I think this is the exception, not the norm. My experience is business users (incl. PMs) are lost outside of Excel.

I don’t know anything about the game, but I’m guessing the new account was created to protect his identity, should the ploy fail?

That program sounds quite impressive, I wonder if any equivalencies exist in the US?

Since duckdb is OLAP, it would directly compare with other columnar database technologies like Redshift, Presto/Athena, etc.

Most of these systems strongly encourage or outright enforce JSONL, so that’s the defacto standard, and most tooling or pipelines are going to generate that nowadays.

You can obviously still have a row of arrays, and different systems have slightly different approaches on how to deal with those. In Spark, this is referred to as “exploding”, in Presto you would cross join to unnest an array, in Redshift you can glob on the super type.

I’m not sure I have a particular favorite, only that the database support such an operation since it is a common occurrence.

Fantastic article. Searching the stock ticker (CSCW) on Reddit turned up some humorous old posts about how this penny stock is about to take off.

Thanks for the recommendation! Now that you mention it, I’ve seen similar behavior on Dateline. Wonder if there are other terms for essentially “digging the hole deeper.”

Wow, quite brazen. What an interesting read.

Couple things that stood out to me was that the incident occurs in December and the raid ensues March 24th, so roughly 3 months. Building the case I presume.

Then after the raid, the accused doubles down and seeds fake news stories.

While certainly focused on larger vehicles, by all appearances Ford is much more exciting and innovative than its traditional domestic counterparts. The new electric F150, electric mustang, the Bronco series, etc. have all seemed to drum up quite the fanfare. I can’t say the same for GM.

This looks really great, like a local version of redash but way more in the way of charting options. Such simplicity to boot.

Fantastic work! This looks like an arguably better/more generalized version of something like Streamlit.

Great concept for building rapid applications.

That is correct. Typically used to enable or modify a feature in the client on your own time table vs. App Store approval.
