It's incredible what competition can do to spur innovation. Does everyone remember how stagnant Java had become during the 6-7 era?

It's beautiful. Just imagine what'll be possible if we learn to manipulate meatspace like this.

At some point I often wonder why people are so damn intent on living in their terminals. This is an ASCII GUI with the exact same feature set that `git cola` offers which is extremely lightweight and keyboard friendly. The only difference i

Texas is setting itself up to be a huge regulatory counterweight to California. 1. We had the finance ruling related to fossil fuels. 2. We had the abortion ruling. 3. We now have this. This is going to be a huge shift politically. Californ

Sometimes you can't beat inflation. Wealth equality is inherently inflationary. If people in developing nations start demanding the same standard of living, prices are screwed, costs go up, and certain cost changes cannot be hedged. Fo

Nah. Druck isn't one of those types. Bill Ackman is. Druck is just known to change his opinion when the facts change or he comes to a new conclusion. There's some anecdote about him completely flipping on a position when going in

For those who don't know, Druckenmiller is also very well known for changing his mind the minute facts change which is one of the hallmarks of good trading.

You do realize that the stock market will not save you from inflation if it remains flat for a decade?

`f` behaves just like closure. It can even be assigned to a variable. def f(x): x = 2 # <- this `x` is the same `x` as in the argument, it can be access via locals() internally You can even assign `f`. For example, `function =

by fny 4y ago
I don't expect 2 to be printed. I think you're conflating scope with calling conventions. x is locally scoped to the function. `f` behaves like a lambda/closure. Would you expect `(define f (lambda(x) x))` to have awareness a

R has call-by-value semantics. Python has call-by-reference. These are entirely two different programming paradigms. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15759117/what-exactly-is...

DENSE_RANK is not ANSI SQL, also you're implicitly performing a join with your "where" clause.

I've started to toy with this already and using a tool like sql parse to abstract existing queries. Like say you have a query that applies to one table and potentially others where the column names are slightly different. Why cant you

by fny 4y ago
OP here. SQL is fine: it's powerful. It just feels like there's something missing. I don't think you need a new language, just a set of extensions or macro system to make it more DRY.

SQL is masquerades as declarative. It's relational algebra in disguise. This results in... - Queries that are difficult to interpret/verify. - Non trivial amount of effort to go from question to query: I often feel like I have to

Thanks! MDX and DAX look powerful but also unreasonably complicated. LookML seems even more constrained. I'll keep digging.

The bigger problem is views are tightly coupled to the underlying data.

by fny 4y ago
No, these are all highly coupled to the underlying data structure. Even stored procedures tend to know a bit too much. Say I have a table with the following properties: - It has a column that corresponds to an id - It has a column that corr
