The genus still has to match, and python is a whole genus https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_(genus)

Python is a genus of constricting snakes in the Pythonidae family native to the tropics and subtropics of the Eastern Hemisphere.The name python was proposed by FranΓ§ois Marie Daudin in 1803 for non-venomous flecked snakes.
Currently, 10 python species are recognized as valid taxa.Three formerly considered python subspecies have been promoted, a...

My partner wants to cross two types of ducks. We already raised some hybrids like that, but bought, not crossed from our ducks

The mulard (or moulard) is a hybrid between two different genera of domestic duck: the domestic Muscovy duck (Cairina moschata domestica) and the domestic duck (Anas platyrhynchos domesticus), derived from the wild mallard. American Pekins and other domestic ducks are most commonly used to breed mulards due to the breed's high meat production. L...

so, I've got a small performance question. I've got a program which reads in a ton of files, processes them, and writes them back to disk (it also interacts with a database in the midst of all of this, but not much time is spent on that in the grand scheme of things). Now, after a tad bit of profiling, seems like my program is spending most of its time processing the files. Now, I could probably do this processing in parallel, which would probably warrant some sort of a speedup. Now, my question is, if the API for my program looks something like the following (pseudocode, for example's sake) ~ ```py
def do_something(files_to_process):
for file in files_to_process:
processed = process(file)
write_to_disk(processed)

def process(file):
contents = read_file(file)
parsed = parse_file(file)
return parsed

def write_to_disk(processed):
... # irrelevant, program isn't spending much time here anyways
would I be able to meaningfully run process in parallel? something likepy
processed = do_in_parallel(process, files_to_process)
``` I'm asking, since process is also reading in files from disk, and I'm not sure if that sort of I/O is going to impact the effectiveness of doing running process on a bunch of files in parallel. (fwiw, reading in the files from disk isn't taking up much time in comparison to the actual processing).
or would I have to somewhat refactor my API (for example, reading in the files separately, and processing them separately, and parallelizing the latter

thick osprey
#

You could create a queue of files to process and thread process, allowing it to pull from the queue.

low chasm
thick osprey
#

Can the files be processes independently?

low chasm
#

I'm not using python, if that's of relevance ~ I just want to know if I'd have any trouble if I just did all my processing (the for loop) in parallel

low chasm
#

each file is standalone

thick osprey
#

Then in the parallel thread read/process/write. Make each file its own little process that can start and finish as the disk allows. Then you just control the # of total processes running.

low chasm
#

because I'm not spending much time actually reading the files, in the grand scheme of things

thick osprey
#

I get caught in the trap of trying to solve for the batch instead of the individual all the time. When I finally just write code that can do "the thing" once, I find it so much easier to scale after that.

low chasm
#

handling of individual files is already pretty self contained, fwiw

thick osprey
#

Then it should be pretty trivial to wrap that handling into a process/thread/whatever your language is calling it. Let that process pull from a list or queue. See what type of boost you have.

low chasm
#

sounds good then, thanks

thick osprey
#

It could always just not work. haha

low chasm
thick osprey

parallel anything always adds a spice of side effects, race conditions, and joy.

rayon is somewhat less painless, in that regard

it guarantees data race freedom

thanks for the insight!

I'm a chronic fidgeter right? I'm almost always playing with... something at my computer desk.

@honest star how do I make a pivot table in notion πŸ₯ΊπŸ‘‰πŸ‘ˆ. do I just need to make a roll-up manually

actually about to switch to excel lol

or I create my own backend and simply use notion as a frontend πŸ€”πŸ€”

ew

#

ok, gonna make my own pivot table thing lol

tranquil iron

why?

tardy rain

There is a niche in the pivot table market

That's unexplored

tranquil iron

the undiscovered table?

young shoal

I see. aggregate stats are indeed fun

young shoal

currently my repr is a little janky, but it "works". i'm hoping to fix this for next year though

next year I want to be able to put multiple tags on each app, so I don't have to sum to get counts, or have "denied after interview"

and also track languages/ responsibilities in the ad

I should get into this notion nonsense

it's alright

anyways, i think it should be relatively easy to make my backend thing

notion is supposed to have an api i think. hopefully i can just eat entire tables at once

low chasm

backend thing?

#

yeah it has an API

young shoal

well i want to make a simple CLI to spit out a pivot table for my applications

this thing

young shoal

what chart thingy

#

wtf?

