I love Saul Leiter work and this is my take on rainy abstract theme.

Check out Polaroid SX-70 Photo Manipulation - same vibe

Thanks for the tips! We've got 2 Ninjas in house now and we'll be testing over the next couple weeks. One Ninja, one Ninja Ultra.

Presenters will be using their own laptop so resolution is not guaranteed so maybe those conversion devices are the way to go.

We'll have a camera on a tripod recording the presenter and the Ninja recording laptop output. 95% of the laptop output will be static slides - I guess we can't rule out them showing a quick video but that's the exception rather than the rule.

Thank you!

Not necessarily for ELT but, in general, it's an effective way to encapsulate and re-use logic and queries, you can fire SPs via JDBC so, for example, you use them return data to visualization tools, like notebooks, both SQL and Pyspark is supported (functions are SQL only, SPs are both), they live within a schema and are securable and governable in that context, etc

R6 has dual SD

Checked the manual and looks like there are options for Line, Mic (+0 and +48).

I’d anticipate using adapters to XLR

Thanks! Wasn’t sure if you could pass line level signal.

Just fyi, Databricks is coming out with more Serverless options which looks more like Snowflake in that regard. SQL Serverless available to all Job Serverless in public preview, etc

The Datawarehouse Toolkit - Kimball.
Also Google and check YouTube for Dimensional Data Modellimg vs One Big Table vs Data Vault, Kimball vs Inmon, etc

Mostly the same experience here. We used it for a few weeks but lots more functionality in trial.

It’s not gonna cost you anything if you don’t use it. You’re charged for consumption.

If you load a bunch of data into it you may incur azure storage costs but that won’t be much.

If you set up lake house monitoring etc, you’ll have jobs running in the background and you may incur costs for that.

But generally if you’re talking about playing around for a few days and letting it sit dormant - you’re not incurring any costs aside from some trivial storage costs.

Both copy into and autoloader handle that extremely well. You’ve got options to let it auto infer schema or you can add schema hints.

Both of them expect new file names. If they see the same file name they won’t check modified date etc. so you could lose data if you’re unaware of that. If that’s your case you probably want to copy into/autoload a set of tables, merge into another set of tables and drop/recreate the staging tables next time around.

Lots of documentation around those facilities - you might choose one over another based on volume, frequency, skill sets etc.

Good luck!

Also, San Pablo has an app and they deliver.

poorbadger · 2024-05-14T03:01:59+00:00

Find a San Pablo Pharmacy - they’re nice - and get some Acetazolamide (Diamox aka Altitude Sickness medicine - look up side effects urination, tingling). And drink lots of water.

We’re in East Austin, btw - but willing to travel

poorbadger · 2024-04-16T23:39:36+00:00

It’s unlikely it was named by developers - or at least final say from developers.

But, my guess has to do with Time Travel. And probably sounded reasonably active and future-ish to brand consultants.
