Stop pretending you struggled when you're an IT guy. There are people who actually struggled, people who don't live in luxury in the richest parts of Europe like you do and yet they are happy to be part of the struggle for better

You can be both right. I would say that ClickHouse is a focused system - it is really really good at the things it's good at, and it is not good at the rest. Anecdote: I tested ClickHouse as possible replacement of Trino+DeltaLake+S3 f

Israel is still considered ally for multitude of reasons: big organisations don't turn on a dime and sometimes take decades to change course (same reason Turkey is still considered ally), fascists love Israel as model "pure people

Just downvote, flag and move on. This guy is here to insult people for fun and stir shit. No reason to engage (and yes, I know I'm also guilty of engaging with anti-Western but definitely not pro-Chinese/pro-Russian trolls).

Alliances are not just about power, but also about common values and goals. Strong allies are good. Strong enemies that are for historic reason part of alliance are pretty bad, and need to be managed. That is why Turkey is not getting F-35s

RedShift, Snowflake, Citus, Greenplum and Athena are OLAP engines, but not real-time focused. For this one, it is more similar to Druid, ClickHouse or RockSet. The 1.0 version of Pinot seems to bring a lot of maturity, they seem to have add

Back of the napkin: hundred million iPhones recharging their 13 Wh battery once a day every day from zero to full for a year is about 60 % the electric energy that this power plant [1] makes in a year. Not huge amount of energy, but not neg

Could Apple perhaps sell you a $99 wireless wired CarPlay dongle? Maybe $199?

According to my research (1) wireless charging increases the consumption between 40 and 80 % depending on how well you align the coils. It would be very much Apple move to take something that wastes enormous amount of energy (given the numb

There is a legal limit, yes, but nobody checks it, so you can do it indefinitely. Around here, there's even a lot of people driving on fake "foreign" plates.

Yup. Here's a fun hack - you can drive car in EU on US plates, due to international agreements. In that case, you don't have to follow local car inspection standards, but inspection standards of your home country. Get a plate from
