I am currently building something similar for my company. We are enabling people to host apps with python backends as well, so that people can do more complex tweaking of data for scientific workflows. The out-of-box solutions keep users

I have tried this a few times. If you live in the woods with lots of standing water, then it has literally no effect. I bought a giant supply of bacillus thurengensis pellets and put them in every body of standing water around the propert

Absolutely, every time I have had a job that I couldn't answer these two questions with a confident affirmation, I have burned out in under a year. It certainly is a trial of your moral hierarchy when you are forced to pit financial a

Fuck all the people responding to with shameful posts about breast feeding being better. I did a fair amount of research into why, and the only conclusive thing a found was that breast feeding increased IQ by like 2 points. That is massiv

Come to Maine. Billboards are illegal here! All of the surrounding states talk about how beautiful it is here, I think that a huge part of the beauty is the lack of forced exposure to advertisement on our highways. (though the beautiful

I'd say higher demand led to more R&D. Supply alone wouldn't drive the price declines, as it used to cost too much to produce high battery capacity so there was a price floor. As demand increased, justifying the R&D help

I have only really done technical interviews. My process is to give the resume a once over to understand what technologies and project they have used that I have a deep understanding of. I then prepare a few questions around those areas a

Fist off, its a virus not a microorganism. Second, high humidity reduces the spread of viruses. That is why you get the common cold more often in winter, when it is very dry.

We're starting to see the mass layoffs begin. I wonder how much effort it would be for a company like Amazon to employ them as Temps. There is going to be a massive increase in availability of skilled workers looking for something to

I forgot to answer your other question about tracking employee engagement. We make people track their work down to the 15 minute increment, and make sure they hit specific allocations per project exactly. We also micromanage their tasks i

We like to encourage developers to go for certifications in the technologies that we use (AWS certifications, Snowflake certifications, etc). Our vizualization folks get Tableau and PowerBI certified. We also have some Tableau admin certi

Hah, too true. I find giving them smaller, well defined tasks and checking in frequently helps erk some productivity out of them. Also having lots of check-ins and pair-debugging sessions opens the door for a lot of mentoring opportunities

I think you're on to something here. I certainly value a lot of freedom and need the challenge of solving big problems myself. I get demoralized when some scrum master is breaking everything down into tiny tickets and only doling me

I'm with you man. Never held a job for more than a year or so. Though for me it is because I quit once I feel myself losing interest. Nothing gives a jolt to my apathy quite like quitting with nothing else lined up. This will prove

I'm surprised to see only a cursory mention of Snowflake in this article. In my experience, they are really the pioneers of the new distributed, cloud-first database. They really enabled large scale relational data warehouses, and ar

Yea I'm not sure what the alternative would be. You can do some drag and drop dashboard creation or export small data sets to excel, but at some point you gotta get to SQL if you want all of the expressability.

I do. I work in data consulting. I prefer tableau on top of snowflake for 99% of jobs, but for massively scaling insert performance elasticsearch has a niche. Kibana seems like a mishmash of different products duct taped together, but fo

Look at the cost of existing databases that do this. Snowflake, Elasticsearch, etc. Their pricing models are public.

It is surprisingly difficult for private sector data scientists and engineers to help with any type of research. Universities look at data problems and just throw unpaid/underpaid graduate and undergraduate students at the problems.

+1 for high adrenaline sports. Everyone is different, but I sure find that if I don't get my heart pumping from an extreme sport once a week, then I fall into a slump of boredom and lack of motivation.

Generally yes. You can use gui tools like Matillion or AlteryX to orchestrate, or you can just run SQL as commands or view materializations. With the advent of natively scalable SQL based databases such as Snowflake, SQL is clawing back t

Same thing happened to me, right around the same time. Also my hijacker shared a similar taste in music to yours! Spotify denied that they had any database breaches, but I only use that password for spotify so I find that highly unlikely.
