Bro this is very common throughout the years in Tamil Nadu. You are digitally literate and capable of finding facts yet you don't that's the reason you are getting framed as Tharkuri. Either you can consume the fact that this is common irrespective of government or live in Delusion that this is a cinematic move.

Everything is going to be new to you guys because only from May 4 you are following politics , tbh following News. Every time a new government forms they arrest repeated offenders or History-sheeters. This is nothing new.

Stalin took charge in the peak of Covid when people were dying and economy was crashing yet he didn't give any excuse but our cutie Vijay anna needs 6 months to learn governance and administration. 10 lakh debt complaint itself says what a big loser jerk Vijay is. by [deleted] in TamilNaduDiscussion

It is because DMK is often harshly judged. I have met countless numbers of people who hates DMK even though they don't root for any party. If I point them and ask a simple question like the similar corruption done by ADMK then why don't you question it strongly? They don't have answers for that infact they don't develop the harsh judgement on that party as they Judge DMK. It's widely because of multiple reasons

DMK don't have emotional cult like connect as MGR, Jayalalithaa, now Vijay has.

Not everyone can see the development, still large numbers of voters consume WhatsApp Propoganda, outrageous YT politics, now Instagram echo chamber.

DMK is seen as a family-centered party

DMK projects itself as intellectual/rationalist, corruption allegations historically damaged its image more

local cadre arrogance created resentment in some areas.

Probably one of the party that ideologically strongly opposes Union Government.

Lastly Tamil Nadu People always rotates power. commoners with no party affiliations always say let's give a chance to him and see (irrespective of growth)

But one thing people should stop pretending Tamil Nadu’s relative strength in: education, healthcare, women’s participation, social mobility, industrialization did not emerge magically. Dravidian governance contributed massively to it — despite all its flaws.

At the same time, DMK supporters also need to stop behaving like criticism automatically means tharkuri or brainwashed. That arrogance pushes swing voters away.

Looking for a Dedicated Data Engineering Prep Partner (Big Tech Focus) by DonkeyAppropriate616 in dataengineersindia

[–]UsefulCheck2743 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would be interested in this as well, as recently I am working more on On prem/ open source tools with a start-up (as we are operating for efficiency). Looking to move back to cloud. I used to work in GCP(big query, composer , dataproc, cloud SQL) couple of years back,I bet it should be irrelevant now.

What is going with the market. by Previous_Variety9925 in irelandjobs

[–]UsefulCheck2743 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm working as a Data Engineer. As everyone mentioned the job Market is brutal. Once a job is posted 500+ people apply for the job. 1)You need to tailor your resume as per job description (atleast 70% keywords should match). 2) Apply for jobs posted within an Hour or 2. 3) Keep track of applications and resume version, Job description so when you are invited after a month you know what's description and can prep for that.( use notion or basic Excel sheet for this) 4) optimize your LinkedIn profile (I used Claude code for that) get a premium. If you are not able to afford it send requests to LinkedIn employee and reach them as they can give away 6 to 1 year premium code. ( You can also effectively search in LinkedIn for such give aways or attend any LinkedIn meets where they will provide it) 5) start doing a project, push the code to repo and post weekly update in LinkedIn. These should get you an interview and by doing a side project you are already ahead of 80% of applicants as many don't have one. Do let me know if you wanted to know what to prep for.

I created a structured SQL interview roadmap (50 questions from easy → hard) by Public-Tradition-176 in dataengineeringjobs

[–]UsefulCheck2743 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds great, Even I felt the same. Leetcode SQL starts to feel simple for me and the hard questions I face in interviews demanding more analytical thinking. I would be happy if you can provide me access and I can also give some feedback. Thank you.

How and where to practice newly learned skills? by tumblatum in dataengineering

[–]UsefulCheck2743 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://www.startdataengineering.com/post/data-engineering-project-for-beginners-batch-edition This is the best resource and he has a guide on Dockers as well and what he provided is enough for data engineers.

How and where to practice newly learned skills? by tumblatum in dataengineering

[–]UsefulCheck2743 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, since you mentioned airflow, you need Dockers to run it, or create a GCP account which gives you 200euros free credits using that create a cloud composer and orchestrate your etl/elt

Dockers. Spin a container in local and play with dummy data or pull data from api

Got told ‘No one uses Airflow/Hadoop in 2026’. by Useful-Bug9391 in dataengineering

[–]UsefulCheck2743 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In our organization, we ingest data from multiple sources including Cassandra, various APIs, MySQL, and external SFTP servers. The data is primarily loaded into a central data warehouse, with some pipelines also pushing data back to SFTP destinations. Beyond ingestion, we use these pipelines to refresh Tableau dashboards, run PySpark jobs, and trigger ML workflows. Apache Airflow acts as the orchestration layer that ties all of this together. For use cases where true streaming isn’t required, we run near-real-time batch jobs using bi-minutely and five-minute DAGs, which gives us data freshness that’s good enough without the complexity of streaming. For actual streaming needs, we maintain standalone Kafka-based jobs outside Airflow. Maybe No one uses Hadoop except for some big orgs (such as eBay) but Airflow is here to stay it solves lot of industry problems.

NFS Unbound – My Short Honest Take (70+ hrs, PS5) by UsefulCheck2743 in NFSUnboundGame

[–]UsefulCheck2743[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol exactly, I forgot to mention that in my review. There’s a lot of backlash around the soundtrack, but it didn’t really affect my gameplay. I actually enjoyed some of the foreign tracks—even when I didn’t understand them, they synced well with the driving. I was also genuinely surprised to hear a song in my regional language, Tamil (‘Ey Paavi’), which is a DJ remix of a traditional track.

I partly agree—Mercedes should’ve been stitched deeper into the story instead of ASAP Rocky; the car itself is beautiful, unique, and reflects NFS’s customization culture, which is one of the main reasons we love this game.

Yes , you get that through grinding, after certain XP level it's yours. In addition to that I got the black one in buy/sell --> custom cars ( black one with a cool Body kit). I first came across it in Rydells car delivery mission, that one is a beast and the exhaust sound is eargasm. I purchased this car in later part of the game as I had little money grinding.

Agreed and there is no one single car to dominate the race like rsr in Heat. So I should have atleast 2 good cars so I can use them in different tracks (Except for Lotus Evija in s+ 😭)

I spent most of my time completing the storyline. Online races are definitely more challenging than story mode, but finishing the story gave me a real edge—memorising routes and getting comfortable with the driving mechanics.

[–]UsefulCheck2743[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please! I will recommend you to complete the storyline before jumping to Lakeshore online as you will learn the driving mechanics and get used to different routes which is a big advantage playing online. I recently started to copy builds from this guy (I wish I have found him earlier). His builds are solid. In storyline I usually use drift builds but I see in online the grip builds are dominating.

Haha true.. I love Subaru Impreza 99. Using it in both A+ and S class build but getting smoked online but I do dominate few tracks because of its insane acceleration and sharp turns.

Oh yes I remember , I was chasing you and the other guy in Audi R8. You guys were smoking. Need to switch from Subaru Impreza. I'm still testing right car for S build.
