At least a score and a half, maybe two. My fridge measures almost a tenth of a chain across, and thrice as high.

I like this analogy but I guess I see it more like man inventing the knife, so he doesn't have to rip the animal to shreds with his bare hands anymore.

Funny thing, I'm trying to get going with Dagster today like I said, and figuring out how to debug is a bit .. annoying. The most helpful post I've come across so far just happens to be https://georgheiler.com/202

Hey Georg, thanks for posting. I've been working on building a thing with almost the same stack lately and the Dagster integration is my next large-ish step. In the last couple weeks I've kicked around Duck and Clickhouse for th

As the other poster mentioned, DBT is an open core product and I'm not sure how you'd use the cloud service on a local DB install anyway. Airflow and DBT don't really do the same things anyway.

Totally, it seems like every tech thing I’ve gotten to in the last 12 years or so - Drupal, Ansible, rpi, a few other things I can’t think of right now - geerlingguy was there a few years before I found it.

Could you elaborate on the accounting part? I'm deeply involved with billing on all three and while AWS seems to have all the data you're looking for in the CUR, it can be a multi-quarter job to build up the expertise to understan

Can you give an example? I can make metabase pivot tables DANCE (imho).

We have the same architecture deployed on all 3, and they're all good at something and suck at something.

by Jgrubb 3y ago
In contrast to my comment above about Azure taking care of the people who pay the bills, GCP's design around the billing and understanding spend UX is absolutely the most hostile of the big 3. Their design choices around hardware reser

I'll tell you what Azure does better - way better - than the other big 2 American vendors: they make it vastly easier for the people who pay the bills to understand what's going on (without having to spend 10 years as a Devops eng

I assume the poster to whom you're responding just hasn't been in the industry long enough to understand that the entire point of gigantic platforms like Microsoft or AWS is specifically to create ecosystems of vendors that provid

I really, really like your idea with Evidence. I long for a mode in Metabase that’s like a “notebook mode”, where the main focus is narrative and it’s ornamented with viz, rather than the other way around. I want to be able to publish this

> transform continuous SRE/devops opex costs into developers capex investment Would you mind expanding/educating me on this point? When I think of capex I think of “purchasing a thing that’s depreciated over a time window”. I

I’m not sure if this is a downside yet, but I know even less of what’s going on in the world since July, having bailed on Twitter and FB years earlier and having made a conscious decision to stop purposefully consuming “news” a few years ag

Or, blame meddlesome government regulation as the problem, blocking a free market and instead having winners and losers chosen by the state. It’s an effective argument because it’s got some truth to it.

Once upon a time I might have agreed with this take, but having years worth of battle scars on me now - the interface that any company’s data presents about its operations is entirely coupled to the implementation of how it’s collected and

Drupal was the only accessible door to me to this entire industry in 2010, with no CS knowledge or available mentors. I was one of those people and I barely fed my family, and I eventually learned PHP, JS, the hosting stack, automating the

Arbitrage maybe? Like, the tendency of markets to arbitrage profit margins downward unless a company has some kind of moat? In this context it's kind of confusing (maybe like "to be arb'd"?) and I might be totally wrong!
