I feel like Dax says pretty often that he thinks he could safely land a plane. Can’t he just go to a flight simulation type place and find out the answer to this? He could spend an afternoon doing that and either prove that he can or find out that it’s not at all like the controls he would expect to find. I’ve never been to one, but those places must exist to train pilots, right?

I have a rather large number of data tables that relate to each other with a lot of different complex needs.

Our infrastructure is such that our IT team extracts raw data into a datalake and from there I can write scripts to extract it and model it in Databricks. Currently using CSV as the format Power BI reads from (some tables have several million rows so I found this format to be the easiest).

So I really have three choices with some pros and cons to each I'm finding:

1. Write logic in databricks - this is tougher to do as it's an involved process to promote to production etc... and can take a week or several to make the simplest of changes. It is however the most obvious place to make significant changes. The problem comes in different ways we want to shape the same data (filters and pivots and aggregations, etc...). The con to this
2. Power Query Editor - This works well but only to a point. I'm finding that if I have too many appends and merges and aggregations taking the same data in different ways it adds a ton of processing time where the same merging and appending logic written in DAX does not. In short it doesn't lend itself in a friendly performance way to give different views (filters and aggregations, etc...) of the same data and it seems I'm best in limiting the amount of these even through it seems friendlier to me and a better practice than doing it in DAX.
3. DAX - This certainly works but the more DAX I add to the model the longer that "Working on it" takes AND I'm not keen on having so many different calculated tables or LOOKUPVALUES just to make things feel friendly but that's where I tend to lean when my dataset has many stars or might even be considered a galaxy schema.

It's a little hard to describe but I guess I'm looking for advice on best practice where to put logic between these three. It can't be all in one of the three yet feels like that's the ideal for simplicity.

I recently was playing around with my model and migrated some of the large tables with lots of lookups and aggregates DAX to Power Query with several merges and appends needed instead yielding basically the same table but the processing went from 15ish minutes to 50 or an hour. I'm not sure if that's bad (i.e. is it using less processors but taking longer or taking longer and no longer as efficient).

Maybe I'd be better served abandoning CSV? Should I just have a moderate balance between the three methods and not favor one or the other.

Things are moving very fast right now and it looks like signing day is going to bring a huge haul to Ann Arbor. More info later as it becomes available.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

1.2. Von der Behörde zur Aktiengesellschaft

Die Deutsche Bundespost wurde 1950 als Nachfolgerin der Deutschen Reichspost gegründet und war zunächst eine Behörde.

1969 wurde dann das Unternehmen DHL gegründet, die Initialen der Nachnamen der Gründer: Adrian Dalsey, Larry Hillblom und Robert Lynn.

Im Jahr 1989 trat die erste Postreform in Kraft und die Deutsche Bundespost wurde in drei öffentliche Unternehmen aufgeteilt: Der Postdienst, die Postbank und die Telekom. Die Deutsche Bundespost behielt dabei weiterhin das Monopol der Breifbeförderung und beim Telefonnetz, mit Ausnahme des Mobilfunks. Alle anderen Dienstleistungen konnten nun auch von privaten Anbietern angeboten werden. Sowohl die politischen Kontrollmöglichkeiten als auch die Einheit der Deutschen Bundespost wurden bei dieser Reform nicht berührt.

1990 wurde mit der Wiedervereinigung auch die Deutsche Post der DDR in die Deutsche Bundespost eingegliedert. Im selben Jahr wurde Klaus Zumwinkel zum Geschäftsführer der Deutschen Bundespost ernannt.

1995 trat die zweite Postreform in Kraft. Diese sorgte dafür, dass die drei Postunternehmen in privatrechtliche Aktiengesellschaften übergeleitet werden. Für die Überwachung der Post-Dienstleistungen (Wettbewerbsrecht etc.) war zunächst weiterhin das Bundesministerium für Post und Telekommunikation zuständig, später dann die Bundesnetzagentur.

Klaus Zumwinkel übernahm weiterhin die Führung der Post und war nun Vorstandsvorsitzender der Deutschen Post AG.

Zunächst behielt der Bund alle Aktien. Im Jahr 2000 jedoch erfolgte der Börsengang und es wurden zunächst 29% der Aktien veräußert. Bis zum Juli 2005 hat der Bund alle Aktien im Rahmen von Platzhaltergeschäften an die KfW abgegeben. Diese wiederum reduzierte im Laufe der Zeit kontinuierlich ihren Anteil am Unternehmen, im Jahr 2013 lag dieser bei nur noch 21%.

Im Juli 2002 erhöhte die Deutsche Post AG ihren Anteil an DHL auf 75% und wurde damit Mehrheitseigner. Im Dezember überniahm die Deutsche Post dann auch noch die übrigen Anteile und die DHL wurde 100-prozentige Tochtergesellschaft.

