Every commit in Delta is time travel-able. Defaults in Delta clean up logs in 30 days (and data in 7 days but requires a VACUUM be issued.) You can set those retention periods to a…

Welcome to Databricks! I've been an SA at Databricks for the past two years and love it here. The people you get to work with here are world-class and our customers legitimately lo…

Thank you for FullPageOS. I was thinking of building something for a project I had. This will save me tons of time!

Programming languages will always be better, more feature rich and more capable than any DSL. However, the whole reason things like terraform or puppet become popular is because th…

I tried to organize a corporate hackathon at one point in my career. My initial idea was to make it freeform. However after talking to people who wanted to participate, I found tha…

I started in the software engineering space and move into data engineering, and I was floored with the complete lack of tooling. There is a HUGE gap between software engineering an…

Ran into a similar issue last year in the East US region. We contracted support and they gave a similar response. From my understanding talking to people who use AWS and GCP this i…

I'm with you, I'm a dev who prefers Windows over Mac. I'm convinced that most Mac users don't use multiple monitors and they're completely fine with the really poor window manageme…

Ah - that makes sense. This might be a bit easier in healthcare as I believe it's pretty common to have many different ops teams each responsible for different parts of the busines…

Maybe I should rephrase that: Is it impossible for a company that defines Dev+Ops as a single responsibility to be compliant?

What exactly is a "Conflicting duty"? What's stopping a company from stating that developing, deploying and supporting software is a single duty?

The author calls out a few reasons why DevOps fails for organizations all of which I agree with - however the one that I've never completely understood: Regulatory reasons for keep…

I was getting ready to disagree with you - but then I tried to think of any time I've actually pushed code to production with the "DELETE" keyword in it. The problems that I've had…

I've worked in healthcare IT for my entire professional career - It's A LOT more complicated than most people think. For the last 5 years I've focused on the data side of healthcar…

I doubt that Microsoft was looking to get into the "advanced text editor" business. Their biggest money maker is Azure, they made a text editor that promotes Azure.

Very recently implemented a "lakehouse" in Azure with Databricks and ADLS. So far the enterprise is pleased with it. Our traditional IT EDW developers like it because they can use …

When Reddit's videos started taking off (more posts using it instead of Gfycat) I got frustrated that I couldn't post the gifs/videos to Discord without requiring a click through t…

"Don't change the function signature" and semver are things that are absolutely hammered into devs who work on library code. I'd be hard pressed to find somebody even tangentially …

I find it hilarious that this made it's way into an Amazon listing for some waterproofing chemical. https://web.archive.org/web/20210607233655/https://www.amazo...

Fascinating. Any clue as to what the largest factor for "similarity" is, and how much it contributes?

I've got a question for anybody who works in ad/marketing tech - is what Robert is describing something that you've worked on/with and seen successful results? If so did you build …

I work in healthcare software and recently did a spike building a voice assistant for the EMR. We compared Google, AWS, Azure and Nuance's voice and intent recognition and Nuance b…

As nearly every poster in this thread mentioned, this headline is click-bait. I don't blame the author actually, this is very targeted click-bait (OO programmers) and I took the ba…

Perhaps a better example: Jewish people are telling you the earth is round so that way they can distract you from the fact they're kidnapping children and drinking their blood. A f…

My bias has always been against click-and-drag programming, and I believe it mostly comes from my application developer background as the sentiment towards visual style application…
