I am in the market for an alternative to Databricks' notebooks. Essentially, I want to use spark-connect, but also interact with delta tables directly via polars and duckdb (while still leveraging Ibis).

Support for Observable tier plots would be amazing.

could you summarize what's wrong with the book?

Microsoft is using Delta for their Fabric Lakehouse architecture and its also what OneLake is built around so now you have another massive player choosing Delta.

Databricks has a lot of nice closed-sourced components, e.g., Unity Catalog, Delta Live Tables and Photon (a C++ implementation of Spark).

Delta itself seems fairly open-source: https://github.com/orgs/delta-io/projects/10/views/1 and hopefully someone will implement Liquid Clustering!

how does the pro version compare to the 2 and 3? would you get pro over this one?

i'd love a pair of jf rey smart glasses

is the reported hiring freeze absolute (security roles)? i was blown away by the meta quest 2 and would love to be involved somehow

It is technically possible to connect the Apple Watch directly to the FreeStyle Libre glucose sensors as demonstrated here: https://github.com/gui-dos/DiaBLE

Unfortunately, in this case you need to pay for a certificate for signing the app, build it yourself and so on

I have a similar setup, but with the Fitbit Versa 3 connected to Nightscout (https://glancewatchface.com/).

I can imagine this being incredibly useful for parents!

Thank you! I am going to check out the quest 2.

Vrchat or something else?

What hardware is needed for playing around with this?

security

Anything requiring a security clearance

being present in the moment. not always being productive or entertained

$349? What price are you getting? (The course is regional priced)
