Totally. And it can often be unclear how to proceed when the design rules you do know conflict.

Ultimately I've learned over time it's about the process rules, not design rules. Follow the same logic design process each time refining it to be better knowing that the design rules will be bent and even broken at times.

Unfortunately, it’s hard to explain these things to techies who only see the world in their one-sided startupy way. The fact that there’re starving creatives who have already been massively marginalized by the likes of Spotify of this world, means nothing to these tech workers who only see everything as numbers, or a “business model” to “validate”.

(full disclosure, I’m a techie who’s gradually woken up to the idea that the tech might just be the most abused way to exploit people)

Fun story, when first developing the web socket protocol we had to deal with kind of nonsense (especially for large commercial routers that did "deep packet inspection"). The solution is that the websocket protocol essentially does this:

1. generate random key

2. send random key (no key exchange, just send the raw bytes)

3. starting sending data, encrypted using the key from (2)

This is because so many routers try to analyze traffic going through them (especially those big commercial ones with "deep packet inspection"), but are really bad at it. As a result providing arbitrary JS running on arbitrary webpages exact bit level control of the data stream would allow people to compromise routers. The same basic issue came up when java applets were first a thing and the result was significant restrictions on networking by applets

Alas the whole point of websockets was to give sites "arbitrary byte" streams so the solution was to make it so that while you had complete logical control of the bytes the actual bytes on the wire are opaque to the JS running in the browser. The goal was not to protect the privacy or confidentiality of the data stream, but to ensure that no existing router software could read the stream and then try to inspect it without knowing that they were parsing arbitrary data, and any new implementation that did try would have hopefully learned about the danger of parsing arbitrary data badly (hint: they did not)

not op - but I have been doing YT premium for about a month now, and find the music thing lacking immensely.

If I wasn't doing 30 hours of training / learning each week with YT I would not pay for premium. Yet I have paid for premium https://DI.fm for years and everyone tells me that spotify is really good at curation / playlists / discovering new stuff..

I could see if just using YT for random entertainment stuff not seeing real value in it overall - it could easily be replaced with videos hosted on FB or Insta or anywhere else basically for a lot of people.

> I don't quite understand, let's say I have a bunch of effects in my code, all depending on one another. Will that make a mess?

It depends entirely on what those effects and dependencies actually are. If you really want to, you can use an effect system as a dynamically scoped imperative language, just like you can write all your Haskell code in `IO` or use exceptions for control-flow in C++. The value proposition is that you have to do it on purpose.

I couldn't agree more, although I wouldn't be quite so hard on the language. It did have some strong points (for example, it was awesome for integrating with MS Office). To this day the GUI builder was the best I've seen. The current Mac stuff is more powerful, maybe, but the VB builder was way more intuitive and discoverable.

Back in those days, I (and many others) would use VB just to build the GUIs for C or C++ programs. It was that good.

Yes, you're right, but I don't know if it's possible to replace the tinybird component with anything local, perhaps there's a convenient alternative I'm not aware of (I'd never heard of tinybird before seeing it in the README's list of external services). Either way, the documentation doesn't have a lot of information about a local-only use case, so I can only imagine it would be inconvenient. If they add support for self hosted mail sources in the future, it may still be worth trying though.

Honestly, I only use plain extra firm silken tofu in pad thai. It browns easier and stays together better when scrambled in stir-fry than regular tofu. Also, it has a more palatable texture for Western eaters.

Another thing is availability. Grocery hypermarts like Whole Foods are embarrassing monocultures that lack diversity. Hell, they don't even sell basic pita bread of any kind at their flagship store in downtown Austin. WF maybe a bad example because many shoppers are more often about conspicuous consumption rather than quality, diversity, or choice and it's run by a ruthless corporation that only cares about maximizing profitability per shelf area.

While Trader Joe's (Aldi Nord) at least sells pita bread, they also don't carry the variety of Asian-store-like SKUs of different forms of tofu, seaweed, or sauces. Whether a particular city can sustain a particular ethnicity or regional grocer not served by mainstream and counterculture stores requires sufficient density of demand from recent migrants and adventurous foodies to keep it going. I don't think expecting TJ's or WF's to carry many types of tofu is itself reasonable if there's not enough demand or the store is particularly small (most TJ's are relatively small).

Go to almost any mainstream grocery store in America, and you will find it difficult to find a simple international ingredient like canned tahani. Most American grocery stores are provincial and so expecting them to offer different forms of tofu is several steps away from their current reality.

Here's to a hope there are more ethnic alternative stores like what Pier 1 imports was.

I do think most obesity should be treated as a mental health issue rather than a physical health issue.

The issue isn't that the person is obese - that's the symptom. The issue is that they're overheating. "What's driving me to overeat?" is the question they need to be asking themselves, and that answer will be the first piece of the puzzle.

These may be your sincere feelings, I've also absolutely got the right to feel insulted by the way you've chosen to express them. It's mean spirited to vent in such a way that you catch other people in the crossfire when you're airing your personal dislikes.

