The architecture is sound - typically called ELT these days. Dump contents of upstream straight into a database and apply stateless and deterministic operations to achieve the final result tables. SQL server is where this breaks though. You

Looks like the classic mistake of every data team. Every single office person works with data in one way or another. Having a team called 'data' just opens a blanch check for anyone in the organization to dump every issue and ever

In post Czechoslovakia if you moved out of your hometown, you lost valuable networks. Healthcare and childcare were always connection based - you needed to know the local doctor, teacher, homebuilder - to get connected with specialists, ski

This style is familiar to those writing dataframe logic in df libraries with sql semantics - spark, polars or duckdb relational ( https://duckdb.org/docs/api/python/relational_api.html ). It definitely makes th

What do you need non-columnar layout for? Do you expect thousands of concurrent single row writes at a time? If you use embedded duckdb on the client, unless the person goes crazy clicking their mouse at 60 clicks/s, duckdb should hand

Does anybody know what is the relation between SQL as SEQUEL and then the competing language QUEL from Ingres db? It always looked to me as if somebody back then in the database wars tried to word play on each other, one way or another. ht

Two people already form a 'company' and the hard part of convincing somebody else of your idea has already been accomplished. You can argue growing from 1 person to 2 is the most critical part of company growth. With 2+ cofounders

How does one output properly csv quoted rows? It seems thr csv flag works only for parsing inputs.

There is sc-im, which is the closest you'll get to a full spreadsheet app in terminal with vi controls. https://github.com/andmarti1424/sc-im

As someone coming from a culture with T-V distinction [1], I always wished we dropped one of the branches like English did in the past. The informal T vs formal V causes confusion in conversation with semi-strangers. Eg. At work you never r

This looks great! Please consider removing any implicit network calls like the initial "Checking GitHub for updates...". This itself will prevent people from adoption or even trying it any further. This is similar to gnu parallel&

Out of core computations. While your python and R script will choke after reading few hundred megs, my compiled binary cli will keep streaming through many such files with memory usage sitting somewhere near zero.

Great tool. BUT, leaks memory like crazy. Despite documentation stating the verbs are fully streaming. > Fully streaming verbs > These don't retain any state from one record to the next. They are memory-friendly, and they don&#x2

Another trick is to search the book title on youtube. There is a fair chance the author wants to promote the book and delivers the entire message in one hour speech in their own words instead of in hundreds of fluffed pages in the book. You

Google made terrible mistakes with their main cash cow of search. They removed the important feature to search only forums, ie. human generated content, and promoted SEO spam to the top instead. Public forums became undiscoverable and peopl

You need to have a vision, then measure time of being blocked. If you're blocked, you're not progressing towards the vision. If you have a team of sufficiently competent people, you should expect to achieve your vision eventually.

Who is the rightful owner of a name or similarly, a piece of land, or an idea, patent? The first settler? The first settler that held it for at least a year, 10 or 100? The most powerful entity claiming it? In the modern western mind there

They said the same about Galileo. 99% of the time you'll be correct labeling people as conspiracy theorists with the blanket rule - any time they are not mainstream approved. You'll end up being horribly wrong on that 1% that actu

Entities without competition inflate prices until they capture all the extra new pie. You receive increase in salary from your boss one year and next year it gets eaten away by monopolies like healthcare, education, housing and landlords.

Fortunately, getting LVT effective is just a change of a rate how much you charge for exclusive land use. The legal framework is already set up for it in many countries, so no exchtra change needed, let alone changing the 'economic fab

Number one thing UBI does is to provide options. No longer you'll hear employers say "if you don't like it here, go somewhere else", when the 'else' part is another abusive company like that, going homeless or

Flatten the damn thing and process it relationally. Linear data scans and copying are so fast on modern hardware that it doesn't matter. It's counterintuitive for people to learn that flattened nested structure with massive duplic

That's a hardware management question. The optimized binary used in my shell script still runs orders of magnitude faster and cheaper if you orchestrate 100 machines for it than any Hadoop, Spark, Beam, Snowflake, Redshift, Bigquery or
