It depends on your task. In analytics where you need to scan lots of data points within few columns, then columnar storage is very much the best. But for transactional workloads where you have to deal with specific entities, row based would be more advantageous. There are hybrid systems that try to be both at the same time but in my experience they end not doing either very well.

What a fine story you tell!

Let’s ignore all the political and socio economic dynamics driving the current trends. Squeeze people’s livelihood by rent seeking; pillage public resources while externalizing as much of the risks and cost of doing business back to public; limit access to capital to few networks. Then pretend it’s in people’s power to choose to earn more if they would only work harder.

No one is arguing that founders shouldn’t earn the rewards for their work and risk. But to act like it’s all fair business and freedom of choice is rather glib to the point of being callous.

After all that has been revealed to us over the past 15 years, it is really disheartening to see people still thinking that setting a few toggles will prevent these companies from abusing them.

Just continues to prove that if you solve a bit of inconvenience for them, people will let you exploit them and their families.

I think that is the wrong lesson to take away from the video. As the video emphasizes, DoF is a tool that can be used to achieve an intended effect in story telling.

Main thrust of the video is that these days these tools are predominantly being used for convenience of post-production and cost cutting at the expense of immersion and story telling.

Being part of the team that achieved AGI first would be to write your name in history forever. That could mean more to people than money.

Also 10m would be a drop in the bucket compared to being a shareholder of a company that has achieved AGI; you could also imagine the influence and fame that comes with it.

He is asking a valid question. Experts on the issue also warn that there is no guarantee that what replaces the current regime would be any more amenable.

At least my experience is that if you confront them with harsh enough reality, they basically fail to provide anything useful.

When I started therapy, I felt the same way. But now I realize that there can be no easy solutions offered in therapy; the therapist cannot just give you an argument or trick that will resolve all your troubles. They are there to guide you through figuring it out yourself and help build the necessary habits to sustain the new state. That is why rapport between a therapist and their patient is crucial to success, thus why you are usually recommended to try several alternatives.

I admire that you put yourself in dangers way for what you think was right.

However it is really disingenuous to try frame a global conflict between super powers in terms of personal responsibility. Your prescription is in the same vein as saying those worried about climate change should recycle more, when it is clear their utmost efforts would not make a dent in the global scheme of things. As such, no amount of motivated militia is going to make a dent in a war against an industrialized military.

Just come out and say I don't want to pay for to support Ukraine's war against Russia. Your opinion is valid and should be taken into account. However you don't get to dodge your responsibilities if the outcome doesn't go your way, just like a Democrat has to live with Trump's policies whether they like it or not. It's pathetic to try garnering sympathy with cage analogies.

You are advocating for giving in to the bully in the hopes that they will stop bothering you. The reality is that the bully will never stop, Russia’s aim is total annexation of Ukraine. Making peace without proper guarantees would be to ensure more Ukrainian people will die in the future.

As most things it is a balancing act. Children also need to socialize and learn to operate in a social setting independently from their parents. Day cares have an important role in this aspect in our nuclear family based societies. Confining children to be paired to their parents all the time is also not going to be good for their development.
