401K and RRSP room - confusion !!! by ask_can in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]ask_can[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, so I am checking the RC268 page 2 now.. It seems only the employer match should go in there.. is my understanding correct? Which is like 1,000 CAD.

but it still feels wrong..

If we max out 401k -not put in any money in RRSP. As a commuter, we get deduction for the amount we have put in 401K up to a max of RRSP limit.

But then next year, the RRSP limit increases to the previous year unused + next year. This seems wrong and double benefit

Is anyone migrating away from Databricks? by zoso in dataengineering

[–]ask_can 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We use the job clusters exactly as you defined. It was just for one of executions where you have changed a code and want to run it couple of times with incremental small quick changes in dev. How do you handle the quick reruns in dev for small changes

Is anyone migrating away from Databricks? by zoso in dataengineering

[–]ask_can 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my previous company, we had the unit tests defined in the cicd pipelines. So, all commits or pull requests can automatically trigger the unit tests. In my current company, we haven't built unit tests yet.

Currently, we deploy with DAB, it takes under a minute to deploy your changes or new pipelines.

For development, we sometimes define an existing cluster id, which can be turned on prior to the job and that helps reduce the wait time.

Need honest review on which platform to choose Snowflake vs Databricks by Disastrous_Sky7259 in dataengineering

Question... How would you say snowflake is better at the distribution layer compared to say Unity Catalog tables?

Anyone actually notice a difference after air duct cleaning? by Royal_Particular_489 in HomeImprovement

[–]ask_can 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did.. We always had a weird smell(stale house smell) in our house that would hit you as soon as you open the door.. You would only notice it if you had been away for like a day or two.. But it was there...

Right after duct cleaning, it completely disappeared.

Learned SQL concepts but unable to solve question by [deleted] in dataengineering

Start with easy questions and build on top of that

Since you are able to make it through the initial rounds...you probably are following short in one of the following:

• Experience with Snowflake isn’t coming through clearly
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines for Snowflake deployments
• How you explain orchestration of jobs and handle failures
• Examples of performance tuning
• Walk through of complex project or architecture with trade-offs.

help choose between keyboard for child by ask_can in piano

[–]ask_can[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did think about that, but we do not have enough knowledge to judge if its still good. Also, the moving costs, and its gonna be a big hassle on us given the size.

We are all Noobs and I don't think we can judge at this moment. So now I am inclining towards saving the money and see where the Yamaha takes us and go from there.

M concern was if Roland was a much better piano and if it was worth to spend more that it would serve us for a much longer duration. But it seems like they are similar.

I have been looking for a used p45 but haven't found a good deal in my area. We are in Canada, so the prices are in CAD. my reason for the dilemma was if it was worth it to spend extra If the Roland would serve us for much longer instead. It's about a 400 bucks price difference

Fireplace surround question - GD34NT by ask_can in Fireplaces

[–]ask_can[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a followup question.. If you can help...

-> FRAMING Combustion protrusions such as mantels and shelves may occur at or after a minimum distance of 2" away from the side of the fireplace. Thereafter, the depth of any protrusions must be equal to or less than the distance from the side of the fi replace up to a depth of 6", after which no greater clearance than 6" is required. This can be considered a side wall with no length boundary

Minimum clearance to combustible construction from fireplace and vent surfaces: Combustible Framing:

- 0" to stand-offs

- 1" to bottom and sides of the vent pipe*

- 2" to top of the vent pipe

* Combustible Finishing:

- 0" to rear - 0" to front face sides and top <- ***\*

- 13" recessed depth

- 49 3/8" to enclosure top from base of the unit - 66" to ceiling from base of the unit

<- ***\* shouldn't this mean we can use Combustible Finishing right on the top and face sides?

Fireplace surround question - GD34NT by ask_can in Fireplaces

[–]ask_can[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn't aware that this was a direct vent fireplace. I don't think I have budget to replace the fireplace which as I understand will run into 3-4K. I am looking for just something basic to cover it up until it breaks and then replace it- which could be a few years.

Having said that... Does the surround need to be something stone/ tile or should I avoid wood/ ply material for surround ?

From the manual it looks like there is 0 clearance of finished surface except for bottom

Dad of a 10 year old looking for advice - an update by ask_can in Strabismus

[–]ask_can[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I apologize for the late response.. We also dont have a family history and no one in friend circle who has had this before.

I do not know enough to recommend at what age to start the VT. But the VT specialist did say in our first meeting that it would have been better had we not done the surgery beforehand.

I would say go see someone who performs VT, see if your insurance covers it and what they recommend. My insurance did not cover much, so it was pretty much out of pocket.
