Can someone summarize Snowflake's unique technical value? I'm quite familiar with both Redshift (I would summarize it as Postgres adapted to sharded, columnar OLAP functioning) and BigQuery (there is a famous paper explaining the architecture). Also with more traditional databases such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, and columnar OLAP databases like Vertica. I explored the website a little bit, but couldn't construe a clear statement of the technical architectural value. Some of the comments here are valuable, but I'm missing a clearer "big picture" overview. Thanks!
Algebra.
Seems perfectly legitimate to me. Returning, former employees, are a thing.
That's exactly what I'd love to have, just without the opinionated differences in things like rebase, staging, branching, and similar.
It's similar to winter driving in some ways, but different in others. For example, you don't have to worry about burrying your wheels in winter driving and tread can make a big difference; summer tires are awful in snow. I drove a car with bald tires once in the snow and it terrifying trying to go up or down hills.

is that the case though. I used to work in a company where we developped some apps in C++/Qt/QML and some others in Electron and for similar apps the development efforts were pretty much the same

Conversely, isn’t literally any use case that doesn’t feed your schema something you can’t really support?

Went through your docs and the pre-populated “narratives” or query templates are thoughtful and probably capture a wide load of initial analytics (and will get better), however it’s a pretty narrow solution.

I guess technically if you have 1 table with support tables of metadata you are closer to a traditional relational DB, so maybe this isn’t as restrictive as it seems.

Excited to see your product iterate!
I feel I might be too jaded to comment on this, so let me just preface this as the view from outside silicon valley

> our vision to build an extensive database and graph of knowledge for humanity, including practical commercial tools and community features to aid discovery and decisions.

So you, and your, what? half dozen phds? want to produce a graph of human knowledge. Okay fine. That's a lofty goal, let's set you up like Harry Seldon and check in on you in a thousand years. Oh! You're going to do the almost impossible and have practical commercial tools in our life time. Ok.

Look, I'm not saying that Golden is going to be unsuccessful, it's probably going to be very succesful, they've got those guys that backed that misogynistic online frat house behind them, so there's a certain level of assured successs. I just question why blatantly lying about your goals is a pre-requisit for funding in silicon valley.

Ding ding ding, we have a winner. ;-)
I was at a wonderful Hacktober event last year (thanks, Setlog and FOSS-AG!) and think some pretty good stuff came out of it. The incentive to submit low quality PRs became quite obvious quite quickly however.

My gut says that Hacktober probably spawns some productive contributions, but most of them would likely have been submitted anyway.
This isn't some backseat driver telling DO how to run their event better. This is literally someone who is supposed to be benefited by the event (an open source maintainer) who is saying the event has negative value for them. They have skin in the game, they're doing this for free compared to the DO employees who are being paid to administer the event.
It's trackpad probably isn't as good as that of the MBP.
This seems like an eminently sensible suggestion and I'm perplexed as to why Digital Ocean wouldn't already have chosen to implement it.

Pretty sure refugees are more concerned with physical security. And migrants with job security.
I have never received a response to abuse complaints about zombie machines hitting my network, not once. If you run a website or network you would do well to add the entire DO ip space to your firewalls blacklist.
Employers, in general, just want to hire "smart" people and the BA degree has become symbolic of something that "smart" people have. So every employer uses it as a way to just screen out the "dumb" people. At the same time, employers increasingly want new employees to have some sort of skill set that can be applied to the job.

If you listen to complaints from new grads you can see a common trend - "college did not prepare me for the real world", "college did not give me the skills I need to succeed" and so on.

This is why I say we need to move away from the one size fits all view of college. We need BA degrees that are "career focused" and we need BA degrees that are more academic focused. It may also be wise to have a hybrid version as well.
At $100 for '020 and $300 for '040 I don't see many hobbyists rushing for those. You can get pretty damn nice FPGA for that sort of money, even if I understand it's not quite the same.

Classic Goodhart’s law: “When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure."

I don’t know the solution for this. But sheer number of PRs/commits is obviously meaningless. We just don’t have a better (cheaper) proxy to latch on to.
It's tough to say that though. It's not like before Mr. Floyd's murder this employee was foisting things upon everyone else.

Everyone's morals are the driving force in their life. Whatever you want to say, this much is generally true. If your morals come into conflict with something new your company is doing, you either speak up (and face consequences) or stay silent (and fail in upholding morality).

That's not an easy choice. What would we do if we worked at IBM in the 1930s and 1940s for example?
How would this comply with the law if an external candidate would have no chance to pass anyway (due to work experience required with an internal tool not available to the public)?

