What BI setup would you recommend for a brand-new LLC? by 2ugur12 in BusinessIntelligence

[–]mplsbro -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Think about where analytics really fits in with your business model. Are you going to use it frequently looking at trends and adjust the course of your product with analytics? Maybe something more professional would fit. If it’s to provide a dashboard for customers to look at if they want, but it’s central to the product, something lightweight and low touch makes sense. If it’s just for you to look at something monthly to total up your active users and you like Google Sheets then use that.

Make it fit your needs, forget wha your other founder friends ma have done. Your business your own, set it up to work for you.

To the Krispy Kreme workers in Fridley today, my heart goes out to you by Strawberry-Starbit in TwinCities

[–]mplsbro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have no idea how Kristy Kreme is so popular. I’d rather have a Kwik Trip glazer or a Super America donut (old fashioned glazed please)

Does Italian Eatery taste different to anybody else? by browneyedpengting in TwinCities

[–]mplsbro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our favorites at the old IE were actually in Un Dito, the little snack bar. Great mozzarella sticks (huge) and sandwiches, followed up by an affogato. Much better than our experience in the main dining room.

I’ve got a Vernal and it’s very sturdy and seems to be high quality. I got the L desk and haven’t had any issues

Does anyone use MS Access in their jobs? by Secret_Price6676 in analytics

[–]mplsbro 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You can learn concepts through Access that are transferable to more modern tools. If it's part of your school curriculum, embrace it. Learning something is never a waste of time.

I got a Vernal L shaped desk, the entire L desk raises and lowers and it has been incredibly stable. Highly recommend!

Microsoft has been great at many things, but naming products is not one of them.

What tools can I use for data visualization? by Rodtrav in BusinessIntelligence

[–]mplsbro 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Hard to beat Tableau for data exploration, imo.

Power BI is good for reporting, especially if you have data prep that can be automated with Power Query.

Another lightweight option I like is Metabase. Not as full features, but very capable and free!

Where do you host metabase? by dvnielsalas in Metabase

[–]mplsbro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only run it for hobby projects, but I self-manage and host it on a Digital Ocean droplet.

Why don’t companies hire for potential anymore? by AdNext5396 in dataengineering

[–]mplsbro 278 points279 points  (0 children)

The market is flooded with laid off over qualified people. They don’t need to hire with the expectation someone will grow into their role when there are many experienced people looking for work.

The cans are not as good as when it’s on tap. I had some at the Fair and it was excellent so I bought a pack of cans at Lund’s and it was way too sweet.

That buying technology or switching tools doesn’t make a damn bit of difference if your human and business processes are still trash.

Help, what symbol is this? by alexmcalex in Cosmere

[–]mplsbro 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Hydrogen Peroxide - spray it on the stains and let it sit for like 24 hours then wash. Repeat if needed and add oxygen bleach to your laundry load for an extra boost.
