This is the part where I just stick with console for specific titles, like the GTA franchise. I feel like Rockstar treats the PC as a second class citizen anyway.

I bought my PS5 Pro in anticipation of GTA 6 and the (hopefully) upcoming DragonQuest 12. May my prayers be answered.

Console doesn't work for anything but platformers. Competitive online gaming = PC (Aoe2, BF6, Dark and Darker, Swordai, MWO, The Finals, War Thunder, PS2 etc.).

144fps + Mouse + Keyboard is just superior.

> but your only tool is Excel instead of some programming language

There is little difference between (if (> a b) c d) and =IF((A1 > B1), C1, D1)

Excel is the most widely installed functional programming language IDE.

Change the language of your Windows system to anything but English and then open your Excel file with formulas again.

wouldn't it be faster/safer to upgrade to latest django/python rather than rewrite it in React/Go?

OoooooooO · 24 days ago

Python 2 to Python 3 in a Django codebase ... may be a full rewrite anyway.

I'd prefer something in Rust or C#

OoooooooO · 2 months ago

Rust, C#, Java, Go and maybe even Erlang would suffice for modern stack and IO heavy and performant workloads.

Yes, this is the reason why there are no currently-maintained data-science/dataframe libraries in Go either

OoooooooO · 3 months ago

Every DataFrame library with a significant user base uses function chaining because that's the best workflow for such stuff. Also notebook support / magic cell comments for iterative EDA.

Python: polars-py, pandas, pySpark JVM: Spark R: R

Go can't compete with this even with SIMD support.

Couldn't they just, you know, stop doing that?

They would if they would care.

I would separate dimensional or relational modeling from data governance. You can dump all the data you have in one S3 bucket, and AWS can take care of near-real-time ingestion. So no need for staging, ODS, data warehouse, data marts, hub and spoke, all that jazz. And no data modeling required, just ingest as is and dump it there. Great.

Now what is this dump good for? It's just bunch of bytes of information which now needs to be interpreted. There's different perspectives (sales vs manufacturing vs procurement vs finance etc). There's data quality issues that need to be identified and resolved. There's PII and other compliance stuff. You have to watch out for giving permissions to sensitive information (ever dealt with payroll data? It's fun) Your data dump isn't doing any of that by itself. And I think people tend to simply stop at the data dump stage and then give access to analysts and data scientists and tell them to go do reports and outbound data feeds.

With obvious results.

That's how you get 3 different values for a core KPI in 3 dashboards.

Then you look under the hood of the dashboards, only to see that not a single one follows the official definition of the business.

I'm sure it's true and all. But I've been hearing the same claim about all those tools uv is intended to replace, for years now. And every time I try to run any of those, as someone who's not really a python coder, but can shit out scripts in it if needed and sometimes tries to run python software from github, it's been a complete clusterfuck.

So I guess what I'm wondering is, are you a python guy, or are you more like me? because for basically any of these tools, python people tell me "tool X solved all my problems" and people from my own cohort tell me "it doesn't really solve anything, it's still a mess".

If you are one of us, then I'm really listening.

As a mainly Python guy (Data Engineering so new project for every ETL pipeline = a lot of projects) uv solved every problem I had before with pip, conda, miniconda, pipx etc.

Rust (backed by a foundation) won over Go (backed by Google). Oh, and remember Dart (backed by Google)?

OoooooooO · 4 months ago

Rust can do everything Go does but Go can't do the same as Rust can.
