$500k for only 100 millions rows db also sounds crazy


The largest table was 100 million rows. They could have had hundreds more tables.


Also curious why every comment mentions just the number of rows as the only factor that matters. A 100M rows table of 3 integer columns is quite different from 50+ columns, 5 of which are text up to a few MB long.


How is the future in 2078?

Some of us are better as sql guy than pandas/polars guys syntax.


but polars has sql too


This one liner example is one of the reason why some people use pandas and some people despise it.

It so easy for my analyst team because of daily uses but my developers probavly will never thought/know BME and decided to implement the code again.


IMO most companies under $1B in top 5 population countries treat head of international division just the same with their head of regional.

So 35-40 years old leaders are common.


The ones who use spreadsheet usually don't write code well.

The ones who code usually don't like spreadsheet.


What gets me is that even if you don't code much, if you're using a spreadsheet with formulas, in that moment you are writing code, and doing so in an awful, awful language. Sure, "SUM" is easy, but the moment you have any kind of conditional logic it gets pretty hairy. Maybe there's something about traditional spreadsheet languages that makes them easier than, say, numpy for non-coders, but I don't see it.


That's one of the reasons we started building Quadratic, it's a spreadsheet where everyone - technical or not can work with data in the same place. With our AI integration, anyone can start writing JS or Python for complex analysis or mix in formulas for simpler computations.


We still use couchdb & pouchdb only for syncing data for our salesmen app.

It's an offline first PWA (Salesman need to make an order even if offline).

And pouchdb make it easier because we don't have to care about indexeddb, leveldb or whatever of users browser's db.

So its a single codebase for serving web, ios and android.

Its great for sync but less then good for other uses


I really don't remember well, long long time ago in Window (XP?) either you can select multiple folders and zip each of them separately and/or you can select multiple zip files and extract them to separate folders within a single context menu
