My take is that they love apps for the simple reason they show as easily clickable buttons to enter. Most dread having to type a Web address for something they regularly do. Few know that they can create an "app-icon" from any Web page. Should be advertised more.
I had a new colleague on the team, who I had to on-board. I gave him a few simple tasks, just to get him into the whole setup. He literally copy/pasted my task description into Claude and asked it to complete the task. To begin with, I didn't suspect this, so when he asked for more help, I gladly wrote up a detailed explanation with more information and detail for him to learn. Little did I know, he never read it but put it directly into Claude. Not even sure how I should handle it, but my first instinct was to get extremely annoyed.
Maybe this is just how things are going to be. But in that case, I'm done spending my time being a helpful idiot talking indirectly to a robot through another person.
SQL, OLAP, Primary use case is fast aggregations on append only data, like usage analytics.
It's fast, it's........ really fast!!
But you need to get comfortable with their extended SQL dialect that forces you to think a little different than with usual SQL if you want to keep perf high.
This seems like the kind of things you can do before you get kids and have real responsibilities. Then you need to get back to reality. Sounds fun though and I would have liked to experience it.
Great read, although a shame that it didn't go any further than adding the write cache SSD solution, which must have been many years ago. I was hoping for a little more recent info on the EBS architecture.
Did Douglas Adams travel in time.... this is scarily accurate!!! My BMW keeps turning off the volume if I wave at anything in the direction of the touchscreen. There is a little infrared camera near the roof that can sense hand-gestures and turn volume up or down ... and lots of other things.
It's inevitable. We are in a normalization phase right now. Soon, kids will just shrug at stuff like that, because they will all know it's likely fake and therefore not care much about it.
However, I feel really bad for those who has to be the ones to go through the pain of this phase though.
Same. I even got my mom an electric bicycle as a present, just to lower the entry to physical exercise, but it just collected dust in the corner, despite endless promises to start using it. She passed away suddenly 3 years ago. I'm sure her heart just gave up. Still can't really take it in.
If the joy of your bad habits outweigh whatever other sources of joy you have in your daily life, then it's hard to motivate someone to stop. In their mind, they are making the conclusion that they'd rather die with some joy from the bad habit than die entirely unhappy - which kind of makes sense.
It's particularly funny because their example docs for .NET outputs "B4aajs", which to any Swedish l33t speaking individual, would read "Bajs", which means "shit"
I was in an online fashion market place company that wanted to test 60-minute delivery in the same city.
We bought a few bikes and had employees ride out to customers, just to check if there was an actual demand. Turned out there was not and the idea was dropped with a low investment.
Yes, that is really a shame, although it's been fully open sourced.
Yandex is aware of how the geopolitical situation is hurting them and are therefore building a new company called Double.Cloud, based in Europe, to work around the negative public opinion on Yandex, and thereby continue being able to sell Clickhouse cloud services.
You should really consider getting a proper router like Unifi or the like.
It's a one time cost and it will save you from these issues no matter what ISP supplied crap you end up getting.
Just plug whatever ISP router directly into your own, more capable, router and your home network will look identical, no matter where you move to or how many times you change ISP.
That said, running Pi-hole on a Raspberry pi is a treat!
The idea is not to just generate any random string that matches the grammar. The idea is that if your request is "What are the first 10 digits of pi?" and you restrict the response to the regex: "[0-9]+\.[0-9]+", then you actually receive a correct answer of "3.1415926535" and not just a random string such as "1.2346789", which also happens to match the pattern.
