Yandex ClickHouse also should be on the list!

No pricing and no self-hosting option (either/or would be fine of course). A pretty neat tool for hobbies, maybe...

MongoDB is not well suited for OLAP-style workloads - have you considered Yandex ClickHouse?

To be fair, Spark is way too slow to be used as a back-end database system (there's a big bap between "lightning speed computation", as they put them, and a common workload for a database serving data to a user-facing applica

Honestly I don't know, I do not work for Thoughtspot. My assumption is that it works on metadata coming from a relational schema with a rule parser on top. Honestly I don't see how it would work well enough if it was based on NLP

Kind of goes in the direction of what Thoughtspot ( https://www.thoughtspot.com/ ) is doing ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-y_EjFsDuk )

I have tried it ~1 month ago and was quite a bit underwhelmed - direct connectivity with Google products is nice, but the data manipulation capabilities themselves lag behind Tableau a big deal (especially when it comes to clicking around i

Perhaps that's closer to ClearScript ( https://clearscript.codeplex.com/ ) in the .NET environment - although ClearScript has a broader area of application and supports multiple engines.

It's a bit odd there's no mention of the PG columnar store in this article ( https://www.citusdata.com/blog/2014/04/03/columnar-store-for... ) - especially since it's from the same company.

What about Selenium? Is it already covered in point 2?

I've recently switched from a Windows Phone back to an Android one, and from my experience WP keyboard suggestions are usually more on point compared to the Android ones. Only thing I miss about the old phone, really :-) I will be tryi

That would be like estimating the world population to be 1B instead of 7B, though...

Nothing, really (if it works for you!). It's just extremely far removed from the usual way pizza is consumed in Italy. I'm usually annoyed by the many culinary debates we like to have (e.g. when should you put cheese on your pasta

I think I might have met a few, as I am Italian myself :-) To be honest the story would be much more believable if the writer weren't a foreigner - that kind of reaction from the shop owner is usually reserved for much stronger violati

I can't quite imagine anyone (Italian pizzaiolo or otherwise) getting so worked up over a pizza order. I think the situation described in the piece was either much friendlier than the author makes it out to be, or a fantasy that nicely

Making money with software is not very correlated with said software's quality - or popularity. I think yours is an unanswerable question, you should probably start from the other side of the equation (i.e. what's the target marge

Perhaps - but to me, the article goes like this: [premise] society loves to hate on poor people and considers them stupid for buying luxury [tweet that states nothing of the sort, not even remotely] [thesis] so, given that I've never h

I've skimmed through it after the blatant straw man in the first paragraph, which prompted me to post. I might read it later if the resulting discussion on HN is interesting :-) edit: downvote away, but I doubt I'm alone in feelin

This piece hinges on the premise that "not filthy rich" is the same as "poor", and goes on a tirade from there. Is it really that controversial to state that you shouldn't buy what you can't afford?

Yes, but the character who gives that advice is very blatantly portrayed as a moron (by the way, does anyone know who are the inspirations for the character?)
