Parallel production lines with overlapping sequences also cause this, especially in aerospace- it is widely known that Airbus does it, for example.

Make = who made the thing Model = what is the type of the thing Serial Number = was supposed to be what order the things were made in (e.g. the number of the serial order), but this is often obfuscated or often repeats [1]. In cars, make wo

Here's a fun true story.. Aircraft do not have a singular unique identifier that is time invariant. While it is true that aircraft have serial numbers issued to their airframe, by itself, aircraft serial numbers are not unique. The onl

I was not up to speed, there seemed to be a period of time when CentOS support was dwindling and it even looked like the project might no longer have upstream support. Regardless of the complex history of CentOS, RHEL, etc it seems like the

I would wonder if paying for a legal fight to recapture the trademark is even worth it. Couldn't Synadia just fork what they want to and rebrand for a commercial new product, and go forward from there? If they wanted to backport or kee

This is a fair concern, I imagine. If it is highly user serviceable, maybe that isn't a concern. That said, I think you raise a bigger issue - I'd like to see MORE things like Framework, Fairphone or Slate - user serviceable, cus

Hi zackmorris, If I may so bold as to refer to you as "my friend" (having never met you)... My friend, I think I understand what you mean. I am about the same age too. I would like to propose an idea to you - and it is something

I don't like the idea of intellectual theft without attribution/citation. If it is shared publicly/into the public domain, I believe the least that should happen is attribution/citation where possible - especially if a

There is a docker image at least. Would be cool as a standalone tool though, I kind of agree.

I'm not related to the author or developers, but this appears almost like an Airtable-like (or Nocodb) UI on top of postgres, so it's really quite a different experience than a full database manager tool/IDE like DBeaver or D

Not sure about the previous post, but also python’s OrderedDict collection guarantees order-sensitive equality checks. [1] Plain dict maintains insertion order but equality checks only check that the key/value pairs are the same. [2] [

I found the argument that it’s impossible to test SQL (and some other hard statements in this article) a bit too absolute. Testing SQL is not impossible – SQL unit testing is a thing – identify a unit of SQL, such as a query, function, or s

May I humbly submit “parsing expression grammars”[1] for your consideration? Fairly simple and somewhat fun.. Python has PEG parsing built in, but also the pyparsing or parsimonious modules too. I have built EDI X12 parsers and toy language

I can go one step further with an anecdote- in the small town I live in, private equity bought our small hospital, and the land it sits on. Consequently, it changed policy, raided the equipment to take expensive equipment to other hospitals

Seeing this news is a nice tribute to Ed Stone, who was one of the core project scientists for Voyager and recently passed [1] (and all those who work/worked on the program). I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Stone at a public NASA eve

That's quite interesting, would you be willing to share any sources? I wouldn't be surprised if the term SQL/MED had been spoken in healthcare/medicine circles (I worked in that industry before). That said, it's th

You're right, but this problem doesn't go away when you use Python - because you still have to interact with the type systems of the platforms you are integrating. It's a much more difficult and nuanced problem than I think

Even a SQL query can suffer the same fate. Ever tried writing a SQL query against a distributed database that isn’t optimized for that read path? I think that’s what’s really pointing out the root cause issues here, it’s not purely GraphQL

The MED stands for management of external data, nothing to do with medical data. It’s actually a chapter in the ISO/ANSI SQL specification.

In traditional security training, you learn the "AAAs" of security - authentication, authorization and accounting (and don't forget the last one!). It's good to have ways to easily capture the meaning of these words, but

This is a good reminder that what we call the public cloud today is actually a misnomer - it’s not actually a public cloud, it’s someone else’s cloud. Just like we used to say the cloud is really just someone else’s computer. I think people
