Two people on my team think it’s gonna solve all problems and I’m like, dude, it’s Synapse wrapped in a Power BI interface with a crappier version of Unity Catalog. It’s not even remotely original. It’ll be rebranded within 5 years

Which one?? 😂 they both say they’re the money saver if you talk to a sales rep. Which my executives did 🤦‍♂️

That’s the appeal, now that were rebranded as part of an AI and automation team. But my data team is still focused on engineering pipelines and defining data models first. I think Unity Catalog is the real game changer for us, and I’ve yet to see Snowflake or Fabric look better 🤷‍♂️

Definitely not obvious! The IN operator requires a record set. This can be a list of values (implicit VALUES statement there) or a nested query. So we have to expand the JSON list into a record set using UNNEST, basically. In SQL Server (my stack), it’s very cumbersome syntax like a lateral join 😩

Okay #DataSky

For the Snowflake fanboys, why?

For Databricks lovers, why?

❄️ reached out to our management and now leadership is like, good for AI, easier for less technical people, and cheaper. Right as my team is partnering with Databricks 🤷‍♂️

Why i teach using type annotation now, and be explicit if it returns None. But i also teach: no side effects!!!! 💪🏻

I don’t know about you, but helping my resident feather friends always brightens my day 🐦

#Nature

Wait, you put it in your hot chocolate??? ☕️

Any #traders out there us digital notetaking tools? I like pen and paper, but I’m moving around a lot and want something designed around my trading planning. Does TradingView support anything like this? Still learning, always learning 💪🏻

Crazy in California. The valley is under a high pressure ridge, trapping all the smoke and pollution. FN disgusting waking up to 100+ AQI. Looks like fog, but it’s gross 🤮

Stock Analysis - CRM, TEAM, SNOW First week of December

Quick analysis last night before bed. So not ready for the week to start 😭

Happy Thanksgiving you dirty bastards! Let’s enjoy good eats and prepare for wtf 2025 is gonna be 😂

Do you data folks know what kind of time saver system versions (temporal) tables are in managing SCD in your data warehouse? Would you a primer on it? I’m getting some training material together, and looking to see if others are interested here. #DataSky #DataScience #DataEngineering

Stock Analysis - MU, MRK, SNOW Week of Nov 18, 2024

For those that don’t know, I’m a swing trader and options trader. I’m starting to do weekly analysis to keep myself honest. So feel free to join in and lend me your thoughts 💪🏻 #TraderSky #TradingSky #Finance #Stocks

Never liked conda, anyway 😤

This reminds me when im was interning with epidemiologists. I’m inspired to do this now that I’ve the skills, myself! I love demography 💪🏻

Let’s go 💪🏻

Is there a way to see which packs I’ve been added to? Definitely seems like I get waves of followers after it happens, but i never get notified of been added to one 😂

Are the results validated? Like, remove some data, have it fill it, compare. I’d be interested to see how well it works

I used to do this, too. Everything fit into my cloud storage account and I’d upgrade to the latest Linux Mint xfce. Keep it light. Keep it clean. 😂

If there are any Linux sys admins out there with cloud exp, I have a lead on a good paying, good benefits, union job if you don’t mind living around Sacramento, CA.

Hit me up, if interested. I know the job market can be brutal, and I’d love to have good talent come to our town.

If you define your exports like filename_mmddyyyy then you’re clearly not a data person!

Also, I hate you.

Map with title "Waggle Dance" and subtitle "Daily commuting patterns in Manchester". Against an orange background a large elongated hexagon forms the main map area. Within it are 59 smaller polygon regions and within each of those 59 small coloured polygons coloured from light yellow to dark brown. Cells tend to cluster around a 'home cell', getting lighter the further from this cell. In the bottom right is explanatory text reding "How to read this map. Manchester is divided up into 'Middle Super Output Areas' (MSOAs). There are 59 in total, each represented by a larger 'cell' in the map.\n\nWithin each cell there are a further 59 small cells, again representing the 59 MSOAs.\n\nEach small cell is coloured by the numbers of commuters who live in the MSOA of the larger cell and work in the the smaller cell.\n\nWhile most people live and work in the same MSOA we see more commuting from a wider area to the south of the City."

#30DayMapChallenge Day 4: Hexagon

For today's challenge I thought I'd share new technique for showing origin-destination flows using irregular hexagon (and some other polygon) layouts.

Illustrated with Manchester commuters..

Anyone working in data needs to speak it in SQL. It’s the ubiquitous language we all use, or some flavor of it. Even Dataframe speak can be translated as such. So I agree, DuckDB has become my goto way to process things in Python for this very reason.

I covered all six in my first class to my work community because they wanted to understand merging, but it was entirely outside of any remote; that’ll be phase 2 to cover workflows and discuss how to collaborate since we’ve got a lot of diversity in teams and tooling.

😂 yeah that’s some BS statistics for ya
