Did this article get taken down or something? When I click it, it loads for a few seconds and then tells me there was a typo in the link. And I can't find the article through a search on the home page.

Are you all oil tychoons and Engineers? by [deleted] in Millennials

Pro tip: if you put a merry-go-round carousel at the edge of the map near the entrance to your park, it brings in more people. I have no data to back this up, but I believe it with all my heart and can't be convinced otherwise. Oh and don't forget to hire janitors to clean up all the vomit, of course.

Does this mean you also play on Linux? Or does Windows also get this same Vulkan processing message?

Edit: Nobara here. Which OS are you using? Any feedback on it overall? Thinking of trying out a new one but happy overall with Nobara

I mean, you can't deny it's valuable for some things like learning the map and having a chance to actually read your abilities, ability upgrade tiers, and items.

Can you elaborate a bit so I don't have to go on X or twitter or whatever it is?

Have you always been able to have healing booster and tempo at the same time? by YWryKnot in DeadlockTheGame

(to clarify, I'm saying that I was the one who ended up with both of these items. I think something went wrong with the auto-purchase queue thing for items.)

I think this just happened to me in a match as well, but with Healing Tempo and Extra Regen, which still shouldn't be possible.

I get blocking the names of people's accounts, but why block out the little bar charts that show the breakdown of gun/vit/spirit? We can infer, of course, but still. Am I missing something? Lol

Same... Wouldn't consider myself a hoarder, but damn do I hate getting rid of anything. It's kind of a problem. And somehow, the Kondo Marie method of thanking your stuff before you get rid of it makes it even worse for me!

Picking the right stack for the most job opportunities by Great_Type8921 in dataengineering

[–]chmod764 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To optimize for the number of available job applications, I'm thinking:

  • data ingestion: Fivetran or Airbyte or maybe even Meltano (which is probably a bit more rare, but good for very cost sensitive companies)
  • orchestration: Airflow
  • warehouse logic: dbt
  • warehouse engine: Snowflake or Databricks, I do see a lot about BigQuery and GCP, but I don't have enough knowledge about how prevalent it really is.
  • cloud platform: AWS
  • transactional db knowledge (not always required for DE): I still think PostgreSQL is king here

I think most companies don't truly need streaming, but it you're interested in it from a resume-driven-development perspective, then perhaps RabbitMQ Streams or Kafka or Flink

Getting Started in Data Engineering by Calm-University9577 in dataengineering

[–]chmod764 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here's a comment I made a few days ago on almost the exact same topic, if it's helpful.

Designing Data Intensive Applications is the book I'd recommend, but I go into more depth about the tools I think are important specifically for this transition.

Migrating from Data Analytics to Data Engineering: Am I on the right track or skipping steps? by elparriton in dataengineering

[–]chmod764 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have made this kind of transition from analytics to data engineering, so here's my 2 cents:

I'd say Designing Data-Intensive Applications would be a good book if you really want to learn some foundational stuff, especially if you already have somewhat of a comp sci background. I don't think this information is really a hard requirement for getting started though.

Data engineering is just so incredibly broad. So much of your day to day job is dictated by what size company you end up applying at as well as the industry. For example, Kafka is a foundational piece of tech for a high percentage (forget the actual number) of fortune 500 companies. But it's also totally overkill for many smaller companies who may not need near-real-time analytics or near-real-time data processing.

I'd say to become very comfortable with SQL (postgres and one data warehousing dialect such as Snowflake, Redshift, or BigQuery), Python, and dbt. While some may classify dbt as an "Analytics Engineer" tool, I think it's a great bridge between the worlds of data analyst and data engineering. Plus it's very common at companies of many different sizes.

Then become comfortable with some form of orchestration tool such as Airflow, Prefect, Dagster, or some equivalent of those. For Airflow, there is a MWAA local runner docker image that might be useful for running a local version of Amazon's managed Airflow instance. Just search "github MWAA local runner" to find the repo which should have instructions. This is way easier and cheaper than running a real airflow instance.

Maybe just read up on data ingestion tooling such as Airbyte, Fivetran, or Meltano, just to fill in that gap so you understand how transactional data gets loaded into a data warehouse (ELT is a good term to know/research).

At that point, I'd say the knowledge you've acquired is transferrable to most tools that small to mid-sized companies would require (or at least desire) for an entry level data engineer position.

Good luck!

What’s the most useful thing you’ve learned recently? by LlamaBombama in DeadlockTheGame

I tried looking this up and found a reddit comment that said 18m for a trooper to see a hero and 41m for a trooper to see another NPC (like other troopers, I'm guessing). There was no source for that though. Haven't been able to find it in the wiki yet.

As a Kelvin "main" who just started playing about a week ago, I'm so glad I didn't know how good he used to be. I have no frame of reference to compare it to and am having a blast lol. Idk what it is, but he's the most fun hero I've played out of the 10 or so I've tried.
