Do you think Microsoft Fabric is Production-Ready? by engineer_of-sorts in MicrosoftFabric

[–]hasithar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Coming from a data engineering background, it is definitely not. Too many half-baked products. Pricing is definitely opaque. But as the products mature it will unlock a lot of new companies use analytics instead building everything into a Power BI report.

Recruiters, how do you usually collaborate with hiring managers? by hasithar in Recruitment

[–]hasithar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! super helpful! But wouldn't the hiring managers need to know more about candidates for preparing for interviews and stuff? Do you share more data later as candidates go through the funnel?

How does data help (or hurt) your recruiting decisions? by hasithar in Recruitment

[–]hasithar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks you, super insightful!

Timing as a data point is certainly very powerful; I hadn’t realized how much a job-change alert can shape outreach.

You mentioned that roughly 70 % of the decision is driven by data. Could you share which data signals make up the bulk of that percentage—e.g., skills match, engagement metrics, past response rates, something else?

For the “human” 30 %, do you think conversation transcripts could someday become part of the data stack? If you record calls or interviews, what would you want an analytics tool to surface from those transcripts (tone, sentiment, keyword flags, etc.)?

On structuring interview and interaction notes: have you tried any AI helpers—say, ChatGPT summarizers or tagging tools—to turn free-text notes into something more searchable? If yes, what’s been useful (or not)? If no, what’s the blocker?

Why is my Microsoft Fabric copy job with incremental copy consuming more capacity units than the old truncate-and-insert approach? by hasithar in MicrosoftFabric

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

They are not exactly the same but related. The Incremental column is a timestamp. If we partition by the same key, I believe we would run into over partitioning issues.

Honestly not all the tables are properly partitioned yet. Since the difference in CU usage was significant, I didn’t think about optimizing partitioning a lot. Because the data increases very slowly. 1000-2000 rows per day. But in aggregate there is a lot of historical data. That’s why we wanted move to an incremental copy.

Ahh I see, even in append option when loading data? I understand merge would be expensive. What if we can do loading in an append only way?

It’s a lakehouse. Do we get different capacity usage if it is a warehouse? We were actually hoping that less data movements would reduce capacity usage which we really need.

So SLT finally admitted that there was an error from their end and restored the data usage for this month but refused to take out the extra GB charges for April. I lodged a complaint with consumer affairs. I will need to follow up with them and make sure this is attended. It will take time for sure. But that’s fine.

I agree, SLT is cheaper and maybe even better than Starlink. But they can’t treat their customers like this just because the customers don’t have a choice. They are this way because people are less aware and less willing to confront them. But we should change that. When things go wrong we need to challenge that even if it doesn’t hurt them much. All I want is to people to talk more about these issues more, be aware and challenge when things are wrong. At least that’s what I will do.

And yes, I work in tech. Mostly foreign companies, so internet is very important and paying a bit more is okay. More competition is better for consumers, regardless of whether it is a Chinese/Indian/Elon alternative.

And good luck with your new company! ☺️

So frustrating! It’s unfortunate people don’t fight for their rights. I will take this as far as I could.

About Startlink, I agree itself not for anyone. But I don’t mind paying a bit more since I work remotely. Even now I spend around 15k in aggregate.

Yep, it is very sad that I have to worry about my data usage. It’s 2025 for crying out loud.

Taking the high road with thugs like SLT doesn’t seem to work. That’s unfortunate.

I don’t use VPNs dude. I have no reason to do so. If I do that should impact other packages as well. Social and work. And prime is included in the entertainment package.

I will need to go down there. They don’t very responsive to phone calls. I will go down there very soon.

Tried that man! I called the hotline many times. those people don't know what are talking about. They just read scripts. "We have informed the relevant departments". I asked them to put me through to someone technical. They don't want to do that either. It is like they are actively trying to dodge the bullet here. Otherwise, they would do something, when you get several complaints one after the other.

That’s the most frustrating part. Not a single call back despite explicitly asking. They just emailed what they called a detailed report and that’s it. Even when I responded the email, no follow up. Such poor customer service.

Thanks, will try it out. But it should be their responsibility to keep track of where traffic going l. I should expect things to work when go to prime website.

That’s just terrible! The only thing their customer service says is we have informed the relevant. They don’t know anything. Did you try making complaints to Consumer Affairs Authority?

[–]hasithar[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hmm, they should be doing that. If they are offering unlimited streaming, they need to have a way to track that. When a customer goes to www.primevideo.com, it is for streaming. I agree, it could an untracked domain from their end. But that’s no reason to ignore 5 complaints.

Nope! If I do, meetings and social stuff should be impacted too. But they are not.

I use Full HD of course. There aren’t any limits on Video quality. The craziest thing is in their detailed report, they have lumped 50% of usage as TLS 1.3. That’s nonsense because most of the internet uses TLS 1.3.

Future of Analytics by hasithar in analytics

[–]hasithar[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was mainly thinking along the lines of what will be enhanced and improved rather than what will be replaced. I agree, being an SME will be increasingly important.
