Speaker are impressive, looking forward to hear from them, chance to see in person a bunch of GitHub/Discord handles / talk DuckDB a bunch. I will be around, come to say quack! 1144

blef.fr @blef.fr · 01/12/2024why are we so addicted to 3 letters when it comes to naming stuff? This week it's MCP 000
blef.fr @blef.fr · 30/11/2024this is the exact wrap-up of the situation, but when taking a step back, imho, what we are trying to replicate with Iceberg is just what comes natively with DuckDB, so sometimes I'm like, why do we do this to ourselves 000
blef.fr @blef.fr · 29/11/2024I see DuckDB as a format yes, either standard either just metadata. DuckDB removes the need for a specific catalog, you have it embedded directly with it 100
blef.fr @blef.fr · 28/11/2024that's fun you're saying this, I tend disagree, I think we can't do both because they are fundamentally different imho, I don't buy the overcomplexity of having many formats over the simplicity of picking only one tho, I like what you're building I have to write more on this, but for later 200
blef.fr @blef.fr · 26/11/2024god i feel empty, no conference to organise anymore 🥹 yesterday was a crazy day after 6 months of work for the Forward Data Conference — so happy of the feedbacks and how it went 1100

blef.fr @blef.fr · 24/11/2024More than one year ago I dreamt about organizing an in-person conference about data, for data practitioners in France. Tomorrow 350 people will come to attend the first Forward Data in Paris with awesome guests like @hannes.muehleisen.org, @joereis.bsky.social or @jayatillake.bsky.social 🥹 4283
blef.fr @blef.fr · 23/11/2024I also submitted something about how the analytics engineering developper could be improved 🥹 - maybe we see each other next year! 000

blef.fr @blef.fr · 19/11/2024Should we have a KPI as a data team about the coverage of data assets that are governed with code? 010
blef.fr @blef.fr · 18/11/2024I answered with a few lines of code, still answering in a thread is a bit more complex 🙃 regarding gathering the correct cid and uri. gist.github.com/Bl3f/cf13971... 130
blef.fr @blef.fr · 17/11/2024Oh @jakthom.bsky.social did it! bluesky data lands on R2, with ~5m latency, partitioned per hour 030
blef.fr @blef.fr · 17/11/2024Everyone is playing with Bluesky firehose right now, is someone dropping it in a s3 bucket somewhere (or in a BigQuery public dataset?) I started to work on this, but got lost in all experiments people are doing 020
blef.fr @blef.fr · 17/11/2024Yeah you're right, it's hard to really get a sense of GCP product team vision 🙃 As you said you have a composer tag in BigQuery so you don't context switch, but still to bridge the gap between a DAG and the SQL this is big... 000

blef.fr @blef.fr · 17/11/2024It's will be possible to orchestrate Airflow DAGs directly from BigQuery. Orchestrating means: viewing and triggering.

blef.fr @blef.fr · 15/11/2024Please just stop saying "just". It happens that incrementally we all added a few words in our daily discussion like "just", "simple", "clean", etc. I loved this blog about the word "just" that should be avoided at max. sgringwe.com/2019/10/10/P...sgringwe.comPlease just stop saying "just"Do you work in Software Engineering, and have you seen messages or sentences like these before? 100
blef.fr @blef.fr · 14/11/2024Snowflake Notebooks are available in GA — still trying to bridge the feature gap with Databricks. It's interesting to see that they released a lot of ipynb Notebooks in the open: github.com/Snowflake-La.... With Iceberg and interoperability everywhere, less diffs will mean an unique winner? 2130
blef.fr @blef.fr · 14/11/2024That's something you can do to some extent in BigQuery with BigFunctions (cf. unytics.io/bigfunctions...) — Personally I did similar things it with foreign data wrappers with DuckDB, for light pipelines it's so smooth 130
