This also misses the point that EVs are cheaper over time. There is currently a slightly higher upfront cost, but there are no oil changes, less break wear due to regenerative breaking, no transmission to service, no spark plugs, no timing

Is there a way to tell which banks are the weaker banks? I know the fed does stress tests but I've read that Silicon Valley Bank didn't take part, so I don't know how to get the data.

But were you actually purchasing 2-4 drinks per person per day before getting this setup? If not, this doesn't pay for itself as quickly as you'd think.

Okay, maybe "keylogger" was incorrect, but Grammarly has the potential to expose users to all types of security risks they might not realize are possible. Here's a past example: https://bugs.chromium.org/p&#x2

It's very early for users to not understand and for apps to ask for a bunch of permissions. One great example is Grammarly, which is a keylogger that helps users with grammar. I don't think Grammarly has bad intentions, but still,

Mostly PowerBI, plus a little bit of the "operational analytics" movement, which is essentially an anti-dashboarding phenomenon. Example operational analytics tools that aren't dashboards but that can be used serve a similar

Okay, but neither of those are open source...

Tableau's biggest competitor is PowerBI, not anything open source.

To be honest, that sounds like analytics/BI or data science, not data engineering. Are you suggesting OP pivot their career into one of those roles?

by panda888888 4y ago
Disagree, at least in this instance. Math isn't a bad thing to learn but it's not helpful for data engineering. Data engineering is focused on data integration (data pipelines), not on any type of analysis or data science.

Yes, look up the company called dbt to learn more. (I don't work there or anything, it's just a popular tool and their website explains it well.)

I would focus on theory first, then tools. I recommend the following, in order: 1) Data modeling: Fully read Kimball's book, The Data Warehouse Toolkit, 3rd edition. It's outdated and boring but it's an excellent foundation,

I'm not sure if these are "valid reasons" but here's my guess: Palantir is a professional services company with a handful of large customers, such as the US Government. It seems like they're trying to pivot away fro

Climate tech doesn't have to be crazy futuristic ML models or whatever in order to be useful. For instance, I love the Purple Air air quality sensors, which crowdsource data and use a simple existing technology. (See https:/&#x2F

That sounds like a data governance problem that goes above and beyond the things that DBT does. The typical way to handle this is by implementing a gold/silver/bronze architecture.

You have to go back a step, to ETL vs ELT. ELT is powerful because you're doing the transformations as the final step, so you can quickly ingest the data and then transform it however you want and in different ways. While you may not l

I agree with this. Having the device "correct" something that you've just gone back to fix is extremely frustrating. That said, there are times when retroactive correction is useful. If I type "new york," it's

I also use Gboard for Dvorak on iOS (well, prior to reading this post) and it's laggy and slow. I think that's true for all non-native keyboards on iOS, though. I've just switched to this new native keyboard option and after

Disagree. I've been almost an exclusive Dvorak user for 15+ years, and the muscle memory absolutely carries over.

The ratio of ads to real posts on Instagram is already terrible. If it gets any worse, I'll probably stop using Instagram due to frustration. I'm pretty fed up as is. For grid posts (not sure what they're called, but the part

My local library provides access to Oreilly. Before you pay for a membership or find an alternative, it's worth checking your library.

As a data point, I've purchased (or borrowed from the library) 9 technical books this year. I've read bits and pieces of all of them, but I haven't read them cover-to-cover. By then end of the year, I'll probably be up t

Early-stage startups, ideally ones with fewer than 50 employees. If you can be employee #10 or so, you can work on the project/company for a year or two; at that point, it should be obvious if the company will be successful/get ac

Teachers may make 13% more than the average salary across the US, but the job also requires a graduate degree, which often requires a year of student teaching that is unpaid. If we use your argument about wages, teaching "should"
