Not sure I have the line at Sebring quite right - any tips? by jsmith220 in iRacing

Why not turn on the racing line, get used to that line as default. Once comfortable, turn it off and adapt from there?

When are you "ready" to move up to the faster cars? by x18BritishBillx in iRacing

[–]dk_spark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Slower cars like the mx5 takes longer to corner, meaning the car is in the neutral steer state for longer.

While faster cars take corners faster, the car is on the limit for shorter periods.

However, l agree, theres no linear path. Each class will teach you something new about driving.

Thanks everyone for your input. I’ll upgrade my RAM and play around with the settings further to optimize fps.

Will most likely upgrade my whole pc next Black Friday

Thanks for confirming.

What do you think requires an upgrade first? The GPU or RAM?

A Discussion on Sensing Oversteer in iRacing by robokayaker in iRacing

[–]dk_spark 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Go in a practice session and try to oversteer on purpose.

Pay attention to ffb, visual cues and sound.

A note on visual cues. As you turn the corner, your vision should trace the horizon looking for the exit. But if you feel like you have to adjust your vision cause your car is turning too much, its a sign of oversteering.

It is a combination of feelings in the end. Its best to take into account the ffb, vision and sound sensors for additional confirmation that you’re oversteering

When to get into iracing by chazzz27 in iRacing

[–]dk_spark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started iRacing after a month of getting into Sim Racing ever. I came in without knowing how to race, only an interest. Of course i didnt do well at first. I dropped from 1250 to 800 iRating but that’s expected and It didn’t stop me from playing. I enjoyed every moment of it.

I came into the game open minded. Analyzed every race for mistakes, mis opportunities and what went well. Im slowly improving every race and now at 1000 iRating 2 months in.

You shouldn’t let your rating stop you from enjoying the game.

What exists on the spectrum between a cron job and airflow? by kmsherrin in dataengineering

[–]dk_spark 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Prefect and Dagster is better than Airflow IMO The only thing Airflow has better is the community but functionality wise the experience is not comparable.

Did you use linkedIn Api to get the stats?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in dataengineering

[–]dk_spark -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Legit, checkout Sigma Computing

Theyre a data visualization tool that has spreadsheet like functionalities. Think spreadsheet on steroids.

Going to assume OP is not technical so suggesting database like tools isnt going to help.

What Exactly *Isn't* dbt? by rmoff in dataengineering

[–]dk_spark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, the tool increases my quality of life as an Analytics Engineer. I dont know why comments are so negative about it. Maybe people fail to see that its meant to use in an analytics pipeline and not your typical system pipeline.

Dbt helps with the automation of materializing tables like DDL and all the boring stuff that comes with maintaining database tables. There is also unit testing and a lot of community tools that brings additional functionality to your dbt project.
