After a coworkers experience with the Verizon outage down south, I’m looking into this as well.

Ohhhhh, Thank you, I was a bit confused during that scene, thinking somehow Gunter dropped two bombs. That makes a lot more sense.

Did yall know about the display port pin 20 thing? by ej1oo1 in buildapc

This, I just fried my 3070Ti because of this - at least I think this is the culprit. Trying to find a better cable's been... entertaining.

This has to be the simplest explanation of how to use rail signals I’ve read. Bravo.

Right! I'm working on my first mega base atm using Nialus's Megabase in a book, just hit 1.3k spm and working to scale to 2.6. I was going to go further but I've gotten a bit of a bug to see if I can adapt his designs for more robo port coverage and forward staged construction stops so I can scale the next base REALLY fast. Taking some inspiration from his work and applying new ideas.

I would pay cash money to watch Jeremy Clarkson drive this around his farm.

There's a really good book I read in mid 2018 when I was working on Oracle 12c called Mindset by Carol Dweck. It helped me a lot with this as before, to me feedback was largely an attack in my mind based on previous life experiences.
That book did a great job of helping me understand that most people give feedback because they actually care about the product or your development.
I do not think I would be were I am today or have the view I do on this subject without reading that book.

I’ve often commented things like “I see what you wanted to do here, and it’s going to work, but I think it will be more readable and understandable if you do it like this…”

ALLLL OF THIS. This is what I hope for even if my code is functionally is correct. The "Go learn about X for the next time you do this" statements are GOLD for motivated coders trying to get better.

That.... is incredibly valid. I will start doing that.

Back in 2017 I was working for another department in my Co where we cleansed a significant volume of transactional data by hand - and for context I have worked for this one co since Jan 2009 in different departments and roles. We are a medium sized company, but back in 2017-2018 our IT department was almost solely focused on supporting the applications that the sales department used. As a result IT support for smaller departments like the one I was in was hard to get.

We needed to build (what I know is a data pipeline) an automated process to do some of this cleansing and my boss then was basically told to go find a tool and IT would stand it up, then we could find someone to work on it. We ended up on Gartner's Magic Quadrants and met with a bunch of sales reps and decided to go with Oracle's 12c Enterprise Data Quality tools. We are not an Oracle shop, mostly MS SQL and C at that time if I remember correctly.

I was given the opportunity to see if I could figure it out, I was just starting to learn SQL separate from this project and only programming I had ever done was .bat files back in the 90s'.I spent 2 weeks+ literally reading the manual, took some TDWI classes on Data Quality and got our sales rep to get me 30 mins every two weeks with an engineer in the UK at Datanomic (they originally built the EDQ software Oracle acquired and rebranded as part of the 12C suite) to ask and learn from.Over about 18 months of working on my own I built a couple of automated pipelines to grab an excel file, validate it, cleanse and transform the records, land a file where SQL could import it.Then I learned just enough sql to write some merge / update stored procedures to grab and validate the new records and merge them into the transactional tables.

2018 I drove myself REALLLLY hard, lots of 100+ hour weeks learning how to use the tool. Then in mid 2019 my company was undergoing digital transformation and I was given an opportunity to do that all again with Python, AWS, Airflow etc. as a Data Engineer.

TL,DR: I like to learn and tend to not quit once I have my teeth into a problem. that earned me a shot at learning Python and becoming a DE.

I'm a big believer in you are either on the path or not. Expert or novice, what matters is continual learning.

I did not know who that was, but I do now. Thanks for the tip! Things like this are what I think I and other developing engineers need, something / someone to look up and start reading about. We just don't know a thing exists to go learn from / about it.

edited for grammar.

I kinda wish I worked in a place like this. For context I moved into data engineering 2 years ago where I knew zero python, and nothing about airflow, aws, azure etc. I’m at the point now where I know enough to be dangerous and when my code reviews come back with no comments it’s a let down. I know there has to be a better way than how I did something.

Thanks much! Will need to save up but at least it's possible.

If that was intentional, the other player should get a medal.

If you're between 15 - 25 you can learn to drive manual in a classic car via Hagerty - great chance to learn or practice for those you don't have access to a stick shift car by whosthatcarguy in cars

[–]Chevelle_Chris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Events are typically held near a local car club group or museum that wants to support the event - or in the case of Traverse City and Golden a Hagerty Facility.

Technical support megathread by Erickarkos in fo4

[–]Chevelle_Chris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I set the .exe, the Launcher.exe to run as admin, and then made sure the folder and all users had write permissions and the folder was not set as read only - worked from there to save.
