   I’m genuinely happy with Redshift for data warehousing purposes. For this I mean not-transactional data store. I don’t want to use the term OLTP or OLAP as it puts it in a purist’s camp. Sometimes I store 3NF normalized data and many times

   I was thinking of cities in Europe and Asia although I could try to name some cities in the US but the definition of low in that context would be by US standard (sadly). Austin is equal to Kansas in crime rate. The latter is conservative-le

    I know. It was terrible, verbose. But it could create with ease all of the features mentioned in this post. Those were simpler times.

    I love this. All the talk of low-code-no-code now have never heard of FrontPage 98.

    When I was very young, parents would tell me to turn off the bedside lamp for bedtime. Engrossed in a book, I would lean by the window to read by the light of the street lamp. I blame this now for my nearsightedness.

    I’ve heard of prusiks and hearing about it again made me go down this rabbit hole of friction hitches. Fascinating! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_friction_hitch_knots

    Similar to tradespeople not showing up at ports, exacerbating the supply chain. Zillow may have figured out the digital programming problems but the analog work of literally improving the homes did not transfer to the same principles.

    The comments in that article are very revealing. The “safety score” was probably developed by infallible ”data scientists” who know best and can whip up an algorithm in a weekend.

    I wish I can ride onto an interest graph without having to wait for the algorithm to decide it for me by inference of who I (have to) follow.
