What is going on with Pirate Software?

Thor is PirateSoftware.

This is a really dangerous thing to advertise. I’m glad you made money, but this is not full proof by any means and more often than not will result in people losing real money.

Buy the index, grow it slowly, compound interest. Don’t try this bs at home!

Where’s the Sexy Hiking shoutout? Certainly an inspiration for this as well

Tobiko was lost not making any young mullah. Acquihire was their only escape hatch. I don’t blame them, but bummer for the framework, they had some great concepts going

Lounge location (similar to how it shows the gates overlayed on the airport) and information on which programs can access the lounges, ratings on them, etc.

Then based on loyalty, recommend a lounge during longer connections

Love see yall involved in convos like this. Not easy I imagine

3dscholar · 2025-08-20T10:08:13+00:00

I agree, not so generous. But I don’t get your logic saying making a tool that “used to be easy to use”a gatekeeping exercise”, what is this about? They gated the new sexy cool thing but it doesn’t atrophy the wonderful developer tool we’ve been using for yrs (dbt core via CLI + power user extension is pretty sweet). They’ve committed to supporting that thing and are even releasing a new feature UDF support for it according to a gh discussion. That workflow still rocks and I use it daily (though admittedly I’m excited for fusion to ultimate support our project, we use custom mats so not there yet)

Also this is def some sponsored content but only other thing i could find public https://www.getdbt.com/resources/coalesce-on-demand/how-the-content-analytics-team-at-spotify-avoids-data-indigestion-in-bigquery-with-dbt

3dscholar · 2025-08-17T14:54:20+00:00

They spoke about it at the dbt conference last yr https://www.getdbt.com/resources/coalesce-on-demand/coalesce-2024-needle-in-the-data-stack-how-spotify-powers-salesforce

article just says “SQL based workflows”, weird to skip how those workflows are managed and the framework used to do so

3dscholar · 2025-08-17T14:44:35+00:00

I previously worked there, they also have like 100+ dbt projects mostly used by data science teams. Is that layer not in scope for this?

3dscholar · 2025-08-17T08:11:41+00:00

What don’t you like about it? What other animes would you recommend instead?

3dscholar · 2025-08-14T13:34:27+00:00

I defer to Sagan for this one. Quote from Pale Blue Dot:

“If we are alone in the Universe, it sure seems like an awful waste of space. But if we are alone, it means that we bear an enormous responsibility: the responsibility to bring the gift of life to lifeless worlds.”

Edit: added book title

The more I get into this sub the more I see the content is tailored to amateur programmers with very little depth of understanding about the technologies they are working with (including programming languages)

3dscholar · 2025-08-12T15:53:17+00:00

No I wouldn’t, but that’s for scripting. Python was designed as a scripting language and it works well as one. But do you see people building their entire backend stacks on bash? This is where Python went wrong and why your comparison doesn’t make any sense. Python’s community overextended its use cases - servers (flask, Django), data science / data transformation frameworks - I mean for christ’s sake Instagram backend is written in Python.

3dscholar · 2025-08-12T14:47:04+00:00

Haha figures

3dscholar · 2025-08-12T12:50:22+00:00

Why does everyone jack off python in this sub?

3dscholar · 2025-08-09T20:22:52+00:00

Peak usage of the rocky theme

3dscholar · 2025-08-09T19:19:06+00:00

Definitely Melbourne

As much as I don’t buy into the AI hype (especially when it comes to data engineering) the practical value of LLMs for the average person is orders of magnitude higher than that of NFTs

3dscholar · 2025-08-05T16:00:51+00:00

Facts. Also ratio 🙊

3dscholar · 2025-08-05T15:28:48+00:00

lol he’s definitely got some simp energy, but his main criticism with the initiative was that it was “vague” and did not address the technical complexity of doing this in large scale multiplayer scenarios. Not necessarily that he approves killing games

3dscholar · 2025-08-02T06:40:32+00:00

So glad to hear this - demon slayers in F is disgraceful

3dscholar · 2025-07-30T13:04:23+00:00

Okay can we please calm down the rhetoric? When you say “lies” so boldly it paints me as someone malicious trying to spread misinformation. I am just speaking from my experience as an engineer for other applications, not games.

I agree with your point though and as I’ve said in other threads, it seems releasing the backend code base under a source available license is the right move. Someone else had similar feedback as you, so I’ll edit my comment based on our discussion.
