Am I right in reading this as the parent comment envisioning a “post” table and a “tag” table, and you’re suggest the “post” table just have a “tag” column?

Those aren't really equivalent, are they? Hadoop is for analytics, spanner is transactional. In terms of popular nosql vs google sql products, it's more Hadoop : BigQuery :: Mongo? : Spanner You're pretty explicitly not suppo

It's not as common in the US, since most states are at will, either side always can give notice at any time for any/no reason (other than targeting protected groups / whistleblowing, etc), there's not as much point to a

I think the idea is that someone buys the "number" with 5m to turn it from dirty to clean. The person with 5m can just point to the purchase as the source of funds, and they don't have to account for where the money came befo

Out of curiosity, when you have a large amount of text flying by like with package installs, what is the expected accessibility behavior? I imagine a screenreader trying to keep up with the install logs in any way would be... chaotic.

If a police department has a 10m/year budget, resulting in 80 police officers employed, a 2m settlement coming out of the budget means they have to lay off 16 police officers to pay it. That would create an department incentive to forc

Maybe because SMS became very popular in the US, and iMessage originally was just an extension of SMS from a UX perspective, 2 years after iPhone launched. It added functionality and fixed issues with SMS (multi-part messages, images, etc).

To the OP's point about infotainment being okay, I wonder if the core functional components of space flight (RCS, etc), are controlled through linux. It would surprise me if it wasn't used for high level things (displays), but not

Seems like a false equivalence. Playing Halo is itself the test. To have beaten the game is to have passed the test. If anything, that metaphor suggests students should be continuously tested to prove competence, and only by "beating&q

Using products like this in the pastI've run into a pretty simple issue: - Request 1 is a post that generates a "todo" with a random id "5y22" - Request 2 is a "get" for /todo/5y22. That works in

Interesting. I would think conceptually lateral joins would suffer from similar issues, as it would seem like you need to run a query, get a result, and then use it in the next query, and these are all just fancy ways of writing out subquer

I'd normally do what's outlined in this article with CTEs. IE, make a selection, use that as a base in a following selection, repeat, until you have all your data, then join it all together in the needed view at the end. Is there

The concern here is that like a dog sniffing a car and barking, the false matches give erroneous probable cause. Combo this with systems that are more likely to give false negatives to minorities, and you've created a blackhole of acco

What if you're twitter? Which this person is. I agree that if you can keep it simple, it's easier to do it. But sometimes you need distributed services. Saying only Google has that problem is a little reductive.

For me, it's actually the exact opposite. When I use scoping like that, my normal expectation is that I'm saying "Only style .me if it's in a .tells that's in a .something". I'm doing it for selector behav

It's funny, because in the case we're talking about, there appears to be edge case behavior if the number is a "safeInteger." While I agree in principle I would never import something as granular as "is-odd," j

Is this actually an objective truth? "relational" just refers to the relation within the table, it's less about having a database system with good inter-table relationship handling. It happens to be that a lot of the things w

$72/month per cluster, regardless of the size. It's interesting they're not charging per managed node (outside of the regular machine cost), makes it steep if you want to have a small cluster up.

I agree, but to me that's why it's dangerous to think about refactoring the whole codebase at once, whether strangler or rewrite. Project design is just like software design, you need to be design it for failure scenarios, eg busi
