We are a small data consultancy, so we use other/more diverse things for customers, but our internal stack is fairly simple: Hubspot/Jira/G Suite → (Python) → PostgreSQL → (SQL) → Tableau Since we are Tableau partners, we hav

I'm not a big fan of putting my password (encrypted or not) somewhere where I don't have control. Therefore, I am using Passbolt[0] at work, since that gets me a browser addon plus web ui, while it also allows me to host it myself

"This guy" was Niklas Luhmann, by the way, an influential (and regularly misunderstood) German sociologist and social theorist, heavily inspired by Parsons and cybernetics.

I think Tableau Server works better on Linux, where upgrades etc. are also somewhat less painful and require less downtime. That said, it baffles me why I have to restart Tableau Server 3 or 4 times during installation, and why I have to re

Oh hey, maybe this will mean somebody at Tableau has to start to give a damn about enterprise features, such as a way to do product activation and registration that doesn't fail completely in non-persistent virtual desktop environments

Note that a data lake does not necessarily replace the data warehouse, but rather often complements it. As such, you store your raw data from various sources in a centralised data store (Hadoop-like, NoSQL, etc.). From there, you prune, cle

Kyle Rankin gave a (very good) keynote at FOSDEM 2019 about this topic, harkening back to the Unix wars, Sun etc. He has some really nice one-liners. Video is available here: https://fosdem.org/2019/schedule/event&

There is a "suggestion" somewhere that asked them to implement service accounts for API access. They essentially replied with "this is a good idea and we should do this". That post was from 2012 or so, and we still don&#

openSUSE still "uses" YaST, as in, if you choose to change something via YaST, it will happily do so. You can also simply install/uninstall various components. It also happily integrates with changes made elsewhere (e.g. th

Correct. I'd say openSUSE is more akin to Fedora in that context as both base and development distribution for SLES, much like Fedora is for RHEL (which in turn then "becomes" CentOS).

It is, or rather it would be, if more cloud providers etc. bothered to provide images. Indeed, I think that RedHat & SuSe are very similar in their ideas and in their usage patterns. Both contribute quite a bit to upstream projects (the

Ugh, just saw your comment now. I wrote a bit more in a sibling comment about openSUSE. For some reason, people seem to either sneer at openSUSE (probably people who go way back?) or are simply unaware of anything it does and/or its ex

openSUSE uses the Open Build Service[0] to build, well, openSUSE. OBS also supports other distributions etc., but it makes it fairly easy to put up a package.[1] For RPM-based distros (e.g. openSUSE), you write a .spec-file, check it in via

Podman doesn't have a daemon like Docker does. It also more tightly integrates with buildah, which the article doesn't expand on. Have a look at this (very brief) overview to get a bit better idea of their relationship: https:&#x

The first mentions of Hitler in the Simplicissimus , a fairly widely read and well-regarded contemporary Munich-based journal, appear in 1922, and this picks up the following year. Since the Simplicissimus is mostly satirical in its gest

This probably depends on your implementation of choice and what counts as "everyday" programming. Racket has a minor language for shell mix-ins[1] and Racket itself has some nice ways of dealing with command-line arguments[2]. How
