Beautiful is better than ugly, and done is better than perfect; in that order.

@jamesdensmore Enjoying your book on data pipelines. Thanks! Particularly interested in chapter 8 on data validation, so providing a couple of ideas/comments here

When comparing row counts against historical counts, I find it unnecessary to use window function. It computes difference between every two subsequent days while only one comparison is really needed for the last day. It's subjective, but I find using a self-join easier to read
we implemented a similar framework for validation based on SQL. We opted to use one SQL script that returns True/False instead of two scripts. I don't think this makes it less/more expressive but allows using more built-in SQL comparisons operators
Hi @JeffBezos I hope your well...

If we can only have 6 people in our houses, how can we have 30 children in a classroom? It’s a reasonable question. But it’s not a contradiction; in fact, these measures are connected and coherent. The following explanation is a simplification, but illustrates the principle. 1/8

If #OpenRefine team could introduce only 1 of these which would you want? Better Automation for transformation workflows to re-apply workflow sequences or parts of them. Allow Online Collaboration by having private hosted online multi-user instances of OpenRefine.

Different people have different strengths. So requiring everyone to respond in the same way to a problem means that you care more about orthodoxy than fixing the problem.

As Ireland begins to open up tomorrow after many months, let’s remember that many independent retailers are facing uncertain futures. They haven’t done this before, it’s all new territory. Plastering their ‘mistakes’ on social media to garner likes isn’t helpful. Be sound 💚

The Game Changer. In this little piece of precious cargo extraction and amplification occurs on board. And gives a result in 50mins. Incredibly expensive at €50 a test so labs still need to batch test for the most part.Validated today as part of HSE collaborative validation. 👌

Using the phrase "without any further ado" is literally just further ado.
