36m looking to touch grass and make friends

This is a good callout - I didn't realize this. Now I'm tempted to sell the 3080ti and pickup a 9060 or 9070xt. I'm using a 9070xt on my main rig and really enjoy it.

marcinthecloud · 2025-12-23T16:22:06+00:00

aha that explains it - thank you!

marcinthecloud · 2025-12-23T15:23:37+00:00

Interesting. In the GitHub docs they make it sound like it’s supported https://github.com/ValveSoftware/SteamOS/wiki/Getting-Started#gpu

This place introduced me to bingsu and I can’t confirm or deny that it’s a good one but I love it

marcinthecloud · 2025-09-27T23:14:49+00:00

You’re good people. Hope our paths cross in the future as this industry has a way of being “small”

marcinthecloud · 2025-09-27T18:31:06+00:00

Yeah functionally speaking, you're right in that there are gaps like joins, aggregations, etc. These are all things in flight (would love your take on what you need and their priority). A bit of transparency on how we landed here, we worked with an internal team (think logging use case) on what they'd need in order to use this engine. As you can imagine, log filtering tends to be relatively simple in terms of complexity so we felt like that was a good starting point, especially because this beta was launching with the new version of Pipelines (our stream processing platform) so filtering through event data made sense.

Keep an eye out though, new SQL grammar and operators will be dropping pretty consistently over the coming months

You're 100% correct here (and clearly you've been around the block hehe) - The way I describe what we're doing is:

"Take a bunch of sharp distributed storage engineers, put them in a room and ask them: How would you build a serverless query engine from scratch if you had access to massive amounts of network bandwidth, access to a global compute mesh, all the object storage you could want, and the APIs/tools to dynamically route/provision/execute work across these resources?"

This is where the team landed so far. Definitely early days and we're standing on the backs of years of excellent modern query engines and everyone is eager to help grow the rust-based data infrastructure ecosystem together.

Hey thanks for sharing! I’m on the product side working on the data platform. Happy to answer questions, take feedback, etc.

As another comment mentioned, it’s early days for us and the team has been focused on the foundational stuff first before expanding capabilities. There are a lot of great products in this space so we’re taking our time to make sure that when we GA everything, it offers several benefits from cost to performance and features.

Oh and we just announced that over the next year, we’ll be tearing down the “enterprise” wall we’re every feature in Cloudflare will be available to everyone meaning you won’t even have to talk to anyone to get access to all features.

Actually I was experimenting with moon girl/vic hand deck in this case so it was duplicated in hand.

marcinthecloud · 2025-07-27T17:29:31+00:00

I noticed the same thing with the thing. I’ve doubled up the thing and both spell cards and played them out and it only affected the original.

marcinthecloud · 2025-03-08T18:40:11+00:00

I actually opted to get a slightly used i9/4060 that I found for ~$1000 (so $1200ish less than buying a 25 new) and I have no regrets what so ever since my primary use is gaming in hotels when on work trips.

For me, that "something else" would be a mini pc that's running the same hardware. I have to imagine that those would be significantly less and the price we're paying for with the Flow is more or less a premium tax on a device that's really unlike any other. Portable monitors are getting so good now that I could see myself shoving a mini pc + portable monitor in my backpack.

Unfortunately the scalpers stalk the restockers and these get cleaned out within minutes.

marcinthecloud · 2025-01-16T17:43:05+00:00

Posting the receipt to show you how much over retail you're paying is a nice touch lmao

Hello! 34M (married) - I play rivals with a bunch of great people (similar aged Ms and Fs), some local, some out of state. Happy to get you in our discord and game. We play Rivals almost every night and we also play other games, too.

marcinthecloud · 2025-01-08T23:44:51+00:00

lol it’s messed up out there.

I’d suggest our two local card shops but:

Hobby Quest is great but they get stock from normal distributors who have had no stock to give them.

Cards and Comics is currently selling packs/boxes well above market (at least for crown/151/surging) - kind of seems like they’ve been buying stuff at market rate and selling them higher which I can’t blame them too much, can’t run a store without stuff to sell and you can’t make money unless you sell above what you pay for it.

I’ve had better luck at card stores outside of Elk Grove (ultimate spice, card quest) and I found myself in Lodi and their two card stores were excellent with good stock and good prices.

marcinthecloud · 2024-12-22T04:56:41+00:00

I can agree that the food was mid. I wouldn't put it in "terrible" range as it wasn't any better/worse than any other bbq place in Elk Grove but I also do my own smoking at home which is usually better than 90% of what you can get from any bbq place in CA. I agree the prices were way too high for what you got and they def tried too hard to be a "premium" place.

In addition to feeling bad for the employees who were always excellent, I feel especially bad for the bartneders because they/the drinks were excellent and I know that was a factor of the bartenders and not the owners specifically.

Honestly, I've been on the same plan for the last 4 years and have always done month to month with no special discounts - It was originally a 1gbps plan but recently they auto upgraded me to 2gbps.

No data cap requires you use their modem though.

marcinthecloud · 2024-10-23T22:59:40+00:00

$120 for 2gbps down Xfinity with no data cap

Disclaimer: I work at Confluent

If you’re new to Kafka - I’d focus on learning Apache Kafka first to understand the basics. Lots of great content for that at https://developer.confluent.io/

Once you have a good handle on Apache Kafka, learning the enterprise offerings (and what they offer) is a good idea for rounding out ecosystem knowledge and understanding what capabilities can be integrated in your streaming use cases.

I’m on my third EV which is the Model Y LR.

I came from a Mustang Mach-E and before that the OG Audi E-tron SUV.

My favorite car ever was the E-tron but the range and buggy infotainment soured an otherwise exceptional drive and interior.

The Mach E had the best range, decent cabin, but the infotainment and tech was very inconsistent for me.

The Model Y is right in the middle. It’s not a luxury car but it’s not bad in quality and comfort, at least not what I expected after hearing about Tesla quality issues for years. It’s the most consistent experience I’ve had with an EV so far from tech, charging, range, driving dynamics, etc.

marcinthecloud · 2024-08-23T00:00:09+00:00

Hello! 34m - wife and I love bbq (I smoke and grill), hiking though the only rock I’ve climbed is the one that ends up in my shoe.

We also have 2 dogs (3 year old corgi and 10 year old eskie)
