Typing this from a Make Office (WeWork competitor). I am not surprised at their cashflow situation. A local office recently poached a bunch of members from the Make location I'm at. They were offering 6 months free rent. It seems like

Regarding RAM consumption. I'm on a Windows box right now. The Windows Desktop Manager takes ~75MB RAM, but my Firefox process (with most tabs suspended) takes >2GB RAM. I run into the same on my Linux and BSD machines at home. I ru

This makes me think of a good thinking talk, with a quote I pull out from time to time: > I hate code, and I want as little of it as possible in our product. http://pyvideo.org/pycon-us-2012/stop-writing-classes.html

And make that table WIIIIIIDE. There are so many useful attributes for query time and to be exposed as filters/parameters in reports for end users in a more self service mode. Flags for whether the day part is YTD, MTD or similar, so y

I've already registered. I'm super hopeful that this grows into a real forum community for extended discussions. I, like many other posters in the inspiration thread, used to have a number of forums I frequented which mostly died

A couple of statements followed by a point. Performance is readily acknowledged as a feature.[0] There are gradations of intentionality and prioritization. I don't think anyone said, "Let's make the thing slow." That bei

I have found the transition to be pretty worthwhile. Evil is actually very good. There are also a few Evil-X packages that give sensible rebindings for other popular modes, like evil-magit. It helped for me that I actually like lisps as wel

What is with the editorial meme of putting direct quotes of the article you're reading in line with the text of the article? I've seen this across media. It almost makes sense to me in print (e.g. a magazine), because you can see

If you're a software company and you have only a few customers, then you're probably doing bespoke development (whether you call that consulting or not can be your own decision), not product sales. The entire purpose of selling a

I hate to be the dismissive one, but I've seen a similar demo on a developer's laptop on CPU. On 32GB of RAM and 4/8 (core/thread) I have demos with billions of rows of data that I can report on similarly. Here's a

It's much like an immutable data store. You get one operation: insert. With full backward compatibility, you agglomerate features, and changes are implemented as optional, with the default being the old behavior. You can add layers tha

Perhaps something you've already considered, but if you're going to spend time on automation of sweeping extra out of checking, you might want to put that into some index funds rather than a savings account to optimize on return.

So why include ThreadRipper in any of the benchmarks? Some include ThreadRipper. Some include 7900X, some include one or the other. Some include neither. That's the confusing thing to me.

Curious, any reason you've left out MS Azure DW? I'd be interested in seeing their numbers in there as well.

In the absence of Microsoft's product, 'SQL server' may very well have become a generic term for an RDBMS instance. We cannot know.

If Google is tiny in Intel's eyes, who isn't? They operate a top 3 cloud service and have enormous internal data centers as well.

If this is a commonly used notation in the paper, then it would make sense to state once up front "here's how we refer to sets and their members". DRY and all that.

"Consider the set P {p1, p2, ... pN} representing providers and the set c {c1, c2, ... cN} representing customers" versus "Consider the set P of providers and the set C of customers" The former is about 2x the length of
