Is Data Modeling Dead?

Ok, not going to lie, I rarely find anything of value in the dregs of r/dataengineering, mostly I fear, because it’s %90 freshers with little to no experience. These green behind the ear know-it-all engineers who’ve never written a line of Perl, SSH’d into a server, and have no idea what a LAMP stack is. Weak. Sad. We used to program our way to glory, up hill both ways in the snow. All you do is script kiddy some Python code through Cursor. A recent post on Data Modeling, specifically that dat

Should we drain the Everglades?

Lake Okeechobee, the largest lake in Florida, has an average depth of only nine feet (2.7 meters). Oh, and it has 30,000 alligators, but try not to think about that. Dough4872 , CC BY-SA 4.0 , via Wikimedia Commons I can’t explain why this bothers me so much, but something about it being so big and yet so shallow just creeps me out. I find it unsettling, okay? Mentally, it makes me feel like noodles, if that makes sense. It’s the eighth-largest (freshwater) lake in the country but I’ve swam i

Scuba-Suit-Clad Thief Steals Thousands of Dollars From Floating Disney World Restaurant in Heist Ripped Right Out of the Movies

When we hear of criminal activity at Walt Disney World, it’s not usually pertaining to an action sequence that feels like it’s come right out of a Disney movie itself. But that was apparently the case this week in Orlando, when over $10,000 was stolen from a Disney World restaurant by a scuba-diving criminal mastermind. WFTV9 (via Cinemablend) reports that in the early hours of today, an unidentified man staged a robbery at the Paddlefish seafood restaurant in Disney Springs, a shopping and din

As the Great Salt Lake Shrinks, Something Unexpected Is Rising to the Surface

The Great Salt Lake once reached depths of up to 1,000 feet and spanned roughly 20,000 square miles, but today, it mostly resembles a parched wasteland. So, when signs of life suddenly began popping up across the drying playa, scientists were perplexed. In the last several years, reed-covered mounds have appeared off the lake’s southeast shore. These densely vegetated oases must receive enough freshwater to sustain plant life, but experts weren’t sure where this resource was coming from. Resear

Judge denies Meta’s request to dismiss sexual harassment lawsuit filed by early employee

A judge has denied Meta’s request to dismiss a lawsuit brought against it by early employee Kelly Stonelake. U.S. District Judge Barbara Rothstein, who is overseeing the case, ruled this month that parts of Stonelake’s suit had merit, and the case will move forward. “I hope this ruling encourages others who have experienced discrimination and toxic workplace cultures to consider the courts as one way to push for justice and accountability,” Stonelake said in a statement given to TechCrunch.

Angle brackets in a Nix flake world

At DEFCON33, the Nix community had its first-ever presence via nix.vegas and I ended up in fun conversation with tomberek 🙌. “What fun things can we do with < and > with the eventual deprecation of NIX_PATH ? The actual 💡 was from tomberek and this is a demonstration of what that might look like without necessitating any changes to CppNix itself. As a very worthwhile aside, the first time presence of the Nix community at DEFCON was fantastic and I am extra appreciative to numinit and RossComp

Nova Lake architecture breaks from Intel tradition with Family 18 ID

In a nutshell: The official debut of Nova Lake, Intel's powerful new architecture for next-generation consumer PCs, is approaching quickly. According to raw code submitted to the Linux kernel, the new processors will represent a significant departure from Intel's past, both in terms of silicon technology and naming conventions. Intel engineers recently submitted a few lines of code that contain a major change to the company's long-standing CPU identification scheme. The patch defines two new CP

Familiar specs, new name: Intel's Core 5 120 processors enter the market

What just happened? Intel has quietly introduced the Core 5 120 and Core 5 120F processors, modest additions to its budget desktop lineup at a time when industry focus is shifting toward next-gen architectures. The low-key launch was first spotted by hardware leaker @momomo_us, suggesting Intel is still actively refreshing its product stack – even as it looks to phase out older silicon. The Core 5 120 doesn't break new ground but instead traces its lineage directly to Intel's older Alder Lake a

‘Crystal Lake’ Casts a Familiar Horror Face as Little Jason Voorhees

Horror fans are excitedly awaiting Peacock’s Friday the 13th prequel series Crystal Lake—and now we know who’ll be playing the younger version of Jason Voorhees. Long before he decided a hockey mask and machete were an ideal killing-spree combo, and even before he drowned at summer camp, he was just a little kid with an eccentric mother. Presumably. We don’t know too many details about the show yet, but we know Linda Cardellini is playing Pamela Voorhees—and now we know Callum Vinson is Jason.

AMD Ryzen CPUs continue to crush Intel processors on Amazon best-seller list

In brief: AMD dominated socketed CPU sales on Amazon's US site in March, and the picture doesn't seem to have changed a few months later. Intel's new Core Ultra 200 series chips struggled to climb the retailer's rankings back then and have since almost completely disappeared. Intel CPUs have been completely shut out of Amazon's top 10 best sellers as of late June. While AMD's Zen 3, 4, and 5 chips occupy most of the top 50 spots, Team Blue's latest lineup remains under the shadow of its predece

HPE's GreenLake intelligence brings agentic AI to IT operations

In case you haven't heard, GenAI is old news. Now, it's all about agentic AI. At least, that certainly seems to be the theme based on the latest announcements from the major tech industry vendors. All of them are focused on driving the story of more autonomous actions enabled by AI. That said, there's still a tremendous amount of activity and advancement happening in the "traditional" era of generative AI – particularly around integrating the technology into businesses and their internal IT ope

California’s Salton Sea Is Emitting Way More Toxic Gas Than We Thought

California’s largest and most-polluted lake, the Salton Sea, is exuding hydrogen sulfide, a noxious gas, at rates that greatly exceed the state’s air quality standards. Alarmingly, a new study finds that California’s air quality monitoring systems may be severely underestimating how much toxic pollution is reaching people living near the lake. Hydrogen sulfide, which smells like rotten eggs, is linked to a host of respiratory and neurological symptoms. The new study, published in the journal Ge