Am 18. Februar 2008 legte Klaus Zumwinkel wegen des Verdachts der Steuerhinterziehung sein Amt als Vorstandsvorsitzender nieder. Zum Nachfolger wurde einstimmig und mit sofortiger Wirkung Frank Appel gewählt.

Seit 2015 tritt der Konzern unter dem Namen "Deutsche Post

MSW ist vielleicht eine Art verkappte Selbsthilfegruppe, nur dass mit Verlusten geprahlt wird, anstatt sich gegenseitig zu helfen.

Soweit, so gut.

Höre ich euch bereits rufen und teilweise mögt ihr damit Recht haben. (Edit:) Aber in letzter Zeit machte ich mir des Öfteren Gedanken, inwieweit beim Handeln der natürliche Spieltrieb des Menschen ausgenutzt wird. Neobroker wie die Handelsrepublik oder das Skalierbare Kapital nutzen auch verstärkt den natürlichen Spieltrieb des Menschen aus, wenn auch die Spielifizierung längst nicht so ausgeprägt ist, wie beispielsweise bei RobinHaube in den USA.Ich frage mich daher: Dürfen Banken/Broker unter dem Denkmantel der seriösen Finanzprodukte wirklich alles an den Mann bringen oder gibt es auch Grenzen?Um diese Frage annähernd zu beantworten folgt nun ein vereinfachter fiktiver Sachverhalt:

Der spielsüchtige A sah in einem Onlineforum, dass man mit Knock-Out-Zertifikaten binnen kurzer Zeit extrem hohe Renditen einfahren kann. Er eröffnet daraufhin ein Konto bei der H-Republik, ein Deutschland ansässiger fiktiver Online-Broker. A, der keinerlei Erfahrung mit dem Handel von Derivaten hat, gibt im Registrierungsprozess an, bereits über einige Erfahrung im Umgang mit Derivaten zu haben, er fürchtet ansonsten keinen Zugriff auf die Derivate zu haben.Wenig später zahlt A (via Kreditkarte) 1000,00€ auf sein Verrechnungskonto bei der H-Republik ein. Er sucht nach Knock-Out Zertifikaten auf den DAX und sortiert diese nach dem Hebel, natürlich in absteigender Reihenfolge. Nach kurzer Überlegung entscheidet er sich für 1000 Stk. Turbo O.End Long DAX Zertifikate mit einem Hebel von 215,32 und einem Kurs von 0,999€. Die Gesamtkosten des Handels belaufen sich auf 1000,00€. Emittent des Finanzprodukts ist ebenfalls die H-Republik.Nach rund 7 Minuten Achterbahnfahrt stellt A entsetzt fest, dass solche Hebelprodukte kein Freies-Geld-Fehler sind. Der DAX erreichte die Klopf-Aus-Schwelle und das von ihm gekaufte Finanzprodukt wurde Tage später zu 0,001€/Stk. ausgebucht, sein Verrechnungskonto weist nun einen Saldo von 1,00€.

Da ein Euro nichtmal für den Kauf eines $SEILs reicht, fragt A

Hallo miteinander! Ich habe ein Jobangebot in der Nähe meiner alten Heimat angeboten bekommen. Derzeit überlegen wir (Paar mit Kind) wieder in die Stadt unserer jeweiliger Eltern zu ziehen (da wir für den neuen Job ohnehin quer durchs Land umziehen müssen).

Vorteile liegen auf der Hand: sozialer Kreis (auch Freunde) sind vor Ort, Eltern können mit dem Nachwuchs unterstützen, Mieten sind sehr günstig. Nachteil wäre aber eine Pendelstrecke für mich (Alleinverdiener) von 90 km einfach derzeit. In etwa 6 Monaten könnte ich das Büro wechseln, dann wären es nur noch 75 km einfach. Man hat mir 2-3 Tage pro Woche HomeOffice angeboten. Ist eine Projektleiterstelle in einem DAX Konzern.

Die Strecke ist 95% wenig befahrene Autobahn. Da wir bislang kein Auto haben, stehe ich vor der Frage:

• Denkt ihr man kriegt das hin?
• Welchen Antrieb sollte man wählen?

Alternativ fährt auch im 2-Stunden-Takt ein RE mit einer Fahrdauer von 50 Minuten. Allerdings verliert man mit der Bahn halt seine Flexibilität.

Was würdet ihr tun? Danke 😁

Do your worst!

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

It really does, I swear!

They’re on standbi

Pilot on me!!

Context: Before this bit they were talking about how the media and society ignorantly divides music into cool and uncool, with pop music often landing into the "uncool" category. Dax (podcast host) then gives some examples.

