Is there a good Python widget for visually comparing two data frames for differences? I'm looking for something like vdiffr or something. #dataBS #python

So I tried to combine Snowflake, Iceberg and Azure. It was as frustrating as it sounds, but I'm sure it will eventually work and be useful some day 😅 Did anyone at #databs succeed on this?

Since I’m somewhat in a unique position, a short thread why automating Wikipedia is not at all within reach. Key immediate issue: source relevancy. Not every piece of information is worth it.

This is super exciting! I've been hanging out for a modern uplift to BERT models that have larger context windows. 512 tokens is pretty limiting for a number of use cases I've had. Have yet to dig in, but it looks like awesome work! #MLSky #DataBS #NLP

#DataBS #Python #MacOS: What are your go to apps for doing data work and development? I gifted myself a MacBook and I’m coming off of Windows 10. I’m familiar with common IDEs and cli tools like DuckDB, but not sure what I might be missing. Also looking for good mouse and CLI setup suggestions.

Got a question for #dataBS: Anyone ever survived a data migration with a story to tell—the good, the bad, or the "we’ll laugh about this someday"? I’m writing a technical piece and I’d love to hear your wins, cautionary tales, and hard-earned lessons. Please DM if you're keen!

Just finished the github release for 0.3 of my GeoParquet downloader plugin. It's got an installation improvement to automatically download/install DuckDB. But I'm not sure if it works well - could someone here test? Just install the zip download from github.com/cholmes/qgis... on a clean qgis.
