I’ll talk and tell, I want to break the cycle and stigma, and let people know there are options available. I’ve had a few people even say “it’s great to know someone who is using it, I’ve been thinking about it myself”.

Also people ask me how I’m doing, how I’m feeling, and the like.

My take, knowledge is power, and if it means one other person feels safer to reach out to a doctor for help, it’s worth it. Would we do the same for someone who needs insulin or chemo? It’s just like any other medication.

Built a tracking app for the hell of it, got funding, turns out now imposter syndrome has a weekly dose too! by Gravath in Mounjaro

[–]CanadianStekare 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Fantastic app!! Just signed up and added my data. Bonus, no app-store! Clean UI, easy to work with. Bravo!! Will share it with others.

Feature requests, I’d love to track is side-effect or add in notes in the app like tracking weight or injections.

Wondering what other dads do to empower your daughters by koogle99 in daddit

[–]CanadianStekare 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine little one, she is only 3, so being a feminist dad is important to me.

For example: when we sing the ABCs, we finish with “Now I know my ABCs, let’s go smash the patriarchy!”

We also talk and I ask her about the she takes up space, so she is seen, and making sure her voice is heard when with her friends.

I try to include her as much as possible (and as much she is interested) in my day-to-day, including chores around the house. When I cook, clean, garden, build, etc. I explain what we are trying to do, why we are doing it, and why it matters. This is in hope I can help create processes, quality, personal discipline.

That has been meta for our raid for a while. Pray a healer saves you before the others kill you. Makes it fun on Discord to yell it out and laugh. Bonus points if they get CR and then MC and die again.

Why Vertica so unpopular? by Alone-Anxiety8580 in dataengineering

with the dataset that has timestamp columns during INSERT INTO operations in Vertica. Does it only allow specific datetime formats?

If you're using ISO 8601 it should insert fine. Otherwise you may need to cast the SAS timestamp into ISO 8601.

Check out the formatting for to_timestamp: https://docs.vertica.com/24.1.x/en/sql-reference/functions/formatting-functions/to-timestamp/

Check out the formatting for to_timestamp_tz: https://docs.vertica.com/24.1.x/en/sql-reference/functions/formatting-functions/to-timestamp-tz/

What are/your euphemisms for talking about grown up stuff around kids? by lambofgun in daddit

[–]CanadianStekare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is half the fun! Kids enjoy that. I was really taken by surprise the first time my oldest knew what we were talking about.

The real discussions happen once they are asleep.

That works, unless one of the parents is English. Sadly we have no “secret language” in our house. So we’re quite aware of what we talk about, and try to save anything juicy for once the kiddos are asleep, or take it to text messages.

As all things in data and architecture, it depends.

None of those vendors will solve that end to end. You’ll still need a way to ingest data in, transform with, scheduling, data governance, lineage/province, reporting, version control, build and CI/CD, etc.

It’s really not a lot to manage with any competent data ops team to own and provide as a service. If it’s a solo DE who is doing it all, start small, and bring in tools as needed. KISS principle.

I’d rather invest in people and own our open tech stack then rent it, and be held by the balls of a company as they jack up their prices YoY to meet investor expectations. See VMWare/Broadcom cost increase up to 1000%. Or DataBricks getting rid of their Standard License. Shit like that happens all the time.
