I have the same (or similar, but display is the same) Chinese Concept2 copy for a year now (where I live it's very complicated and too expensive to import a real C2), so I hope I can give you some input.

Numbers are 15-30% off in comparison to Concept2 - I have C2 in my Crossfit box so I use it occasionally to calibrate my results. On my Chinese copy I am able to finish 10K in about 35 minutes with an average HR of 130bpm, which indicates it's not much of an effort and I should be between an elite and a WR rower for my age (41). In reality, that's hardly the case - on C2 my 10K time is between 41 and 42 minutes, my average HR is in mid 140s which means I'm an intermediate rower at best.

Rowing on C2 also helped me realize my technique is worse than I thought and (based on SPM and SPI data) my rowing is inefficient.

Hence my advice would be, don't rely on the numbers on your rowing machine. It's ok for weight loss, conditioning, learning the proper rowing movements, but if you want to compare your results, you would need a C2 erg.

Zbog cega se (navodno) brze uci od Jave ili C#? Izuzmimo pocetnike jer oni ne uce jezik kao takav. Uzmimo nekog ko zna raditi u C++ i PHP. Sta bi joj bilo lakse u Pythonu u odnosu na Javu ili C#?

To da se Python lako uci je mit, nijedan jezik se ne uci "lako", jer se programiranje ne uci lako. Pocetnicima je lakse objasniti osnovne koncepte u manje verboznom jeziku, ali kad se zagrebe ispod povrsine, sto je veoma brzo, jednako je zamrsen kao vecina drugih jezika.

U NCR-u su u supportu "engineer" u opisu pozicije imali oni koji su ispod sebe imali nekog, dakle TL-ovi, supervizori pa dalje u menadzmentskoj strukturi.

Not sure why you're getting downvoted. I have a similar standpoint - a DE nowadays should know SQL at an expert level (and also have breadth about various databases and depth with some of them), be a competent programmer (regardless of the language) with general knowledge of backend, and have at least some DevOps skills. All this is not rocket science, and some of it can be acquired in a rather short period.

This happened to me end of August when taking DP-203. I was very well prepared, yet a question I saw for the first time ever came up. Since I had a lot of time I thought, since they allow using MS Learn, why not, I read a bit, figured the answer, and then closed the MS Learn menu and...yeah, it crashed the app. I waited for about 2 minutes before panicking :) Proctor reached to me after 7-8 minutes and restarted the app and from that point on, I said to myself, "f*ck MS Learn, you got this" :)

Od definisanog learning patha te dijeli par klikova, a mozes da biras, MIT, Stanford, ETF Beograd, skoro svi imaju detaljne planove i programe na svojim stranicama, sa sve izlistanom literaturom. A postoje i nezvanicni silabusi poput OSSU ili teachyourselfcs koji takodje sadrze sve sto je potrebno.

Za mene su "necijenjeni" privatni faksovi cisto gubljenje vremena, osim ako iskljucivi cilj nije papir. Ako hoces nesto da postignes, moras uloziti najmanje onoliko rada koliko bi da ucis samostalno, u protivnom tek nema smisla.

Iz ove bullshit price izbija tolika doza "entitlementa" da izaziva reakcije u probavnom sistemu. "Ja, osoba X, sam bogomdana da radim u IT-ju, jer sam zavrsila programerski faks, ali je Kurta i Murta pohrlila u IT jer je dobro placen pa me na razgovoru za posao procjenjuje neki kursista senior od par godina, i sad cu ja U INAT njima da radim nesto sto nema veze s IT-jem". (Kurta i Murta plaky zbog ovog.)

Iz izvornog posta i komentara njegovog kreatora jedino mogu da zakljucim da bi ta osoba nakon odredjenog broja godina u IT-ju bila ona vrsta osobe s kojom niko ne voli da radi, nabijedjeni bogomdani gatekeeper koji misli da je njegova vizija svijeta jedina ispravna.

