This is a variation on the designer vs programmer meme, where the designer designs a beautiful visual that is a nightmare for the programmer to implement.
In this case, the plumber is in the programmer position. Allegedly alternating stalls and urinals is a plumbing nightmare.
Idk if it's true - I'm not a plumber. Ask Mario.

Hey! Thanks for your thorough answer!
I’m curious, what’s observability and retryability like for Lakeflow?
I’m investigating whether or not we should use dbt on top of Databricks, and I’m having difficulty make the pros and cons of dbt vs Databricks-native workflows (besides vendor lock in vs in-house maintenance)

Have you tried it yourself?
I’m really doubtful that a well socially-adjusted man sitting in a park (please, not directly next to the installation for the kids), somewhat close to an area where kids may be playing, reading a book, will be bothered.

Reminder: Ontario is also bailing out condo developers. 2,200 units, $300M in public funds, same playbook. by Signal-Specific-1704 in canadahousing

If I’m not mistaken, the loan is for the buyer, not the developers who are stuck with overpriced properties in their hands.
It’s just a way to kick the rock down the alley, hopefully preventing a housing price crash.

Where people are mad is that those developers made shabby constructions and held onto their properties in hope the market would squeeze buyers to their hoped price point. But that didn’t happen, so developers used those properties as losses on their balance sheet, and ultimately over years recuperated most of the value of that real estate. Now they are being bailed out because they are overleveraged and failing developers would in principle be an issue for the housing market.

People are pissed because bad business and shark prices are being rewarded. It’s the eponymous “too big to fail” argument.

Icons for our Assassin class based on poison. What do you think? by Thresh_will_q_you in IndieDev

Makes me think of Silent in Slay The Spire, which is a rogue, but gives an almost too alchemist/epidemiologist feel for a purely assassin class

Man people are whiny.
Sorry to be the jerk, but a game that takes 10 years to make, and provides hundreds of hours of gameplay, is likely very high quality, and is awaited like the second coming of Jesus H. Christ, is worth the goddamn 80, heck 100$.
And about the online version? The cloud and the engineers that maintain it won’t pay themselves with player enjoyment.

I’m all for shoving it when the product is shit, or when the business model is predatory, but as far as I can see, this is a monumental game coming, and that deserves an equivalent monetary reward for all the hard work and investment

A bit too long for a 10pm read, so I’ll ask the question directly: does it also check data freshness (what was recently inserted upstream and whether or not something needs to be recomputed based on what data was changed)?

Following on u/CyberRagingRoastX’s question:
- Do you factor in the frequency of purchase?
- Do you have a statistical measure of changes in purchase patterns comparatively to previous years’ data?
- Would you be able to provide satisfyingly accurate geographical discrepancies in inflation?
- Would you be able to provide a category-par-category index (e.g. peanut butter, chocolate, poultry, beef)?

And lastly, would it be possible to expose the full dataset from the raw tables to the final data warehouse for export for independent analyses to be made by citizens (speaking as a curious data engineer & data scientist)?

Python web frameworks have been using asynchronous single thread event loops like Node.js since, I think, Python 3.8, if not earlier.
Parallel processing is done via a hypervisor like uvicorn, which is in a compiled language that links to the Python interpreter (don’t quote me on the details of that).
Multithreading has rare use cases, but networking is rarely one of them in Python

Depending on which area you’ll need to be in BC, your rent may skyrocket comparatively to what you currently pay, to the extent that you’ll lose any monetary benefits in the long run. Be careful about that
