List of places I worked from last month: - my desk at home - my couch at home - my dinner table at home (in a boring call while preparing and eating lunch) - my desk at work - like 15 different meeting rooms in offices across two continents

That is a better response than my sad little post deserved. Thank you.

Of course! But why would you think that this is achievable? Look at the enormous amount of hatred even a small change like "your car, your house heating and your stove will use electricity instead of compressed refined dead dinosaurs&q

The current Honda hybrids (Civic for sure and I think CRV also) work kind of that way - in slow speeds it works like a series hybrid and only in freeway speeds it connects the ICE to the wheels. The claimed mileage is similar to Toyota&#x27

France does, though. The police violence is not as normalized - see riots because they executed a minority race teenager for no reason, something that would be seen as pretty normal in US - but the culture is definitely as messed up.

I think the consensus on why heat pumps _should_ be the future is that you can power them with low carbon electricity, as opposed to literally world destroying natural gas.

Do you want there to be only one browser, owned by a monopolist megacorporation that is striving for a world where everyone consuming ad 24/7 while having zero privacy? If so, use Chrome or its clones. If not, your only way of fighting

I will never understand why Mongo and Elastic get so much hate when all the did was to try to protect themselves from AWS parasites. I guess having yourself exploited and ultimately destroyed by monopolist overlords is the moral choice or s

Interesting idea. On one hand, I think the world's attitude towards the tech companies has changed sufficiently that Google's "sinking Windows Phone by making Gmail and Youtube not work on it" trick might not work out fo

I wonder what kind of gun would you need to chase away an orca. I'm going to assume 9mm wouldn't even penetrate their thick skin and subskin fat.

I mean Microsoft is now building the AI that will take livelihood of hundreds of millions of people and according to some might be the first step towards AI wiping out humanity. So the jury is still out.

They announced plans of only allowing sharing images with account and deleting all "unowned" ones.

Yeah, I thought he was literally locked out and how "smart locks" sound like a bad idea due to failure modes like this. Not that he couldn't use his smart nonsense. Still, it is a good lesson on control.

If your data fits into Postgres, using Databricks is just plain waste of money.

by glogla 3y ago
Databricks is very much like Microsoft or Oracle - it is not sold by technical merit but by sales slides for CTOs. It is unfortunate but this will not impact their bottom line at all, because technical people already overwhelmingly don&#x27

It is funny because I feel the difference, yet can't really explain it easily because my native language has just one word for both concepts.

The story goes, the internet propagandists that are paid for the work are paid more if people respond. Best to just downvote, flag, move on.

It is funny because at least for me personally, it is the other way around. I am most interested in deeper technical talks (or cool lightning talks that broaden my horizons) and keynotes often feel like highlevel generic talks that are very

He didn't just ran to Russia, he went to China first. It would be lot more believable he did it for the greater good, if he only took documents related to internal spying (and not bunch of other stuff) and if he didn't take the do

Your other comments mention living in China, and you also deny Uighur genocide, so thinking you're pro-CCP is not exactly a stretch, is it? CCP could buy Western vaccines, but they instead chose their own, even when they knew it is les

War between the West and China would be naval and air affair (with the exception of Korea I guess), so the traditional draft doesn't make much sense I think. The war would be mostly about whether US can blockade China into a collapse,

I would say, they are both complicated. Afghanistan shows that trying "nation building" on a place where they don't actually want any nation doesn't really work. But it did work for Japan and Germany after WW2, so maybe

People find this difficult to grasp, because of black and white thinking. COVID vaccines significantly reduce how many people who get exposed to COVID actually get sick. They also reduce just how sick people get. Both of those reduce how CO

Yeah, that would be my answer as well. I actually forgot to mention that - Snowflake and the like store data away from compute so no matter how you misconfigure clusters (though Snowflake isn't really that configurable) the data is saf
