Hey, What's Going On! (lemmy.world)

So I am now reading up and studying what makes a good moderator. There will probably be changes as I learn. One thing I would like to do for now to encourage engagement and make everyone comfortable is to have the "Hey, what's going on!" Post. This is a daily post for "casual" conversation. If you want to post or talk about something non autism related this is where to do it. For example if you want to info dump about your special interest but it doesn't fall into "autism related" then you can post it here in the comments. All other rules still active, be respectful to each other.

Just trying to relearn pyspark syntax at work. It's one of those things I've let slip in the last couple of years as my work volume has been a little overwhelming.

[–] Lexam@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

What is pyspark syntax? What is it used for?

If you need help moderating or creating engagement I can help. I mod a few different communities around here.

Thanks! I'm going to go solo at the moment. If the traffic starts to increase I'll begin reaching out for assistance.

Some pictures I took today. Not sure what order they are posted in until I click Post. One is a basement in a old building, another is of a cold field about an hour and a half away from the basement. And there were Moos that came with the field.
