years ago, had this one college professor, students would spend the time before class asking him to divide two fractional numbers, and he would rattle off a few decimal places after calculating, to cheers from the students that had their calculators out with the answers. the excitement would build with every correct decimal point.

he didn’t actually need a calculator.

but he did own one.

hopefully this does not cause your blood to go through a state change.

> I have people in my network use Snowflake with a total data size of 50GB!!! It makes my blood boil.

I keep a whole bunch of small-ish datasets in Snowflake because it means I don't have to do all the work to janitor my own postgres install. I go with the db someone else maintains for me that I have, not the one that I wish I had.
