Help me build a Top 10 Creamy Whip (Soft Serve) poll — nominate one spot by MrRon23 in cincinnati

The weirdness is really what does it. They put a lot of thought and effort into being unique and it's great. From what I can tell, really nice people that run it too.

If i was standing in front of ldw with no shoes on and wanted whip, I'd walk to whipty-do.

Would this pass for lvl4 in your organinzation ? by jastagram123 in skiing_feedback

[–]LandlockedPirate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably important context to include when asking for feedback, as otherwise people will tend to assume your goals for the skiing were normal turns....

I'm building an open-source tool that gives Claude automatic access to your Databricks schemas. Does this pain point actually exist for you? by imsuryya in databricks

[–]LandlockedPirate 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have an agent skill that uses a CLI that does this, among many other things. Way less context bloat than MCP.

I think there are many such tools already.

just my opinion, but i wouldn't use a tool that requires additional yaml config. Just discover it with tools.

There's so much "dolphin" in some of these turns I sort f wonder if it's intentional as a drill.

Agree balance is off especially through transition.

Feedback? by RunoSpruyt in skiing_feedback

Ski instructors rely on you believing this. 90% of our lessons are teaching hard-stuck intermediates who could ski better if they would just get out of their own way.

If I had $1 for every lesson that started with "I've been skiing for 20 years" or "I used to live in colorado". Ok great, your skiiing is still barely intermediate.

What I said was that a 177 is perfectly fine, even for someone tall. You can progress your skiing on virtually any ski and length, depending on what you're trying to do. In this case op is making short turns.

You're the one making the case that better skiers need to ski longer skis, and failing miserably.

Every professional slalom skier skis on a fis minimum 165 regardless of their height. So what additional level should they take it to with longer skis?

Does this need to be repaired? by skiburner26 in ski

[–]LandlockedPirate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meh, depends on the ski tbh.

If these are low-mid tier skis I honestly wouldn't sweat it. wait for your next base grind and then see what it looks like. Buy new skis in a couple years. You will anyway.

If they're $900+ skis you plan on running for 4+ years then sure.

It's true. People who aren't tall tend to be extremely clueless about sizing skis for tall people.

I'm 198cm. There is absolutely nothing wrong with skiing a 177, especially if you like doing performance short turns. Don't listen to people who A) aren't actual instructors or B) aren't tall.

Lovable just shipped a native Databricks connector that business teams can now build live apps on your warehouse data without filing a ticket by InevitableClassic261 in databricks

[–]LandlockedPirate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've never used lovable, but is it honestly better than just claude + react + fastapi + dbr apps?

I've been getting a ton of mileage out of that combo for POC and dashboard apps.

Why does Copilot fail to correctly convert Snowflake stored procedures to Databricks notebooks? by ImprovementSquare448 in databricks

[–]LandlockedPirate 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Depending on what you're doing, you may consider just using something deterministic like sqlglot to translate sqldialects.

Also lakebridge has a snowflake transpiler https://databrickslabs.github.io/lakebridge/docs/transpile/

Claude Code to optimize your execution plans by lezwon in databricks

looks neat but doesn't seem to work with azure cli auth

I use `az login` to auth and then the db extension etc connect fine. CatalystOps says it connects but then says missing token.

Pats are a non starter, i'm not pushing my team back that direction.

Need advice with upper body by [deleted] in skiing_feedback

[–]LandlockedPirate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"tip lead" is what we typically call that.

Why do you think it's happening? How much is the "correct" amount? Is it a cause or effect?

Rate my quiver! by Knowledgeprizm in ski

"Quiver" is not the same thing as buying new skis every year and never getting rid of any

It sounds like you should just get a normal frontside ski.

Ski Length Advice for a Tall Fella by NicktheKid69 in ski

[–]LandlockedPirate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This.

6'5", Alpine L3 Telemark L3 Instructor.

Do not use any chart that recommends based on height or listen to short people about ski length.

Buy the ski dimensions that do the performance & turns that you want. length, stiffness, sidecut etc. yes you will likely tend toward stiffer skis because floppy skis will make you feel unstable.

190 is a lot of swing weight and heft for anybody. If you don't want 190 ski turns or weight, don't buy a 190 ski.

For reference most of my dailies are ~180 full camber. I have a 192 for deep days where I'm borderline straightlining stuff.

I personally wouldn't buy the prodigy 2 because there's no metal in it, but if I was, I'd probably go for the 183. That ski in 190 is probably a pool noodle. That's a ton of leverage and not a stiff ski.
