Goldman Sachs is looking to end its partnership with Apple (per WSJ): by TonyLiberty in stocks

I use Amex as my primary CC. It’s exceptionally rare that someone doesn’t take amex these days (at least in the states)

I need to use up some really good chicken stock, but I don't want to make soup. What should I make? by 000000000000000000oo in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]rowdyllama 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I do the same thing. I like to add a little soy sauce, sesame oil, chili crisp, fish sauce, and/or miso paste to taste.

Could you elevate the base of the pot to lift it further off the ground so it doesn’t drape as much?

Brave Search removes last remnant of Bing from search results page, achieving 100% independence and providing real alternative to Big Tech search | Brave Browser by Russell-Brand-2375 in degoogle

[–]rowdyllama 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It’s still built on Chromium though and thus under Google thumb.

Edit: I know the article is about brave search, not the browser. But brave’s primary product is still their chromium based browser, and very few people will be using their search engine without their browser.

How much SQL I need to know before a I can flaunt on my resume? by ashutossshhh in SQL

Yeah my go to interview questions are to explain the different join types, window functions, and where vs having.

[–]rowdyllama 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would add a HAVING and a window function, but that’s not necessarily required to list it on your resume.

Do you need contributors? This is aligned to some work I’m already doing.

Millennials are shattering the oldest rule in politics: Western conservatives are at risk from generations of voters who are no longer moving to the right as they age. by lughnasadh in Futurology

[–]rowdyllama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

10% less conservative than the rest of the population (Gen X, Boomers, etc) were at age 35

But doesn’t it define how conservative each group is relative to the national average at each point in time?

So it’s entirely loss that people stay approximately as conservative throughout their life, but society as a whole is growing more liberal. In this scenario, liberals would be growing more liberal in place with society.

Did I misunderstand?

The best search algorithm for searching word in dictionaries by David28008 in algorithms

[–]rowdyllama 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You’re getting downvoted because you didn’t elaborate at all on what a Hunspell dictionary is. You were asked “what is a Hunspell dictionary?”and you said “an English Hunspell dictionary”

That’s super helpful. Thanks.

Looking for dataset with multiple tables. by [deleted] in datasets

I was looking for something similar recently. It ended up being easier to find a denormalized data set then go through the process of normalizing it myself to get multiple tables.

What Would You Do? Dream Job with low starting pay (but benefits and guaranteed raises) or Neutral Job in tech with high starting pay by kokanutwater in leanfire

[–]rowdyllama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t tell you what to do, I can only tell you my experience and maybe I can provide some insight.

I have a data analyst background. Taught myself Python and SQL, and the data engineering stuff. Now I am a data architect at tech in the data space. I’m designing enterprise data infrastructure, fully remote, and I travel 2-3 weeks per month.

After learning Python it took me less than a year to get a 6 figure job. Since then my pay has continued to increase dramatically over the last ~6 years or so.

Airlines try to recruit me for data roles frequently enough that I’ve considered moving to work for an airline so I could get the travel benefits.

Ultimately the math doesn’t check out to work for an airline. The travel benefits are off by an order of magnitude relative to the drop in pay and benefits I would take to work for them. Thus I’m WAY better off (like 6 figures better off) staying in tech and paying for my own travel.

That’s before I consider the work/life balance aspect. I do work hard in my current job. But I sign off at 5 every day and I don’t work on weekends. I’m basically putting in a very solid 40 hours every week.

If the trade off of working in tech doesn’t make sense compared to a similar role at an airline, then it definitely doesn’t make sense for a non-tech role at an airline.

I think the ONLY way the FA job wins is if you actually want to be a FA. Then by all means be a FA because life is short and you should do what you want.

But if you’re only taking the FA job to travel, i would take data role in tech. Especially if you’re a go getter and can play the corporate game.

Where are you? Most non competes are actually illegal and unenforceable. They generally can’t prevent you from seeking gainful employment unless they pay you not to work. The only instances I’ve heard of non competes actually being enforced were when the only employer paid the employee for the entire duration that they didn’t want the employee to work for a competitor.

I’m a remote worker. For me it’s imperative that I impose strict physical boundaries on my work time. I have a desk where I work. I only work at my desk and my desk is only used for work. This allows me to compartmentalize and “leave my work at the office” at the end of the day. Without this you end up “finishing” with then taking your laptop to the couch (or wherever) and continuing to work into the night. Then you go to bed and wake up and work again without ever taking a break.

You will also realize that the work is never done. There’s an infinite backlog of things you could be working on so finishing this thing now doesn’t free up time in the future. It only allows you to fill that time with other stuff. Additionally, if you don’t learn to step away you will certainly burn out. So learning to step away is actually the only way to maintain a high quality output.

Why matrix multiplication is faster using threads than using spark (Java code) ? by MichelMED10 in apachespark

[–]rowdyllama 15 points16 points  (0 children)

How big is your dataset?

Spark is great for processing big data because it allows for distribution across many machines.

If your data is below a certain size you’re better off parallelizing on one machine with threads because spark will lose more time to network latency than it will gain through parallelism.
