   I had the same thing, but the driver dropped his phone off with a friend that was still "within the airport" as we drove out the airpot so that he didn't lose his virtual place. He was pretty upset with me.

   Very interesting tool, I am trying to do this with Dataform/Looker, and feel like some kind of inference like below would be great. > this table tends to update every 30-40 minutes so we’ll set a threshold at an hour Can you achieve

   Snowflake is working on Snowsight, in public preview. I suppose what you are describing is a more refined query layer, which is somewhere between Snowsight and Metabase https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/ui-s

   I think doing a deeper analysis into why this is a good tool in addition to dbt would be useful for me to understand. Locally Optimistic [] has a slack channel and do vendor demos, with a _very_ competent data analytics/engineering mem

    I wonder if you are at risk of doxxing yourself with some peculiar typos and grammar mistakes.

    Regarding (c), have a look at this jekyll theme [1] for photo galleries. Jekyll is really nice to use, but the photo galleries are pretty few and far between. Disclaimer, I couldn't get this to deploy using Github pages (which is nice)

    Snowflake through and through. I haven't used Spark, and have used Snowflake extensively, so I may be quite biased. I imagine Spark has advantages in certain very high performance ML workflows. (see my HN profile for links to my writin

    I've been doing some "light technical" writing about data analytics systems. I've been adding metaphors to make it easier to read and skim. I'd appreciate any thoughts [1] as to how this might detract from the conte

    Agree entirely.I see this being implemented as a column type on analytics DBs such as Snowflake or Bigquery (feature of a bigger product) rather than a specific DB designed for ML. The reason being that as you pointed out, this would be mo

    That is very interesting. I always assumed sea birds used combination of wing in ground effect [1] and the lift of wind hitting the front of waves to cover long distance, but this explanation makes much more sense for birds crossing oceans.

    That is dynamic soaring [1] which is I guess a subset of slope soaring, and is pretty rare and nuts. It generally requires flying in the lee of a slope rather than in front of it. Regular slope soaring is relatively more sedate, fun and acc
