I see what you did there :-)
But also, good point on the fact that every team should think about data pipelines when designing their own services.

Databrics, so hot right now. https://youtu.be/CV_hDyfmEw4?si=tXp-FkXi15nGhluR

Also, all of those em dashes.
jackdbd
Nice catch! I like to use em dashes, but in that post there were simply too many.
jackdbd
Sick moves man!

Nice! I think I have a similar setup: Rollerblade Maxxum XT + Sago 90 UFS + UFS adapter. 90mm wheels are so much fun.

Maybe you could use Babashka to write a CLI tool that calls REST APIs and kubectl.
jackdbd
Absolutely. It doesn't make sense to use Cloud Run if you need to keep the CPU always allocated. It will cost you at least 50 USD a month. For half the price you can get a VPS with 4 GB of RAM.
jackdbd
Yeah, on Cloud Run for SSE or WebSockets I would need to keep the CPU always allocated, which defeats the purpose of using a serverless platform.
Does the state have to stay on the application server? Can you store it on Redis as it's done here (and leave the server stateless) or on something like Durable Storage?
jackdbd
Where is the app hosted? I'm asking this because I tried SSE on Cloud Run, but the connection wasn't reliable at all. Also, on some other platforms you have a limited amount of time to respond to the client, otherwise the connection gets dropped (e.g. on Cloudflare Workers you need to send a response within 50ms).

TL;DR: don't do it. The problem with BME is that it's too broad.
Instead, try to pin down exactly what you want to do, and get a degree that will give you the best expertise in that field. Go for depth, not breadth. For example:
- medical devices: electrical engineering
- diagnostics: physics, maybe electrical engineering
- digital health platforms: CS
- design prosthetic implants: mechanical engineering
A BME syllabus can vary A LOT across universities (and even in the same university), but in the end you will be either:
- a mix between a mechanical engineer and a chemical engineer (that knows less of mechanical engineering and chemical engineering) with some background in medicine and biology.
- an electrical engineer with some data analysis and computer science knowledge (e.g. bioinformatics, computational biology).
- a mix between a medical device technician and a healthcare equipment manager.
Don't get me wrong, BME is a cool degree. But in my opinion it should exist only as a MSc that you can attend only after a BSc in either chemical engineering or electrical engineering.
Source: I have a BSc and MSc in biomedical engineering (Pisa, Italy), and also a "mini degree" in clinical engineering (Florence, Italy). I couldn't find a job related to BME, so I taught myself R and Python, and got a job in data analysis first, and in software development soon after. Many of my classmates struggled as well, and they either found a job in unrelated fields, sometimes even after a PhD, or had to accept a low wage and no job security for years.
Feel free to DM me if you want additional info.

An EOR is a company based in country A (e.g. Germany) that hires a person living in country A, for a company that is based in country B (e.g. UK). Person works for company B, but payroll, taxes, benefits, time off, sick leave, etc are handled by company A.
Deel, Oyster, Remote.com are EORs.

Try Clojure. It has a small but growing data science community. Here are a couple of links you might find useful:

I think you can just create a factory function that returns an object that implements the ILifecycle interface. But I have never tried this library, so I'm not 100% sure about that.
jackdbd
Probably this one (Karsten ported to TS a lot of functions/libraries that are available in CLJS):
https://github.com/thi-ng/umbrella/tree/develop/packages/system
I think you can make this comparison:
- TS interface `ILifecycle` => Clojure `defprotocol`
- TS function `defSystem` => Clojure `defrecord`

Just wait until Elon finds out that MongoDB is web scale.

I also recommend using Babashka for a CLI. In fact I developed this small CLI a few months ago.
jackdbd
Oh, nice tip about :org.babashka/cli metadata. I haven't thought about it.

His course on core.async on Udemy is really great. Here is the link for anyone who might be interested: https://www.udemy.com/course/communicating-sequential-processes-with-coreasync/

On GCP, you can provision a VM on Compute Engine and let the recommender tell you if it's suited to your workload. I pay ~5 USD for a e2-micro Debian VM that I use for development/experiments. There is PostegreSQL on it, but at the moment I use it only to store a few RSS feeds.
Dahshat Company has Kum (ava 4), Motorized bounty hunters (ava 2) and 112 emergency service (ava 1). Also, Dahshat is a mercenary company and Kum riders are literally a biker gang.
However, both Kum riders and Motorized bounty hunters are irregulars, so I don't think going full AVA will make the list very competitive or fun to play. I guess you could try using coordinate orders to move all those 4 Kum riders with a single regular order though...
