Every commit in Delta is time travel-able. Defaults in Delta clean up logs in 30 days (and data in 7 days but requires a VACUUM be issued.) You can set those retention periods to any arbitrary time period, but it's typically advised ag

Welcome to Databricks! I've been an SA at Databricks for the past two years and love it here. The people you get to work with here are world-class and our customers legitimately love our product. I too am a little confused about commen

Thank you for FullPageOS. I was thinking of building something for a project I had. This will save me tons of time!

Programming languages will always be better, more feature rich and more capable than any DSL. However, the whole reason things like terraform or puppet become popular is because the people who write the DSL don't consider themselves &q

I tried to organize a corporate hackathon at one point in my career. My initial idea was to make it freeform. However after talking to people who wanted to participate, I found that nobody really had any ideas and just wanted to join and ha

I started in the software engineering space and move into data engineering, and I was floored with the complete lack of tooling. There is a HUGE gap between software engineering and data engineering when it comes to both tooling and practic

Ran into a similar issue last year in the East US region. We contracted support and they gave a similar response. From my understanding talking to people who use AWS and GCP this isn't uncommon across cloud platforms. While we could&#x

I'm with you, I'm a dev who prefers Windows over Mac. I'm convinced that most Mac users don't use multiple monitors and they're completely fine with the really poor window management. It boggles my mind; I am object

Ah - that makes sense. This might be a bit easier in healthcare as I believe it's pretty common to have many different ops teams each responsible for different parts of the business. I feel like most of the time "compliance"

Maybe I should rephrase that: Is it impossible for a company that defines Dev+Ops as a single responsibility to be compliant?

What exactly is a "Conflicting duty"? What's stopping a company from stating that developing, deploying and supporting software is a single duty?

The author calls out a few reasons why DevOps fails for organizations all of which I agree with - however the one that I've never completely understood: Regulatory reasons for keeping Ops centralized. I work in healthcare which I guess

I was getting ready to disagree with you - but then I tried to think of any time I've actually pushed code to production with the "DELETE" keyword in it. The problems that I've had to solve in my career very rarely call

I've worked in healthcare IT for my entire professional career - It's A LOT more complicated than most people think. For the last 5 years I've focused on the data side of healthcare and I think that deep learning is 100% poss

I doubt that Microsoft was looking to get into the "advanced text editor" business. Their biggest money maker is Azure, they made a text editor that promotes Azure.

Very recently implemented a "lakehouse" in Azure with Databricks and ADLS. So far the enterprise is pleased with it. Our traditional IT EDW developers like it because they can use modern software development practices (source cont

When Reddit's videos started taking off (more posts using it instead of Gfycat) I got frustrated that I couldn't post the gifs/videos to Discord without requiring a click through to Reddit. I created this simple Docker contai

"Don't change the function signature" and semver are things that are absolutely hammered into devs who work on library code. I'd be hard pressed to find somebody even tangentially involved in software development who doe

Fascinating. Any clue as to what the largest factor for "similarity" is, and how much it contributes?

I've got a question for anybody who works in ad/marketing tech - is what Robert is describing something that you've worked on/with and seen successful results? If so did you build it that way intentionally? Like, I total

As nearly every poster in this thread mentioned, this headline is click-bait. I don't blame the author actually, this is very targeted click-bait (OO programmers) and I took the bait and actually enjoyed the read. The criticism of SRP

This. These are how you appear to developers as a _useful_ architect. Sure, there is a lot of other tasks that they do involving design and planning for the future - but the only way as an architect to actually impact software development i

A fatality rate of 1-3% is actually quite high. This is significantly higher than the seasonal flu[1]. Sure, it's not as deadly as other pandemics, but still - if the numbers are correct, if you contract COVID-19 you are more likely to
