How does it compare to Moodle/Canvas in terms of intended use? I have a contact who is looking for an LMS for teacher education, and kolibri looks probably appropriate.

Agree with this sentiment having used Moodle and Canvas with school edtech companies (not what they are designed for), and they are really frustrating. The UX for students is just, sadly, terrible - "old" feeling and difficult to

Thanks. I have Bose 700 and sad to hear that the QC45 isn't an obvious improvement.

London has this - congestion charge, it probably isn't high enough because London traffic is still terrible, but at £15/$20 it does discourage frequent casual trips. https://tfl.gov.uk/modes/driving/conge

If the HDMI port supports 100% of whatever resolution/framerate possible for modern top end monitors then I'd be happy to see the end of fighting with DisplayPort. Getting Macbook Pro to work with modern monitors is a buggy mess,

Very cool. Reiterate other's comments that mouse-over a fingerprint showing a hover would be great. When clicking a fingerprint, the next page should prominently show the fingerprint, burying it in the page, especially when it isn&#x27

I like this analogy, I often use the term plumbing in relation to Data Engineering, and this extends it perfectly! > You maintain pipes that can route water, oil or gasoline. You don't want to test for water purity, because next day

Did you consider Prefect?

by sails 5y ago
Thanks. Requirement at this stage is to coordinate the running of a few singer.io or airbyte taps. I may consider Prefect over Airflow, generally my experience so far resonates with this blog post: https://towardsdatascience.com&

Thanks, glad to hear that before I bother trying it. Have heard astronomer is too expensive. Step Functions doesn't look great either.

How best to achieve this? I'm considering Astronomer or AWS hosted airflow, with a benefit to AWS having the compute components easily accessible within the AWS ecosystem. Starting out with a smaller scale and lower commitment to Airfl

I think this is primarily aimed at analytics and data modelling SQL, the type of SQL in dbt [], though I'd be happily corrected by the team. As far as I understand, this has been quite a long time coming, and is far from trivial due to

Thats cool, I'll be having a closer look. I'm working on an xbar plugin app [1][2] that alerts me when there is a warmer day in the coming week. I used VisualCrossing [3] which seems quite good, and crucially allows 2 weeks histor

Medium blocking copy/paste and instead prompting tweets of the highlighted text must be one the most infuriating things I encounter on the web. The only thing making it bearable is FireFox reader mode.
