I do sadly have the opposite experience - "Yes, we are contractually obligated to give you data about every batch and everything we did with it - what do you mean excels with schema that differs day to day is not enough?" ... The

I think something like singer.io can be "microframework of ETL" or rather ELT which is a better idea anyway. But of course, it has its own challenges.

That kind of approach is fine for special cases like time series or logs or events, but "no updates or deletes" is never going to be true for arbitrary data. "Negotiating with data provider" is never going to happen - SA

Oh sure, I understood the effort to make it easier to "plop down" bunch large plants at once, not hundreds of small ones - though those are kind of interesting in isolated locations. The other thing is old Soviet idea of using sma

One common complaint is that every plant is a special snowflake that is validated, qualified and certified from scratch. Building more at once as a single project using a single plan could bring a lot of efficiency in the process. I think t

It's not quixotic, it's capitalism in it's purest form. They are literally destroying the planet for money and don't give a fuck.

You seem frame it like some kind of EU conspiracy to destroy UK, but what would be the alternative? Have every truck driver have the license for every country they go through or deliver to? Can you imagine how much of a pain it would be for

Oh I'm sure you can. The ruling doesn't say that. The ruling says that when you do it in context of pretend-seminar that's far right propaganda, and you do it mostly to to anger and hurt people to divide society - then when y

Depends if they actually develop it. For other open source software, they usually keep improvements (say, improvements to Spark working with S3 from EMR, to give example from my area) to themselves in proprietary modules.

That's a very good description. Thank you. (sometimes I feel upvote isn't enough)

Here's the actual judgement from ECHR: [1] It is an interesting reading - it gives a very different impression than the article. According to the document, she claimed Muhammad was a pedophile in a series of seminars "Basics of Is

Those don't cover other dangerous types of lies, like telling people drinking bleach will protect them from COVID, or telling them COVID is a hoax and they shouldn't wear masks, or the whole antivax thing.

Interestingly, "typical European Free Speech laws" are both more and less restricting than you would see in the US - there's more limits on harmful ideologies and violence but less restrictions on sex and nudity, for example.

Right. Not something we can use then, since we can't have our data moving through public internet for legal reasons. Thanks for the answer.

That's Poe's law then. It doesn't help that we've all seen other / real (depending on whether GP is being sarcastic) authoritarians making exactly that argument I guess.

You can't be stopped because Visa and MC don't like what you're doing. EDIT: here's a quote from when this was discussed in HN last time: > A society without cash is a society in which every person has no choice but t

Pointing to thermodynamics is the same "bootstraps" mentality you see elsewhere, just applied to food and health instead of money. Just like telling the poor "just make more money", it might technically be true but it is

If you don't mind me asking, how does Stitch scale? We're currently using bespoke Spark-based ETL tool because we need to move like 2 TB/day from various place, especially legacy system that don't make incremental data m

This is exactly why I convinced my company to buy Airflow from Astronomer and Presto from Starburst and Spark from Databricks instead of getting all that from AWS. I would rather give the money to the people who make the stuff than to peopl

Depending on where you are. I come from a place where saying "All <slur> deserve to be killed!" already is illegal and would already possibly land you in prison. Not vaccines though, but that might come to pass as well, sinc

I'm not sure you have actually shown the equivalency. But if you did, how is that different from worker protections or consumer protections or environmental protections or mandatory seatbelt or million other laws?

I have to say, the whole blog is pretty good. If you like this article, definitely stay and look around. It's a good example of proper old-school, deep but well explained engineering.
