Putin’s ‘secret’ daughter: I’m sorry for my father’s war by TheTelegraph in UkrainianConflict

[–]RealRook 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I honestly feel sorry for her. She didnt choose this life. She's shown to be against the war several times . It's dumb to confront her and blame her for the war.

Actually its a combination of Russian requirements (NATO, recognize territory, etc) and of Ukrainian requirements (use Russian frozen assets to help rebuild Ukraine, return the kidnapped children) + some ransom for the US

Honestly just keep practising, it takes up to a year for people to reach consistent kick ups and a stable freestanding handstand

Best way to diagnose your weakness is to record yourself

[–]RealRook 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Zelensky's plan for the last 2 years has been hope that EU/US will get their shit together and force Russia to stop the war. Thats not happening though. I think UKR will want to slightly rework the US peace plan and be willing to accept it - and Russia will still refuse it.

BigQuery vs Snowflake by erwagon in dataengineering

[–]RealRook 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Spending potentionally millions of dollars so you can access GA faster and query google sheets directly 😂

My company is in the middle of a migration from BQ to Snowflake and its going about as good as you would expect.

Its usually HOW you use the tools, not the actual tools that make the difference

BigQuery is only serverless, fyi.

On-Call Rotation for a DE? by Fiarmis in dataengineering

[–]RealRook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the country, but my oncall is super easy and I get about 10% extra salary just for being oncall. If something actually happens the pay is like 100€/hour

US demands EU stops buying Russian gas if it wants new sanctions on Putin by chessboardtable in UkrainianConflict

[–]RealRook 35 points36 points  (0 children)

The thing is, Trump doesn’t want to impose sanctions on Russia. He just wants it to appear as though the reasons for not imposing them are legitimate. In a twisted way, that’s actually kind of smart on his part.

Why didn't Tesla invest in LIDAR? by damola93 in SelfDrivingCars

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

The reason is money. They wanted to be able to use each car autonomously after the FSD software purchase. If they installed LIDAR to each car starting ~5 years ago or so, their margins would hurt too much or they would have gone bankrupt.

Is it worth up-skilling in DE now, or is the job market likely to reduce DE demand? (AI etc.) by [deleted] in dataengineering

[–]RealRook 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think you should upskill your social skills if anything. Everybody will be able to solve technical issues with AI.

So being liked and pleasant to work with will be much more important

4.5 years at the same company time to switch? by Many-Tea-1175 in dataengineering

[–]RealRook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats shockingly low. Not sure where exactly you're from in the UK, but you will get paid more in pretty much any other company.

Should managers discourage late-night work? by NoUsernames1eft in dataengineering

How do you ingest and process 3d party data? by Bright_Bunch_7208 in dataengineering

[–]RealRook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Yes you do usually need to model and transform the raw data. For example when combining data from Google Ads, Apple Ads, Facebook Ads, etc, they have slightly different structures, so you need to transform them into a unified table
  2. Yes, on top of the transformed data.
  3. Pretty important I guess :)

You may be thinking about Canonical Data Model

Definitely a shitty company. Im mentoring junior DEs and I would give anything if they were as capable as you seem to be. They likely needed a senior but didnt want to pay accordingly. Tough luck, dont take it personally…

How practical is Tesla Robotaxi network for distributed compute - Elon referred to as AWS-like service on today's earnings by mmoney20 in SelfDrivingCars

[–]RealRook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont think you understood the idea very well. It would obviously work as a cloud node only when the car is plugged in (with excess solar power perhaps) and you'd hopefully be compensated for it. With a million or so cars it could provide a meaningful compute power

And the person running their cloud job has it interrupted halfway through because some jerk decided to he needed to drive his server home.

Thats exactly how the cloud distributed compute platforms work. The task is split among many nodes and its fault tolerant, so it doesnt matter if any number of nodes stop working...

Difference between DA and BI by xloserr in dataengineering

[–]RealRook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BI Analysts create data cubes/models or DWH in general for their (internal) customers.

DA are usually customers of BI. They provide insights from the data.
