Doesn't look like there's much beyond what's currently possible in DataGrip yet (which is far beyond any other SQL client I've used), but nice to see a competitor in the space - especially one that will push JetBrains on

TFA article heavily implies consumer, situating it as a device as important to someone as a MacBook or an iPhone.

Tariffs might be a cause of the next recession, but they aren’t a sign of some fundamentalists on perpetual growth like OP was asking about. They’re just the arbitrary doing of one man.

Isn’t this just a cheeky joke? I.e. “if Einstein is right about this whole theory of relatively thing”

It’s in uncharitable to say the benefits are lost - I’d reframe it as creating tradeoffs.

I knot you’re not OP, but and while this explanation is good, it doesn’t make sense to frame all this as a “problem” for parquet. It’s just a file format, it isn’t intended to have this sort of scope.

I’m getting this sense too, as my own employer is starting to add AI features. The pitches for what is possible are not grounded in what engineers know the system can do, they’re just assumptions about “if we give the LLM these inputs, we’d

It seems like that’s the main conclusion of TFA as well.

What did you ask it that blew you away? Every time I see a comment about someone getting excited about some new AI thing, I want to go try and see for myself, but I can't think of a real world use case that is the right level of diffic

I agree with this, but would also point out that many junior engineers I've worked with completely give and ask for help if the program doesn't do what they want it to and prints out many lines of help. Even if there is a clear m

You can of course - I think the point here is it's different people with different goals writing the CLI lib vs the application. So it's often not the case that a single person who made the decision to have a message that says &qu

No, they are saying that code style, minting rules, and other minutia are not the essence of the craft. Which I agree with. You have to read between the lines to pick that up though, so your criticism seems valid.

I also had that reaction, but I kept reading and it was worth it. They mean it in a very narrow sense, and talk about the nuances and challenges of practical recommendation for much of the rest of the article.

I’m not sure I understand the “though” in this message but yeah, definitely the user interface of this social network is messaging.

“iPhone-only social networking” has been very successful (amongst my US-based peer group, at least), once you include iMessage - that’s the point. I don’t know much about apple invites, but if it integrates well into iMessaging then this

No, because the market is an aggregate of opinions, so it’s entirely fair to say it’s “generally accepted.” That has nothing to do with whether something happens to be true or not. It may provide a financial opportunity for someone who disa

For what it's worth, I've found success in not getting burned out by literally doing the opposite of this (save for the being proud of my work part).

None of the things you mention seem to be mutually exclusive with PIPs. Without commenting on PIPs specifically, I can at least say that I work at a company that has PIPs and also practices all of those things.

The Robinhood being discussed in this post is not a product, it's internal technology. The name clashing doesn't really matter.

When one queries a table though, it's only query at one point in time. Querying a stream implies that your result set is a stream as well, which introduces a whole separate set of complexities to worry about both as an implementor of

True, but dental insurance is so cheap relative to medical insurance.

I have the same question. Why should I care? It's not an extra cost to me, so the radiation would be the reason, but I assume it's quite minor.

In my experience, as someone who has gone on a small weight loss journey, you can eat things that taste good, you just have to eat less of them and more rarely.

Weird, it seems to me the exact opposite is true. More and more people are spending longer periods in coffee shops and treating them as offices.

Yes. It's not that the feature was previously known under a different name - Project Loom is the OpenJDK project, and Virtual Threads are the main feature that has come out of that project.

It is very well addressed, in the right forum (on the OpenJDK mailing list). It's a bit uncharitable to cherry pick a reddit comment on a specific thing and portray that as the public messaging on the technical decision. I want Brian
