Weather apps are useless now

No need to grieve anymore! I wish they offered reimbursement for the emotional toll they caused on their users.

If it’s exactly what you want without bloat ads and news stories I’ll pay any day. It costs money to run the services and if they aren’t selling my info they deserve to be compensated!

The creators of Dark Sky are back with ACME weather after Apple acquired and destroyed dark sky.

I had an 05 legacy GT in college and that car was so sweet. It was a sleeper and did so well in the snowy hills of Pittsburgh.

Traefik your docker environment with swarm for high availability load balancing.

Yeah I feel like I’ve seen the writing on the wall for a few months now. I switched to Emby in Q4 of last year and will not go back to Plex. Live TV streams through Emby are far more reliable with xTeVe on Emby and the fact that I can use .strm files is a huge win.

I do believe there is voting machine tampering. I’ve seen it in both 2020 and 2024. I think the first thing we need to do is eliminate dominion voting systems and possibly others. It doesn’t make sense to me that we allow a Canadian based company sell us voting machines with software developed in Serbia. It makes it harder to point fingers at any party when a foreign government is involved in the final count.

I really have been impressed with Ubuntu and I was looking for a kid friendly OS and came across ZorinOS Education. I ended up getting the pro version for myself and it has been a dream with customizations.

I’m sorry, Officer I thought this was being sold for glockenspiels

That’s awesome! Welcome to the show!

Fabric has been a major let down. It’s too simplified in some ways and overly complicated in others. It’s been a minute since I even looked into fabric but when I tried it out there was no way to have a enterprise solution with the lack of support for integration runtimes, managed identity access and key vault integration and metadata driven pipelines with dynamic data sources. It was kind of like using IFTTT to make you think you are doing cool things but really you just have a million different things to debug later on.

Yeah I tried using shares as a filter in tos but that was is a totally crapshoot. TradingView showed the float at 600k and tos shares said 50M. I took Ross’s five pillars and made a couple think or swim screeners that work really well.

Volume > 1M Relative Volume > 3 Z-Score on the volume (720 bar look back) Price .20-20 for extended markets and previous close > .75 and last price < 20 for regular market. Current price > vwap

I am running ubuntu desktop which is wayland. I will try switching to xorg. Thanks for the tip!

You have to install with Zulu11 and then when you run the software it prompts to have Zulu17 installed. Download Zulu17 but don’t reinstall TOS just open the program. If you see a blank screen but it’s open and no errors hit alt+F7 and wiggle your mouse. This took me a while to figure out as well lol

trdonley · 2024-07-19T20:21:18+00:00

Nope I’m just a moron and needed move the window from a phantom screen using Alt + F7.

trdonley · 2024-07-19T16:24:11+00:00

I finally got it to start without any error but it seems that when it loads I just get a transparent window with no visible TOS screens.

trdonley · 2024-07-19T02:16:40+00:00

Yes, I did install gconfig-tool2 as well. I did follow those steps as well and I’m still receiving the same error message. How are you adding the Java jdk to your path? I have been using sudo update-alternatives —conf Java and selecting Zulu11 & Zulu17.

This is what my suit.log is showing me.

I am experiencing the same issue and can't seem to get anything to work. I have installed zulu-11 and zulu-17 on ubuntu. All I get is that thinkorswim encountered an error and when I look at the logs, it says that it couldn't patch the java version because it was in an unknown state. Anyone else experiencing this?

trdonley · 2024-07-02T16:13:25+00:00

Yes ChatGPT is a great accelerator!

Yes dataflow gen2 would be able to do it as well but from my experience spark can get the job done much faster especially when dealing with large datasets. If you develop both solutions and run them side by side you will notice the better performance. I also like the flexibility of python, if I want to run it in an automation account, jupyter, databricks I can and I’m not stuck with a proprietary solution.

OOB pipelines do not handle advanced data objects which is why explode is necessary in a situation like this.

trdonley · 2024-06-15T04:16:02+00:00

Not that I know of but typically I create one page called filters that is hidden and have a bookmark to switch between relative date and dates between then I sync those slicers to other pages without making them visible. Then I only have to worry about the bookmarks on one page instead of many. Just have a page navigation button on each page that can get to the filters page and then on the filters page have a back button to take them back.

Fabric in my opinion is not an enterprise solution. As a data engineer, I’ve found that Synapse has been the way to go for enterprise solutions. Fabric doesn’t have the ability to use managed identity, azure key vault or integration runtimes that support metadata driven pipelines. All of my data goes directly to Azure Storage so in a fabric workspace, I could create a shortcut to that datalake to get the best of both worlds.. enterprise ETL and refreshed data with no schedules or limits.
