Doctor. Still want to explore "systems" to diagnose issues and build plans for improvement.

Whatever you think of Coinbase, this is a pretty good response IMO:
> and will not pay the $20 million ransom demand we received. Instead we are establishing a $20 million reward fund for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the criminals responsible
That's the same move from the Ransom movie from 1996 https://youtu.be/haThIxPnYro?si=Jxu0elA-ylB5Z15q

What is the lowdown on Databricks? Their bread and butter were hosted Spark and notebooks. As tasks done in Spark over a data lake began to be delegated wholesale to columnar store ELT, they tried to pivot to "lake houses", then I sort of lost track of them after I got out of Spark myself.
Did Delta Lake ever catch on? Where are they going now?
when you got out of Spark, what did you go to?

Mmmm CRISPR bacon
Cook your food. I realize some people prefer it raw but from what I understand, cooking food kills ecoli. My family has eaten lettuce that has had ecoli reports but we usually thoroughly cook or vegetables.

I don't understand the name "Strix". It's a name a GPU and motherboard partner of theirs, Asus, uses (used?) for their products. It's impossible for me to read "AMD Strix" and not think of it as some ASU's GPU with an AMD chip in it, or some motherboard for AMD sockets.
Aren't there enough syllables out there to invent a combination which doesn't collide with your own board partners?
Reminds me when I was Amazon, one of our tablets was codenamed Thor. We could ask the device what it's codename was and we special cases some functionality for the tablet we built. But it was the same code we used for the android app and it turned out some other tablet manufacturer used the codename Thor and all of a sudden the code was super broken on that device.

I was there over Presidents Day weekend. The first day I went in (around 3pm) there was zero wait. The second day I went (around 10am), I had to wait 10 minutes. All the booths seemed open. I didn't find this matched up with my experience at all.
