There’s also SDF (Signed Distance Fields) modeling, such as present in multiple modeling tools like Adobe Substance 3D Modeler [0] or WOMP [1].

I suppose this is similar to voxels in that the data is stored in a uniform grid, but the way it gets rendered is different.

You know what's really convenient? Never having to stop to fuel up for something like 90% of the miles I drive.

I spend way more time fueling my ICE than my EV. It's a pain to have to go out of my way to a fueling station. It's far less convenient than just plugging in every few days at home or at the office.
We all want more housing but zoning laws and NIMBYs prevent us from building proper urban housing. Yet there’s nothing stopping someone from building a 6bd/4ba house in my neighborhood and renting the whole thing out for $1600/rm.

> I doubt the majority of SREs at Google have even read the "Google SRE book".

That's absolutely true, but by design. SRE already had exceptional horizontal knowledge transfer before any book. The book was published (specifically, published) to extend that knowledge transfer outside of Google's own walls so the rest of the industry could also benefit.

I was a SWE-SRE for several years and absorbed a lot just through talks and postmortems. I left Google and joined another big org that was a ... bit ... less far along in its SRE ambitions. I couldn't convince a single person to read the book, even after linking to specific sections to explain why e.g. jitter is important to have in tandem with backoff. Nobody cares, they have boxes to tick and janky bullshit to ship.

Most people are not interested in learning from books these days, inside or outside Google, but at least inside Google you can learn from an unbroken lineage of experienced SREs.

If you're trying to build out an SRE org in your own company, you're better off hiring one ex-Google Senior SRE than you would be if you bought everyone a copy of the book and two weeks of formal training. Actually embedding real-world experience into your teams is the most effective form of knowledge transfer available.
Yes, definitely agreed. My wife and I haven't ever used a public charger with just a 120V outlet in our garage, and I suspect that would apply to many other people as well. For a great many more, a 240V charger is easily installable in any garage or driveway and dramatically increases how much you can charge overnight.

That's obviously not going to work for everyone, but between the two of them it drastically reduces the number of charging stations needed in suburban areas.

Little value? It's one of the assumptions that lead us to the prediction of the CMB which we then found. It's proved very fruitful, I'd say. Without the cosmological principle, modern cosmology is a complete non-starter. I'm not aware of any serious theories whatsoever that even attempt to explain anything without the cosmological principle or at least an approximation thereof.
Pretty sure that stat is incorrect. There were years in which 1/4 of available supply was bought by investors but that doesn't mean they ever owned 1/4 of homes. And they don't buy and sit on them. They renovated and rented or sold them. That's perfectly fine.

And for people that overdid it, it was. The modern sedentary lifestyle starting from that era's combo (office / clerical jobs + stationary entertainment with books and magazines, and later tv and radio).

>But now everybody does it.

If we count only fully-read books, the average American adult reads just over 5 books per year. (...) A less-than-ideal 46 percent finished zero books last year and 5 percent read just one.
Why doesn't the government build and sell housing at a small profit? Here in Dubai, the largest housing construction companies are or were government owned. It's one of the ways the government can have zero income tax despite oil being less than 1% of its economy.

I was disappointed that there wasn't a picture of the repair, but an insulated wire would have been plenty indeed.

I've let the magic smoke out of several MOSFET devices in a QRP SSB Transceiver kit, and had jumper wires all over the place. The electrons are too dumb to know if it's an insulated wire, or a PCB trace, as long as the layout is good.

One thing this does enlighten me about is why physical air gaps are built into so many PSU PCB's between the high and low voltage sides, with often only a transformer crossing the gap.
Another comment mentions this classic meme:

> Consulting service: you bring your big data problems to me, I say "your data set fits in RAM", you pay me $10,000 for saving you $500,000.

A lot of industry work really does fall into this category, and it's not controversial to say that going the wrong way on this thing is mind-blowing. More than not being controversial, it's not confrontational, because his comment was essentially re: the industry, whereas your comment is directed at a person.

Drive by sniping where it's obvious you don't even care to debate the tech itself might get you a few "sick burn, bro" back-slaps from certain crowds, or the FUD approach might get traction with some in management, but overall it's not worth it. You don't sound smart or even professional, just nervous and afraid of every approach that you're not already intimately familiar with.
I think one problem that arises from practical work is: Databases seem to be biased towards either transactional (including fetching single records) or aggregational workload, but in reality both are used extensively. This also brings difficulty in data modelling, when we DEs are mostly thinking about aggregating data while our users also want to investigate single records.

Actually, now that I think about it, we should have two products for the users, one let them to query single records as fast as possible without hitting the production OLTP transactional database, even from really big data (find one record from PB level data in seconds), one to power the dashboards that ONLY show aggregation. Is Lakehouse a solution? I have never used it.
Isn’t that a tale as old as the internet? Hosting adult traffic is painful in all respects, and they get a premium for it.

