Cool! Welcome and subscribed!
If you are being intentional about its use, then you can get a lot out of it. But for some, maybe even most, YouTube is a distraction.
Nice! I'm a big fan of Iceberg, and it's nice to see books coming out for it. I used it quite a bit with Spark, and it's a pleasure to use.
I'm waiting for the python support to be complete, and I can see myself using it full time. Right now, I'm trying to use DuckDB and Python for nearly everything outside of the database, and the only thing missing is good Python support for Iceberg.
Yes it can be an issue because the GPS doesn't know where you are and thinks you are on an aboveground street. Freeway tunnels can have multiple exits too.
I disagree. I think the default option should be what users expect, and users expect "copy" to do exactly that: copy without modifying the text.
While it would be ideal to have all datetime fields in databases and other data stores be time zone aware, that is certainly not the case. Also, SQLite (and probably others) do not have great support for time zones and it's recommended to store datetimes as UTC (typically unix timestamps).
Deprecating utcnow was a good idea, but they should have replaced it with naive_utcnow. Oh well.
I've turned off the bot for now.
Just because you can get part of your education remotely or through self-learning didn't mean "anything can be learned online".
And if you were hiring a math tutor for your kid, would you prefer a self-proclaimed expert from watching YouTube videos or would you want someone who got a degree from a credentialed university? And even if you don't care, why are you surprised that others would be skeptical of the YouTube expert?
Remote learning can be fine for some things, and self learning through informal channels are also fine, but it's not a full on replacement for formal education in all cases.
No sorry, that's just fundamentally false. You can't just learn titration techniques from watching a video. You can't learn phlebotomy without an instructor watching you do it to a patient. Hell, you aren't learning how to drive a car from playing a video game.
And I'm not sure where you are pulling the "if you are that powerful" from. You really have an ax to grind don't you.
Ah yes, I'm sure the formal training received by doctors, nurses, lawyers, teachers, and engineers is just an over-hyped "education" that can all be replaced by online MOOCs.
There are real problems with education, especially with the costs, but "anything can be learned online" is the worst take I've heard in a long while.
