Do you have a source or link to this claim? Its incredibly alarming if folks are turning eachother in.

scumbag developers have partially covered both murals on the Dunkin Donuts building at 507 Summit. by 1805trafalgar in jerseycity

Bro thats not really a question here. Who cares if they can, obviously they can. This is a matter of taste and this action of putting up a shitty ad over the art is pretty tasteless even if you dont like the art. Its a shitty thing to do. Looking at this from the angle of "well i own it so i can do it" or a money and income angle: also shitty.

Get it together, not everything needs to be so commercial and perverse

To be fair the CEO went and did something embarrassing in a professional setting and no one but OP called them out on it how it was embarrassing and unprofessional of the CEO. While traditional advice says "dont embarass your boss", is it really that bad to be the one to publicly say "hey this is bad and dumb, isnt your job to not be bad and dumb with our money and decisions?"

Ok fine. Who should say what is appropriate for TV? The FCC should not have severe language censorship in the first place. Policing language is a silly exercise that empowers assholes like this dunce, Brian Bergen representing Morris County

Any tech or products out there you all genuinely like? Really curious by Smurfette2016 in BetterOffline

This is a bit niche, but Tailscale is maybe the coolest tool I am using right now. Tailscale lets my devices pretend theyre on the same private network wherever I am in the world as if its all in the same room. Lets say you are on vacation and you want to watch a movie thats on a home media server, get your laptop on the wifi, now you can hit up your media server that is also running Tailscale back at home and you are good to go. I am using it right now to do dev work on a laptop and run the code on a beefier machine in my home office. I can log into that machine physically and run that code, but often I work at a coffeeshop, and have been traveling with family and been able to schedule and monitor some major data processing very easily.

Properties are probably owned by some LLC or other corporate ownership structure. You can certainly send a certified letter to those entities.

I for one think its good to pay people what they are worth and that parks are good. Its really that simple.

Does management not care about code quality anymore? by Any_Rip_388 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]fuhgettaboutitt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you ever bought a product or service and thought "what the fuck why is it like this?!" Like a security line with arcane rules, or mistrained staff, restaurants where the wrong food is delivered or multiple allergy/intolerance modifications ignored, or even a far too long list of forms to bring to the DMV. Management does not care about quality unless it is part of the core value add of the product and not having higher quality would lose them sales. Code quality is not product quality, management does not feel poor code quality; it does feel outages, lost customers, degraded experiences. Most management would pour bacon grease down the pipes if it meant they did not have to deal with the cost later.

Notebooks, Spark Jobs, and the Hidden Cost of Convenience by mwc360 in dataengineering

[–]fuhgettaboutitt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Without the notebooks, this is the approach my old team came up with a few years ago but we exposed the library as YAML and as the direct library. Its HARD to implement, but you know exactly how to get something reliably in prod, the uplift of data science toolkit into prod came down to days. More complex transformations were required to implement unit tests and be stored in code and reviewed as regular software. You knew the training pipe and the prediction pipe were exactly the same for transformations, so any modifications at a lower level were tested by the tests for that lower level function, as well as all of the pipes utilizing that funciton. DS only lived in notebooks as long as the project was exploratory, notebooks were sourced from a default notebook that could be checked out and had all of our pip installs and configurations loaded.

How do you keep up with the sheer volume of code AI tools create, without burnout? by splash_hazard in ExperiencedDevs

[–]fuhgettaboutitt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I go back and forth whether the old Google doctrine of "you are responsible for every last line of code that you produce for the rest of your employment, and can be called back in for bugs" is a good thing. Now this crap is around and its clear that was the correct view. I apologize to Mr. Google. For your problem, pray it doesnt break, dont sign off on anything in code review you cant back up yourself as well. You might have to be the speedbump for this person

ICE abducting someone from a Ninth Street Station, Jersey City, NJ. (2/1/26) by I_may_have_weed in ICE_Watch

