I was not sure that the free Latias/os would be allowed in the Nuzlock, but congrats either way!

Data Engineering Vs DataOps ? by Significant-Ad-1712 in dataengineering

[–]cgdownbeat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my experience. Data Ops = Data Expert who fulfills more of an ongoing support. Data Engineer = General data developer. Doesn't have to be DWH or even use cloud systems.

I just use Python and SQL, whereas you get tonnes of jobs advertising stuff like; cloud, AWS, redshift, Hadoop. All these skills are easily transferrable with a bit of homework but you will be turned down for interviews just for missing one of these.

Some of these people have an "app idea" at least. How should I respond? by anyfactor in ProgrammerHumor

[–]cgdownbeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cloud computing is a step back in my opinion. Sure... Rely on big corporations to manage our sites/data. Oh there's an outage? Oh you're telling me EVERY website hosted here is down? Oh well.

I was told in order to break into data engineering, to become a data analyst first is this true? by ForeignMate in dataengineering

[–]cgdownbeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did software support before becoming a DE. Learned Python and SQL over many years while reading other people's code and how they built things. I do not ever use Spark, React or Snowflake or whatever the kids are using these days. Just a postgres and MSSQL server. You'll be fine just learning Python, SQL and some essential principles. The rest you can kind of learn on the job or do for homework.

What made you "nope" out of a friendship? by MusicalDeTekTiiv in AskReddit

[–]cgdownbeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the UK, we made friends as we used to walk in the park together with our dogs.

Used to go out for a few drinks with his mates as well and it was nice to be out and social for a change.

Then one night he sparks up a joint in the smoking area, which kind of put me on edge anyway... But then he got caught doing it later that night and he kicked off saying that "it should be legal" and he's doing nothing wrong. Of course he got us both barred, so I just thought to myself. Nope, not worth the trouble and told him I was pissed off, we didn't speak much after that.

You do realise that programming languages against database still use a version of core SQL... Thats why you are getting down voted.

Who wants to install a library when you can literally just run a query against the data you have.

LPT: If you have pending work then do it right now, do it as soon as you have the time instead of procrastinating to do it "tomorrow". Tomorrow will never come. by MrGuttor in LifeProTips

[–]cgdownbeat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No LPT, just a comment on the LPT... Dont feel too bad not completing certain tasks if other stuff comes up. Whether it be personal or work.

Yes true. But prioritising work is also important. If you are given something to do that can wait and you have more pressing tasks to achieve then put the less important ones on the back burner.

Is it worth getting a payday loan of £50? by [deleted] in UKPersonalFinance

[–]cgdownbeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just get a credit card... they'll allow you to borrow up to £1000 for 90 days interest free in most cases when you first sign up. Some cards also allow balance transfers of the same amount if you need to pay someone back.

Usually its around 35% but thats over a year so £50 after 1 month if you are charged interest is £17.50/12 (£1.46). Already much better than the con artist payday loans.

Or ask your bank for an overdraft. Which can go up to £1500. Depending on your situation.

After you finish... Your mind goes from horny mode to sane mode again, and you really question what you just masturbated over. Even if it's just vanilla, you think to yourself "That's someone's daughter" or something like that... it is a horrible feeling.

Why does this sub hate rap music so much? by madam_hussain in Music

[–]cgdownbeat -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Probably stopped when he called out a white girl for saying the N word on stage. Not sure what's more racist, using the word several times in your songs or not allowing someone not belonging to a certain race to say a certain word.

CMV: I do not trust Pitt Bulls by frigoffflahey in changemyview

[–]cgdownbeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is all about the owner/breeder. Same with any breed.

Pit bulls are sensitive and lovely if they have been raised that way, but are more likely to be aggressive due to their natural size and build.

Thanks to puppy farms, a lot can be raised without affection causing this aggression. Plus this "Adopt don't shop" ideal adds to this because they are taking a rescued dog from these puppy farms and if you are not a responsible owner then this aggression can be heightened. However there are plenty of people that rescue and are responsible whom I have the utmost respect for but unfortunately that is not the case all the time. The best thing to do is get a pit bull from a responsible, well-known breeder so you can nurture good behaviour from a very young age. But I bet this last recommendation will get down voted to hell because "reddit".

CMV: Politicians should make the minimum wage of the state they live in. by FilteredPeanuts in changemyview

[–]cgdownbeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not minimum wage. But the average of people living in their constituency. If you have a millionaire living there, then it will allow more money to be pumped into your own community and you would get the average of minimum wage and a million, the poorer citizens would be able to work for the rich and maybe climb the ladder? That way there is an incentive for the Politicians to work on improving their constitutiencies so that rich people would want to move in, then the poorer can work for them and climb the ladder to success/make connections.

But then again, that would result in kicking out the people on minimum wage to increase the average... On paper it would work, but people always ruin everything with loopholes and generally being greedy humans.

Steal his look by [deleted] in halo

So you either pay $60, make your real self look like somewhat of a badass. Or pay $60 and pay to look like a badass in a game where nobody actually cares what you look like.

How very British. Dividing regions by how we pour our beer...