Wouldn't posting a job that an external candidate has no chance of obtaining still violate the intent of that law?
I have a feeling there would be some problems with people submitting valid and helpful PRs but they aren't merged in time to be counted.
College/University is easier than high school, and high school is no emotional safety bubble. High school is probably the most emotionally intense and punishing period of one's life in my opinion. School gets increasingly worse and worse from the first year until the last year of HS, and college is a relief.
I wonder if the search/discovery/queue for Google TV will also work with Plex and services like Trakt.

Currently on Apple TV I’m just using each service’s app (Netflix, Plex, Amazon) to watch different shows, but one UI that kept track of everything would be neat.

> Based on NZ's past actions I would bet they come out of total lockdown sometime in mid 2022 or about 2 years from now.

Most of New Zealand is at "Alert Level 1" which means there aren't any restrictions or mandates, but since COVID-19 exists you're asked to please consider wearing masks on public transport, and try to keep your distance when possible.

For now (likely until next Wednesday) the city of Auckland is at "Alert Level 2" with a prohibition on large gatherings (more than 100 people in one place together) and a requirement to wear masks etc. as a result of an outbreak that happened there in August.

It looks like I might be resurrecting "STOICAL", which was targeted at Linux, for Windows...http://stoical.sourceforge.net/documentation.php

It would be nice to see it run under Linux... the C source looks too much like typical "be as clever as possible" macro magic, which my non-C adjusted brain can't hack.

I'll re-implement in either assembler, or free pascal.

The reason is that STOICAL implements types, arrays, and dictionaries in what seems to be a quite reasonable and sane matter.

It does type checking when you want, and seems like it could do object oriented as well, if I can push it that way.
I'm not missing that point, I'm asking whether it's true. The right way to answer that would probably be to find out how many of the new submitters from previous years went on to continue to become valuable contributors.
Snowflake’s value is that they provide the same technical products as amazon/google/etc, but are not amazon/google/etc. Some shops like buying into the google ecosystem, some are afraid of vendor lock in.

Probably other things, but many companies exist just to be alternatives to faang. If you’re good enough, you surpass that intention.
I get that this is aggravating, but I think the hyperbolic hammering on the event that's presumably about promoting open source is misguided.

Opt-in could help. So could better access control tools from GitHub.

DO could make it so that users have to use a specific tag on the PRs; there are tons of ways maintainers could filter on that.

DO could switch the prizes to be something less likely to draw spam than a t-shirt would - like free cloud resources.

TLDR; in the spirit of software - let's iterate on this imperfect event instead of junking it outright.

I suppose there are only a few words that end in tty, but I was a little surprised this wasn't a GPU enhancement to the already nice Kitty [http://www.9bis.net/kitty] which is based on Putty [https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/], both Windows programs.
I'm sure there's a bump in non-spam contributions as I have submitted them and know others who have too, but I suspect it is a small fraction compared to the T-shirt spammy seekers as numbers have grown over the years.

I myself have submitted small PRs during Hacktoberfest but they were still meaningful corrections and in addition to at least 5 significant contributions. We do need better signalling. I tend to pick projects I already follow or have been tagged for Hacktoberfest.

I would not recommend someone who can't change a tire drive on sand. Most of the time you are going to be driving a truck if you want to go on sand, which will have truck highway tires and can handle lower pressures just fine. We regularly run down at 17-18psi with standard truck highway tires when on sand.
They literally checked for a label with text "invalid" and that's it. The OP, for example, used the label "spam" so it doesn't count. Simply closing the PR without merging or commenting doesn't count. Any other text label doesn't count.

So yeah, I suspect it's massively undercounting.

The good thing about this mechanism is that you just need CSS in order to declare your components.

The script will run only if you have elements with matching selectors. So you may have component libraries. Browser will instantiate only used components.
You're completely ignoring the fact that a large part of the user base of these products explicitly buys these products because they don't have these options. Windows attempted to add UAC control to the OS so that people wouldn't install random files from websites without being notified of the changes being made and browsers tried to add systems where users had to go into the options and turn off protections in Windows Defender to be able to install. What was the end result? These websites just started offering tutorials that showed users how to turn off those protections and bypass them completely. If you give people a way to bypass security, they'll do it in order to get to what they think they want. The problem is that most people don't understand the unintended consequences of those actions. That's the entire reason why people trust Apple to make those decisions on their behalf.

