The fundamental power of the internet is its interoperability . It was born out of the ability of different networks to talk to each other using common protocols. The interoperability is what we've lost in the Web 2.0 era. Even such q

I agree, brief descriptions like sound vague and empty. So let me support my claims: EasyMorph is easier for non-technical people because unlike with PowerQuery all of its functionality is available without coding. Also, EasyMorph is more p

May I suggest your non-tech users to try EasyMorph[1] (I'm the founder)? It's easier than PowerQuery (it's completely no-code) and at the same time more powerful. 80% of PowerQuery capabilities require coding. Our tool is 100

Apparently, a programming language itself can't be low-code. I suppose PowerFX is designated as "low-code" because it's intended for use in low-code apps, basically, becoming the "code" part of "low-code&q

Nice idea. We need more tools to build various explainers. Ideally, embeddable.

There are wireless headphones with a good TCO. I have a Logitech headset that cost me $80 or so. Changed the battery two times over the last 7 years. Each battery was like $12. Battery replacement was trivial.

The second point sounds like something that can be fixed with regulation and/or fines.

It's 2.5% ROI, on par with inflation and well below the market. It's hard to reasonably justify it. Unless you bet on a stock with an extremely high P/E to get a much higher P/E.

At least we know how Ford can screw things. With Rivian we don't know even that. Yet, Rivian's valuation is higher than Ford's capitalization despite many unknowns and far far smaller production rate.

It solves nothing. They still need something to mark poor quality videos so that the viewers don't waste time figuring it out themselves. Oh, wait, the mighty algorithm gods of Google will again decide for you what you like.

SQL calculations on columnar data are quite different from row-based databases, so its effectively a different database engine. You can take multiple advantages of columnar data store, because it usually employs a form of vocabulary compres

This is why I believe the real inflation is higher than the official. When the price remains the same but the quality degrades it's inflation.

DuckDB is faster than SQLite on an analytical type of query. That's expected because DuckDB is column-based and designed exactly for this type of queries. The analysis would be more telling if it measured insert performance as well.
