If you haven't been paying attention to the latest developments in Vim. It's gotten insanely cool.
I mostly haven't touched my dotfiles in ~5 years. Started looking again when seeing @jasonlong & @fatih's setups.

Hi NY! Here giving some fun geospatial demos at #SDSC22.
RT: @CARTO's founder @jatorre, proud of how it wraps queries undercover before pushing to @SnowflakeDB — for optimal results.
Pic: My great co-speaker @datancoffee, and my ex-great co-speaker @cwj02.

I think I have seen @felipehoffa impressed with the queries that @CARTO does behind the scenes for @SnowflakeDB #sdsc22

Point lookups are pretty popular. After all, they can help you find that proverbial needle in your data haystack. See how Snowflake has made conducting these searches faster—and easier than ever okt.to/AXSxWV

I already ran this survey for my SIGMOD keynote in 2017: youtu.be/M2MEcvMHzkY?t=4004
Most people use READ COMMITTED because that is the default in the major DBMSs.
Serializablity is great, but what in practice?
(Here @andy_pavlo on MVCC youtu.be/tHlIxfTCMoY?t=392 for more insights)
Do you use read commited even when the DB provides lock free serializable?
7%Serializable always
22%Need read committed
48%Don't care, use default
22%(see results)

I'm looking forward to presenting again at @berlinbuzzwords. Virtually this time. Come hear about observability for data pipelines with @OpenLineage.
There is critical need for reliable data operations and understanding how data is flowing through our systems. Join @J_ at #bbuzz 2021 to learn how to create Data pipelines that are auditable, reliable and run on time with OpenLineage. Full abstract here: 2021.berlinbuzzwords.de/sess…
