  • I only use fare height when forced through the means of technology that for some reason hasn’t been legislated to provide sane units mandatorily when sold in Canada

    The exceptions to this would be lumber. Then occasionally I get pissed off at any Canadian company (or even government form) that refuses to follow our own standards. For instance federally, its recemmoneded to use YYYY-MM-DD unless you’re writing out the month with three letters or more in which case you can use the insane states method. Yet consistently in forms I input the date wrong cause they do whatever that other format is

    It’s in git. In our current but on its last legs env we had a inhouse built tool that would compare a release branch with master and build a series files we’d throw at the DBA to run updating procs, tables, views, etc. Had procs built to preserve data when ddl changed and what not. Very painful. This was on Netezza.-

    Now we are moving to Azure Synapse… And we are using Azure DevOps instead of Bitbucket and it works but its jank. Our git repo is now actually tied to the DB through the use of release pipelines. PRs on master will get released automatically… That said most recent update from msft and now it takes 7hrs just for the deployment plan to build.

    Its not great… My company is addicted to stored procs. I hear there is some projects looking into databricks, azure data factory, sparks, etc… For now my life is pain and complaints, just trying to get people to learn to love git. BI here before I joined unfortunately not IT minded.

    Edit: didn’t even touch on testing… And frankly half the devs seem like they don’t/don’t know how to even do impact analysis… If you change a column, at minimum search the code base for impacts… Don’t just deploy and blow up our prod cause you’re mismatching sizes





  • I hate cooking. I don’t know the requirements, theres insufficient time for tasks, this language has no garbage collector so I easily run out of counterspace…

    The specifications can be wildly non-sprcific im regards to cook time, expecting me to calculate performance of my appliances.

    I can give the same inputs and the outputs can vary consistently.

    That article really just convinces me more that the cancel canada day movement is naive and misguided.

    Don’t take and sully our national day. Instead choose to enrich and improve it by making it more. There is room for both national pride on our Country and acknowledgement of past crimes.

    Respectfully, fuck off.
