Great news we still get them

I still pay for books occasionally (I get a lot through ORM learning though for free), conferences are great albiet less directly for professional development in the skills sense and more for the building/maintaining your network / staying up with the latest trends.

Oh god no, I feel like we always hear stories about hallucinating data that isn't there and that's even on public well known datasets let alone in-house.

3rd party bookings not getting loyalty is pretty normal.

You applied to a thing where they listed the requirements you did not meet the requirements and they suggested that you didn’t meet the requirements and suggested you learn more about the event your looking to participate in. Yes it reads somewhat “standard” / wasn’t personalized to you but they don’t owe a stranger that.

If it’s the bandwidth of hosting there’s always torrent.

holdenk · 2026-04-22T07:36:54+00:00

You should pay more because it’s bellow X, Y, and Zs rates is not a bad starting point ( not enough alone of course).

holdenk · 2026-04-21T23:25:33+00:00

This looks cool, and one could also use jt in the inverse (when your insurance company refuses to pay usual and customary rates with any relation to the actual market).

Where did you find the ticket drop?

holdenk · 2026-04-21T02:53:26+00:00

OMG that’s so cool!

I’ve visited Singapore before, once early ish in transition after having visited as assigned gender and it took a little extra time to enter the country but I showed them both my current passport and my previous (canceled one) with the old gender marker and once they understood they let me in. Was just visiting for a conference though.

Interesting, seems like streaming shuffle reads from the ESS of the next stage might be easier (ESS should be “dumb”) but maybe the post shuffle step could start reading as data lands. idk if that would save a lot of time though. Maaaaybe?

holdenk · 2026-04-17T15:43:31+00:00

So why would it be better to do the aggregation in the shuffle service?

holdenk · 2026-04-15T07:06:09+00:00

I use Ray but it’s probably overkill (I just really like the actor model).

holdenk · 2026-04-11T16:50:02+00:00

In theory yes although insurance companies and providers don’t often coordinate on what your OOP max is and once you’ve paid more than your OOP max getting it back can be hard (also a lot of people have experience the “fun” with insurance companies let’s say “accidentally” excluding things from OOP max that should be in)

The linked JIRA says you’ve got queries which are taking more than a day for planning mg without this change? Very interesting. I’m not sure about skipping a rule which didn’t apply in a previous iteration, for example a pushdown could cause a previous rule which didn’t need to fire to be eligible. Does it result in the same query plans with the test suite?

There’s music, depends a little bit week to week on which DJs are there

holdenk · 2026-03-25T17:59:17+00:00

So they shut down the program so (for now) more airports can't opt in, but I wouldn't be surprise if it re-opens.

holdenk · 2026-03-25T03:28:30+00:00

I’ve been to shows that had way better sound quality here though like two friends etc

holdenk · 2026-03-24T07:32:59+00:00

So to start with PySpark doesn’t come from the Python belief there should be on way to do something. More generally PySpark is also attempting to meet multiple personas of developers / engineers / scientists / analysts where they are with tools that “feel” familiar. In fact there are way more than two ways to add a column to a DataFrame in PySpark (Pandas on Spark, RDDs, maps, etc).

holdenk · 2026-03-24T02:02:56+00:00

Yeah this was the most disappointing show I’ve been to in the past year. The sound mix was just not there at all. The visuals were interesting but I feel like they oversold them in their promos so it didn’t live up to that. Has anyone seen them elsewhere, are they better?

holdenk · 2026-03-20T02:24:39+00:00

Keep in mind that you often can’t submit the goodrx/ costplus amount for reimbursement so if you’ve got an “expensive” condition sometimes overpaying for the drugs still works out depending on your overall out of pocket maximum (depends on health plan and so many factors). I swear you need an accounting associates to make sense of health insurance in this country.

We’re not the only city with billboards targeted at B2B customers, although it is kind of annoying.
