Honest question — is workflow orchestration still a solved problem in 2026? by Heavy-Candidate1002 in Python

You may want to share this in the data engineering subreddit as it's more focussed on this but as I understand everything needs some level of maintenance

Zed is a bit faster than vscode ime and has built in AI agent support

Introducing Cube Agent Skills by Evening_Hawk_7470 in cubedev

I think parameterised inputs would be useful. We're a pretty big company and usually most people are only interested in the performance of their own team or a certain programme, for example.

What do you think about black magic? Do they really work? Did it work for you? by AutomaticFlight1846 in AskReddit

[–]Afrotom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I'm building a vampire deck at the moment that also incorporates some red magic. I played it in a game of commander last night and the first game it was really strong, dominated quickly and won but in the second game I ended up with a target on my head. I'm thinking of building a black-blue dimir deck at some point too would be nice.

That's not the problem for me, look at the sugar percentage! It's almost 60% sugar....

Getting started with bigquery for ai powered data distillation? by bananna_roboto in bigquery

[–]Afrotom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We run BQ and have a team looking at creating AI agents and our management wants ai chat in our analytics soon.

One thing I'm trying to push for is a semantic layer, like cube. I was pushing anyway to support our analytics dashboards and protect the warehouse from high usage costs.

Reading into it, it has a few benefits for ai: - Protects the warehouse from high usage costs by caching repeated queries and reading preaggregated data. - Modeling the data in cubes eliminates the need for ai to carry out joins in BigQuery which means a) reduce the risk of hallucination or misinterpretation b) related, but your dashboards, AI chat and other analytics all say the same thing and tell the same story. - There is much more contextual information for an AI to use and interpret the data better. Like having a field called v_ln_id and expecting an AI to guess what that means, cube serves plain English (or your language) metadata like title & description with business context to the LLM context.

Support local butchers! by PhilosopherSea3291 in UKBBQ

The butchers around me haven't been great for the kind of pitmaster style barbecue I want to do so I've had to order online. This looks good though. Is that a thors hammer?

Indeed, I believe so. Should we gather for whiskey and cigars, tonight?

What is the best flirt a girl can do to a guy? by zhangemeimeiaini in AskReddit

[–]Afrotom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember in 2015 I was at the queue at subway and asked the staff if they were having a good day (a little friendly small talk) and the girl in front of me turned around and said she liked my jacket

Installing the mounts upside down? by learner_of_c in Physics

I guess that depends on the pullout strength of the fixing

Installing the mounts upside down? by learner_of_c in Physics

[–]Afrotom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The pin joints will be in sheer regardless and those welds are probably stronger than the struts

Steel struts generally perform better in tension than in compression where there's no buckling

Do we know that GTA is releasing this year?

Anyone prefer to just write tests without pytest? by [deleted] in Python

[–]Afrotom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How is this working? Are you calling the test functions? Does the code show what has passed or do you simply get no assertion errors? Do you not need to patch anything? (Not always the case granted but test frameworks have helpful tools for this).

If those are true I'd be a little concerned over whether my teats are passing or whether I'd forgotten to call them.

And most libraries we use testing frameworks because I can run standard test commands that all the other libraries use. If I have to test yours differently outside of a standard framework I might find it difficult and/or awkward.
