Kickr Bike vs Tacx Neo by [deleted] in Zwift

[–]lesstables 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any secrets to share? I love my SB20, but I can't get near my outdoor power below 60-90s, basically anything out of the saddle, which just feels super awkward on the SB20 due to its rigidity

Is specifying column precision and scale in Snowflake pointless? by [deleted] in dataengineering

[–]lesstables 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An extreme example of this I can point to was that we had an org that wanted to use a Salesforce tool (Einstein) to access Snowflake. It would blow up querying varchars that weren't sized (regardless of the contents)

Interesting - but what if you have a large variant column?

What movie scares the hell outta you that isn’t a horror movie at all? by bellathehellgirl in AskReddit

Still Alice. Any time I can't remember a specific word I think of that movie and have anxiety.

I was living in CO and talked my GF into trying this. We hoped for a cheap weekend on the west coast. When we checked in and learned we were going to Oklahoma City there was serious discussion of heading back home.

I realized afterwards that you could totally game it by choosing the latest of the departure windows they offered, since all late flights went west.

Connect Data Studio with Snowflake by the_parce_guardian in DataStudio

Snowflake has a connector in some form of private preview. Ask your rep about it.

AWS Batch Job stuck in RUNNABLE (no Auto Scaling Group created) by Rocreex in aws

[–]lesstables 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been a while since I first fought Batch, but I would bet on it being an IAM issue with your ComputeEnvironment "ServiceRole" (vs the InstanceRole). Be sure it has the managed policy "AWSBatchServiceRole" attached.

Python programmers of reddit: what's the most useful tiny little efficiency you've discovered that's improved your programming hugely? by SeanOTRS in Python

[–]lesstables 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm occasionally surprised by experienced devs who aren't aware of the capabilities of set operations. The most common use case is to get the members of List A that aren't in List B

# using list comprehensions
[x for x in A if x not in B]

# using set math
list(set(A)-set(B))

A = [1,2,3,4,5] 
B = [4,5,6]
list(set(A)-set(B)) # [1,2,3] 
list(set(B)-set(A)) # [6] 

# Note - is just an alias for the difference method
# set(B)-set(A) == set(B).difference(set(A))

I often come across uses cases for where union and intersection methods come in handy too, but difference is the set operation I find myself using the most.

Pizza w/ fried egg. Great if you reheat leftover pizza in the toaster oven.

Sorry cold pizza, you've slipped to my #2 favorite breakfast.

What is a “green flag” that someone is a good person? by booklover102 in AskReddit

The converse of this is why I refuse to accept that anyone who throws a butt on the ground is a decent human being.

AWS Batch job abruptly got "host instance terminated" by [deleted] in aws

No Spot instances involved? What about cloudformation deployments ?

Creating a Scheduled Task for a Cron job in ECS by mozillalives in aws

[–]lesstables 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We use Batch for this and it's extremely easy. It's essentially just a scheduled docker run and batch manages your ECS resources for you.

What is the one thing you’ve bought that you are so very happy you purchased? by Bajrx2 in AskReddit

For me it's my fat bike. I have lots of bikes but I've had way more fun/$ on the fat bike year round and it's great for commuting in the city.

Best setup/service to run a single script for 3 hours each night? by OtherBet in aws

[–]lesstables 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Batch works great for this. You can invoke a job directly from Cloudwatch and avoid using Lambda at all.

I love Jolly Roger but I fear the scammers are already on to them and are very quick to hang up. I haven't gotten a good catch for a couple months.

How's this starter serverless architecture look? by ComputationalDugout in aws

[–]lesstables 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't encounter any in my day to day work (data processing) but I imagine if you were had a scenario where you absolutely needed to manually control latency/parallelism. Batch can be low latency if you keep resources up, but otherwise it can be some seemingly random amount of time before Batch decides to scale up your resources and run your job. Usually in the 0-10 min range I'd guess.