I never really bothered much before to check previous articles on the same topic by the same reporter. It's interesting that there was an article from this same reporter in November 2019 discussing US tech giants investing in housing (https://www.bbc.com/news/business-50295130). Then, there was another article about housing prices in April 2022 (https://www.bbc.com/news/business-60921223) and 2023 (https://www.bbc.com/news/business-64178954), and another in October 2023 (https://www.bbc.com/news/business-67152845), and then one in January 2024 (https://www.bbc.com/news/business-68035274). I just never really thought about looking at previous articles by the same reporter before.

I look forward to an article when housing prices retreat rather than increase.
Imagine one day you did something on your laptop two months ago and you want to find out where you did it. If you don't remember, it will do it for you. If you want a detailed daily summary of your activities, it will do that for you. If you want to summarize a meeting or your university lectures in detail, it will do that for you. People were afraid of this technology because it wasn't private, and that's completely understandable. Now, imagine having the same technology but completely local. All your data would remain confidential and encrypted, and you could ask it any question about your digital activity.
I believe it! Seems reasonable it would take that long for a sole proprietor to spend the price of a house (?) on transporting a gimmicky, delicate machine by boat, ending up an ocean away from anyone who could service it.

This is a good post, but it's somewhat myopically focused on typical "business" data.

The most interesting applications for "big data" are all (IMO) in the scientific computing space. Yeah, your e-commerce business probably won't ever need "big data" but load up a couple genomics research sets and you sure will.
You talk about demand for home ownership as if it is entirely induced via economics rather than inherently valuable. I don’t understand why? There are reasons why home ownership is desirable neglecting economics entirely. Owning a home gives you more control over the space you live in, in terms of the ability to customize the space.
It's funny yeah but it makes sense and is not really a problem.

You would write a compiler in the language that is the closest to your perfect. Trying to fix the original language by making a "clone" of it and adding/removing features to your liking.

That is what I want to change here by making a very simple language that if someone would like they could just fork it and add/remove the needed features instead of building one from scratch.

If this idea won't work then at least a very simple compiler would be a good learning resource, so a win win anyways.

> and convenient as filling up a gas tank in 1-2 minutes.

But you can’t just walk away from a gasoline car when it’s filling. And gas stations aren’t very attractive destination to do much of anything.

Where I’m from almost every roadside McDonalds has fast charging. And almost every road trip I’ve taken where I’ve had to fast charge we’ve taken the kids to a McDonalds for a short break and finished charging long before we were finished eating and doing bathroom breaks.

I haven’t really owned an ICE. (Used my parents cars quite a lot though). Our first car was EV 9 years ago. But I’m fairly sure ICE would be significantly less convenient for us than EV. Especially with the newer one we recently got that has a more reasonable battery size, which we’ve never even had to fast charge once. Even on road trips. We never go anywhere we don’t need/want to go anyway. So having to go to a gas station just to fill the car with gas would be a significant inconvenience.

You wouldn’t want a phone that you’d have to take to a phone station to fill with phone juice would you? Even if it lasted longer on a fill-up (say two weeks)

There eventually has to be JavaScript somewhere, and once you have to use that for any dynamic frontend, might as well use a proper JS/TS framework.

Not being a frontend person first, I have learned to choose whatever they are using these days. It will be hard to hire, onboard, and maintain anything that strays too far for the normal patterns they use.

Yes, it's more about organizing your UI code/templates similar to a React codebase than running Go code in browser.

Thx, that was a huge brain fart, I meant each revolution.
I think of it in terms of degrees of freedom and statistical likelihood. If I throw a bunch of marbles on the floor and a few of them form a interesting shape that is one thing as they can only move on a plane. If I throw them in the air it is less likely to form a circle as now they are free to move in multiple directions and are not constrained to the plane. If 4 of those marbles align that is less likely than 20 of them happening to do so in a recognizable shape. 20 marbles in the air, each one being in just the right place relative to the 19 others in order to look like a circle when they can be in any position in space (vs. limited to a flat plane) is exceedingly unlikely.

Even more unlikely is that an arc appears next to the ring, that would make me start to wonder if something is affecting the marbles I throw into the sky.

Let me try one:

"If you can't do your statistical analysis in 1 to 5 TB of data, your methodology is flawed"

This is probably more about human limitations than math. There's a clear ceiling in how much flexibility we can use. That will also change with easier ways to run new kinds of analysis, but it increases with the logarithm of the amount of things we want to do.

In a few words, Cobalt is a de-bloated Chromium designed to run YouTube TV. It's smaller and faster than launching it in the platform's browser.

If you have a smart TV/set-top box/streaming stick/etc bought in the past few years, the YouTube app is most likely running inside Cobalt. You can develop HTML5 applications that can run in Cobalt, but it supports only a subset of html/css/js stuff you'd expect from a browser.