Ed: I mean that's the same for me. That'll be the same for Shawn. We get that criticism. That'll be the same for...

Dax: Taylor? Does she get that?

Ed: I think she did. And I think she then reached a level of success with 1989 where people were like 'oh she can't do it again, she can't do it again'. And I think with Folklore and Evermore, it's soo back in with the cool club. She's now kind of...

Dax: Transcended all of it?

Ed: Yeahh! You can't - like, she's done it again and again and again and at a certain point you (the critics) have to just be like she's really good. Also she's just a really nice person, so that comes out. She'll do a donate to a fans thing here, and she'll do that there, and these things come out. And the media felt like they could shit on her for a bit and then eventually they're like fuck...

Dax: She won

Ed: She definitely won. I don't think there's ever a point where people can be the way they were with her.

(if there's any Ed fan out there you should check this podcast out. Really good, interesting conversations, etc. and no Equals-related promo because Ed himself didn't want to)

Nothing, he was gladiator.

Prime Resurgence

Update - Nov. 15th, 3:30 - Response for Updating Platinum

Hey Tenno!

With Prime Resurgence launching tomorrow, we wanted to answer your requests to (a) add Platinum to the packs and (b) add Accessories Packs with Platinum.

A. The reality is that for this inaugural launch we are unable at this time (right before launch) to add Platinum to the packs due to technical and compliance limitations across all Warframe’s platforms. We want to avoid doing any changes midway through the event as well, with it becoming a logistical challenge on the backend setup and unfair to the players who were early participants. While it is not possible for this first run, we have pages upon pages of feedback here that will be considered alongside the data we’ll be reviewing once the event has finished. Rest assured the importance of bonus Platinum in the value proposition is noted for next time.

B. The same reasoning from A applies to adding Accessories Packs - there is still much to consider for an event that has yet to run, but being the biggest discussed point here we know it is desired. But since we are unable to add a Pack at this point, there is no way for us to add Platinum to a pack that doesn’t exist.

We really want to stress again that this is our first attempt at running an event like this. It has been 8 years of the same Prime Access system and 7 years of Prime Vault, we aren’t reinventing the wheel but we are venturing into an entirely new way to make Prime items available in ways we’ve never attempted before. And this is why player feedback is so vital, we know what your top concerns are and will take it into consideration if we look at a future run of Prime Resurgence.

We just simply cannot commit to any major systematic changes at this time, because of the reasons listed above and because we need performance data to make educated and informed decisions if we run the event again. These may not be the answers you were hoping for, but for the sake of transparency they are the answers we have to give at this time. We also want to make a point of saying that you as a player have the freedom to participate in any form that is most comfortable to you. With far more avenues of access to free-path Primed items with Aya, you can dedicate your time to building up that Prime inventory that you’ve been dreaming of

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

When I got home, they were still there.

"The earth is only capable of supporting 5 million humans, any more is a blight upon Mother Earth. No more will patriarchy artificially control mankind and rape mother earth, we shall return to matriarchy that is in touch with our Mother Earth as the castles and fortresses of old fall. The coming death toll is mankind's punishment for the disfiguring and rape of our Mother. We are not doing this to you, you have done it to yourself. All of Nature will turn against you, for you will reap what you have sown." - Paragraph 7, Page 432 of 2641 of the electronically transmitted and physical paper delivered Extinction Agenda Attack Manifesto

The plant-life rustled and shifted in the night. The moon, scarred now and marked with sparkling rippling pools of greenish-white light, stared down at the earth below. The Man in the Moon was scarred, almost unrecognizable, forever marked by the Mantid Attack.

There was a sharp crack as roots managed to snap away another thick slab of atomsite. The pressure changes made the cracked and rippled plain of greenish blue atomsite glass 'sing' in the night. High pitches squeals and squeaks, bass rumblings, and sharp cracks as the eighty mile wide glass settled and popped.

Less than a minute afterwards there was a rumble and the ground shook for nearly five seconds.

The earthquake had more to do with the aftershocks of the planetary bombardment than it did with the pressures in the glass equalizing, but the coincidence was often enough that many survivors equated correlation with causation.

The figure sitting on the upthrust chunk of atomsite, known to most as Lossglass, barely moved, riding out the rumble with the skill of long practice. He, and it was obviously a he, was one of those men who was made large by bone, sinew, and muscle. He was dressed in thick denim pants, a light t-shirt, a sportsball cap, and heavy military boots, a wedding ring on one finger, the ring and the finger both scarred and dented.

He was facing the jungle, staring across the twenty paces of broken up sand where the moss and fungus was hidden. Where hardy grasses peeked up from between the broken shards of glass. One hand was cupping his chin, the elbow on his
