Did you get the job?

Well, I think productivity gains should correlate with stock price growth. If we want stock prices to increase exponentially, sales must also grow exponentially, which means we need to become exponentially more productive. We can stop that — or we can stop tying company profitability to stock prices, which is already happening to some extent. And when we talk about 'greedy shareholders,' remember that often means pension funds - essentially our savings and our hope for a decent retirement, assuming productivity continues to grow exponentially.

How did it go?

This is a great example of how one can make a big impact with a simple one-day side project.

It's simple an genius! Love it!

How does it work? Translating free text to overpass? Looks very promising!

FYI, links to your linkedIn and resume in your portfolio appear to be broken.

I don't think any of them can.

In my childhood, me and my brother had access to computers (and simcity) only once a month. Because we still wanted to play, we actually made paper version of it, drawing maps ourselves and doing all the financial calculations on a separate sheet. I wanted to write my own simcity. Later on, I spent considerable amount of time designing the code, again on paper as I still didn't have access to computers. I think that had the most significant impact on my skills, and, eventually, my career. Thanks for that

I was thinking for some python (or similar language) api for Ray tracer that doesn't have a steep learning curve and is easy to use.

Are there any modern alternatives to POV-Ray?

This is weird. Their privacy policy enforcing them to delete your account. I guess it is just a catch for those who don't know what GDPR us.

4. Right to deletion

a) Obligation to delete

You may request the controller to delete the personal data concerning you without undue delay, and the controller is obliged to delete such data without undue delay, if one of the following reasons applies:

- The personal data concerning you are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.

- You withdraw your consent on which the processing was based and there is no other legal basis for the processing. You object to the processing and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or you object to the processing.

- The personal data concerning you have been processed unlawfully.

The deletion of the personal data concerning you is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.

The personal data concerning you was collected in relation to information society services offered pursuant to Art. 8 (1) DSGVO.

In data engineering, there are frameworks like DBT that do exactly that. In fact, these are industry standards and the recommended way to do transformations and cleanups nowadays. This is essentially a mix of sql and jinja (and yaml files, for variables), you can create your own macros, it comes with it's own testing framework and also strict sql code formatters. Fits git flow quite well. The rationale is that it enables data analysts (data analytics engineers) to do quite sophisticated stuff still using sql. Also, if you are operating on datasets that are larger that a single machine can process, doing it in sql and passing to MPP engines like BigQuery and Snowflake are probably the only way to do it with relative ease.

In any case, this is for data engineering only. I wouldn't imagine doing this for live production stuff.

Very cool! Is it possible to connect to steampipe via jdbc connector?
