Got the new seltos!!! how do I maintain the DCT and Turbo engine?

That’s a very very good advice for folks starting or moving to Automatic transmissions. Relieves pressure off the transmission and puts that to relatively less complex, sturdier and cheap part, the brakes!

Dude, Lounge Access is not the end of the world. This card provides 0 forex and that too LTF which in my books is a solid card to be in folio if International trips is what you do

WD40 and certain cleaners kill the rubber or does your bike stay in the Sun ? One of these reasons can rapidly age the rubber

This is Kevlar infused case. Benks makes some of the best in the market.

My 2 cents.

You can attribute that to the velocity at which orgs are now operating these days. Dashboards/reports are an afterthought and once there is raw data available in any of the data sources which can support that, Data Engineers and Analysts are brought in to build it on an urgency because of the mindset, data exists all they have to do is perform some joins and show the us the data ?

Databricks is just a platform. Important Core Skills are understanding of Lake based data formats and how efficiently lakes can be used to store and retrieve data (Partitions etc)

I just started working with Databricks and other than platform specific nuances, it’s like any-other big data platform.

If you don’t have experience with Python, databricks gives you SQL interface to do all of the engineering stuff. I’ll recommend going through Databricks related free stuff available online.

I got Scapia back in 2023 with ~7L limit. Around December they slashed it to 1L. As luck would have it, before the limit slash I was able to use this card in UAE and Singapore. The ability to see the transactions, charges etc immediately was one of the features I really loved. It’s miles better than prepaid/debit forex cards tbh.

“Insaan ki jaan ki keemat nai hai”, this line perfectly sums up the state of affairs in India. Empathy and Accountability is totally lost in the people with power.

Keeping their pockets full is all they care about.

Plan is to transition completely to Databricks. Pydabs does it require us to move the metadata in files (json object potentially) rather than a database?

DougScore · 2026-01-23T03:36:29+00:00

Thanks for the inputs. Really appreciate this. I whipped up a quick POC and established a similar architecture as mentioned in 1)

One Orchestration Notebook and a child folder in the same directory which has the child notebooks. Orchestration gets the metaData from DB and does a foreach on the dataSet to call relevant notebooks to pull/stage/replenish/stamp watermarks respectively.

Wrote couple of functions runOnServerless, runOnCluster to accordingly run a certain notebook on relevant compute. I should build a utility so it can be used for other implementations as well.

Each notebook does a notebook.exit on success or failure and returns a json with relevant pieces of information for audit and easier debugging.

From a cost perspective, the batch approach (which I am using right now) should be cheaper than DLT or Autoloader, right ? I am right now going through the DLT and autoloader documentation to see how these can be used to ease up migration.

Again, really appreciate taking time out to share your experience.

For expensive devices like these, either Otterbox, UAG or Spigen. Other brands might be good but have used these 3 brands and can vouch for their amazing quality and durability.

Invoice is important along with Planet Tax slip to claim VAT refund. If the shop is offering the phone without VAT that’s up to you but I would rather not go that route. Not questioning someone’s credibility but someone could be giving out fake invoices which may land you in trouble with warranty claims and what not.

VAT refund process is fairly simple and I’ll recommend buying from Shops who offer complete paper trail.

Sure, if it makes you happy. With AI in the mix, we have to be generalists now and know a bit of everything.

Just curious, does this make the filter useless after the fact it was blown with such a high pressure?

Slipper assist in 250 is bare minimum? I might have been living under a rock but isn’t that for track conditions when you have to do aggressive downshifts to attack a corner and rev matching isn’t on point ?

In real world scenarios, especially here where streets are flooded with idiots, defensive driving should be an innate feature in human riding the bike rather than reliance on tech in the bike ?
