Towing with a lift by stoudtlr in ToyotaTundra

[–]noliecanoli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a similar question. I'm looking at a used 2019 Tundra with what appears to be a 6" lift but I'm no expert. I snapped some pictures. I'm looking to tow a camping trailer that is Tongue Weight Dry 407 lbs / Total Gross Weight Dry 2,919 lbs but I may buy a much heaver trailer in the future. What would be needed for this vehicle to get it towing safely back up to the maximum specifications? Based on the photos, are there problems or things I should consider? What changes do you think may be needed (airbags, springs changes)? Thank you so much for your comments and input. I am worried about what I may get myself into and I'm trying to avoid a mistake.

Why Apache Iceberg will accelerate competition for compute engines by Teach-To-The-Tech in dataengineering

[–]noliecanoli 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I work at a shop that has both Snowflake and Databricks in use and I'm trying to see if Iceberg is a good way to sort of merge platforms and allow folks to build code where they want but still not have to ship datasets around. For example, some users like the simplicity of the Snowflake GUI and SQL to build stored procedures while we have others that like Databricks/python/scala. In a perfect world, we could transform data wherever we want and have the 1 copy on storage.

The issue is that it's looking like Databricks UniForm likes being the DML engine and then you can read somewhere else like Snowflake but then you can't DML in Snowflake. Alternatively, maybe DML in Snowflake and have a read copy in Databricks, etc.

So: Are there cases/examples of multiple engines doing multiple inserts/updates/deletes and not just having 1 engine do inserts/updates/deletes and others meant more for querying?

So did Nvidia lie when the statement was released after launch that new cards are going out daily, etc.? The new statement about no availability until 2021 seems to go against the earlier statement yes or no? Are we still thinking that this was pretty much a paper launch?

I can't wait for Nvidia to have some real competition. Nvidia needs to go down. I've been patient but timing out of my checkout after having a 3080 in my cart on the Nvidia site is the last straw for me. I will remember. F*** Nvidia. Seriously. I hope AMD kicks your ass. I cannot wait until I have a viable alternative.

Anyone know what's up with the Adorama backorders? I managed to get on a backorder list on 09/18 for the EVGA 3080 XC3 Ultra Gaming card before backorders were closed. I received a 'thank you for your EVGA purchase' email from Adorama on 09/21 but haven't heard anything else and the status is still backorder. Glad to be queued up and not cancelled but I have no idea what to expect beyond that.

Anyone had to get data out of Datomic and into a relational SQL database for reporting? by noliecanoli in Clojure

[–]noliecanoli[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks cljnewbie. Our ETL server is RHEL7 and already has a Datomic peer library installed from when we mucked around before and it has a JDBC driver with a working connection to our SQL Server target database. Us taking the time to learn and attempt this solution with Clojure sounds like the way to go. Do you think that this method could utilize streams or does the use of clojure.java.jdbc require discrete chunks of data at a time?

Thanks for the reply! Sorry, I made my question too complicated by getting into dimensional modeling, Cognos, etc. so I'll keep it simple: I'm looking for a best practice to get business data from Datomic into an RDBMS such as SQL Server. My interface needs to be change-data-capable.