Saying that people with polyamoristic proclivities seek out other people because their partner "isn't good enough for monogamy" is an offensive mischaracterizastion of the kind of relationship I've been in for half a decade.
Ah - so, if you have not changed your mind on anything, then, regrettably, you left a number of things out of your "I'm saying" list, such as the business about there only being three relevant data points from Waymo's testing [1].

On the one hand, I can understand that it is difficult to keep track of everything you have said throughout your twists and turns, but on the other, it seems particularly important one to keep this one in mind as, if verified, it would be far more damning of Waymo than everything else you have said, combined!

Thanks for this. I've been following this space for about a year or two and was wondering why Iceberg was more popular in open source.

Over the past six months I got the impression that Delta is pulling ahead in the race as Iceberg is struggling to provide tools for people not in the JVM ecosystem. Delta is a lot more accessible in that way.

Telling people who couldn't muster the sustained willpower to lose weight through diet and exercise that they "just didn't want it enough" is rude and unhelpful. It's a little bit like telling bereaved parents they didn't pray hard enough for their deity to save the child. I'm happy for you, and hopefully the advice you're giving isn't some form of willpower woo-woo. The hard truth is that you were lucky; none of us can truly account for why we did or did not succeed at a practically achievable long-term goal. If the other 49 obese people had the capability to will themselves to health, they would have done so.

I agree with all of this. Databricks are also holding back features from open source Delta (like bloom filters), which is their right. But then you can't claim it is a community-driven open format, unless it is an animal farm version of that, where one of the versions is the Pig (some are more equal than others).

> .. the Himalayas already provide a great barrier between Hindus and Chinese Buddhists. I don't think there was a lot of movement between the two based on stories like journey to west.

Not sure if you're referring to Buddhism in general or Chinese Buddhism specifically.

Buddha was a Hindu by birth and was born in Lumbini, present day Nepal, so India side of the Himalayas, and spread in India before spreading out to the rest of the World. [0]

From the Wikipedia: He was born in Lumbini, present-day Nepal and grew up in Kapilavastu, a town in the Ganges Plain, near the modern Nepal–India border, and he spent his life in what is now modern Bihar and Uttar Pradesh.

Bihar and Uttar Pradesh are in India.

Buddhism first spread in India, when many Hindus became Buddha's followers, and then to the rest of the World.

DuckDB (lightweight, non-JVM, many language bindings) supports querying from Iceberg now.

You still need Spark to generate the Iceberg metadata though.
The math on #1 doesn't check out. If you update 2 bytes in the record only 28 are still written. But are only 28 written in either case? Does Postgres not write out entire pages?

It gets much more complicated when you consider full page writes, checkpoints, HOT, and multiple rows being updated at once.

For #3 it really depends on a lot of factors what the best approach is and if it's even worth your time.. But a typical approach that isn't mentioned is to just make sure you acquire locks in a deterministic order between transactions you don't want to deadlock each other. This will reduce concurrency(which is the entire point of the deadlock detection feature), but you can push the queue into the DB(behind the lock) which will minimize latency if you are done round-tripping.
Added sugar doesn't have as many nutrients, and is absorbed by the body much more quickly.
Typically what happens is that consultants implement the IT systems for these departments. Unfortunately it wouldn’t surprise me if the government got snowed into thinking they needed this app / there are kickbacks involved behind the purchasing decision.

Still, it is possible the app has a legit reason like the OS wallet implementation is missing support for their region or OS wallet support is incomplete in some way and this bridges that gap.

18m does seems a tad steep though considering that RDW payed UDL to build a sample reference app for free and one would expect that to be the basis for any 3p implementation delivered. Like that would be 36 very highly paid engineers which is a lot for 2 apps. It’s possible the 18m was also for the backend changes to enable the app which would maybe be more legit and be required changes for the builtin integration. Are you sure it was 18m just for the app?

This is transaction 101. You simply lock the row via a SELECT … FOR UPDATE when you read the value.

Any application that actually cares about consistency of its data must be doing this.

Or just do it one step so the update increments the value in place. That way you have an implicit lock.

"The best way to store Apache Arrow dataframes in files on disk is with Feather. However, it’s also possible to convert to Apache Parquet format and others."

The best way to build your own non-JVM lakehouse is to use Iceberg for metadata, Parquet for the Data, Query with DuckDB using Arrow tables (read Parquet directly into Arrow is very low cost), and then use Arrow->Pandas or Polars (either directly or via a service with Arrow Flight).

If you put Feather in the mix, the whole Python lakehouse stack doesn't currently work.

I am grateful they left it at "inspired by python", as I find python with its libraries and all its warts strangely complex and indigestible. Then, from a tooling and ecosystem perspective, wildly frustrating and unfriendly to work with.
So I'm glad they took the chance and made something that's tailored to their use case and gives them the space to diverge and optimise where and when it makes sense.

Also C# is available as a scripting language for Godot, which makes a lot more sense than python from a performance perspective.
Sounds great!
