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."

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.