> The only for-profit knowledge services that survive with their soul intact

I agree about the corrupting influence of VC. The following isn't a super popular opinion on HN lately, but this is exactly why I've been a believer in Medium since they launched their subscription service. It's the rare startup where I could see their financial incentives and also think those incentives would be good for me as a reader. They made the knowledge the product and removed the incentive to use the knowledge as a sales pitch for some other product, i.e. content marketing. And they have to constantly push for articles that qualify as subscription worthy. That means focus on quality. I don't think they've tipped over yet, but what I've seen so far is that the more subscribers Medium gets the more they spend to get better and better articles. And as the payouts to authors get better, better authors come on board.

This is called opt-in and is suggested in the article.
"It takes me longer in $LANGUAGE" != "I'm not productive in $LANGUAGE"

Some things are just faster to develop in some languages because they have different baseline capabilities. Try parsing and processing a lot of text input in C versus the same task in Perl. Assuming similar competency in both languages (hell, you don't even have to be fully competent in Perl for this, just not a total novice) and the Perl solution will come out faster unless you've already spent a lot of time doing specifically text parsing and processing in C (which is not its primary use-case for many, if not most, day-to-day C programmers).

Sweden only borders Norway and Finland, which are both stable countries with amicable relationship with Sweden. Also most of the border is arctic forest with very few people.

It may be harder than NZ, but closing borders should be much easier for Sweden than Germany, Turkey, or Thailand. They all fared better than Sweden.
Yeah but targeted is more lucrative and all companies want is more dollars. Anything that generates less is not even considered.

It's so bad it basically makes untracked ads unviable. With billboards it's simply the most lucrative option available.

By the way in Belgium people already found face tracking display billboards so even untracked billboards will soon be a thing of the past.
Right, that relies on the maintainers knowing that they are "expected" to do the extra work to tag those with special tags, otherwise closed PRs count as "good".
> It's like we learned nothing from the wholesale give away of our airways to corporate interests.

What giveaway?

EM spectrum is already owned by the public. But it's scarce, so it's tightly regulated, and bands are licensed. This already gives the public the ultimate control over Starlink: governments can, at any time, take away Starlink's ability to operate over their territory.

> Compare this opportunity to the magnitude of life changing innovations the GPS public good brought us.

GPS satellites are a public good. Civilian-use GPS receivers are private products.

And sure, one day maybe it'll make sense for there to be government-operated Internet satellites. But before that happens, it'll first make sense to have the government be the ISP and the cellular telephony provider. If you're worried about private control over the Internet, you're barking at the wrong ISO/OSI layer. The Internet is already a quasi-public-good due to the intersection of laws and Internet's distributed nature. The forces that want to control it are companies like Google and Facebook, that try to make Internet less distributed where it matters. Not Starlink.

> We've given away space.

It's funny to say that when talking about a product whose primary reason for being is to open up space for everyone. It's like everyone forgot that Starlink exists to fund Starship R&D. It's literally trying to give us space, so that we truly have it for the first time ever.
Merging a PR requires effort from the maintainer.

I frequently perceive a sense of entitlement from drive by PR contributors, as if they are giving a gift to the maintainer, when in reality, it often takes more time for the maintainer to test, review, and give feedback on contributions than if they’d done it themselves.

I imagine the people spamming repositories for a T-shirt are the same people who will harass maintainers to “just merge it already.”
That would be way too easy to game.
I learned more about how to think from studying Euclid's Elements than I did from most of my other college classes. The professor was very up-front that it is a model for how our notion of the world can be built up from some basic assumptions. It actually made me much better at everything else, more so than explicitly studying higher-level calculus would have.

It also helps drive home the idea that what a thing is is not the same as our conceptual model.
For the rest of us, why aren't they needed in Sweden and Norway?
This is exactly the situation for most business professionals. We don't need to know how the software works behind the scenes, we simply need to know how to use the software and understand the bigger picture - what does the data mean and so on.
Most of the PRs I make outside of work and personal projects are to obscure libraries I found useful, which usually have a maintainer whom awakens from their slumber once every few lunar cycles.
Making the whole thing opt-in would be ideal, but failing that there ought to be a simple way to opt an entire repository out.
Doesn't that, by your own admission, mean that people care about X and not Y? If people don't care about Y, why should manufacturers be forced to appeal to the fraction of people that do?
Risk management. When every entry level position has 1000 bachelor's degree grad applicants to them why would you consider hiring someone without one? Then they build a resume and you only hire from junior pool when filling senior positions.
As an open source maintainer, I'd gladly sift through a mountain of spammy PRs (heck closing 4 per hour, as called out in the article, is almost zero trouble), if it means even a handful of real significant progress and issues fixed and potential future maintainers.
Now's your chance everybody: Someone has uploaded the source code to GitHub, no torrent needed now. If you want to be the first unauthorized person to ever file a PR against Windows, you have the opportunity.
