Asianometry released a video yesterday related to this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQGnwKBxAKk While stating that SMIC might still be around 4-6 years behind the competition, I was completely shocked to hear it was onl

Very nice, and exactly along the lines of what I was thinking... I want to be able to create a custom SQL dialect that can output some code. Thanks very much, looking forward to spending some time reading through all of this!

Very nice/interesting. Somewhat related question and apologies if this is already stated in the documentation (it's rather dense and I haven't had the time to read through it completely)... Can you use sqlglot to create custo

And I believe there is great opportunity for Starlink on the RDOF funds they don't win directly and it might/could come in two forms: - Others will end up shipping rebranded/white-label versions of Starlink - Starlink will pr

I believe this is part of the premise on how Wealth Tax is supposed to work. While I'm not a big fan of Wealth Tax, I do think this is an idea that should/can be used across the tax system.

Very interesting idea... Perhaps a way to describe the sets of columns (clusters) and maybe even whether the cluster is row or column-oriented. But if you want to split the table between frequently and rarely accessed sets of columns you co

At the same time he did seem to suggest that it was a design that is aging quite well. Personally, when I look back at some of the original MacBook Pros with the milled chassis, I think they still look better than any recent Windows or Chro

I'm sorry if this doesn't add anything to the discussion, but one of MKBHD's latest reviews discusses the differences between the MacBook Pro 13 and this new MacBook Air. The video does a great job of shining a light on all o

The "moderation" for Shorts is just spectacular! And I don't mean good. The amount of back-to-back "Hi I'm Elon Musk and I'm something something bitcoin something something..." deepfakes is astounding. The

Thanks for clearing that up. I remember hearing that development of docker-engine was ceasing, but could obviously live on as it was forked. I guess rootless is some of the work that Docker (company) wanted to keep proprietary and out of th

Looking into setting up a Lakehouse/Datalake over the coming quarters. I'd say the biggest appeal to us is that Iceberg can handle schema drift/evolution, and a little more open.

These are effectively external tables. They likely exist on blob storage and not in any particular DB's storage system. As a result, you have a myriad of ways to interact with that data. Moreover, compute and storage resources are now

Also recommend Snowflake! However, this article was about table formats so maybe OP wasn't thinking about JSON. If so, looks like Snowflake only supports read operations atm. Snow Summit this week, so maybe that will change?

Ah! Always struggling with terminology specifics when talking about DBs/SQL. Sometime when people use the term SQL, they mean DDL, DQL (data query lang) and DML (data manipulation lang), other times they mean just queries (DQL).

I've come to understand that when I hear this "EVs are for the rich" argument, it's not about the cost of the vehicle. Or at least that's not really the issue today (just as you suggested, we bought an immaculate us

And if you're on the other end as the buyer and actually need to use the warranty, good luck. One of the worst experiences I've ever had, and it was supposed to be "one of the best home warranty companies out there".
