I spent time researching this a while back. The duplicate row issue is part of why I don't use MINUS for table value comparisons, nor RECURSIVE like the original article suggests (which is not supported in all databases and scarier for

The "diff" described in this article is very different from "diff" in Unix, it's a "fancy data science data comparison tool", not a "pedestrian data engineering tool" comparing two tables. If you

It was a little interesting Jim Keller's diagram in the article showed historical architecture layers of the tech stack growing for 50s/60s/70s/80s/90s/2000s but didn't show anything for 2010s despite the

You raise a good point; I wasn't familiar with that 80/20 ACA rule. I'm not sure I could put my fingers on the one-page annual notice I received but it said something like the healthcare benefits paid out for the prior year w

Love your comment. You should read the annual disclaimers on how much your company’s health insurer pays out for health insurance claims filed by your company. I only noticed seeing this dollar figure in the paperwork for some annual discla

Don't know about Amazon-specific details but since I have setup a similar mechanism with my team and our "partner teams" within a big company to solve similar scaling challenges I will make a few observations. Per that wikipe

I am using a similar concept to scale my team's impact at a F100 company; making processes and ways for other teams to contribute code that is otherwise bottlenecked to/by us but ends up getting owned by us. It's worked for t

The original article makes a good point but neither it nor the comments here mention my main concern with used computers-- They don't have the same clean/new-system "security" properties as a new computer. Who knows what

US DOD fuel use being the level of Sweden doesn’t seem problematic to my envelope-math; it seems to reflect the size of the entities involved. Iraq is a now broken third word country/economy in recovery so not a great comparable to US.

This was LONG ago so some context is less relevant now and may not apply to others, but three of a dozen of our tactics turned the tide, the last being the best, but building on the others: 1) The basics: track all information entered in th

Funny thing about that. I always have liked (Americanized I know) Chinese food without visiting China. But I didn’t love Vietnamese food until visiting Vietnam. Having been there, I now seek it out here. Even though I had it on quite a few

I appreciated the perspective in the article just having taken my first overseas vacation with my kids a week ago. There are overstated benefits and pros and cons and costs to the thing. How much of post-travel glorification is reflexive se

Just to share a different but sympathetic point of view, I grew up in white American suburban culture without particular awareness of Asians (till high school anyway), and the dynamic of “my child is better than you” was there (and unremark

Unified memory was a key feature of Silicon Graphics's low end O2 workstation released in 1996 (well before that 2004 date.) It enabled both "unlimited" texture mapping memory and ability to map video streams as texture maps

The article mentioned NFS metrics, a hot button issue of mine. Having worked on systems with intermittent bad nfs performance, the client side logging for NFS in Linux seems very poor since it’s handled in the kernel, client side reboots cl

GUIs changed the human-computer interface from CLI “remember and type” to GUI “recognize and point”. The latter has reduced cognitive load at least for simple tasks. The fragmentation of different Unix desktops was always greater than Unix

When someone is suing you, even wrongly (in your view), responding in public is very rarely the legally recommended appropriate thing to do. I don’t think there is any compelling argument to be made from Ram’s silence.
