   I hesitate to get involved in any political discussion here, but I want to understand you. You seem to be suggesting that it is the objective of Democrats to continue to allow people to enter the country illegally. Do you truly believe that

   The timing is suspicious in that it comes shortly after a statement that "Canada will pay a heavy price."

   I came back to add: One of the things that just popped into my mind that Calcite has that we don't is query planning. Obviously since MQL was developed in house we didn't get any optimizations out of the box. We've since adde

   The two sibling replies to my own do a good job of enumerating the reasons; - Macros allow you to greatly reduce boilerplate. - Lots of built in functions that operate on very few types. - Compact intertop And I agree with wild_preference t

   The events are already materialized in memory as part of whatever is recording them, thankfully. The MQL that runs in the services checks the WHERE clause of every query running and then projects a superset of all the fields necessary for e

   The thing I would be getting from spec is confidence when modifying the code base, which I get from the unit tests I wrote pre-spec. If I were to initiate the project today I'd probably have less tests and more spec.

    Oh, yes this is another excellent example of pain while building Clojure code bases. Though I'll say I only agree with half of your statement. I've found the interactive development story to be great with nrepl/fireplace&#x2F

    Hey Alex, I explored potentially using Calcite when we initiated this project. The syntax is very similar because both are an SQL dialect. Some differences are that MQL largely targets unstructured data (there is no schema for the streams i

    I am very glad you asked! I wrote and deployed (to production) some Clojure code at Netflix just yesterday. Among other things at Netflix the Mantis Query Language (MQL an SQL for streaming data) which ferries around approximately 2 trillio

    You're being incredibly intellectually dishonest with yourself here. Suggesting that shaving makes you swivel your head and become more aware of traffic is akin to suggesting that shoulder checking during lane changes is going to give

    Most companies aren't otimizing for innovations, they're optimizing for profits. If they desire innovation it's primary purpose is profit.
