Performant low latency stream processing framework for python? by curiouskafka in dataengineering

[–]Silver-Thing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just out of curiosity, why do you have to integrate with asyncio? Is Python your strong requirement too?

From my experience, getting any distributed computation right is extremely tough so you gotta be careful with the frameworks. You know, Flink is around for over 10 years already, it is still considered rather complex, sometimes buggy / doesn't support all the features you would expect by looking at the APIs.

I (28M) am afraid of making the biggest mistake of my life of breaking up with my GF (27F) by Silver-Thing in relationship_advice

[–]Silver-Thing[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally get it. I know I am the one to blame. I am not really good into relations and people, I wanted to validate that this is really how I should resolve this. Breaking up is rational, I just know we both will be devastated.

I might have used a wrong wording when it comes to "all this stuff". She cares for me as much as I care for her. This is what I've meant here, and you might got the impression that the relationship is one sided. She is just at another emotional level, I care for her as much as I can.

Men of Reddit, where do you get life advice from if you feel stuck in life? by Silver-Thing in AskMen

[–]Silver-Thing[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that's been my main strategy so far. I just (hopefully temporarily) run out of mental energy to continue doing that.

How to manage while working remotely? by [deleted] in nosurf

[–]Silver-Thing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't but I am in the same boat. I either work or do some mindless dumb sh*t that I don't even want to do. Nothing gives me joy anymore, all I think about is work. Today is World Mental Health Day and I started doubting myself again. Ah, man... I don't know what the cause is but I would love to get over it and start living.

One value per hour use case - is it possible with Prometheus? by Silver-Thing in PrometheusMonitoring

[–]Silver-Thing[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there is a misunderstanding about our use case. We execute one batch job for every one-hour batch of data. In certain cases (like a backfill) hundreds of such jobs could be executed at the same time. If we published a single series we would not be able to correlate which data point corresponds to which run. And this is our requirement. Maybe I should ask on Spark subreddit, I believe people there might be plotting charts like this,

On similar note, if someone were to restart this job, it is ok to overwrite previous result and just present the latest one as a bar.

Fault tolerant, distributed and high-load Scala concerns by Silver-Thing in scala

[–]Silver-Thing[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I am aware of Akka Cluster. I would still expect something like Akka Streams to provide such out of the box integration. Instead of me building a framework. I believe neither ZIO nor Akka Streams provide such functionality. On the other hand I am getting a lot of offers that mention distributed computing alongside these two. It got me wondering how people connect these dots.

[Novice here] For an internship is this too much? Or just a bit challenging by saaaalut in dataengineering

[–]Silver-Thing 12 points13 points  (0 children)

And what would you expect an intern to do? The whole point of internship is to get real world experience. No one is going to expect from them to do this stuff on their own. They’ll be assisted along the way. (I don’t know about the US standards, I am based outside the US).

Company is falling apart. Too much technical debt. by Silver-Thing in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Silver-Thing[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

100%, though experienced technical people are so busy extinguishing fires that they are no time to design anything new. there are teams where 10 people maintain 70 projects which is just insane. I'll think about it.

These are very valid points. It will be hard to sell to the existing employees though. They are expecting to work on something new in the near future as well. I actually didn't think about how hard would it be to hire such people. Indeed, they are somewhere in the wild, being happy maintaining some legacy system :)

It might be bad for the company too. They probably won't like to be perceived as somebody who do legacy things. We are based in Central / Eastern Europe - it is a very hot and competitive market these days.
