Like parquet this isn't really meant for RDBMS type of database, more like for analytics over large datasets. I work in an environment where we typically have tables with over 300 columns, 10s if not 100s millions of rows daily. When y

There is also a hilarious movie called The Moonwalkers which did that also. I think it completely missed its audience which probably killed the director's career which is a pity. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt271844

My favorite trivia on Barry Lyndon is the fact that he built a camera out of satellite lens to get the necessary aperture to shoot candle lit scenes with no artificial lighting. But with such a massive aperture, the actors had to stay absol

Plus trying to extract a genuine reaction from your actors by surprising or manipulating them is a common occurence. A few examples from the top of my head: the alien bursting out of the chest in the first alien, jodie foster's nervous

I remember an old illustration in a French newspaper, to explain how a military B747 mounted missile interception system would work. For the B747 they reused the last clipart they had around which if you looked closely was a TWA B747. An un

You could argue the same about people playing sports instead of safely exercising in a gym. And what about those consuming drugs? An argument to ban all drugs. If that's the standard there are a ton of activities you will curb or ban.

Did you succeed with your parents? It's hard to be excited about theoretical physics as a layman. It has been a long time since any of those theories had any practical application.

These videos are horrible. On one side I feel for that kid who probably didn't chose to be there and grappling with imminent death. On the other hand if my country was invaded I would probably watch those videos with popcorn. It's

Even re production. It's only a massive piece of concrete. France is still good at pouring massive amonts of concrete, that's what all of its suburbs are made of. The line was not exactly a marvel of engineering even for the time

Plus people will get a lot less worked up about AI picking and aiming at targets in the air vs on the ground.

The Maginot line in France has become synonymous with a useless measure of defence providing a false sense of security though. It's a combination of several things. First military hardware is a lot more expensive. A ww2 tank was a big

Avoiding murky download websites is the biggest benefit of using a package manager like chocolatey (along the ease of setting up a new machine or updating all packages).

Things breaking on planes somewhere in the world happen multiple times a day (you can see a sort of log on https://avherald.com/ ). On top of not necessarily being the manufacturer’s fault, I don’t know that these events hap

I think I would miss how seamless is RDP too. I have a lots of VMs at home (simplifies backups, or allows to have a machine behind a VPN without affecting connectivity of the main machines).

In my case not just visual studio but the work it would require to figure out all I figured out on windows. Creating VMs, websites, interacting with system features, lots of trivial and not so trivial things to learn. I have tons of home sc

I don't know that having so many codecs is a good thing unless they really add something. How does it compare to av1 (which I was under the impression is coming to be the natural successor of hevc, with hardware support)?

I think people are worried no one really understands how AI picks the target. Reminds me of that story from probably 5-7y ago. Someone wanted to use AI to classify photos of tanks as soviet vs US. So he went to a US tank museum and took lot

A war that would only kill 10% civilians would be a massive improvement over any recent conflict.

We crossed the line of machines that automatically kill a long time ago. A heat seeking missile, or a shell that detects and target tanks [1] are effectively doing that. Software selects the target. The soldier only points in the general di

To be honest skype for business was a piece of shit. Teams is an even bigger piece of shit. Don't think that made much difference to users.
