Snowflake forces this, so you would also never get CamelCase w/o always quoting the column name in your queries.

Depending upon how you organize the words within them (*_id, *_name, *_percent), snake case allows you to parse the column names dynamically for things like santization and formatting.

Aha, I see what you mean. On all three accounts.

Been having fun with this one

Read Aloud allows you to select from a variety of text-to-speech voices, including those provided natively by the browser, as well as by text-to-speech cloud service providers such as Google Wavenet, Amazon Polly, IBM Watson, and Microsoft. Some of the cloud-based voices may require additional in-app purchase to enable.

the shortcut keys ALT-P, ALT-O, ALT-Comma, and ALT-Period can be used to Play/Pause, Stop, Rewind, and Forward, respectively.

"you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come" - 1 John 2:18 (Father of Lies Edition)

> BTW, your "source" is an AI generated article by a local blog. It's not news

Actually, it is AI generated + Human edited (with links to StatsCan for the numbers), and is very interesting "news-to-me" wrt the breakdowns by province.

At the SIGGRAPH '96, where they launched the N64, SGI had an awesome stage show: there was an MC and a user with a VR setup on, some Onyx refrigerators behind them, and a big screen showing the VR view.

It was awesome - they were basically building New Orleans with legos: open a toolbox filing cabinet, choose a brick, run it all the way down the block, run that line of bricks up 200 feet to create the side of a building, rinse repeat.

Would love to see that one again.

I, unarguably, agree. My all time favorite part is "Psalm". Love the story behind it, too: They had just moved from the city to Long Island, and he said it came fully formed into his mind. He then spent days and days in solitude intensely teasing it out to perfection.

Had me laughing, too, and I haven't touched a flute in two years :0)

First fell in love with Groove Salad.

So True! Glacial. Even with "ultra important asap" items

Snowflake has been rolling out all sorts of stuff.

Also, been using claude/grok/copilot/whatever for dbt/sql.

Haven't found a lot of need for it in replication/orchestration so far.

The most useful value of RSS for me was >20 years ago. craigslist let you create rss feeds with params, so I made a script that got me subscribed to feeds for every location they had in north america where someone was looking for a "telecommute lamp developer"

Nope, they see the oil money as the important thing, and renewables aren't in their portfolios. The bigger economy and end-users are immaterial.

See also what happened when Stephen Harper became PM of Canada: they stopped science funding that didn't appeal to their interests and even auctioned off the data (the libraries of actual collected statistics) from various research stations.

I discriminate adulthood 2 ways:

"legal"/"federally protected" adulthood - 21 - can vote, drink, etc.

"biological" adulthood - brain is not fully developed until ~25, and takes a few years to "activate/realize" those "powers", so ~30 for "actual, mature" adult processes to start taking place. ~40 seems appropriate within that as an outer boundary of "early" adulthood.

Having watch an embarrassing amount of old movies:

Rich people always had tailored clothing: tuxedos were expected for men at dinner

Poor people didn't: lots of "unfortunate pants" and dresses made from sacks

Maybe they're thinking, if they "accidentally" break the dam and let the waters rage downstream, they can flood Dharmashala and no one will know it ever existed?

Speaking of C - a thing to me that made PHP take off was (in addition to "LAMP everywhere") was it made it easy to convert C code into extensions

I agree with you, however, to me, the local language has often been what I saw as an important factor in this. Not just he semantic structure of adjectives/nouns/verbs, but what the parts of different words mean that were obviously glued together into neologisms. The German "kindergarten"="child garden" comes immediately to mind. While I don't have any examples, I've talked to several Innu about this aspect of their words, and found it both beautiful and enlightening.

This. Learn how to learn. And the more you learn, the more (and faster) you can learn. I hit a wall with rounding in Qlik the other day, in 30 minutes of experimentation I had it nailed (as stupid as it is).

That said, I started programming in basic when <10 yo in 1980 on a mainframe, so am not a good example of someone who has been spoon-fed expectations of what it takes to be a true badass.

See you added the above comment to your article... I clicked the hn link because wanted to see if it was ironic or illiterate. Now I know.

Reminds me of Apple's "Sosumi" system sound.

we discovered back when IE3 came out that you could crash windows by leaving off a table closing tag.

I'm a data engineer for a "very large warranty group".

We manage the pipelines for downstream analytics.

We have combinations of data and actuarial scientists doing this analysis, so those would be good things to look into.

One part that dovetails with your QA experience is there's a lot of work with different reporting systems where the data needs to line up correctly.

Evaluating risk is more open-ended, since it also requires analysis of external data.

Hope this helps a little...

Good Luck!

Semester 1 when getting a BFA in painting the prof told us to do this to help tighten composition

Was extolling my love for Supercollider last night.

Not the best for composition, but for all sorts of synth and effect building, cannot be beat.

Doing stuff like algorithmically making bell frequencies, then playing 100s of bells at once is easy, as it can be all variables, all the way down.

Currently working on making quad panning effects :0)

After DEI reversal at Walmart, can't bring myself to read it no matter how informative.