#

oh i see

rugged owl

sorry, that one's ugly af

young shoal
#

that's amusing. i would rather just have a normal tree, lol

rugged owl
#

Like this

young shoal
#

that looks ok

#

my main issue is it's not really possible to compare how many interviews you had between companies, yk

#

so i'm thinking just have one "interviewing" stage

young shoal
#

what

rugged owl
#

Wdym by that lol

young shoal
#

like, some companies might have 1 interview, some might have 3

rugged owl
#

Oh you mean stages?

young shoal
#

yeah something like that

#

like, final interview at one company might be 1st interview, at another it might be 4th

rugged owl
#

Some you can branch off:
initial interview -> video call -> video call 2 -> Final interview -> Offer

#

like that

young shoal
#

lmao

#

these look so dumb

rugged owl
young shoal
#

oof, 5 scams is unlucky

#

great ratios by this person though, sheesh

rugged owl
young shoal
#

that looks greater than 10:1 app to interview ratio

#

and i have a meetup soon 😬

#

offers should be coming out this week for this company i think. and for the kidney one too

rugged owl
young shoal
#

tomorrow i think i have to write a followup for this other company

rugged owl

Kidney one?

Selling a kidney?

young shoal

kidney health company 😩

i'm really nervous for this one πŸ˜” more so than other ones for some reason πŸ˜”

rugged owl

Why? Just because they are kidney shaped?

young shoal
#

no for the meetup in 15 minutes. that one i don't care about that much

rugged owl
#

I'm probably missing some context. Interview meetup? Other meetup?

young shoal
#

to go over the takehome 😩

rugged owl
#

Oh that one. lmao, if they meeting up it means they liked your work.

young shoal
#

or they do it to everyone πŸ˜”

rugged owl

The mf take home I had, gave me dog shit instructions and didn't contact me after.

young shoal

I think it was weeks later, email rejection

young shoal

you heard the news

there's 2 passes now. one's 6, one's 12

i think 15 is delayed by a few months

foggy jungle

wat

rugged owl
#

I stopped paying for season pass a while back. Haven't been disappointed since.

young shoal

your mistake was paying in the first place 😩

#

free game = never pay

#

😬 i think i'll join in 2 minutes 😬

rugged owl
rugged owl
young shoal
#

also idk if i told you, but they told me in the first interview they brought down 400 resumes to 10 for interviews, then sent 6 the takehome

#

ok, time to join i think 😬

#

also one person just uploaded files to github

#

ok bye guys ;-;

young shoal
#

i think it went pretty well

#

they said my project was the "most ambitious"

#

I got dinged for not matching the output perfectly

#

I kinda failed there ngl

young shoal
#

and they said offers or no offers by the end of the week

rugged owl
#

This is for an internship right?

young shoal
#

indeed

#

ok but they asked to confirm a salary range and i may have given too high of a lower bound 😬

rugged owl
young shoal
#

πŸ˜”

rugged owl
#

Also, take home for an internship is next level bs

young shoal
#

well, strictly speaking i could have banged it out in like 30 mins

rugged owl
#

"how much free labor is this person willing to do" is basically take home tests

young shoal
#

well, the thing was obviously not a free labor thing

rugged owl
#

Urgh, got nothing done today.

young shoal
#

the fun thing is that baseball season started

#

oh also, they asked about chipotle lol

rugged owl
#

Why lol

young shoal

idk one of them was interested

rugged owl

Did you intern there?

#

er, or work there

young shoal

chipotle? yeah I work there

rugged owl

Oh, makes sense then.

young shoal

@honest star hello resident notion power user
Have you ever had to batch import nested markdown files into notion? I see the api does not allow uploading files to Notion

honest star
tardy rain

I have a dir named jira and about 50 dirs in it with md files in them

#

I also have a bunch of other file types
Ideally i want to mirror my dir structure in notion

honest star
#

Unfortunately Notion doesn't have a tool like that. You could probably script it in Python without too much effort. Best they've got is a transfer tool for a platform like confluence, but that's very specific for the confluence

tardy rain

Aye script it is then

is there any server for MATLAB like this one?

they charge the supply side. and apparently it works according to planet money's investigations. since it increases the likelihood the consumer actually purchases the product instead of having "shopping cart syndrome" https://open.spotify.com/episode/1p6X1X8IomAVZU4DY20Z7m

im not referring to the concept of lending with the term "buy now, pay later". as mentioned in the podcast, im specifically referring to the 3rd party services used in these ecommerce sites to provide this 0 interest, multiple payments service for online buyers.

