Citing an article from MIT Sloan Management Review:

"But there’s no clear evidence that these mandates improve financial performance. A recent study of S&P 500 companies that was conducted by University of Pittsburgh researchers found that executives are “using RTO mandates to reassert control over employees and blame employees as a scapegoat for bad firm performance.” Those policies result in “significant declines in employees’ job satisfaction but no significant changes in financial performance or firm values,” they concluded."

james_woods commented on Running Tableau Server in the cloud bears constant risk of losing activation   old.reddit.com/r/tableau/... · Posted by u/james_woods
james_woods · 4 years ago
(from the post) Tableau is checking to see if the host has changed. This can happen all the time in the cloud, for example GCP has a live migration feature that keeps you going even if the underlying hardware fails. Also, restarting a VM is not guaranteed to boot up on the same host. The problem: Support cannot reset the license count, until you have reached the limit (max of 3 activations), i.e. participated in a lottery and hit the jackpot by locking up your system: https://kb.tableau.com/articles/issue/error-tableau-server-i...

If you stop buying animal products that lowers the demand for them, so it has long-term effects, donating $100 is a short-term effect.

SQL was not made for programmers alone. It has been invented also for not so technical people so that verboseness and overhead is part of the deal.

>When Ray and I were designing Sequel in 1974, we thought that the predominant use of the language would be for ad-hoc queries by planners and other professionals whose domain of expertise was not primarily data- base management. We wanted the language to be simple enough that ordinary people could ‘‘walk up and use it’’ with a minimum of training.

What do you usually want to happen with late data? In DD you have the option to ignore it at the source but not to update already-emitted results. Is the latter important for you?
james_woods · 5 years ago
If I have to report transaction (aka money) then yes. I need to update already emitted results. If it's just a log-based metric for internal use then no.

What I would like to have is a choice - and Apache Beam for example lets you choose this.
