That's right. You can read in structured files and query them locally without having to load into a database. It's nice in the case where you would rather write analytics sql, or want to convert between sql and pandas. It's very quick to load and run files. It can connect to databases, too.

Not that I could smell. I love the bottle brushes, too! That's another really cool tree. They are also blooming everywhere right now.

Thanks! Yeah, is surprisingly easy to eat it all. Definitely a special occasion dinner, but I will make it again.

Those sound like perfect scenarios! One of the first projects that got me hooked on python was processing large csv files instead of opening them in excel and running visual basic on them.

If you haven't already, you should check out duck db for working with your larger data sets, too. It's pretty neat. https://duckdb.org/

I'm a data engineer working mostly in Python and sql embedded in a data analytics team. Our main use cases are for ingestion pipelines (API sources, glue scripts, batch jobs in airflow and aws), and some work in pandas that doesn't fit into our dbt sql models. I think it's also nice for data exploration and sharing via jupyter/colab notebooks.

What are you thinking of using it for?

This guy is doing 2023 in Oracle sql. I can follow the logic on some of them. Others...not so much. 😵 https://hartenfeller.dev/blog/advent-of-code-oracle-2023-day7

We went to the Auckland botanic gardens for a few hours on Saturday. There was an ultra marathon going in the forest trail in the back. Lots of nice flowers out.

We have a metal all-clad pan that I really like. It's going on 10+ years of service. The handle doesn't get hot where you are supposed to grip it as long as the burner is the right size for the pan base. I've never needed to use a mitt or towel except for taking it out of the oven.

It will get warmer if your flame is coming over the sides when the burner is too big. It's also hot where it joins the pan, but I don't grab it there. :)

The heat conduction might depend on the brand, too. All-clad and de buyer are pretty heavy duty pans.

Wow, I had no idea they glow under black light. That's a cool gift!

Theatre of Tragedy fits that style. They are older, but worth checking out.
