I have two NFC chip implants. One in each hand. I put the one in my left hand in myself, on a Saturday afternoon in January 2024, after spending two or three minutes holding the needle against my skin and slowly working out the exact spot. The one in my right hand I drove an hour out to Worcester for, paid a guy $150, and held still while he did the install in a tattoo and piercing studio. Same te

Becoming a tech lead was the goal from pretty early in my career. I had a clear picture of what the role was. More responsibility, more influence over the work, more of the interesting problems landing on my desk because someone had to figure them out and that someone, finally, would be me. It read like the natural next step. The thing you graduate to once you're good enough. What that picture did
When you use window functions in SQL, you can't filter their results directly in a WHERE or HAVING clause — that's a well‑known limitation across many databases. GBase 8a, the China‑domestically developed MPP database from GBASE, solves this elegantly with the QUALIFY clause. Let's break down how it works, what it can do, and where you need to be careful. DROP TABLE IF EXISTS emp; CREATE TABLE emp
As data grows, you'll likely need to add nodes to your existing GBase 8a MPP cluster without downtime. This hands‑on guide walks through the full process of adding a composite GNode to a running GBASE cluster. Existing cluster: A healthy GBase 8a cluster New node: A server with a static IP address configured Network: All nodes must be able to communicate with each other Stop services on all existi
By default, identifiers in GBase 8s are case‑insensitive: uppercase letters are silently treated as lowercase. Setting the environment variable DELIMIDENT=Y changes how double‑quoted identifiers behave, enabling case‑sensitive table and column names. Here's a demonstration and a deep dive into the option, as used in a gbase database. With DELIMIDENT=y exported, execute the following statements: ex
This post walks through setting up a distributed Hadoop cluster from scratch and loading data from HDFS into GBase 8a, GBASE's China-domestically developed MPP database. The full pipeline covers environment prep, config tweaks, cluster verification, and the final load command. Create a hadoop user on all nodes and configure passwordless SSH. Add Java and Hadoop paths to ~/.bash_profile on every no
