I finally switched from firefox to safari on iOS. The latest redesign was the last straw for me. Very frustrating how the look of the app keeps changing without any useful updates. "telemetry says..."

Multiple reasons, depending on your level of cynicism. Least cynical is that there were competing priorities in the general and the current President was (is) an overall distraction from any policy discussions. Most cynical is that Dems don

Pretty sure they're doing this to entice people to vote in the Georgia runoffs so Dems will control the Senate. "Vote for us and we can make this law."

We implemented a 90 day retention policy for all slack messages about a year ago. Everyone was pretty resistant to it at first, but it's been pretty great, honestly. It forces us to put things we'll want to remember in the handboo

I'm a little skeptical of this as well, but I think there is a path. At my previous company we would take in a lot of data from other companies and do analysis for them. If we had a really easy way to share the transformed and analyzed

Sorry you had a bad experience with it. Certainly compared to redshift it's a dream. I use it every day and it's been great for us.

Ah good catch. I don't know then.

I had the exact same question. Pg 127 seems to give the answer. > Date Available for Sale in the Public : The 91st day after the date of this prospectus (First Release). Edit: Seems like I was wrong. This is for current shareholders. I s

Snowflake is the go to data warehouse in my opinion. Redshift and BigQuery are fine, but Snowflake is head and shoulders above. Good community around it and tools for it (dbt - works on other warehouse though). They have the mindshare in

I recently saw youtube video on that called the cardboard box reform. It caught my eye because I hadn't heard anyone talking about it, but it really makes sense. I don't know how you sell less transparency to the public though.

Seconded! And you can build your own adapters for other databases as well.

Every time I see a post about Mongo it makes me wonder what could have been if RethinkDB was managed differently.

I've been thinking about this a lot lately and have come to a similar conclusion. I've been very focused on technical skills lately, but in doing so I've started to lose some connections in my org and network. Career growth d

Assuming the vendor doesn't claim that having + is invalid. I've seen that quite a lot.

I completely agree with how you framed this and I articulate very similar points to people when they ask me about Autopilot. I'm no longer exhausted after a long drive and it's amazing.

Snowflake does something similar since it's a metadata store and cloning is mainly copying the metadata. It does scale with data volumes though so it doesn't seem like it's be as quick. Really great idea here!

Google dropping inbox was what finally got me abandon their products as much as I could. Switch to Firefox and use DDG as my primary search provider. FYI, Darwin Mail[0] was made soon after Inbox shuttered as a paid alternative. I gave it a

At one point when I was at another company I was working on a graph database that connected all of the ontologies you mentioned and then some. It was really cool to be able to traverse the entire chain all the way from an analyte and see ho

I would love for sortition to come into vogue in the US. Not sure where it would fit but it seems like it aligns incentives better.

I noticed you looked at the marketing site which is completely separate from the FOSS and Enterprise offerings. Does https://gitlab.com/explore/projects/trending look better? That's running the enterprise cod

I love that you highlighted this! This is basically a mandatory part of the data team's workflow. Once the MR is open we then spin up a clone of our data warehouse tied to that git branch where all the CI jobs run. I like that it will

I quite like this framework from Divio[0] for thinking about how to write documentation. It mainly gets you thinking about the _purpose_ of your documentation (and therefore the audience). [0] https://www.divio.com/blog&#x2F

I've seen that before (maybe a bank, maybe ADP back in the day). Really horrible UX.

I am! SQL is the language of data and analytics and it can be quite a joy to use. But maybe I've just Stockholm'd myself into liking it.

That would be amazing... I've never tried a spin class but if I knew that I could play Mario Kart or Burnout or something like that on the bike... what an idea!
