How hard is it to make a film/movie of sorts? (mostly by ones-self) in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The tough thing with creative endeavors is that you really just need the motivation to start and continue making anything, it can be inexpensive stuff. The important thing is output and making it a regular thing.

That being said, gearing up for a new hobby is always fun if you can afford it. But you can absolutely make short films on an iPhone.

As a lifelong peanut butter cup fanatic, this initially filled me with rage. Can't stop thinking about though...

These otters are so cute I looked up flights to Singapore and realized I can't afford it and now I'm googling otter pics

How to build a guided tour for your Tableau dashboard (thevizcollective.starschema.com)
 

Saw this posted elsewhere and thought maybe somebody would find it useful. This could improve the user onboarding experience but might take too much extra effort to apply to every dashboard.

I'd rather increase my monthly donation to support lemm.ee on GitHub than see ads here

What is Data Lineage? (airbyte.com)
 

I get questions like this a lot:

  • Where did this data come from?
  • How do I know I can trust the source?
  • What types of QA checks were applied to this data?

Data lineage is such a chronic issue in data engineering. This blog post from Airbyte gives a good overview & mentions some interesting products/projects that can maybe help out with data lineage.

Unfortunately, I have limited flexibility to purchase or install tools for this in my current role. Anyone rolled their own solution for this?

Design Thinking Bootleg (Stanford) (dschool.stanford.edu)
 

(pdf download at the bottom of the linked page)

Often the most challenging part of data engineering is figuring out what problem to solve in the first place.

The resources Stanford put in this Design Thinking Bootleg might have something that can help you work with others and build towards a well-designed solution.

Popularity of Tableau Since Salesforce Acquisition (2019) (lemm.ee)
 

I absolutely love Tableau - I've been using it virtually daily for about 10 years. I feel like it's been less and less widely-used since Tableau Software was acquired by Salesforce. At my org (and many others) leadership are pushing for PowerBI since it's cheaper (get what you pay for in my opinion).

Just curious if anyone else is feeling this / what tools you're exploring these days. I wish some open source project like Apache SuperSet would turn into a viable Tableau replacement but it's just not the same.

Array programming with NumPy (www.nature.com)
 

For Python developers, the NumPy array is a widely used data structure in data science / data engineering.

Thought this paper was a good resource to learn a bit more about the history and core concepts of NumPy.

Curious if other Spotify users are using the DJ feature. Can't decide if I like it or not yet.
