  • is a pretty surreal. Considered on of the most influential films of all time. One of the earliest examples of post-modernism in film.

    Every scene in Ex Machina is basically a dialogue covering different arguments in the philosophy of AI. Plus a surreal dance scene.

    I was blown away by Mother when I first saw it. But looking back on it, the allegory wasn’t exactly subtle.

    Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is a meta-modern masterpiece.

    Tropic Thunder, as a meta commentary on comedy, is actually really good. Aside from the great comedy itself.

    Sweatshirts are double-layered pullovers, typically non-woven. Sweaters are single-layer pullovers, typically knit. Jackets have buttons or zippers. Hoodies have hoods and are made of fabric (e.g. raincoats are not hoodies).

    You can have hoodies that are also sweatshirts, or hoodies that are also jackets.

    This garment pictured in your post is a jacket. It is also a hoodie. It is neither a sweatshirt nor a sweater.

    This is just my interpretation of the situation. I don’t know of any formal classification system for outerwear.

    This is how LJ operates.

    Sync is already polished. It’s older than Lemmy itself, originally released in 2013!!! The current version is 23!

    There aren’t a ton of updates these days because there’s not much to update. This app is polished as hell, having over a decade of development.

    Edit: There are way too many sinks being posted. All by OP. Mods, can we ban them already?

    Worse.

    Without tips, the employer pays $7.50/hr. That’s not enough to live on, especially since food service workers are almost universally working part time.

    With tips, the employer pays $2.50/hr, but tips can make up the difference to be somewhat more reasonable.

    To abolish tipping, we need:

    1. To abolish servers’ wage ($2.50) and pay servers minimum wage.
    2. Double the minimum wage to $15/hr.

  • At the end of the day, the query engine is going to operate on some kind of plan object (a tree of operations).

    So it’s really just a matter of the language frontends that are offered. Obviously you have to provide a SQL frontend. And since PRQL can compile to SQL (it’s all the same relational algebra under the hood) then the easy way is just PRQL -> SQL -> Query Plan.

    I don’t think there is any benefit of maintaining a direct PRQL to Query Plan frontend. It’s just another frontend that you have to maintain.

    Effectivly, you can just use SQL as an intermediate representation so that you just have to write the PRQL frontend once and have it support all DBs, modulo some backend-specific optimizations per DB.

    It’s much more cost effective to maintain a set of optimizations for a shared PRQL frontend than to maintain an entire PRQL frontend that only works for your DB.

    That said, I would love if a DB offered PRQL natively. Even if that just means shipping the open source PRQL frontend as part of the DB.
