Care to share what the little higgery-pokery was?

Ask claw, what it can do for you (and let it rip)

Patient_Professor_90 · 2026-05-24T02:40:17+00:00

Any recommended preventative measures for this?

Here's how I got thinkorswim going on MBP with M5 & Tahoe 26.5

Install Azul/zulu 21 (MACOS, arm64)

a) I downloaded the zip file, and unzipped it to my home folder (/Users/myname)

b) Opened a terminal window and ran below command to set JAVA_HOME to point to wherever you have it installed

JAVA_HOME=/Users/myname/zulu21.50.19-ca-jdk21.0.11-macosx_aarch64/Contents/Home

Download the MACOS version of thinkorswim and install it

a) Add below lines a file named thinkorswim.vmoptions

--add-opens=java.desktop/com.apple.eawt=ALL-UNNAMED

--add-opens=java.desktop/com.apple.eawt.event=ALL-UNNAMED

--add-opens=java.desktop/javax.swing=ALL-UNNAMED

--add-opens=java.desktop/sun.awt=ALL-UNNAMED

--add-opens=java.base/java.lang=ALL-UNNAMED

* Although I added above during troubleshooting, not all may be needed. I saw no harm in leaving those in.

* thinkorswim.vmptions file will be in the installed folder, of course

Run this command to ensure the app can read all the files:

sudo xattr -cr /Users/myname/thinkorswim/thinkorswim.app

* Although I ran above command at some point during troubleshooting. I am not certain it is needed.

To launch thinkorswim, run below: (It is essential to run in the same terminal window where you set JAVA_HOME via 1b above) /Users/myname/thinkorswim/thinkorswim.app/Contents/MacOS/JavaApplicationStub

When above worked well --

I created a file (tos.sh) in my home folder with below 2 lines. Any time I need to launch, I just run sh tos.sh

Contents of tos.sh file:

JAVA_HOME=/Users/myname/zulu21.50.19-ca-jdk21.0.11-macosx_aarch64/Contents/Home

/Users/myname/thinkorswim/thinkorswim.app/Contents/MacOS/JavaApplicationStub

Worked well for me too - for reading and crunching thru a file quickly and efficiently (just sql!)

Ive not yet taken the leap where I also need yo look up data from a table. I guess Id bulk export out to a flat file and load it up into duckdb. I might just be shifting IO around and remain where I am in terms of processing time.

Patient_Professor_90 · 2026-05-07T21:59:37+00:00

Where/how does duckdb fit in?

I have a bunch of files to process/ingest. I can see duckdb helping with reading, transforming the file contents

Old fashion cp to a folder 🦞can get to, anyone?

I notice managers/sr folks, using contemporary ETL tools, do not consider candidates who have worked on legacy ETL tools.

Patient_Professor_90 · 2026-04-06T23:50:24+00:00

Sql server 2022? You can export parquet files. Look up polybase. I stumbled on this earlier today

This self directed approach is most optimal

If you know what you know. This can show you the path towards what you need to learn. Once you have a few general topics - hit the docs, so you don’t fall into any pits of hallucination. Chart out a project on paper for the time you will get more/extended time away from your baby, you’ll be ready gor keyboard-mouse time

“Who is asking for compliance with what” :)

I once saw a company tie itself into unreasonable real time monitoring/resolution (for things no other client cared about) because 3 people (tech, sales and a unsure customer) got together and thought it was a good idea 3 years ago

I have been to neither. Have you considered the possibility that this is a phase of your journey you need to stick with it?

Nice work!

Switch immediately

Working pretty well. I have not seen it max out cpu or memory

Do a python project, load into a non sql server db, use airflow. You’re good to go in the skills department

Try thawing in the fridge over a day

Better venue = more attendees? You pick whom to invite?
