North of North is on CBC, for my fellow Canuck’s looking for Canadian content!

Stranger things. Season 1 was perfect, 2 & 3 were mid except for the nostalgia factor. I’ll die on this hill.

Stranger Things would have been a perfect anthology show too, while still getting to explore the in universe lore.

It did make me laugh though

Can’t wait for this guy to be the excuse for forcing remote workers back to office.

I really don’t want to go back. I like my routines, my home office is now better than any I’ve ever had, and I don’t have to poop next to other people.

Wololo

I’ll be honest, when I was learning to program in Java I mostly just wrapped errors in an empty try catch to shut them up, with no regard for actually handling them.

I assume most other learners do that too.

That second image, I think you got an owl inverted off a cat!

The more of these cars I see, the more I can see myself having one

They’re just positively weird looking.

My wife says not while she’s alive, so statistically I won’t ever get one.

If possible convert those files to compressed parquet, and apply sorting and partitioning to them.

I’ve gotten 10-100gb csv files down to 300mb-5gb sizes just by doing that

That makes searching and scanning so much faster, and you can do this all with open source free software like polars and ibis.

This movie looks incredibly meme-able

Definitely agree with you

From my experience most companies enshitify before the IPO to juice the metrics and boost their valuations (I.e. their payout).

The fact that they aren’t doing that yet that is a positive sign.

But founders aren’t immune to suffering from billionaire brain rot and years of exposure to the constant sycophancy and wealth seems to turn nearly everyone into a greed driven money soulless vampire.

CEOs benefit from keeping their employees scared and their shareholders excited, take what they say with a huge grain of salt.

He was born to play that role.

Its still been growing at a huge rate before that

Ah, well, such is software dependencies.

Kind of wild that Elon donated $250M alone didn’t even change the trend.

I can’t live without vim.

Sometimes I wander into vscode but it’s less productive for me.

Plus vscode has weird name inconsistencies (the app is called visual studio code, it’s branded as vscode, and the menu bar says Code), which is probably normal for Microsoft but unusual elsewhere.

I’d probably just use line delimited JSON or CSV for this use case. It plays nicely with cat and other standard tools and basically all the yaml is doing is wrapping raw json and adding extra parse time/complexity.

In the end consider converting this to parquet for analysis, you probably won’t get much from compression or row-group clustering, but you will get benefits from the column store format when reading the data.

Justice for Kaos!

I once watched a 2 part DVD movie in the wrong order and I thought it was a bold director’s choice to not introduce any of the characters or explain the background.
