I agree wholeheartedly with your take!

Window functions are a particular favorite of mine, but we haven’t seen much customer demand for them yet, so they haven’t been officially scheduled on the roadmap. They require some finesse to support in a streaming system, as you have to reconstruct the potentially large window whenever you receive new data. Probably some interesting research to be done here, or at least some interesting blog posts from Frank.

Please feel free to file issues about any of these functions that you’d like to see support for! We especially love seeing sample queries from real pipelines.
And is what distinguishes it from a drone the type of flight?

i.e. rocket plus some fins vs wings?
Competition will bring success to the company that fosters an engaged and motivated workforce. Even in national unions, they are still subject to foreign competition.

Sure, the free market isn't immune to nepotism or favoritism. But unions more often than not institute practices that give the same rewards to mediocrity as excellence - to the effect that the latter either put in less work or change jobs.
Thanks. I like it too. It’s just when reading a long main post I find myself collapsing it on accident

This is not true. ADS-B OUT is required to fly in certain classes of airspace, above 10,000 feet, etc. -- anywhere a transponder is currently required. That's all.

That leaves a lot of airspace in the US. Someone flying his C182 in eastern Wyoming may not bother with it as he does not see any benefit. Here in western Oregon, I see the benefit (weather and traffic via ADS-B IN) and have equipped my aircraft even though I (mostly) avoid the airspace where it is required.
Preparing for the End of the World, on a Budget
Pretty cool tech although I feel they may have missed the moment as AWS, Azure and GCP are becoming hypercompetitive to solve all things related to data/storage. Azure has been churning out major updates to its services and clearly taking inspiration from companies like Snowflake. AWS I think hesitated to compete with Snowflake as they were running on AWS anyway - win/win for them.

Snowflake had incredible timing as they hit the market just before CFO's and non-tech business leaders realized the cost and talent needed to pull off a datalake successfully was more than they'd like. Those that were sick of the management jumped to Snowflake fast and AWS/Azure never really responded until recently.

Awesome to see all the innovative takes on solving these extremely technical problems! I love it!
Troll Watch: Misinformation Around the Coronavirus
The thing is, if you've read a patent, then you (and your employer) now "know of" the patent. If you're later found to infringe the patent, the patent owner can ask for triple damages, since it was wilful infringement. But if you never read it, they can only ask for damages.

Given how many patents are vaguely worded, and how, um, interesting the decisions in patent cases sometimes come out, many companies decide that it isn't worth the risk.

Note well: IANAL. I've just been in companies that had this practice (don't read patents), and I remember why.
modern software development and best practices

Yes, that's all too familiar to me. The dogmatic cargo-culting buzzword-bingo "religion" whose only claim to fame is in effectively producing gargantuan Enterprise Quality™ software --- I mean solutions --- which everyone inevitably hates because they are ridiculously bloated and overengineered to the point that the simplest things take an absurd amount of time and energy, and also have abysmal UX too...

> A 100x slower compiler has a huge impact on productivity

Very true, but the article didn't mention a 100x slower compiler, they mentioned 100% (2x) slower one.

Technically that's a quantitative difference of degree, but it's so big as to be talking about qualitatively different developer experiences.
I think the primary problem is that the people who choose the office space are more extroverted than the folks inhabiting it. Or it could be money and control.

Well those magazines (Details and similarly GQ) try to project a young-and-successful image. They want the readers to think that's the target audience, or the real audience. It ties into interviewing young and successful artists, athletes...sometimes entrepreneurs too. It's aspirational.

So I could totally see them promoting a 28-year-old man to editor and thereby manufacture a bit of stardom to help with their image.
It's been a while since I've used Redshift, but isn't it still dependent on data coming in via a COPY from S3? Any sort of Redshift materialized view offering would depend on batches of data landing in an underlying table or tables. The closest service offering from AWS is probably using Kinesis analytics (or Flink on KA) using their flavor of streaming SQL to join Kinesis streams forming new ones.

> Would you be willing to have your Nation broken up into multiple pieces because some Tom, Dick or Harry doesn't like the way it is now?

As someone who conceivably sees this happening to his country in the relatively near future (English; Scotland leaving the UK), I'm not sure it's my right to prevent the secession of an identifiable group/country/region (the special status under Article 370 seems to suggest Jammu and Kashmir _might_ be such) against their will.

