I love the Miltons GF frozen pizzas from Costco. Kirkland brand is meh imo

I definitely read your post the other way, but yeah, this way is bad too. I hadn’t noticed they don’t have a setting for it.

I will skip liking your upstream reply - solidarity!

Dopamine roulette

A meme showing two red buttons. One says “they should make more music” and the other says “I wish it was more like their old stuff”. A man is shown sweating over the choice of which button to push.

we are so back, etc.

RT’s voice was never my thing but I felt the exact same way the first time I heard the acoustic version of “Push” - he was not just a guy trying to pump out radio plays.

inb4 the e/h2o bros show up

Totally understand this feeling 😆

Can confirm the recipe is AWESOME

Vasectomy humor aside: I know folks who’ve lost their only son or only daughter out of some number of the other, and I can’t imagine how much it would hurt to be asked this especially early on.

Lots of these situations desperately need some new quips.

I’ve got 4 boys and my standard was “we did, 4 times”

Wish I’d thought to add the vasectomy bit though - Intrusive question, meet over sharing!

Off topic but delighted to see aplomb in the wild

The business requirement/problem (consolidate multiple instances of a table) and the use of storage layer vs. SQL to do so. I’ve bumped into this twice with similarly implemented ERP systems, but maybe it’s just not that common otherwise? Thanks for engaging on it!

I feel like the corollary to this is everyone wants to believe they’re Rick Rubin

The ext table presents the same result (plus some metadata) as if you’d unioned all the source tables.

I wasn’t very clear in my wording - this is multiple physical source tables (one per business entity). I’m extracting each table to a separate file. All instances of a given table (entity1.customer, entity2.customer, etc) have the same columns, and I’m exposing them all using one DW external table.

One or more file per entity, if that matters - N files per table.

I land them in a common data lake location and provide access using a view. It’s effectively a union but at the file level instead of SQL.

Is there a name for this?

#dataBS I have a terminology question: I’m extracting more than one instance of a table from a single source (e.g., ERP customers). Same source db, same table definition, different data as they’re for separate entities.

We’re not sure what else is in this one of ours but we’ve loved having Pyrs!

Is that a Great Pyr? That expression is very familiar

<screams in COTS design decisions>

Proposal: alt tag #dataBSerious for when things get real

Absolutely not. Poast on.

Clearly time for an SR 😄

this is better

I probably missed that by a generation here in central CA

Having previously worked at an ag vertical company the novelty of this has worn off 😆
