Or even better one: Delphi (if you were into pascal)

"I predict we'd end up mostly back where we are." So do I.

I look back with nostalgia when Obama was using Blackberry (with some extra security). I just wonder what should world leaders use today…

This is why it is a good idea to do “set options(warn=2)” to turn warnings into errors & easily spot problems.

Is there any “penalty” when using Live Photo mode as compared to normal mode?

One more funny story: we used to have some weird errors from time to time, when someone accidentally committed code with some letter L placed randomly in the code. We soon happened that it was a result of people blocking windows machine (win L), when somehow the letter L got propagated to the IDE running under Linux in VirtualBox. Yeah, we used Linux on top of Windows machines back then…

Another weird thing: some programs like to capture key combinations that are used to input some diacritics. It is exceptionally bad when it’s a mouse driver, and even worse when it happens on your company laptop where you have no admin rights to remove it…

This is the direction where most BI work is heading for: you need a team of data engineers that can make sure that the data for your BI dashboards is delivered and in a good quality. Everything else that doesn’t need it is probably simple enough to be run as some PowerBI dashboard on top of production DB. I think today most effort in those heavier BI cases is spent on data transformations and making sure that data flows/batch jobs run uninterrupted.

same here! i was going up to hundreds of new files for my notes. very comfortable!

This is spot on! I think sometimes if you do same thing 3 times it is already better to script it, unless you are sure that no further modifications will take place. Scripting will ensure reproducibility and it is invaluable when you can follow your logic later when you already forgot how you come up with that chart.

I am surprised that nobody mentioned non-alcoholic wheat beers. They really taste better than other kinds of non-alcoholic beers. Bavaria for instance is really tasty.

One hour later and the onion still hasn’t caramelised

It looks like it doesn't work with non-english languages.

Could it work the other way round? Optimizing complex games by applying PCA? I suppose the feature engineering could be tricky here...

How his compares to other columnar stores of this kind? e.g. MariaDB ColumnStore? others?

bear in mind that Clikchouse will quickly fall short when squeezed into traditional star schema model (it's very inefficient on multiple joins, probably even can't handle more than 1 at the same time). You would really need a dabase engine that is columnar first but still operate on SQL without too much hidden pitfalls, and that is quite often challenging

On a side note: some while ago MacOS was showing battery status for bluetooth connected headphones. Now it doesn't. Is there any way to turn it on again? On the other hand: iPhones are still showing battery level.

"it is interesting to see, that physically, Windows 95 can be connected to the internet. But this connection is practically useless"

It could be also quite unpleasant. The TCP/IP stack that Win95 was using had plenty of bugs (e.g. ping of death) that could allow someone to remotely freeze Win95 box.

Although, today no one would exploit win95 machines in the wild...

did something similar, with delphi, using winapi but also used opportunity to learn network sockets so the daemon was controlled using telnet. and instead of deploying it to the lab I was just showing it to those who were interested, so didn’t run into problems with teachers :)

Ps. cd opening was there too :)

What about Belters?

There is somehow related posting from 3 years ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21906727

It is of course good that MS has a interview process that favors really smart people. But it doesn't mean that automatically all the work at MS will be flawless. There is much more then that.

And people are even joking recently about this: https://i.redd.it/jhr5tv5ls2e61.jpg

I have a friend who was lucky enough to present himself and get such position. the reason was that the other guy made some mistake in the formal process (missed some required sheet of paper).

I spotted the same thing :) that pistol and rocket launcher are quite memorable :)

And this is why big enterprises are moving out of data warehouse model for processing all the data and prefer a data lake concept. It is better to centralize some aspects of the data, but definitely not all (like common relational model for all sources, as it is in data warehouse). The data warehouse model quickly becomes super expensive to maintain and evolve.

Remarkable haven't yet delivered the 2.0 device. Let's first see when it appears on the market. I has been delayed twice so far. So far it's in "pre-order" mode.

I think their transpiler from typescript to ecmascript 7 has a bug when using web components with Angular

Doesn’t it violate google search terms? If I setup it locally, would I have to solve captchas all the time afterwards?
