Kedro New

https://youtu.be/uqiv5LAiJe0 Kedro new is simply a wrapper around the cookiecutter templating library. The kedro team maintains a ready made template that has everything you need for a kedro project. They also maintain a few kedro starters, which are very similar to the base template. What is Kedro Unsure what kedro is, Check out yesterdays post on What is Kedro. pipx # I reccomend using when running kedro new. is designed for system level cli tools so that you do not need to maintain a virtual environment or worry about version conflicts, manages the environment for you. The kedro team does not reccomend in their docs as they already feel like there is a bit of a tool overload for folks that may be less familiar with I like using as it gives you better control over using a specific version or always the latest version, unlike when you run what you have on your system depends on when you last installed or upgraded.

It can also include a bunch of system information like battery status, cpu, mem, whatever you can get from the command line.

If your diligent you have named your window when you created it, but sometimes its intent has changed or your were just plain too lazy at the time for the extra characters needed to name it. Don’t worry we can still give that session a descriptive name. Let’s rename some sessions in the terminal.

tmux zoom

https://youtu.be/Rn6mOarCQ-Y Zooming into the current split in tmux is a valuable tool to give yourself some screen real estate. These days I am almost always presenting, streaming, or pairing up with a co-worker over a video call. Since I am always sharing my screen I am generally zoomed in to a level that is just a bit uncomfortable, so anytime I make a split it is really uncomfortable, being able to zoom into the split I am focused on is a big help, and also help anyone watching follow where I am currently working. Default key bindings for zooming the current split I have rebound this to match the default binding with mod+z rather so that I get that single keystroke experience.

tmux new-window

https://youtu.be/YRPZBv-iYyE New window as it sounds makes new windows in tmux. Windows are kind of like tabs. They are another screen within your sessions that you can name and make new panes in. Default key bindings for creating and navigating windows in tmux. As always I have rebound these keys because I generally prefer a single keystroke over the prefix plus keybinding approach that tmux gives by default. When I started using tmux I did almost everything in one giant session with many panes and windows. It became a nightmare to manage and quickly get between two sets work efficiently. This year I leaned in on sessions quite heavily. Checkout this 👇 post to see that workflow in depth. How I navigate tmux in 2021 for more information on how I navigate tmux, check out this full post

I set the keybinding to the same as my split navigation bindings but shifted. They are very vim like (h,j,k,l). Most often when I need to resize panes I just grab the edge of the pane with my mouse.

tmux prefix

https://youtu.be/BMkpbfhbkKM The prefix key is an essential part of tmux, by default all of tmux’s key-bindings sit behind a prefix. This prefix is very similar to vim’s leader key.

Incremental Versioned Datasets in Kedro

Kedro versioned datasets can be mixed with incremental and partitioned datasets to do some timeseries analysis on how our dataset changes over time. Kedro is a very extensible and composible framework, that allows us to build solutions from the individual components that it provides. This article is a great example of how you can combine these components in unique ways to achieve some powerful results with very little work. What is Kedro 👆 Unsure what kedro is? Check out this post. How does our dataset change over time?? # This was a question presented to me at work. We had some plots being produces as the output of our pipeline and the user wanted the ability to compare results over time. Luckily this was asked early in the project so we were able to proactively setup versioning on the right datasets. To enable this all we needed to do now was to add and we will be able to compare results over time. Yes kedro makes it that easy to setup. set up a project # Set up a new project just as…
