So you're basically arguing that abuse and exploitation is necessary.

My only drinking alone is I have a glass of Glenfiddich when someone I care about passes away. I'm in the middle of second bottle since I started.

I think it's a bit more nuanced - while I would say SELECT is declarative, UPDATE or INSERT or DELETE feel pretty imperative to me. Not only are they literally orders, but only DELETE is idempotent. But for analytics systems, you can g

Maybe. Or maybe you are just helping the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Whether proprietary software is a force for good or just another mechanism of exploitation is a matter of opinion, and the GP might not share yours.

For large installations where land is plentiful, it comes out that way. In other conditions, it might not be the case?

One colleague once told me capitalism is the natural state of world and that her dog was capitalist, because it picked up a stick and refused to let it go - and that is why socialism and communism (same thing for her) will never work. When

I think comparing old desktop with new laptop is going to give you different experience than comparing old laptop with new laptop. I got M1 Air and not only is it a huge difference from my previous 2017 MPB 13" (which I gave to my moth

It might be Trojan horse but it is defensive one - if Microsoft makes Windows iOS/Android/console-style walled garden and starts extracting 30 % from every game, Valve needs a way out.

Cogeneration is a thing in colder climates in Europe, but the other way around - most cities have district heating getting the heat from power plants, incinerators, etc.

Great! That means NYC can get more economies of scale and be even more efficient! Huge dense city like NYC would be a perfect place for district heating and cooling. No reason for apartments to have boilers, really.

There's [1] but I'm not impressed by the efficiency numbers. Also, no need to go through electricity. Significant part of my city is heated by waste heat of power plant that would otherwise go out the cooling tower. [1] https:&#x

It's hard to find English source. You could try machine translation of this wikipedia page [1] - but that says it was mandatory only in 1951 to 1959 and then it was changed to a recommendation. I know my uncle was supposed to go to one

Young people were assigned jobs on finishing schooling. There was not much "looking for a job". Unless you had the right contacts, the closest thing to deciding where to work at was to pick a higher education - if you picked autom

As far as I know, the ones cozy with the regime were cared for (well beyond normal people) while underground artists worked odd jobs like night receptionists, janitors, boiler room operators or were in prison. (edit: also uranium mines for

Considering how billionaires must inevitably think about normal people - the way normal people think about ants - for Amazon to be run by unfeeling inhuman entity, no AI is required.

For me, the ball and table had no color - they were almost wireframes. I think the task reminded me of studying physics in university so much, that I imagined a diagram of them, not the objects. Yeah, the more I think about it, what I &qu

Is there dbt competition? I know of https://dataform.co that looked pretty similar, but that got bought by Google so I don't know if it would be a good investment now. Any other?

Singer and dbt are different - dbt orchestrates stuff (evaluates macros and runs SQLs) while Singer actually has the data flow through it. So rewriting Singer in something fast (I guess Java since even the most obscure database has JDBC dri

Pedantic HN style comment: doesn't half-life of 6 hours always imply "quarter-life" of 12 hours? :) (though I wouldn't have realized that without your comment, so thanks for that)
