Interesting and well-written article. Thanks to the author for writing it. Replacing Spark with these single-machine tools seems to be on the hype, and Spark is not en vogue anymore. The author ran Spark in Fabric, which has V-Order write e

I had pinched ulnaris nerve in both elbows a few years ago. The symptoms were pretty much the same as you describe. It took two operations and more than a year to recover. The symptoms started to creep back this year, probably because I sta

Quite the opposite. Covid is dangerous for elderly and people having severe medical condition, much, much less dangerous for young and healthy. Flu is more dangerous to young people than Covid. Flu also causes hospitalizations in comparable

I can confirm this. I got a really hard pneumonia few years ago. It took several days in hospital to find an antiobiotic which actually worked, and I was in pretty bad shape in ER when it finally started to work. It took 10 weeks to recover

I read your entire comment history couple of weeks ago. Great experience! Thank you for providing level headed and well articulated responses to the widely spread mass hysteria. I also learned a lot, special thanks for pointing Thomas Howel

Completely agreed! Excess deaths are reaching all time lows in many European countries. Most of the excess deaths - as in Italy - were probably due to antibiotic resistance. But this is something you can't say, not at least in HN. You

Exactly! But you are not allowed to say this.

Do you have a link for the study or news article?

Not true. While it has been pretty rare for anyone to get fired over snooping other people's data, there has been several cases where it has been the basis of firing the employee. Especially the health care sector has been sensitive ab

This! In my hobby projects I start the development usually with Raspberry Pi as backend, even for db, as it forces to use resources efficiently and reveals problems fast. Only building/compiling is good to be done on fast machine.

And this reminds me of the documentation quality of Symbian around 2005-2007. I would highly recommend the author of the article the check it out, before lamenting Apple's documentation.

Negative reviews are also used put down competitors' products, blackmail free products or services, and in so many other ways that only humans can invent. The reviews are less reliable every passing year. Some platforms have awakened t

It did work back in the day. Enough people had moral compass set in a way that they actually paid for software, even though paying was much more difficult then as it is today. However, I think times and people have changed. Not paying for s
