I think the governance stuff might push it over the top for a lot of organisations; it's pretty well integrated with IAM providers not only for structured/modelled data but also workspaces for the data sciencey stuff. Pretty much everything has permissions associated with it. When you have a big data engineering/science push off the back of the AI hype I think it appeals to the cheque writers to have something centralised and controlled.
Aside from that I do get the feeling that most small and medium sized companies have been oversold on it - they don't really have enough data to leverage a lot of the features and they don't really have the skill a lot of the time to avoid shooting themselves in the foot. It's possible for a reporting analyst upskilling to learn the programming skill to not create a tangled web of christmas lights but not probable in most situations. There seems to be a whole cottage industry of consultancies now that purport to get you up and running with limited actual success.
At least it's an incentive for companies to get their data in order and standardise on one place and a set of processes.
In terms of actual development the notebook IDE feels like big old turd to use tho and it feels slow in general if you're at all used to local dev. People do kinda like these web based tools tho. Can't trust people all the time! There's VS code and PyCharm extensions but my team work mainly with notebooks at the moment for good or ill and the experience there is absolute flaky dogshit.
I think it's possible to make some good stuff with it and it's paying my bills at the moment, but I think a lot of the adoption may be doomed to failure lol
You know, I did kind of think that until I sat down to use it and realised compared to MS office it’s like a glass of ice water in hell.
I do actually think on Mac if you just use the minimal toolbar buttons and the menu bar buttons it looks pretty presentable. Not good but not the worst. And on Linux/GTK it actually looks super nice
Many gyms let you rent lockers by the month, so you can store your gym bag there and be able to drop by without necessarily having planned on it when you left home. Can’t do that if you have to carry a wristband around to get in.
Yeah I’m interested in this as well. There’s something about the way time machine works over SMB that is absolutely unfashionably dog-slow. I suspect SMB performance on mac is just not very good in general tbf
I'm from Kerala and I've been to North America. The 'communism' here isn't what the Americans think it is. You can consider it as socialist liberalism at best. Communism in its revolutionary form did exist at a time when social inequality and injustice was very rampant. Now it's a political movement under India's democracy.
