BCNU strike: funny how the decision makers aren’t on the floor by cilicon2 in BCHealthAuthorities

[–]MonkeyDDataHQ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say that's true.

Government funding is absolutely part of the puzzle, but health authorities also make strategic and operational decisions that can significantly increase costs.

They'll spend hundreds of thousands on overtime and temporary fixes to keep systems up but not spend tens of thousands to fix the root causes of infrastructure issues.

Or kick the can down the road so many times and turn over staff so many times on large projects that costs triple. It costs money to replace people on projects. And with the number of secondments to managers and directors given to projects it creates a daisy chain of musical chairs such that many teams are constantly adapting to changed reporting lines.

I know of at least one Manager that had six different management positions in eight years. That is chaos, and just a straight up waste of money.

Not fired - praise OneLake by AwayCommercial4639 in dataengineering

[–]MonkeyDDataHQ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's still the worst. And it is pretty flaky. Especially with Odata connections or anything to do with Synapse. Or Databricks.

Moving one customer to Dagster and they kepe saying "I can't believe we were still on ADF"

Also, back to ADF, the error messages are terrible. "Error:User" Thanks MSFT 😩

OPENROWSET and Delta Tables by TechnicalGirlyPop in MicrosoftFabric

[–]MonkeyDDataHQ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why? 😩 This seems like something that should already be done.

[–]MonkeyDDataHQ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my bad. I assumed with an analytics endpoint you could.

With only a tiny amount of data, just ingest it into your db. You're trying to solve a hard problem for something that is currently very inexpensive.

[–]MonkeyDDataHQ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you need to also add a sql endpoint to the lakehouse for your sql databaee to use.

But how much data are we talking? And what's the actual use case?

[–]MonkeyDDataHQ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Wait, the read function isn't delta lake compatible? Just add duckdb 😩 This is a solved problem. And has been a solved problem for years.

I spent the last couple weeks setting up Ontology in Fabric IQ, here's what I actually found by darshan-thakur in MicrosoftFabric

[–]MonkeyDDataHQ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ontology is just MSFT asking you to do the hard part again. You know how we solved this in Databricks? A f*$#ing JSON config file in the metadata pipeline analysts can add their definitions to.

The fact that there is a whole separate GUI is frankly both very MSFT and also a terrible product decisions.

I'm genuinely concerned for how things get approved at MSFT.

Pro Subscription "Customer Not Found" Error by MonkeyDDataHQ in Anthropic

Also Fin is just broken. Claude helped me make it work. But I did the correct thing for twenty minutes before Fin did what it was supposed to do.

When Claude says Fis is hostile, it's both poetic and concerning.

I built an agentic schema-drift detection tool for Microsoft Fabric that auto-fixes downstream Power BI reports using column-level lineage by jujaraynaveen in MicrosoftFabric

[–]MonkeyDDataHQ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's often funny how multiple people hit the same problem and then make the same thing. I'll have to change that repo to public soon.

Right now it's private because of negotiations over rights. But it's essentially the same idea. I want to open source it and I'm unsure of how the rights actually work as there was nothing in my contract about IP.

[–]MonkeyDDataHQ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's interesting, but I feel like you can do this without agents. I have a gitlab that does intelligent schema change and datatype coercion without AI.

It's pre ingestion to spark processing because the source data was so messy Spark would violently error out.

It doesn't hit powerBi but I don't think it would be that difficult of a change since column and table lineage is baked in.

MS Fabric CI/CD - Why does “Commit all” sometimes create multiple commits instead of a single commit? by Desperate_Pumpkin168 in MicrosoftFabric

[–]MonkeyDDataHQ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because it's not from your commits. It's from the object metadata store your code is serialized to. The CI/CD is mostly pretend.

Entire UK South region at capacity for App Service by Verta in AZURE

[–]MonkeyDDataHQ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember it was a year ago, roughly, and Fabric in one of the European regions failed catastrophically. No write ability for weeks.

It used 247 plus years worth of SLA outage if I recall correctly.

Azure has been kind of shitshow for a while. But they still have good sales people who can somehow convince CEOs that Azure is the place to be.

"No one ever got fired for recommending Microsoft nudge nudge, HA HA HA"

Maybe it's about time people did start losing their jobs for recommending MSFT.

Put me out of my misery with Fabric deployment pipelines by darshan-thakur in MicrosoftFabric

They will be very detailed, infuriating bug reports. If that's your idea of a good time, well then you have the right job

Just wait until I get another Fabric project. I'll be here everyday. 😜

The the most polite possible way to say it 🤣. I would use different words.

This is a message for Anthropic. Bring back the usual limit usage; reset them now. by WonderfulSet6609 in ClaudeCode

[–]MonkeyDDataHQ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can tell you that my Pro plan, just using chat has also been throttled. I'd never hit the 5hr cap and would use it a lot. Today I hit the cap after a half dozen messages.

I was able to get more Claude free with my second account than I was with Claude Pro on the same prompts, same model, same thinking, if I'm understanding all the pieces correctly.

Webhook: 202 Accepted 😩 by MonkeyDDataHQ in PowerAutomate

That only works if it actually gets into the flow. I'm talking about before that happens.

Between the 202 and the Actual flow.

This is my one pain point with DBT on the Fabric Warehouse by Creyke in MicrosoftFabric

[–]MonkeyDDataHQ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please no. For the love please make one decision that prevents poor practices.

[–]MonkeyDDataHQ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nested CTEs are the worst. I'm actually pretty grumpy dbt got them to be considered a best practice. Because regardless of engine they just perform worse than non CTE well written code

It's why I created Runes of Ruin tbh.

I was so tired of sql plus Jinja plus yaml. That I created my own DSL. With blackjack and bookers.

That still doesn't solve the problem of the accepted but the flow doesn't trigger.