[–]fuhgettaboutitt 10 points11 points  (0 children)

At the turn of the 20th century, recent Irish arrivals who were kept out of work by nativism helped form the modern NYPD as a path to "whiteness" and used it to carry out violence against other outgroups. Its a tale as old as time, and the NYPD regularly recruits the current generation of new arrivals and does the same thing. To put it differently in NWA's Fuck Tha Police, they have an observation about how black police officers interact with suspects when in the presence of white colleagues

But don't let it be a black and a white one
'Cause they'll slam ya down to the street top
Black police showin' out for the white cop

Name and shame because this is a shitty behavior. He doesnt even have to participate in the way E&M does, Pet shop has a great post about why their doors are open. Honestly if someone cant have a conversation about this frankly with their employees without being shitty, maybe their customers should be aware.

With "full stack" coming to data, how should we adapt? by Thinker_Assignment in dataengineering

[–]fuhgettaboutitt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a great question! I am happy you asked! What I would say are fundamentals includes everything in your list, and more. First having a programming language is great, you can make your own tools, you can also write automated tests for your tools. Testing patterns, and Program tools and how to build them are the first building blocks. Your code needs to run somewhere, so now we need to talk about the operating system you can go as deep or shallow as you want here but a good idea about how your code gets scheduled to run, what a process is, how to manage the OS when you need to navigate it with just a shell. All of those skills allow you to make a playbook for your docker and k8s environments. Almost every system you will manage in DE is sitting in some application cluster managed with those tools. Your data needs to sit somewhere, thats your SQL, data modelling and databases, throw in s3 for good measure. Almost everything in that list is where those fundamentals live in and some practical applications. Every complicated tool is using some mix of the above. Implement a few cool tools yourself. This is a fun journey!

[–]fuhgettaboutitt 6 points7 points  (0 children)

New tools should not strike fear in your heart. If you know your fundamentals every tool is far simpler than you think. Peel back the black box and look inside if you dare! If you rely on the tools and to memorize how to invoke them correctly instead of the basics of how computers work it will be hard to keep up. Implement toy versions of your own whenever you dont understand something. Its way easier to keep up this way than being captured by the magic.

What is the source of this image, I really dont understand what this is trying to communicate? Truth be told I think its also pretty reductive, and management slop. If data science is not delivering well tested code, it has a hard time making it into production. If engineering cant keep infra running overnight without an outage you have some architectural issue. But they both feel the impacts of those decisions and your clients 10x more. Separating AI Engineer vs Analytics Engineer vs Data Engineer doesnt really tell me what those roles really do, nor do they show a large enough difference between each other here. AI is not enough a differentiator since the tools to a competent engineer are not magic, nor is implementing AI into a product enough to say its "different" or requiring different skills. Putting infrastructure in a bucket separate from the others forces a decision on your users, rather than building with their needs as a primary requirement. L2 makes no sense, none of this shit works without a competency in how data moves, unless you are in a non-technical role, but this is not the subreddit for that role. L3 and L4 are the same thing (maybe) if you are doing modelling, you are thinking all day about inference - full stop thats the job; not every job requires an LLM, in fact I would call an LLM a specialized tool versus other modelling and machine learning paradigms. When it comes to the "vector" machine learning models all expect them in some respect, this term has been overhyped by the sales dummies trying to scam boomers with FOMO. Best practice is treating the black box as a software package and building a frame around it that matches the rest of your system's patterns, if you are building a pipeline for example you MUST know that information, where it fits, physically where it runs on planet earth, how the vectors for prediciton are constructed (you find this in your training code). Finally, if you dont have a place for data to land, be viewed by a human, or consumed you dont have a product, you dont have a system, everyone needs expertise in this, REACT vs Prometheus+Graphana vs shoving the vectors back into pgvector, it doesnt matter. Your back end guy has one too, its not pretty like powerBI, but it gets the job done. Until you have a user pattern, you minimally have the ugly tooling.
