• Discussion Thread

  Contact your representative and two senators using Resistbot, Democracy.io, or manually. And ask other people to do so as well. Sure, it’s minuscule, but that’s the main tool we’ve got afaik. Source: 6 months ago

• Yesterday, I took some flak for posting a thread encouraging people to call and email Ohio legislators. Many said "what's the point?" This is the point. Ultimately, they work for us, whether they like it or not. Don't underestimate your voice and the power of even the smallest action.

  I discovered Resistbot a few years ago and have since contacted government representatives hundreds of times - it makes the process so easy. I do it through Facebook messenger. There's also a "trending" feature where I can see the hot topics of the day in between major events like the issue 2 votes. Source: 6 months ago

  There are 43 comments so far. I was expecting thousands of comments. Comments can be with your name, company name, or anonymous.

  Then in the "foldername" you can have 5 folders, each one for each of the groups. This means that when group1 enters looker.com, his default page will be the "foldername", which contains group1folder (he cannot see the rest of the folders if you have set the permissions correctly for each folder).

• Stars, tables, and activities: How do we model the real world?

  Even if you want to make Wide Tables, combining fact and dimensions is often the easiest way to create them, so why not make them available? Looker, for example, is well suited to dimensional models because it takes care of the joins that can make Kimball warehouses hard to navigate for business users. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• dbt for Data Quality Testing & Alerting at FINN

  We take daily snapshots of test results, aggregate them, and send Looker dashboards to the appropriate teams. - Source: dev.to / about 2 years ago

• I'm a dev ID 10 T please help me

• The Data Stack Journey: Lessons from Architecting Stacks at Heroku and Mattermost

  For Growth and larger, I would recommend Looker. The only reason I wouldn't recommend it for the smaller company stages is that the cost is much higher than alternatives such as Metabase. With Looker, you define your data model in LookML, which Looker then uses to provide a drag-and-drop interface for end-users that enables them to build their own visualizations without needing to write SQL.