> Since the day India Abrogated Article 370 there hasn't been one major terror attack in Kashmir.

Only six months on from abrogation I'd be somewhat reluctant to draw any firm conclusions. Based on my limited understanding, major attacks do not seem to be have been of such a frequency that you would necessarily expect one to occur within that six month period.
Again, “company” is not the same as “each distinct political group within the company”. Anyone with experience at a large company will probably have examples of groups behaving against the perceive global because that was better within their group’s incentive structure.

As a simple example, how often is purchasing inordinately expensive because something was abused in the past and that group was told to make sure it never happens again? Or a sales group setting engineering up for failure because they personally had a huge financial incentive to do so?
It’s not irrational to value things differently. I place a huge premium on having a variety of drinks, snacks, and meals at my workplace. Far, far beyond the mere cost to purchase them. I make plenty of money, why would I add a huge time sink, hassle, and mental overhead for a bit of extra cash that I don’t really need?
First, airplanes come in a lot of different sizes, and many don't cost anywhere near millions. A quick search online shows that you can find a used Cessna 172 starting at $35k - and is about the same size as a car.

Second, just because an airplane is over your building, doesn't mean it's going to crash into it. Even in an emergency, airplanes can keep gliding. A car is more likely to hit you while you're on the sidewalk - does that mean you get to know the name and address of every person driving local streets?

Third, I don't see how pollution has anything to do with privacy.

I can see an argument for being able to report an airplane doing something unsafe. But that's literally what the FAA exists for, and they have ways to look up who's flying an aircraft — anonymous or not. I don't see a good argument to releasing owners' names and addresses publicly so people can do law enforcement themselves.
The overwhelming majority of Go code isn't written at Google, and just a glance at Github will show you that it isn't being used to "jerk off into template engines" or "increase clickthrough rate by 0.1%". This comment contributes nothing to the discussion.
I see why they needed more than the video. It's pretty dark and hard to see who exactly the individual is.
Sometimes standups just aren't the place. Because it all kinda depends on the work environment you're in. Are these devs surrounded by know it alls or genuine folks supporting each other?

If you want to try to make it work - try being the first person to say at your next standup "Hey I said I would get this done but I got blocked by this thing. Anyone have reference/documentation they can share so I can get unblocked?"

We're not all perfect so I know there's a part of the project that makes your head scratch or is blocking you. Come up with something to get the ball rolling. In the context of a standup its important everyone feels like they're in a safe environment. Anyways, just model the behavior and see what you get.

I know, I know - now you're the one in a vulnerable state. But that's why you're a leader. You do the things others are afraid to for the betterment of your team and the quality of your product.

This isn’t really true. Stents in patients with heart attacks have a clear mortality benefit except in certain high risk situations when bypass surgery has better outcomes.

Stents are quite routine and much, much, much easier to do than bypass surgery.

The problem is that outside of heart attacks, there isn’t good evidence for a mortality benefit from stents. So cardiologists are constantly searching for additional evidence that justifies stent use. And there isn’t much mortality benefit yet, but lots of other reasons why they might get used. But in those cases (like stable angina), almost no one would do bypass surgery, except for patients at very high risk of having a deadly heart attack.

So criticize indication creep but there are many clear times when stents absolutely should be used.
It’s not, actually. Noria has its own custom dataflow engine.

Not to mention an unrealistic threat of secession led to the deportation of up to 2 million mexican americans.

Which was tied to

> India and China both face a significantly more difficult geopolitical reality than the USA.

Both of them face separatism funded by foreign nations which adds an extra level of concern.

> but to act as though a USA like policy would work in countries with very different ground realities is being willfully arrogant.

If you think this is ignorant, go look up US views on free trade and protectionism. In the media, you'll see everyone say the US has always been pro-free trade. History shows otherwise.

President Abraham Lincoln declared, "Give us a protective tariff and we will have the greatest nation on earth." Lincoln warned that "the abandonment of the protective policy by the American Government ... must produce want and ruin among our people."

Almost all the commonly held beliefs we've been brainwashed to accept by the media are simply lies. Democracy? Ask the bolivians, venezuelans, iranians, etc. Freedom? Ask the slaves in libya or the poor slaving away in saudi arabia, kuwait, etc.

