Many ask themselves, “Why would I use a semantic layer? What is it anyway?” In this hands-on guide, we’ll build the simplest possible semantic layer using just a YAML file and a Python script—not as the goal itself, but as a way to understand the value of semantic layers. We’ll then query 20 million NYC taxi records with consistent business metrics executed using DuckDB and Ibis. By the end, you’ll know exactly when a semantic layer solves real problems and when it’s overkill.| Data Engineering Blog

We want CI/CD to inject the production connection string into a .NET Framework app.config during deployment. In source control, we only want test/staging DB connection strings. Developers should still be able to debug locally with test/staging DBs. At deployment, the CI/CD pipeline should replace the connection string with the production one (stored in GitHub Secrets). Question: What’s the recommended way to update or override app.config connection strings in a GitHub Actions workflow for a...| Recent Questions - Software Engineering Stack Exchange

A simple typo of ghcr.io to ghrc.io would normally be a small goof. You’d typically get a 404 or similar error, finally work out the issue, fix it, and move along. But in this case, that typo appears to be doing something very malicious, stealing GitHub credentials. What’s ghcr.io? First, a quick bit of background. ghcr.io is an OCI conformant registry for container images and OCI artifacts used by a lot of projects. It’s part of GitHub and is a very popular image and artifact repositor...| Brandon Mitchell
