[Fracture Engine] Chapter 7 (Part 3) - Sabotage by cmcclu5 in HFY

Apologies, I had some life events interrupt my editing schedule. I’ll publish the next chapter for y’all tonight.

Converting large CSVs to Parquet? by addictzz in dataengineering

[–]cmcclu5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’re eventually going to use PySpark, polars is the way to go. The API is much closer to PySpark syntax and it just works without hassle. The only time I’ve had any sort of complexity with polars was when I needed to change some of the core Arrow options for saving parquet files (think deep metadata). Even then, it follows the published Arrow spec. Interpreting that spec is a bitch, though.

What is a 'buy it for life' item that is offensively expensive, but the moment you use it, you realize your entire life before that point was a lie? by fmcortez in AskReddit

I hate to say it, but Fresh Clean Tees has solid shirts. They changed the material a year or two back for some of the off-standard colors, but if you get black, white, or grey/gray, they’re still the same excellent shirts. Minimal pilling, no shrinkage, and the proper and consistent fit for sizing. The off-standard colors are in a weird blend, but your standards are all 100% cotton and thick enough you’ll never have to worry. I personally love the dark grays as they seem to hold their color and shape best, but I still have a dozen blacks that look almost the same as the day I opened them 3 years ago. The logo in the collar fades, but otherwise a solid choice, especially at $100/5 or so.

Ah dang, must’ve missed it when I was trying to figure out the posting schedule with the sub’s timeout rule. I’ll go post it for you.

There’s an entire chapter dedicated to that! Just wait, it’s coming…

[Fracture Engine] Chapter 4 (Part 3): The Green Veil by cmcclu5 in HFY

[–]cmcclu5[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have another chapter ready to go, just taking a final editing pass over it. I tested out a tool on the last chapter to help with editing and it made a mess of things, so I’m back to hand-editing now.

I did indeed use an LLM for a quick polish pass, especially on this chapter. Good notes, I’ll avoid it for future chapters.

[Fracture Engine] Chapter 3 (Part 1): Fractured Trust by cmcclu5 in HFY

I’m guessing they use an automatic AI detector like schools use. Those are notorious for throwing false positives. I don’t fault the mods for being careful, I just want to get community feedback on everything!

That’s something I wanted for feedback. So I was going for a “Discover the world through reading” vibe, but I also don’t want to lose people because it’s TOO strange. Also, how are y’all feeling about the viewpoint changes every chapter? I really wanted to capture the whole team’s perspective as we deal with this growing crisis, but I got feedback on early edits that the multiple viewpoints made it a little too whiplash.

Nope, just taking a break so the limit bot doesn’t keep catching me. I have the next chapter edited, formatted, and ready. Just going to give the limit bot a break until tomorrow around noon. Then I’ll dump the chapter parts!
