If you see the comments at the bottom, they highlight that the article is wrong on some of the instantiation-related magic methods.

This is pretty backwards. We will genetically engineer humans to live on Mars. This is the only way it can work. Any genetic drift would be optimized and changed by the same biotechnology, so there's no chance that a new species would

It's not quite that simple. Timezones change (less often than postal codes, but across the world, it's still a bunch of maintenance changes). Getting rid of timezones would be simpler and reduce a monumental number of bugs (as wel

Ironically, what Steve Jobs later decided for his products looked a lot like pure marketing (from the Macbook onward iirc) because I have never needed or wanted or bought a mac product since then.

Yeah, this didn't debunk much of anything (to me) and the "caveats" at the end were laughably minor. I'm not sure why they listed them other than to say "but they aren't ANSI SQL compatible!" as FUD.

You only need 1 loader for directory loading json. Yelp already has an ETL (and more transforms) for combinatorial normalization of format (from log files to events pretty much covers the spectrum). Redshift will create columns (within some

I went 20 years without knowing how breakpoints work because they always just did (when they were available). Reading this, it's unsurprising how the tool works. That's the best kind of tool.
