That is a sharp and slightly chilling analogy. If Steve Jobs saw the computer as a tool that amplified human effort (the bicycle), and AI represents a tool that automates that effort entirely (the car), then the "obesity epidemic" of the mind is likely Cognitive Atrophy.

The technique can be applied by any engine, not just DataFusion. Each engine would have to know about the indexes in order to make use of them, but the fallback to parquet standard defaults means that the data is still readable by all.

This is interesting... possibly a move by Databricks to try and build on their "data lakehouse" concept to counter the recent "Fabric platform" announcements at MS Build.

Databricks coined the "Delta lake" concept and are still (just about) leading the way, but Fabric has the potential from MS to take away that marketshare. Databricks need to improve their "serverless SQL" offering, and add a serious "data warehouse" component alongside the lake.

The operators we offer in our clusters (e.g. ECK, Prometheus, etc... the ArgoCD ApplicationSet generators make it easy to configure which features are installed on each cluster), as well as the applications developed by the development teams. Our work isn't complete yet (still working on sync for secrets and RBAC), but it's working nicely so far.

Terraform 1.0 5 years ago

I like Terraform for infrastructure, up to the point of creating the K8s cluster, then ArgoCD for keeping K8s in sync.

Not really (any less). A couple of years ago we migrated a project from Spring + GWT to Spring + Vue. The Vue part is nicer, but everything around it feels messy. The team is primarily backend / java developers (we had a frontend expert at the time too), but we felt that the JS frontend part shouldn't be that hard to master. Maybe Vaadin would have been a better option after all?
