This is one of the ostensible guiding principles of the Washington Post: "The newspaper’s duty is to its readers and to the public at large, and not to the private interests of its owners."
Independence from ownership isn't really a left/right principle. The Washington Post has their set of guiding principles online - I think from those it's pretty clear why there is discontent.…
Sorry, but someone who is averse to joins is not a non-expert in SQL, they are a total novice. The answer is like any other programming language. You simply must learn the language fundamentals in order to use it.
It's not really a problem of there being combinatorially many ways to join table A to table B, but rather that unless the join is fully-specified those ways will mostly produce different results. Your tool would need to…
Once you have SQL, you have datalog. Once you have datalog, you have SQL. The problem isn't the target, it is getting sufficiently rigorous and structured output from the LLM to target anything.
I think the problem is the quirkiness on the English side, not the SQL side. You could translate datalog to SQL or vice versa, but understanding intention from arbitrary english is much harder. And often query results…
I don't really know much about India but they seem to have more illegal immigration than the US does and per https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-50670393 seem like they have discussions about amnesty there too. My…
On the OP's resume, they claim to have written the "highest performing in-memory database in the world". It's here: https://github.com/carrierdb. There are no users. Perhaps it is the highest-performing in-memory DB in…
You seem to think you're disagreeing with me but afaict you're just demonstrating my point, unless your point is just about how (int, int) will get packed. That's what I meant about the column order of indexes. If you…
Postgres pads tuples to 8 bytes alignment so an indexed single-column int takes the same space as an indexed bigint. That's the usual case for indexed foreign keys. Differences can appear in multicolumn indexes because…
Reconfiguring tables to use a different kind of unique ID (primary key in this context) can be a much bigger pain than an ordinary column rename if it is in use by foreign key constraints.
If you use a surrogate key, you still need a unique constraint in the table (probably the same columns you would otherwise call your natural PK). If your unique constraint isn't sufficient to capture the difference you…
This is an interesting read. I noticed also that Roscoe Bartlett, the rep running that hearing, moved entirely off the grid after retirement. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roscoe_Bartlett#Personal_life
My reading dropped off for years until I got a kindle. The kindle made reading way more convenient and portable. Totally changed my life.
Were you working on that at BD? Who is designing kinematics around Atlas? I understood it to have no users.
My guess is orgs that have a real need for a distributed SQL database (which are rare in the space of orgs) will make their choices based on requirements analysis rather than naming. So probably if you would be turned…
I would distinguish between "local dev environment" and "debugging specific data-dependent customer issue". My experience is you can usually write the application with no dependencies on customer data, and do local…
It would take at least 500-1000 years for the life expectancy to rise to 500-1000 years. Pretending that is very soon, or that people in significant number could even afford that ability after the tech existed (which it…
I think your observation is why you read a lot more about Phillips these days than RFK. RFK's promoters switched to promoting Phillips when they realized RFK was drawing more conservatives for the antivax stuff, than…
There's nothing wrong with competition within the party -- that's just a primary. What should clue you off is that Phillips announced yesterday he's considering a third-party run.
RFK's campaign is also a spoiler, propped up in part by the same people. My sense is what happened is they realized he's a little too crazy to be effective, so they are hedging their bets with Phillips. Exactly the same…
That's not really the point, the point is it's not an honest campaign. Elon Musk isn't donating money because he thinks Phillips will win, he's doing it because he thinks it'll help Trump win. Because Phillips needs to…
Dean Phillips seems relevant to this community. He has proposed cabinet positions for Elon Musk and Bill Ackman, and announced yesterday that he might be interested in running in the general under the No Labels ticket.…
Much cruder fakes than you are describing are a huge problem in practice, costing billions per year in fraud to Americans alone. Just because you can detect them, doesn't mean your grandma can. The societal implications…
