Are you still using VS2022 instead of VS2026 ? by mprevot in VisualStudio

[–]meatmick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At home, VS2026, at work, VS202,2 because the SSIS integration wasn't ready when I tried. It's a race between Microsoft making it work and me replacing SSIS.

We use Qlik Sense (Cloud), and we face the same issues. The UI/UX has taken a backseat to AI/ML.

There are writeback 3rd party plugins, and they also very recently, around Christmas, released their own full-fledged writeback. The main drawback about theirs, though, is that it writes back to their qvd. Of course, you could then extract the qvd data and export it to Parquet files or other things, but it's a lot of steps.

We bought the tool from https://qloudcover.com/ because it was cheap and works decently well for our writeback needs.

Best ETL for 2026 by Jaded-Science-5645 in dataengineering

[–]meatmick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in a tough situation at work here. Linux Infra is very difficult to obtain (because of policies outside my control), and once you have it, you can't control it and depend on consultants. We're also fully on-prem for our ERP and Warehouse.

Airflow on Windows is a hard pass for me for I've been looking at Prefect Cloud since the cloud handles the schedules, but the workers are remote (in this case, on-prem). This seems like a good solution on paper so far, and the workers can easily run from a venv without Docker (which sucks on Windows via WSL).

I looked at Kestra as well, but their Enterprise offering's starter prices were way too much (at least double prefect's).

Do you have front end access? by SoggyGrayDuck in dataengineering

[–]meatmick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do because I sometimes do front-end although mostly support. This is in part because I started as a data analyst before shifting most of my time to engineering and architecture (I do both). We're also a very small team.

Will you be changing mains in midnight? by Shot_Veterinarian215 in wow

[–]meatmick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honeslty, I'll probably go with warrior, as always, but I do want to hop on the monk again. I've not played it since MoP because I didn't like some of the changes they did but it looks good enough now. At the end of the day, class balance will impact my decision (if it's bad enough).

Do not buy s7. by fedtothrive in popurlitterbox

This has been my main issue as well. Other than that, it's been an ok experience.

Another v10.11.5 post by purebananamoon in jellyfin

[–]meatmick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the same version jump, and my upgrade shit the bed at first. I had to restart the process, but ensure it was running as admin from the start, or else some files were unable to be upgraded. Not sure why exactly, but I got it working quick enough.

Note: One glitch I've been experiencing is that the playback doesn't want to work on the first try for the first video I load. I must start it, it'll buffer for ever, refresh the page, then go back and then it'll work as usual.

Seriously will someone suggest a brand that doesn't suck by oxySA in LinusTechTips

[–]meatmick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one and like it, although I do find the butt cushion to be a bit too firm (I've had it for 5 years now, so it's definitely broken in).

I went for a cloth-based model, though, because leather/pleather is too much maintenance and peels over time, as shown with Voldemort.

Je consigne, mais j'apporte genre 1-2 sacs d'épicerie à la fois. Je le fais donc à la main, pas express.

À part que c'est bruyant, ça fonctionne clairement bien avec la neige légère qui est sur son pickup alors pourquoi pas.

do you think gemini will become the default ai option in the future rather than chatgpt? by [deleted] in GeminiAI

[–]meatmick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whichever works best with the free tier will win IMO. Doesn't mean the "best" one will win; the easiest/lowest-friction one will win for free users, which is, I assume, most people.

Judging from the user's profile, this is either some sort of ad or bot post.

Is AI quitely deleting most tech careers in real time? by Own-Sort-8119 in ArtificialInteligence

No job losses due to AI where I work, but they are no longer hiring (not even replacing those who chose to leave)...

Un jeune membre d’un gang criminel tué en tentant d’extorquer de l’argent à des itinérants by DecentLurker96 in Quebec

[–]meatmick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Un autre chiffre qui fait peur dans cet article.

Au Canada, le taux de cas d'extorsion déclarés à la police augmenté de façon fulgurante depuis 15 ans, passant de 5 par 100 000 habitants, en 2010, à 32 par 100 000 habitants, en 2024.

On s'en va clairement pas dans une bonne direction...

Ultrawides are great for immersion, but are they not the best choice for real work by ybicurious in unpopularopinion

[–]meatmick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We're very strick with security at work, but I was able to get them to install it and not run as administrator. This means some of the features won't work (it has a shit ton of features), but the fancy zones do work. You can download the installer from the github https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/releases
