I see Panoply is part of this effort. Panoply creates a lot of spam on hackernews, reddit, twitter, and elsewhere. As an example, doing ETL with drag n drop tools, and not in code, is a dying skill in the industry. [edit] Basically I'

It's Oct 31st so this thread seems like a good place to post Airbnb horror stories. The first Airbnb I rented was part of an interview at Airbnb. I was given a credit for a free Airbnb for the purpose of experiencing the product. The

This article conveniently overlooks problems when remote workers need supervision to keep them in line with expectations. I’ve had both good and bad experiences managing remote teams. The difference seems to be the quality of the remote wor

This brings back memories of a common exploit w/tftp, such that you could download an unshodowed /etc/passwd file from a remote machine, decrypt it, log into that remote system, collect new hosts from /etc/hosts, th

"SQL queries don't start [optimizing] with SELECT" The title is missing a word. Interestingly, part of the industry is moving towards databases that optimize themselves (ex Snowflake & Oracle Autonomous Database), plus p

1% of the people that want this feature are surely thrilled. It is a cool feature. The other 99% of us are looking at this like a potential land mine that will show up unsuspectingly when trying to refactor old code, or migrating from pos

Musk thinks like a software engineer. Create simple, reusable, components that can scale efficiently. I’m taking some liberties in saying this, but the gist remains the same. Musk keeps it simple and focused.

Very cool that you can go between drag-n-drop and code for development. How is Prophecy different from datacoral.com or Astronomer.io? Will it be open sourced (ex, dbt, airflow, Dagster)?

Interesting that security is 1 of 5 pillars and hardly gets a mention in this paper. Who wrote this and why?

Ah yes, the home contracting industry is ripe for SEO due to so many long tail keywords. A project I'm not proud of managed to get 100M pages indexed (about 1% of Google at the time), all related to home contracting services. This wa

This is true, and DMOZ was used heavily by Google's earlier search algorithms to rank sites within Google. Early moderators of DMOZ had god like powers to influence search results.

Quicksort is an algorithm, a copyright on it would not hold up, but a creative use of it may hold up. Kafka is not part of the public domain, but available through an open source license, that AWS is arguably exploiting to make some money

Even if cloud providers give back more than they take, there nothing legally stopping them from stealing an open source project as their own. The Business Source License (BSL) seems like a good reaction. What Amazon did to confluent.io an

What kind of customers is PlanetScale going after and how does the product compare? This seems like a very niche product.

One comment is CTEs don’t use indexes, so you may want to avoid using them in production code. That’s something to consider if you may need to port code to/from databases where indexes may be available.

Is the point of this paper that SQL should be used to in streaming data pipelines? Aren’t people doing this already?

One possible solution is a junction table: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associative_entity An RDBMs within indexes is probably fine.

Great, glad this was confirmed as I am about to solve a similar problem and my expectation is that Apache Arrow will be needed. So pyarrow = Apache Arrow.

Could this same problem be solved by using Apache Arrow, to convert to/from pandas, and cut down the complexity in the process?

Academically, EdgeDB is very interesting, but practically, it seems to be solving a problem that does not exist. SQL is great for simple set operations and will lose its efficiency as you move towards more advanced features. The industry

Netflix does have people from MySpace, which could explain the annoying auto play feature, but the reality is Netflix has a mature process of AB testing. If autoplay is permanently on then it's because AB testing wills it so. ¯\_(ツ)_

What's the difference between a Delta Lake and Change Data Capture? Seems like in both cases you're creating a type 2 dimension against a source table.

Very interesting. Can you give an example where you'd want to track a process that takes days or months to execute?
