I think there are morals in Grimms Fairy Tales even in the earliest versions. What is striking to me when I read them is that many of the stories come from people at the bottom level of society and reflected their struggle for survival. The

I would add that's in some sense "externalizing" an ideal flow state in the sense of the article. Real flows are hesitating and often emerge incoherently. So you end up reworking the commits to represent the path you would ha

One of the truly great programmers I met at VMware was almost obsessive in the way that he thought about not just commit messages but the entire structure of the commit log. The goal was to make changes appear as a flow of understandable co

There are alternatives that do work. From what I've seen AWS seems to push decision-making deep into the organizational hierarchy, which means that individual cloud services can make rapid advances. It's an effective way to deploy

It seems to me this move will only work if it's a step to a flatter org with managers who efficiently ensure technology is connecting to business needs. Once your org is really broken, half measures won't fix it.

In ClickHouse you could do this with a materialized view provided the specific_date_time_value is on some boundary like hour. If it's not you could union the results from a small fraction of the source data that does not fit the time s

Overall the conference was not very technical and was characterized by an obsessive focus on generative AI. It unfortunately obscured a lot of the good work that people have done at Google. For example, there was an excellent talk on work t

This is a nice illustration of the effects of different choices for storage layout and use of compute. ClickHouse blows away single-threaded queries on row-based data for analytic questions. On the other hand PostgreSQL can offer far higher

Hi Josh, sorry to hear about the issues. Sounds like things that should be solvable. ClickHouse does require thinking a bit differently from other stores like BigQuery. I sent you an email. Feel free to contact me at the email posted on my

Tethering is free on my US T-Mobile account. I use it instead of crappy hotel Internet connections. Performance very much depends on your location, as the network is often shaky outside of cities.

I was there too. It certainly felt "timed" to maximize the sense of deflation for people working on MySQL. Perhaps it was just coincidence. IIRC Larry Ellison said that the crown jewel in the deal was actually Java.

At least German transliteration is 1-to-1. Slavic names among others often have multiple transliterations available. The Russian name Валерий can be rendered for example as Valery, Valeriy, or Valeri. It's very confusing for documents
