Let me give you an example. Some Lovecraft letters were translated into french some weeks ago. Great reading! There, Lovecraft gives his opinion about the litterature and art of his time. And he mentions Nicolas Roerich. No idea who this gu

There is a boardgame called [at least in France] “The Gang” where a team of 3-6 players play a noTalk noMoney cooperative variant of TexasHoldEm. It is REALLY nice ! https://www.tabletopfinder.eu/en/boardgame/61

Once you have used a visual block-based version of PySpark, going back to regular Python code will really look like going back to prehistory.

I definitely agree. Two comments here: - the real power of Foundry is that it is REALLY scalable. Palantir is selling all the knowledge management+data management that you mentionned BUT at a level of integration and scalability that I ha

I still wait for my list of immediately available products, so my company can escape the evilness [and overefficiency] of the PalantirFoundry stack.

I doubt anyone has the $$$ horsepower to maintain a coherent stack as big as Foundry. So in the makeOrBuy, you probably will go for a buy. And in that field, I still think SAP is way behind Palantir. Someone in the discussion mentionned IBM

99% of our pipelineBuilders are purely based on the available building blocks [that cover most of PySpark functions: https://www.palantir.com/docs/foundry/pipeline-builder/funct... ]. Most notably we do join

I would love to know an alternative to that superbly integrated stack . [be aware that none of those tools require coding knowledge, nor any DB administration, nor scalability consideration. But for me the most important part is that the d

They are the tools why PalantirFoundry is worth every penny [not entirely true note: PalantirFoundry is a lowCode/noCode stack on top of a Spark cluster] Pipeline Builder : https://youtu.be/WIQA7u1tbsY?si=iG-N9xHpUPPVAq

Truth to be told: data barons rarely consume their own data, and are not at all focused of the data customers needs. So data customers have simply taken over the Palantir platform and manage the data import, data pipelines and data exposure

Funnily I am interested in this semantic argument. Do LLM trainers actually feed their « beast » with prompts from the past? Especially ones that are human corrections upon false assumptions hallucinated by the LLM? As a non-specialist I wo

Primitive object types in Java (String, Float, …) are final. That blocks you from doing such tricks, as far as I understand.

They expected not to have to deal with memory at all, I presume ;) [to go a bit off topic, the debugging of those issues is reasonably tool-assisted in Java, whereas I honestly don’t know how to solve them in, let’s say, Javascript/TS)

Apart from the comment of happymellon (blaming Spring for doing things behind your back), it happens that a factory , building objects for you , will have a “bug” and retain a reference to them for whatever reason. That is sometimes tricky

As a senior Java developper, I would say the most important things you will learn from Java (beyond types) are: stream on collections (the local functional implementation of map/reduce/…), interfaces everywhere, and more important

Reinventing XML traversal/transformation in JavaScript will lead really fast into abstracting away the recursive tree traversal, then mapping node marchers to functions. Which is 99% what XSLT provides off the shelf.

D.mn! I was hoping for the announcement of a brand new bulletproof tmux-resurrect. But no, it is (just) tmux-(recodedIn)rust.
