I guess by games you mean console games,mobile games are huge now. I have a steam deck and bought all nintendo and sony portables in the past,would be great if I can play some on my iPhone,which is always available to me.

One can be good at writing code at a young age,and it is not rare to meet such people. However,writing software and working with others,these skills come with ages. Ages of hard working and love and sweat.I am 36 now and just beginning to see things different and more fundamentally.

most likely misused pandas / numpy,as long as you stay in numpy land,it is quite fast.

Re:Practical SQL for Data Analysis on Monday May 03, 2021 @01:43PM (#27028203)
it seems the only reason people on hn hate sql is that they don't understand sql and/or already buy in another toolset,if you only have a hammer at hand,everything is a nail
fun fact: Mr Stonebraker doesn't know how to write code
Teradata does that too
Re:What Does It Take to Track a Million Cell Phones? on Wednesday July 19, 2017 @11:38AM (#14805050)
this method will only work with GSM network because 1.GSM networks doesn't verify BTS 2.GSM encrypt keys are cracked and all over the internet. Users of other kind of networks should not worry about this kind of hack. Actually here in China a fake BTS a.k.a 伪基站 can be easily purchased online.
Re:Baidu Takes FPGA Approach to Accelerating SQL at Scale on Wednesday August 24, 2016 @10:22PM (#12356609)
I guess Baidu hired some former Netezza guys and they decided to copy/steal from their former company to meet with their KPIs,which is quite common here in China
Re:Kino by Haruki Murakami on Wednesday March 04, 2015 @10:55PM (#9149142)
"Kino" is the protagonist's name as well as the name of the bar he run. It may be interpreted as an identfity, an armor and a comfortable place hidden in a crowded world. It provides a perfect hideout for Kino where he doesn't have to face the reality. I wonder if he has been suppressing his feelings when he found out about his wife and his colleague or she left a void in his heart and he is incapable of having any emotions until that rainy night.

According to my understanding ,Teradata has already supported these so-called "modern" features for several years.