May be I missed it but can someone tell me what was the crime the company was committing ? Almost any company will have defensive strategies such as stalling LEOs and Warrants in whatever way they can. A lot of this is not really "crime" as in kidnapping people or shooting people dead in some alley.

Is having shell companies a crime ? I know a ton of bay area "startups" than engage in these sort of tricks to maximize the brand damage. Ask.com and other toolbar companies are great examples where they will just rebrand the same toolbar as X and sell it to 10 companies which were owned by same entity. Half the companies with "explosive" growth were using mass mailing techniques than involved spamming. Many used foreign companies to skirt US law related to spamming.

I think author is overthinking.
There's a similar open sharing service for tracking ships in the water: http://www.aishub.net/

AIS technology works similar to ADS-B, but the details of being on the water make reception a different problem than for planes. There's three or so major ground-based AIS tracking services out there that compete, and while AISHub isn't the biggest it is the most open.
I'm not sure what your argument is. Are you only opposing cutting off internet or are you opposed to kashmir's "occupation"?

There are many factors that make the abrogation the right move. We shouldn't be dividing a secular country for another Islamic state. Jammu and Leh should not be held back by religious based separatism. Even if Kashmir turns more violent, not giving into theocratic demands for another Islamic state is the right thing to do.

Maybe cutting off internet and house arrest of politicians was not the right moves, but neither was the status quo of perpetual autonomy and jihadi separatists.

Disclaimer, as I should add one. I'm no bjp supporter, and i hate the hindutva guys the same as I do the islamist crowd. After all, we call bjp making india a hindu pakistan. The word pakistan is derogatory here.
It's a legitimate service, and I owe them a lot. From allowing me to work with clients overseas up to finally bringing my family over to the states. Back then in bolivia, the only work available was PHP or C#/Java for offshore companies.

They were called odesk back then though.

One thing that's TERRIBLE about them though is that any contract that finishes, if your client forgets to leave any review or feedback, it'll count negative towards your score.

You could have worked a $25,000+ contract with a client, and if they just say thanks and forget to leave a review, it will impact you negatively. It's something I wish they would change.
Perhaps more interesting to me than UNIVAC itself is the system by which all the weather data it crunched was brought to it in the first place. Without the Internet, how was weather data transmitted across the country? Wireless ground stations? Primitive digital telephony? Simple synchronous voice communication? And after that, how was it fed into the machine? I assume not all weather stations in 1956 had adopted a standardized method of storing data.

If you can't bring the data to the machine, it can't tell you anything interesting about it.

The housing problem is a side effect of the things California gets right, which bring in a lot of wealth which drives prices up and the bigger picture things that it (not uniquely; the rest of the country does too) wrong, specifically, managing distribution of gains.

Ideally, you want to improve the latter without compromising the former, but this is made politically difficult because the people gaining from the former often aren't willing to take any risk to improve the latter, while those on the downside of the latter are relatively politically powerless, so the status quo is sticky.
It hasn't been about "the means of production" in a long time. When Marx wrote that, the primary barrier to the employees going into business for themselves was that a factory cost (in today's money) millions of dollars. The employees didn't have millions of dollars so they had to work for capitalists instead of going into business for themselves.

The reason you're not Facebook today isn't that you can't get ahold of some servers. The reason you're not CNN isn't that you can't afford a video camera sufficient for news reporting. The reason you're not Starbucks isn't that you lack the capacity to make coffee.

The reasons the workers can't strike out out their own without capital in the modern world are increasingly regulatory barriers and gatekeeping.

It would be a lot easier to build your own Facebook if you could bootstrap on their social graph with the permission of the users but not of Facebook, but then there's the CFAA and the DMCA etc. It would be a lot easier to build your own CNN if we had a system for small anonymous irreversible micropayments with correspondingly low transaction costs, but then there's the byzantine hellscape of financial regulations and KYC laws. It would be a lot easier to build your own Starbucks if you could start off by operating out of your own home, but tell that to zoning regulations that prohibit commerce in the residential areas where your customers live.

It's no longer about the means of production. Now the problem is that the regulatory barriers to entry give advantage to larger entities with more scale, but the larger the entity is the more people there are at the bottom of the pyramid.