thats for automating actions

When you have a state column, and you see values like 00, 99, ZZ, 8, 3, and an odd acronym that has NSFW websites showing up first on google.

Apparently there's also Apple's CPU chips in here too... "M1", "M2"

you know, the real advantage of linked lists for deques is that they're way easier to implement for my tiny brain

high haven

not cool

foggy jungle
#

That is indeed very uncool.

high haven
#

people like to use that one thingy

#

obsidian

#

my friend is obsessed with that one

#

allows for more customization or whatever

young shoal
#

obsidian kinda only has markdown though

#

it doesn't have kanbans or databases or the other fancy stuff notion has

high haven
#

what is mar trying to do

#

/why does he need notion

young shoal
#

by that, i mean i think we live closer

high haven
young shoal
high haven
#

wtf

#

then notion is a big step up anyway you look at it

young shoal
#

well like, digital sticky notes

high haven
#

if you want more flexibility

#

just create his own site

#

he can

#

since he knows web dev

#

lol

young shoal

heh

i think chesscom also did that, and i think they've a blog post about it

hmm was it also postgres

young shoal

oh nevermind, it was just about them https://www.chess.com/blog/CHESScom/chess-is-booming-and-our-servers-are-struggling saying they had a problem lmao

Chess.com

Dear chess community, On December 31, we had seven million active members on Chess.com in a single day for the first time. On January 20, we had ten million active members.

young shoal
#

ah, it's not that technical

#

oh well

high haven
#

if its not that much you can probs just copy and paste lmao

tardy rain
#

Got a bunch that follow different structures as markdown with vscode and also got quick notes

#

Theyre about 60 md files and assorted images and json

#

Importing programmatically is a nogo with the api atm

high haven
#

ok literally it sounds like you did this to yourself lmao

tardy rain
#

Well yes

young shoal
#

wack

tardy rain
#

Im trying to move to a better platform

high haven
#

@rugged owl unstructured data irl

#

at this point youre just missing some audio notes or something

tardy rain
#

Theyre pretty structured

high haven
#

ah ok

#

"semi-structured"

#

then

tardy rain
#

Well no, actually theyre all well structured its just that theres 3 types of structure

#

Imagine 3 collections of docs

#

Also apparently notion bad

rugged owl
#

Embrace NotePad

high haven
#

youre probably just trying to fit a square block into a round hole or whatever

tardy rain
#

Possibly

#

I asked for note app recs and notion was first

high haven
#

notion works for most lay peeps

#

for note taking

#

and then some

#

lol

young shoal
#

ok but like, notion is missing so many features

tardy rain
rugged owl
#

Notepad is first. Notepad is love, Notepad is life.

young shoal
#

notion is almost good in most facets

high haven
#

i-

#

jk

tardy rain
#

Notion api is lacking imho, not being able to upload a file is bullshit

high haven
#

notion is missing a lot

#

well

#

i cant even say missing a lot bc it solves my needs lmao

#

idk what people want from it

high haven
#

like more features like in OneNote?

#

Word?

young shoal
#

uh, pivot tables, for one

high haven
#

google docs?

high haven
#

why do you want your note-taking app to do pivot tables

young shoal
#

no lol. excel has less note-taking features

tardy rain
#

I want snippets like vscode
I want actual status type
I want notion api to let me upload my files

young shoal
#

the ratios!

high haven
tardy rain
#

Where notion issue tracker

high haven
#

or just build something lmao

young shoal
high haven
#

lmao

tardy rain
#

Im gonna spam issues till they fix it

high haven
#

you want a jira + notion mix?

young shoal
high haven
#

just do what i did

#

for my goals project

tardy rain
high haven
#

and embrace the dark side: ||low-code||

tardy rain
#

Oh its on github

young shoal
#

oh notion is opensource?

