“Paul, your wife is calling. It is an emergency.”

“Later. We’ve got a lot of work to do”

I don't get the constant "we're screwed" rhetoric. Why do you think this?

I hope it's the next step on. Goggles 2010 would compare the photo for similarities with other photos (I guess) where I'd like to think this would know the objects within the photo. This would likely improve better feedback. I'm likely wrong, but you never know.

My guess? a smart phone that has machine vision built in? ten four? sounds like tensor flow - machine learning.

Interesting how the search box grew to include images...

Interesting thanks, I'll look into it. Your earlier comment has sent me down a Postgresql logicdecode/Kafka/Hadoop rabbit hole. Funny where you end up.

Is this an observation or have you done/seen this in action?

I ask because for my next project I'd like to tackle the issue of having to keep lots of Databases up to date with their stored procedures. Kind of wanted a common library of procs that any DB can access. I've seen third party Software do DB versioning etc but too expensive for me. A few do it via package management, but keen to see how others are doing it!

today = 2011.

Last week it was Yahoo

I guess the acronym gives it away, Structured Query Language. Things can get pretty hairy when playing around with triggers, indexes and foreign keys, not just the SQL itself. I'd imagine for 85k you'd need to have experience in replication and table partitioning. I also think the difference between a 25K and 85K developer would be the difference in execution time of a SQL block of code. It's amazing how much you can speed up queries by re-factoring the code as well as knowledge of using different types of indexing strategies. I've used SQL for 15 years, but not exclusively - it's always wrapped up with other needed skills. HTH!

I was at a Meetup.com Mysql meeting and one of the talks was on the CONNECT engine. The demo showed CONNECT working with Sybase using all the SELECT, UPDATE and DELETE commands, although the EXPLAIN command didn't show any indexes being used. Still impressive.

My i7 almost melted

+1 Loved this series. Had a real sense of 'William Gibson' about it.
