Well for one thing, he's using a bunch of correlated subqueries, which is a bad idea. He even links to an article about why it's a bad idea and then does it anyway. Generally easily avoidable. For another, postgres has more JSON f

My take was charitable because if he knows better, then he's making a bad faith argument, and I didn't want to accuse him of that. I didn't read beyond the article. I only responded to what was in the post. He didn't use

This was enlightening. I've often wondered why ORMs exist, and it turns out a bunch of devs don't understand tabular data. I was going to say they don't understand SQL, but apparently it goes deeper than that. Like, left join

Not sure what they'll opensource. The rust code? They're calling it a DB, but they described an entire stack.

The pic of the ugly site looks like it's full of blog posts, but this post is on a different site for some reason. I would've rather been sent to the ugly site if it doesn't have marketing cookies and a membership popup.

Because they're deranged control freaks who need to convert a single character that is semantically a tab into multiple characters that are an opinionated representation of a tab. Devs: We need to separate concerns and split the view f

Your first and last paragraphs are at odds with one another. They have to solve a lot of problems to do the project, but it's too bad they're not spending money to solve problems... The walls are mirrored, not glass. Even if it we

The finger should be pointed at us. We could've built our cities much more efficiently, but we chose to prioritize cars over common sense. We funnelled our wealth to them and ironically they're using it to build a city that is den

I can't speak to Google Sheets, but the Excel support for Python is currently severely lacking and poorly thought out. People want VBA to be replaced with Python, JS, or something else widely used and respected. Typescript would be goo

Front lighting isn't always ideal because it increases the distance between the screen and the user and makes it feel less paperlike, which is why Remarkable isn't front lit. It also uses power. Both types of displays don't n

Then make those activities against policy and have transit police. The solution to bad behavior shouldn't involve cutting off poor people from basic services they need to improve their condition.

For some use cases. If someone is using a spreadsheet as a form app, then sure. But spreadsheets are one of the best tools for analysis work.

Looks like pg as a replacement for databricks sql, which is already a query engine for datalakes. It's not a lakehouse, but it calls itself one. Seems like a cool and useful project, but the name is problematic.
