Same thing for enterprise solutions. How does Redshift stack up against Snowflake? What about choosing a dashboard tool within the various ones that exist today? Etc.

I am a big fun of learning best practices but also of iterative “projects”. You know why most business projects fail? Because they are too big and to reduce risks the tendency is to follow _only_ best practices. This doesn’t work because ea

Any tools to do this with native applications too not just browsers? We have been flooded by this RPA companies the past 2 years and I'd love a way to do this with Python. It is actually a potentially very profitable market since the i

I think we need some kind of long form essay/how-to for this problem. It's a serious issue and I see millions being wasted this way. Point in case, we continue to push dashboarding tools in the analytics industry (Y) while what we

Interesting topic. Any of you doing everything right - work, sports, cooking, some reading, etc - but procrastinating social life? I feel like that's what I do. I always have excuses not to go out to meet new people or meet the people

If you put it like that it sounds like the alternative is moral absolutism. I take issue with absolutes because they do not promote any type of meaningful discussion. You are basically going up to a country and telling them you are right, w

I don’t want to justify zoom but I do want to point out that we shouldn’t be ok with judging a country to the point of saying they have “bad laws”. Maybe it’s because I am Italian and have seen what happens when discussions go head to head

HashiCorp is doing fine with config files in hcl or json. What’s your specific complain here? To me it seems your mini languages would anyway compile into something very similar to those yaml files. It’s all graph nodes in the end. But I do

I actually feel even better when I am persisting using static files (json, csv, parquet, etc.), but of course that's not always possible.

This is solid. From my perspective this dichotomy me/others is a false one. I am sure MBAs have their value though sometimes they get so political it's hard to separate the b/s from what they actually do. I think self assessm

I tried python data science and got mostly advertising for training courses. How do you pull the content? List of sites?

Altair and Vega offer a great declarative way to build interactive charts with a grammar of graphics. As with other options in this area like Tableau they are not as good with tabular reports (tables). I think they are still greatly worth i

Yes but that is a feature of parallel and Dask does it well.

I always felt neither Airflow nor Superset solved any of the foundational problems with data analytics today. If we take Airflow, it is relatively easy to schedule runs of scripts using cron (or more fancy Nomad jobs with a period stanza).

Most ETL processes should be declarative and configured in text files like you configure a CloudFormation or Terraform. Once you have that, the execution piece is relatively straightforward. I think a lot of issues and costs with ETL come f

I have created something similar. I have a content folder with articles and auto generate content on my site at each commit. I built it as a Docker container and I run it on Nomad. It’s interesting how much content (crm?) we can put togeth

This is great. Will you allow other "friends" to create their own directories to? I'd like to contribute. Just found: https://www.kleptones.com/blog/2012/06/28/hectic-city-15-pat... Thanks

We are 30+ years and Windows Task Scheduler is still broken. Compare that to simple .txt files to schedule anything you need in Linux. Windows took the UI path for users and that's OK, but most of Power users are still much better off

I am working on a similar use case. I was going to go the Nomad route for this. I have no idea if this is a good idea or not but I wonder if using an orchestrator and then saving state in separate volumes will do the trick.

I am putting together a crm and data extractor with nomad/consul/fabio. I feel there is a lack of good content on how to build cloud solutions with proper security. Feel free to reach out.

Not sure yet I like how aws does this but I started to think that serverless and microservices are about state after all. It is about ephemeral apps that hold only the bare minutes state. For instance you don’t need user management as ident

Takeover more power and then move people to markdown with a sleight of hand. I cannot cope with MS Office anymore. I was in finance 5 years, plenty of Excel work, when I open Excel today I am quickly reminded how painful it is and go back t

I mean question is when do you need a spa. Take my beloved online pivot table. The web UI state is very similar to the server state. For instance, if the user adds a dimension to the pivot we need to instantly feed that back to the server.

Would this work with an html table element? I am building online pivot tables and I like the idea of building the entire table on the server and swapping it with a div on user click.

This to me is a bit like saying we should go back to assembly because programming languages are too much of an abstraction from machines. As with everything it comes down to tracking solid metrics to avoid wasting resources and getting dece

In app insights are always tricky. The moment you need to compare this data with non GitHub data you need to move to an external database anyway.

There are many managed services, which is great, but how does this work when your storage is somewhere else? For instance I might decide to put the storage (postgres and minio) on a cheap Hetzner dedicated server, how would this work with E

I looked into Nomad, did not understand much. I am pretty OK with docker and docker-compose, me and my team use docker to develop data workflows in python locally. So out of Docker I am much less comfortable. For instance, would JupyterHub