high haven
#

its nice bc i can just enter my numbers in my phone

tardy rain
#

Brb getting blocked by makenotion

young shoal
#

oh it is

high haven
#

then the stats are displayed on the web version

tardy rain
#

The excessive mouse usage in notion actually hurts my bones

young shoal
#

oh, that's just the api

high haven
#

ikr? wtf. and then mar wants an issue tracker in notion. what are these features

high haven
young shoal
high haven
#

ah

#

that makes more sense

young shoal
#

mhm

tardy rain
high haven
#

what do you mean by snippets

tardy rain
#

I dropped a screenshot further up

high haven
#

i looked at it

#

and i was like

tardy rain
high haven
#

'so you want custom messages when you hover over something'

#

or

young shoal
#

text expands into bigger text

tardy rain
#

its like emmet

high haven
#

why not just make your stuff nested

tardy rain
#

but builtin

young shoal
#

bro if notion wants to add tables and kanban boards why can't they add a pivot table

#

it's not that hard

rugged owl
#

Why are you using pivot tables for NOTES

high haven
high haven
young shoal
high haven
#

just make your own site lol

young shoal
#

"as designed" fuck off

tardy rain
#

my workflow currently is

  • name folder jira reference/relevant triage name
  • make notes.md in it
  • triage/jira -> ctrl + space
  • select snippet to expand to template note
#

you may now laugh at me

young shoal
#

πŸ˜”

high haven
#

wait

#

youre gonna use this for work?

young shoal
#

πŸ˜”

tardy rain
#

ye

rugged owl
#

Mine is open Notepad, write notes, name + toss in note folder.

high haven
#

i thought this was going to be for personal use

#

bruh

#

dont use notion for work

tardy rain
#

why would i take personal notes, wtf

high haven
#

bc thats what its for

#

lmao

rugged owl
#

leaking company secrets be like:

high haven
#

notion wont have the features you need dude

tardy rain
#

There's so much more other garbage in notion, why couldn't it have this one

young shoal
#

i only use notion for tracking schoolwork, random notes, and job apps, lol

high haven
#

they built around personal note-taking

rugged owl
#

Jira, confluence WinkWinkWinkWinkWink

high haven
#

it has the features mar would need

tardy rain
#

what the fuck is this if not for work use

rugged owl
#

Or be me, never touch either one.

young shoal
rugged owl
high haven
#

which can work in any chaotic environment

rugged owl
#

wtf, I don't have an excel emote

high haven
rugged owl
high haven
tardy rain

I was hoping for notion to be at least decent so I can pitch it for a wiki instead of shitfluence

young shoal

it's only natural you would have the excel emote

HAHAHA

im leaving hmph

@high havenI'm starting to understand this bullshit sql request from business side. It's starting to make sense why their requests makes no sense. sigh

young shoal

sg i got another interview

rugged owl
#

Wtf, what cheat code are you using?

high haven
#

anyway

young shoal
high haven
rugged owl
#

Well, I'm still working because I spent the morning doing nothing I just semi figured out what their mf email meant.

young shoal
#

salaried moment

high haven
#

me at the beginning of the week

#

then my manager was like why dont we just have a meeting with the other team

#

and i was like ok great let me drill this into their heads

#

stakeholders are sometimes something else smh

rugged owl
#

They want data splits on the avg losses for Indmenity/Medical only claims. But they phrase it as the following:
"... averages are for losses in regards to indemnity and medical by state and industry"...

wat IS THAT indemnity + medical BY state & Industry? OR is that Indemnity BY state & Industry AND medical by state & industry?
ALSO, the FIRST doesn't even make SENSE BECAUSE ADDING THEM IS EVERYTHING. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

#

That's ALL THE DATA, WHAT SPLITS?

high haven
#

obv in a more polite way in email

#

but if he was with me at the time, hed cuss them out lmao

#

wait

#

i have a screenshot

rugged owl
#

Bruh, all I got was some mf notes from my boss. And when I asked to clarify wtf this means, my boss is like: "You can ask blah blah".

high haven
#

hes speaking about one of the stakeholders

young shoal

rugged owl

Well, if anything I understood our datalake more. CLc_RooCry

Pinning me even more into this position. Smh

young shoal

if it makes you feel better, i absolutely hated the bulk of the work they made me do

in march

rugged owl
#

"Foot in each door department" was what my boss said. I'm becoming that one greak god Hermes. Jack of all traits, master of none.

