Why would Snowflake develop and release this? Doesn't this cannibalize their main product?

This feels like a contentless article. They gave a statistic and crafted a narrative based on one person’s experience, which leaves me with many more questions than answers.

"Pro" is a funny qualifier for a game console. The definition has morphed from "for professionals" to "more expensive" or "more capable."

I’m a big fan of chezmoi (https://www.chezmoi.io/) which is a very capable dotfile manager. Chezmoi supports some useful advanced capabilities like work/home profiles and secrets manager integration.

Can it automate a cutout of Michael Jordan attached to a model train set?

In my opinion, psql is the "perfect" terminal database client. It's fast, has the ability to easily switch between wide and narrow row formats, and has commands for the things I do frequently.

I have often wanted psql to work with other databases, because the other CLI clients are either bare-bones, or just plain unusable.

I don't think I even knew what those "Easter Island" statues were called until I started playing Gradius games.

I heard a story about an Intel fab in Arizona that would always produce bad silicon at a certain time a day. After some investigations it was determined that a train passed by at that time every day causing enough seismic activity to disrupt the manufacturing process.

Actually, I love this. I remember having a teeny tiny phone back then (not quite a Zoolander size), and it was a lot of fun. Now everything is a boring rectangle of glass. Bring back the fun!

I find it amusing that they suggest DALL-E, which typically generates lovecraftian nightmare images, for making children's story illustrations.

Wouldn't it be a more compelling product if you sold the model, not the model-making tool? If I was the city of Portland, I would rather just buy the pre-made Portland model than have an intern build it with CityEngine.

Yeah, they're old, but are the talking points wrong?

As ubiquitous as zlib is, I wonder why it’s not implemented in hardware like many audio and video codecs are.

Don't forget to vaccinate the wild deer and other animals that catch and spread COVID.

He's planning for Wifi, but not A/C. Best of luck to this fellow, but I'm not sure his priorities align with most folks in this part of the country.

Can someone have a gambling addiction? I've often heard that gambling addiction is a real problem, so why can't social media be addictive? Social media and mobile games like to use similar "engagement" techniques as slot machines, for example.

Pylance is much faster and can index a large virtualenv without issue, IMO

According to Gruber's article, you can use these as wired headphones by plugging in a "Lightning to 3.5mm headphone jack cable," but otherwise I agree with you. "Built to last" means more than the material choices (metal vs plastic), but also whether or not you can swap out the batteries.

"O.k. Google, execute order 66"

I got this too, and I've gotten it on other websites that are very popular. I can't imagine that any of these sites would intentionally host an advertisement that would make it unreadable.

The solution is to delete Safari's history and cookies. Alternatively you can use private browsing.

My kids are perfectly happy watching the same episodes over and over and over.

Xey McXface is a canary for detecting naming contests within an organization.

And Dallas's owner, Jerry Jones, has stated that it's "absurd" to say there's a link between CTE and football.

Was the absence of Dallas Cowboys data truly a mistake?

I don't know about Manta, but this is the entire point of HDFS. It easier to move code than data.

I'm pretty sure, in 1901, gay meant:

keenly alive and exuberant : having or inducing high spirits <a bird's gay spring song>
