as a parent who has attempted to navigate the complexities of social media and mental health and social norms and conformity, social media absolutely has an effect on how the emerging generations interact with their surrounding environments

i’m not normally a conspiracy theorist but i had in mind what trump announced earlier today. he’s going to parlay this into a way to being the millennial/gen z savior and it will work with great success. my gen z kids are already compr

i’m conflicted on this one. i’ve actively resisted management roles (except once where i was expected to be both primary IC and team lead) in favor of increasing both breadth and depth of IC expertise. i’m consistently top tier of my teams

yep. would rather it be a multiple of revenues from their role instead of a percentage.

was going to reference ultra-processed people. i walked away with some of the same general sentiments that are here - 1. nova classification is imperfect, but is better than what we had before it and i hope that we can iteratively find some

a lot of focus on the definition of "alive" in the comments, but i think that the weight of this rests on it being a step toward confirming the endosymbiotic relationship theory which states that mitochondria were potentially part

well that's not the infrastructure we have. we are primarily an aws shop so we use the resources available to us in the context of our infrastructure decisions. it would be a hard sell to buy something outside of that ecosystem.

shame they’re either unwilling or unable to trace the source of the inflation. also, it’s going to get worse for that person’s grocery bill under trump. the middle class will come under even greater short-term pressure over the next few yea

we use partitioned parquet files in s3. we use a csv in the bucket root to track the files. i’m sure there’s a better way but for now the 2tb of data are stored cheaply and we get fast reads by only reading the partitions we need to read.

so that’s a “yes, in many cases it requires preprocessing which would occur prior to the scope of this article.” thank you!

i don’t think the workspace memory is op point. if the initial set (not the intermediate or final projection) is too large, reads will come from disk which also creates cpu churn. at least in mssql, if the data page is not in memory it is r

this is a really fascinating and interesting to me. i’ve been using sql to analyze large data sets recently since sql is my primary skillset and having new methods and algorithms is quite handy and interesting. i do have a question of clari

i dont believe it’s a deliberate stance. I think there’s a human tendency to do the best you can in the moment that you have, and then reflect on that with some fondness.

odd that this was downvoted considering it has no emotional component and was a neutral assessment.

yes, baby boomers lived well, but that was a different world and a different economy. and that analogy fits really well because i think that's where trumps appeal lies, "let's get back to how the boomer generation lived (Make

agree wholeheartedly. boredom is a catalyst for creativity and introspection yet we treat it as anathema - something to be artificially avoided at all cost.

i’m not sure that’s the point though. i think the point is lost in op layering restaurants and jokes and such into their narrative. i think the actual point and concern is how being “out-group” affects their employment due to what they perc

i’m sorry for your experience(s) and how frustrating that must be. what you’ve experienced isn’t “right” and while it’s valid that you bring it up as a general concern and experience, it comes across as though you’re justifying how OP exper

my feeling is that it's a "badge" book and by that i mean, you wear it as a badge in order to signal your fluency in pro/anti objectivism conversations. conversations about it remind me of my post-high school experiences