high haven
#

i would be okay with that if it was actually shit i liked

It's more so that stuff I do does nothing in terms of helping out my career.

All ad hoc stuff are worthless on a resume.

Worthless? Hardly.

:comeatmebruh:

I take that back. If you truly feel it's worthless then it is. Doesn't sound like a fun time to me. I wouldn't stop that from selling the hell out of how well I handled it though. rooSpin

I access data via 2 ways,

  1. Pull all mf 400mill records or some bs onto my local machine.
  2. Use pyspark on jupyter hub.
high haven

with sql

rugged owl
#

And SURPRISE, #2 I can't download from the jupyterhub. So it's worthless anyways.

high haven
#

wait why not

thick osprey

You'll be halfway decent with SQL after all this. I'll have to come to you for query help.

rugged owl

Take a wild guess...

bc access reasons

And to think, the worst I had to deal with today was a business analyst having a hard time understanding how days work. ha!

thick osprey
young shoal
#

this is the "drop anything data related and just code"

rugged owl
#

We have offshore team to do that.

thick osprey
#

oof oh... oh I might have bad news for that idea.

rugged owl
#

Who tells us it takes weeks of "testing" to basically replace an existing script with a new script.

young shoal
#

it's cause they're all manually QAing

thick osprey
#

taking screenshots and building spreadsheets of each test. Individually.

young shoal
#

they prob use notion lmao

thick osprey
#

notion linked into Jira. Come on. Got to think big.

thick osprey
#

Oh that's particularly evil...

  • Commit the code
  • Push to remote
  • Open a PR
  • CI runs the tests
  • CI opens a Jira ticket for QA team to test
  • CI spins for two weeks
  • QA team moves the ticket to "done"
  • CI fails on deployment please try again.

what's a p1

P1 is really bad isnt it

thick osprey
young shoal

how do i say "i'm interested in the position" but with more emotion

rugged owl

You simply turn off your computer, and phone. And then nekocat_sleep

young shoal

well if you're a good enough dev, then those won't happen :D

rugged owl
#

Well, you technically work with a team.

high haven
#

you say this like there isnt anything called tech debt

#

legacy code

young shoal
young shoal
high haven
#

things that def dont scale but the business only wants to put features on the roadmap instead of working on tech debt/scaling work

thick osprey
#

Common themes:
p4 - Something is broken, nobody notices it, we'll fix it
p3 - Something is broken, a few people have noticed, here's a work around while we fix it
p2 - Something is broken, most people have noticed, we don't have a work around yet.
p1 - Something is broken, you have to be blind to not notice it. We have no work around, no idea what caused it, and we need an adult
p0 - The business is literally bleeding money, we think the servers are literally on fire, halp.

thick osprey
#

The biggest difference between a p1 and a p0 excluding legitimate disasters is the involvement of governance, legal, and shareholders (if public).

foggy jungle
#

I'm not sure why but the word "halp" absolutely slays me.

young shoal
#

πŸ₯Ί

thick osprey
#

It's like "Oh shit" versus "Oh shit" and you are on camera in high def.

young shoal
#

caught in 4k

high haven
#

what ive noticed is the business (tech-backward companies) will only allow for tech debt/scaling work to be done after something has already exploded

#

otherwise they want only product features on the roadmap

foggy jungle
#

Isn't that kind of the history of... tech in general?

high haven
#

its worst in some industries vs. others

thick osprey
foggy jungle
#

The sheriff that took my finger prints here for my background check said "You're the first person I've met in cybersecurity" and I was like... don't you guys literally have cybersec people auditing these systems? That's my literal finger prints, home address, and all my PII...

#

Long story short, they don't have a cybersec team...

high haven
#

rinse and repeat

thick osprey
#

Show how 16 hours of a dev's time could have saved the company a few hundred million after a p1 and... yeah, minds change. (of course this is literally the fix it only after it breaks mentality)

foggy jungle
#

The point being that I think even now, people just fail to realize how important data infrastructure and security is.

These 00, 3, 8, ZZ values in my "States" as in US STATES. AMknife

you're in back and forth with a recruiter?

i applied. they emailed about my availability for interview

though they say they are a "principal software engineer", so i prob don't have to BS that much

though maybe you were given those time slots?

yeah, they gave some ranges and i gave subsets of them

in that case rephrase last line as "either option works for me"

Is it a video interview? Or initial phone screen and did they give you the name of the hiring manager? (if not recruiter?)