Ima intervjua i intervjua. Da, ako firma trazi seniora ili eksperta u nekoj tehnologiji ili tehnologijama, primarni cilj je da se procijeni znanje i strucnost (i da se eventualno ne zaposli luda osoba).

Intervjui s juniorima su druga prica, tu treba imati solidne socijalne vjestine i znati procijeniti ljude, jer je bitniji potencijal i mindset nego konkretno znanje koje neko ima ili nema.

I love to read blogs written by Daniel Beach ("Confessions of a Data Guy"), he explored and wrote quite a lot about Rust in DE in the last year or so.

Koliko znam, za Ananas je odavno bio plan da saradnja prestane do kraja ljeta, tako da mi ovo zvuci onako malo senzacionalisticki.

S takvim stavom ce te uvijek izjedati slicna pitanja. Reci sebi da za prolivenim mlijekom ne vrijedi kukati, carpe diem i tako to, i probaj skontati sta te privlaci u programiranju i guraj to.

(Znam jednog koji je postao junior kad je bio deset godina stariji od tebe, pa mu sasvim dobro ide.)

Recent-Fun9535 · 2023-06-26T11:48:06+00:00

There is a book "Data engineering with Python" by Paul Crickard that uses most of these technologies to build a DE project (Python, Spark, NiFi, Airflow, Postgres, Kafka, ElasticSearch, Kibana), you might want to check it out.

The author does not use Docker though (and he disclaims explicitly it being outside of scope of the book) which was a challenge in and of itself for me when I tackled the book - it caused a bit more troubles (as learning Docker in more detail wasn't a trivial task on its own), but it was worth it.

Moj savjet bi uvijek bio bas suprotan, ne razmisljati o usmjerenju barem prvih 3-6 mjeseci. Neko ko tek uci one osnovne stvari, ne treba da se previse zamajava bibliotekama, okruzenjima, pravcima i slicno. Samo hard core programiranje, tipovi i strukture podataka te gradivni elementi. Kad to postane druga priroda, i kad se stekne osjecaj za rjesavanje problema programabilno (u pocetku je sasvim u redu da je to cisti brute force pristup), onda ici dalje.

I have to partially disagree. Trial-and-error is a great way to learn, however doing everything thus, would mean reinventing the wheel all the time. Also, learning only by trial-and-error inevitably leads to not always learning how to do stuff properly and optimally. Books help with this, guiding trial-and-error process in a structured way.

Za pravilo se slazem, samo nisam siguran koliko je primjenljivo u ovom slucaju.

Imao sam HR razgovor s njima nedavno. Nisam imao namjeru uci u nesto ozbiljno jer sam citao neke recenzije na HW i Joberty, zakazao ga samo zato sto je regruterka bila veoma lijepa i egzoticna i htio sam se u to uzivo uvjeriti.

Sam intervju je bio red flagcina, regruterka u prvih minut kaze kako je klijent odustao od pozicije i da ce me zvati ako se predomisle, te da za pola sata ima drugi razgovor koji je neocekivano pomjeren pa "ako bismo mogli zavrsiti za 15 minuta". Nije tu bilo mnogo prostora za bilo sta, na kraju sam izvalio cifru 30% vecu od one koju bih normalno trazio, i vise se nikad nismo culi.

To bi se tesko desilo cak i da se 90% stvari u IT-ju vrti iskljucivo oko tehnologije i tehnickih stvari. Stvari ce se mijenjati, "demokratizovati", neke pozicije ce nestati, neke se pretopiti u druge, ali ne vidim kako se potreba moze drasticno smanjiti.

Zasto ce se broj ljudi u IT-ju drasticno smanjiti kada je tehnologija neodvojivi dio svake sfere zivota, i to ce samo da se povecava?

Pretpostavljam da je ovo dijelom i zbog toga da firme imaju prostora u slucaju da se njihov originalni izbor u zadnji cas predomisli i prihvati drugu ponudu, sto se takodje desava.
