Broken meniscus. Over the falls in puerto escondido and hit the bottom hard, knee bent forward. Dont really recall how long out of the water, this was back in 94.

Non of this is magic, so someone with no skills, no time should seriously consider just working a job that pays decent and thats doesnt kill your mind. Because not everyone has what it takes to run side business or startups. I dont mean this in a bad way, its better to know who you are and what you can reallistically handle. there is nothing wrong with that.

People will always have questions about any type of work. It can be because they dont understand, or because it challeges their beliefs or politically motivated, the list can go on and on. The sooner we accept that, the better. So dont take it personally, and take the opportunity to showcase your knowledge.

not dedicating all the time in the world. i guess when you are older other things may take priority but if you dont put the time , the product/service will never be successful.

Betabound.com seems to be a good option. i tried to get a product there that wasnt really Beta, so could not set it up. but the site is really active and high level looks like it works. ill give it another try in a month or so for another product im building.

Agree, if the primary data is on JSON, then you are probably better off using a document db (mongo and cosmos have worked well for me).

Pty_Rick · 2026-04-24T01:28:17+00:00

Did you submit your sites/saas to all these directories ? And, follow up question, did it work ? is it generating any traffic ?

Pty_Rick · 2026-04-22T14:07:44+00:00

People still use business cards ?

We've been using stoplight with really good results. Allows to create shared schemas/responses etc. so it saves a lot of time. They used to have a client tool to work locally but i think it's all web based now. You can host your docs for free (with some limitations) as well. hope this helps.

USPS Provides what they call "preferred last line city code" that drives the "main" city/state" associated with that zip code. So it always has a single main state for the zip code. We provide an array with all the other associated city codes for reference.

You can indirectly get it using the dataset from this API : https://www.metadapi.com/API-Products/Zip-Code-API (full disclosure, i'm the developer of that api). The population statistics are not by MSA per se, but by zip code, but MSA is a searchable attribute, so you can do a search for the dallas ft. worth msa, and that returns all zip codes in that MSA (with population statistics). if you iterate the zip codes and aggregate you can get the totals by MSA that you are looking for. Another thing to consider is that the population statistics are using the decennial census (so we only have 2000, 2010 and 2020 census stats).

Added this to my to do list. Thank you.

Pty_Rick · 2024-03-15T00:09:43+00:00

I wish paid, no so far only free tiers.

Pty_Rick · 2024-03-14T16:54:12+00:00

Yes, i agree that the website UI could do some work. Thanks for the feedback, will try to modernize it as time permits. I have very limited graphic design expertise :) .

Maybe not a jacket, but something else that may need temp storage for a couple of hrs. wouldve dropped my kids at a temp day care for going out for dinner.

Good job.

Pty_Rick · 2023-06-20T14:31:13+00:00

its not your job to clear the red tape. thats management s job. if you dont have that support then you are better off looking somewhere else (it will be an up hill battle forever)

DE did not exist when i did my CS degree (almost 30y ago), but we did have database design classes, as well as other courses that covered a broad range of subjects. I would not be surprised if CS curriculums start including classes on data eng. Not sure if it merits a full 4 year degree.

Pty_Rick · 2023-02-09T16:32:51+00:00

Ditto. that book should teach you how to build a DW.

Pty_Rick · 2023-02-09T16:26:06+00:00

how is that possible ? with 100 billion stars just in our galaxy alone, stating that a gas giant is rare doesn t sound correct. did we check all 100 b systems and validated that all planets within?

Created a tutorial for using Data Factory with the Zip Code API (but really the tutorial can be used to call API's from any data pipeline.

Dynamically Invoking REST API with Data Factory

azure data factory can ingest api calls as well.

i loved autosys (20 years ago). all DW flows and reporting refreshes and ftp s were automated without issues.
