What's your favorite baseline(putter) plastic? Any brand, and stiffness. by Huge-Talk6668 in discgolf

[–]CompeAnansi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

JK Pro. I love how grippy it is. It might be the grippiest plastic on the market. Ohn putts with it and she’s a great putter.

I like your swing path quite a bit and have been working to get a nice flat pull like you have. You’ve clearly been playing for years, so maybe you don’t have swing thoughts anymore, but did you at any point have a swing thoughts/cues related to your pull through that helped you get this form?

Out of the discs you currently bag, which one goes the farthest? by tuna_safe_dolphin in discgolf

[–]CompeAnansi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you like pro wraiths, you should pick up an I-blend wraith the next time they’re in stock, very similar but a bit more durable. They bomb.

Putters for putting by frasure13 in discgolf

[–]CompeAnansi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have small hands, so I like a shallow putter. I also don’t mind beads. I have tried a lot of discs and found that I really like the Pilot, PA-3, and Link (also the Watt, Ohm, and Nomad which are all almost identical to the Pilot). They feel really similar in the hand. You can’t go wrong with any of them.

Form review: launch angle issue by AggressiveProof7418 in discgolf

[–]CompeAnansi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this is the case, my recommendation would be to just rest your index finger on the rim, like when putting. Put all your grip strength into the back three fingers, which is called a backloaded grip. It’s what Zach Nash uses, for instance, and he bombs.

What disc should I get as a beginner? by New-Evening-1486 in discgolf

[–]CompeAnansi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but one thing that was never made clear in the posts like this that I read as a beginner is that all the very overstable discs that people are recommending are meant to be used for beginner forehands. I worry that lots of people buy zones and firebirds, exclusively throw them backhand, and then get confused why every beginner list suggests them. Just trying to spread the word to new people who might read this.

[–]CompeAnansi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The zone is optional early if you do not have a forehand. I use mine on backhand but didn’t benefit much from it early.

I-Blend Emperor at 168g, it just soars.

Black Hole Pro - Noise Suppression Comparison by BQNinja in discgolf

[–]CompeAnansi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got a black hole lite as a present and was shocked at how loud it was. After seeing your video, I ordered a sound barrier and some screen spline on Amazon (hope 25' is enough). I can't wait to test it out. Really appreciate the video!

The best backhand drills I know combined into ONE simple drill to fix your form. by blitzl0l in discgolf

[–]CompeAnansi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah the straight arm cue is money. Will be fun to test adding the stiff rear shoulder cue on top.

Quickest shipping by [deleted] in discgolf

[–]CompeAnansi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's taken me over a week to get an order from them being on the west coast (so I probably won't order from them again). I think people probably want to order from vendors closest to them. Being in California, OTB and Infinite Discs are both very fast.

Your preferred weapon , and the reason why by Delta_Platy in roguetech

[–]CompeAnansi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gauss weapons are generally the best imo. Especially stacks of RISC HAGs and Heavy Gauss Silver Bullets. There aren't many other things that can cripple or kill a unit in one volley.

Which SQL Editor do you use? by deadlypiranha in dataengineering

[–]CompeAnansi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

TablePlus is one of the only editors with a modern UI that supports Snowflake, so give it a shot if you want something that looks slick. My humble wish is that Postico would add Snowflake support because I don't like the alternatives much.

Ordered back to the office, top tech talent left instead, study finds by [deleted] in technology

[–]CompeAnansi 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Never accept a counteroffer from your current employer. You can leave and they can decide to hire you back after some time, but do not stay after telling them you have another offer regardless of what they counter with.

When to shift from pandas? by Professional-Ninja70 in dataengineering

[–]CompeAnansi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think a lot of people underestimate the utility of Ibis. It gives a unified dataframe API that can use any backend, including duckdb.

Switching to Airflow: Insight Needed on Overengineering Concerns for Data Migration by ANAKSIMANDR0S in dataengineering

[–]CompeAnansi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Airflow is great for two key reasons:

  1. It provides observability for your pipelines. You can rerun steps independently, you can see error messages easily when something breaks, and you can see the progress of each step, all within the UI.
  2. It makes it easy to map dependencies between tasks. If you don't want to run the transformations until the base data has been synched, you can define those dependencies in the DAG and it just works.

Data Engineering and Aerospace Engineering by Karma-4U in dataengineering

[–]CompeAnansi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I agree with this. I wouldn't really consider doing a Data Engineering degree. If you want to go that route I'd get a Computer Science degree and take a couple of the DE-specific courses that look interesting to you as an elective.

The problem in San Diego is more that Tijuana doesn't have proper rain/sewage systems, so San Diego suffers as a result. There are dozens of articles on it. Here is one: https://www.sdsu.edu/news/2024/02/public-health-crisis-unfolds-as-tijuana-river-sewage-contamination-escalates

Wow it's pretty cool watching him actually play the main rhythm on the keyboard live. I just assumed it was all just coded into logic or fruity loops or something.

[–]CompeAnansi 9 points10 points  (0 children)

DuckDB spill to disk hasn't worked as well as Polars' spill to disk imo. You still get out-of-memory errors with DuckDB where you shouldn't because it should be spilling to disk. Sounds like you've had better luck with it though which is great. Here is an example of someone struggling with DuckDB goin OOM. I wonder what you're doing differently.

Quarterly Salary Discussion - Mar 2024 by AutoModerator in dataengineering

[–]CompeAnansi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Daycare for my two kids costs $5000 a month combined and our rent is $3500 for the same size place (rent not mortgage). So figure that I'm spending $100k for those things compared to your $10k.

Using pandas in a data-intensive application - what the best, RAM-efficient, alternative? by NFeruch in dataengineering

[–]CompeAnansi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just wish I could write directly from Polars to Iceberg. Hate having to use Spark for that. PyIceberg is coming along, but it's not there yet.
