefixes or naming convention since that's a w

Effectively a compute engine on top of S3 storage that is smart enough to push-down to S3Select where possible. Well the general idea of a compute engine on top of S3 storage where data is partitioned efficiently with the appropriate prefix

I live in a place in the US where a couple of the public utility companies are rolling out highspeed internet through their utility lines. Not exactly sure if it just means they're laying-down/hanging-up fiber as they go through t

Are you suggesting that Snowflake compatibility/integration is coming in the future? If so, do you plan to integrate Snowpark (Snowflake's custom DataFrame APIs) into the mix?

Why would they ban those kinds of videos. I'm sure we wouldn't be having this debate if they did, because TikTok would have already been shut down in the US and many other countries. And obviously the content makers would just use

Moreover, it's not just about "me" and "now". In my opionion that's myopic and selfish. It's also about "we" and the future. What "I" do could be used against my family, friends, neighb

This is brilliant! Nice job! Asked the same question in another thread ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35320571 ), but i suppose it belongs here: Why didn't you do the same for OctoSQL? Are you considering DuckDB

Sent me down the rabbit hole. I knew that Japan, China, UK were there largest holders, but what an interesting list. https://ticdata.treasury.gov/Publish/mfh.txt I didn't expect to see Ireland in the top 10.

Focusing on "in process" for the moment, I believe that where duckdb can really shine is in what I like to call last-mile-analytics. Sure, the complete and most up to date version of your data can be stored in a warehouse/dat

Awesome stuff! I was about to comment about how this is all fantastic stuff, but I've really found reading through duckdb docs quite challenging. But for these json table functions, documentation looks much better. https://d

The last time I went down this rabbit hole, I discovered one of the other reasons that China is effectively the refinement bottleneck is because of all the related patents that they've picked up over the years.

Thanks for taking the time to explain this. The idea that a lot of these names are just "prescribed semantics" really makes understanding git easier. I think it also drives home the point of how powerful, "simple" and th

Isn't the point to demonstrate that this process is possible with inexpensive, commodity, off-the-shelf parts. And if so then there is viability with solution. I doubt he's talking about building a company that sources their machi
