I'll bite. Yes, it's a lot of money. It's several months worth of nice healthy groceries for a family of 4. It's my annual deductible on my health insurance. It's slightly lower than my annual property taxes.

My employer is in the midst of migrating petabytes of data from Snowflake to DataBricks. They’re sold on the “all in one” nature of the platform and believe they’ll save significant money through a contract locking them into DataBricks runn

Regarding documentation, I think the DuckLake docs would benefit from a relatively simple “When should I consider using DuckLake?” type FAQ entry. You have sections for what, how, and why, essentially, and a few simple use cases and/or

I’ve always been mildly bothered by the LED lighting in my home, as if it’s simultaneously bright but not illuminating. In simple consumer terms, if I wanted to shop for a variant that more closely replicated incandescent lighting, what exa

As a parent with two kids that used Scratch during 2020 or so… be cautious. The web community was an unregulated social network with follows, likes, comments, and a wide age range (apparently) of people interacting. Around that time, there
