Not sure what he was going for with that definition of "explicit." It wasn't explicit at all.

How does "implicit" not satisfy this condition? I can tell a lot about a program from the source of it implicitly as well.

He complains that DynamoDB doesn't work for him, then says you should instead use Google BigTable. But he doesn't offer evidence why you should use BigTable. And just says that it works for him.

Hey there, I'm the PM for Google Cloud Bigtable; if you want to talk about your experiences with Bigtable, I'd love to hear what your use case was, what your experience was, and your thoughts on how we can make Bigtable better for you. Feel free to follow me on Twitter (see my profile) and we can chat over DM if you wish.

If we chat and decide that Bigtable is appropriate for your use case, maybe you'd be willing to give it another shot? :-)

I believe the article specifically notes that BigTable gave far better performance than DynamoDB.

What did you find infuriating about BigTable?

Network Effect? I have another theory.

Allo is #1 in India because a Jared paid people to download it ;)

It is NSFW.

Saw that picture and the one of the couple in the hot spring. Then I remembered, Nat Geo was recently taken over by Fox.

Ah, I thought. Explains everything.

As much as I mourn the Murdoch sale, National Geographic has long been famous for its occasional bare skin.

Yes... When it made a point.

The bare skin in these photos have little to do with the content of the article.
