Druid has like 9 different node types and inherits the whole Hadoop configuration mess and complexity
3, and there's absolutely no need for hadoop, particularly with MSQ

This is the kind of malware I can get behind.
Aphex Twin and BoC have changed my life. I've listened to Aphex Twin every day for the past two decades and not much else. The lore is so deep with both. Check out https://bocpages.org/wiki/About and the story behind Hexagon Sun studios. Very cool
On the "not much else" note, it's worth pointing out that the kids these days are putting out some amazing work that lives up to the precedent set by BoC and Aphex. Skee Mask in particular is really great, and I think Four Tet's work is sometimes a little under-appreciated because he likes to make things very accessible and incorporate more commercial elements into his work. I really think his Sixteen Oceans album is a companion piece to Tomorrow's Harvest in disguise.
Joking about the quality of your products is hurtful to the people who made them. Joking about dumb programming trends is offensive to the people who find them useful. You're still happily diminishing people, only now you won't even do it to their faces.
I'm joking about the quality of the products I make, to be clear.

This reminds me of a project I did a few years ago:
"Stockify is a live music service that follows the mood of the stock markets. It plays happy music only when the stock is going up and sad music when it’s going down." https://vimeo.com/310372406
(it's of course a parody, but I made a functional prototype)
This is what NPR does on the market segment (Kai Rysdal?) The background music reflects the changes in the market over the day.
Also, if you haven't read Douglas Adam's "Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency", there's a good subplot around this exact idea.
Is Bigbuttson an actual name? That is funny to an English speaker.
Deliberately not an actual name, but I'm guessing the actual one he referenced is along those lines (he specifically mentioned it being Nordic)
Someday you will look back on a world where it was okay to laugh at things, and perhaps you will even remember writing this comment.
I'm generally perceived as a pretty funny guy, I joke around with both my reports and those I report to, and, yes, even with customers all the time. I've found that I don't need to diminish others to do this, there's plenty of other crap to joke about, like the quality of our products, how long it takes to get stuff done, the UX of the tools we share, dumb programming trends. It's easy to laugh without it being at the expense of others.
A lot of the conversation from the "no politics at work" crowd here is centered around "these folks were wasting company time and losing productivity protesting this". That entirely misses the point. The loss of productivity around this issue is entirely on the leadership team. They let this fester - they were complicit in allowing this dumb-ass list to be circulated around the company for years, and when it became an issue, they refused to take any action on it.
I was wondering how this would go down where I currently work, because people here rarely discuss politics at all. Then I realized that making fun of customer names - and we work with large enterprise customers across the globe - would be shut down in a personal conversation with anyone I work with, and circulating a list like this would just never happen. The way to keep politics out of work is to keep your work environment professional.
This wasn't employees pontificating on the merits of BLM or party politics in Basecamp channels, this was direct response to dumb shit the company was allowing certain people to get away with. DHH's blog post where he got into the details was still basically tittering at "lol Bigbuttson is a funny name", and it's deplorable.

This is an advertisement for a service disguised as an informative article. The info it provides is pretty basic and it's just farming clicks for signups from HN.
