Hiked along the slope of the Eastern Mountains of Kyōto (東山), first up to the little-known Himukai Daijingū (日向大神宮), a little Shintō shrine whose grandiose name borrows from the ancient and most-revered Ise Jingū after which its architecture is modeled. Then to the iconic Zen Buddhist temple Nanzenji (南禅寺), and along Philosophy Road (哲学の道) to the Silver Pavilion Ginkakuji (銀閣寺). Then as now there was a shortage of silver, even to the Ashikaga Shōguns, so the pavilion was never gilded, but with its similarlity to the Golden Pavilion Kinkakuji and topped by a phoenix, it is nevertheless charming. Sakura cherry blossoms at their best all along the way, with other spring flowers like magnolia and early-blossoming purple azaleas, made for a long and aesthetically pleasing hike.

This very beautiful door was designed by the Italian architect Pietro Fenoglio in 1907. The residents of Turin have nicknamed this door the “Pomegranate Gate”. The facade is wrought iron, and upon inspection, you can see two pomegranate trees, bursting with fruit and alive with color. A true gem of #ArtNouveau design.

Theatre DeVille

The Theatre DeVille is a nightclub in Vacaville, California. The venue went through a major renovation where the new owners sunk a large amount of money into a state of the art sound system.
The building located has been occupied by a number of tenants including a theatre and a church just to name a few. The renovation to it's new form took a good part of a year.

Theatre DeVille Captured in downtown Vacaville, California, this is the Theatre DeVille. Remodeled in a art deco style the building stands out proudly on Main Street. The bottom of the image is the marquee of the building. The name of the theatre sits prominently front center of the marquee. The building is painted in various shades of gray and black. The sign has been given a slight yellowish tint to give it an aged look. On top of the marquee is a large replica of an old antique style microphone. There are three windows, one of which is blocked by the microphone. The windows are tall and narrow with an arch at the top.

Attended an event Brewing Data with Snowflake yesterday in Vilnius :blobcatnerd:

Some of they key insights:

  • Medallion Architecture (good or bad) is widespread.
  • Snowflake and Databricks are clear competitors, targeting similar landscape.
  • Open formats are trending: file format, table format, catalog, etc. - the more of them are open source, the better.
  • Time travel feature is important, many users already used it for disaster recovery.
  • Clear distinction of Storage from Compute (generic cloud approach).

Full text of one of the slides presented:

Strategic Architecture Outlook

  • Agility & Future-Proofing - Open, portable data means you can adopt new technologies or switch platforms with minimal friction. No single vendor can hold your data hostage, so you can evolve vour architecture as needed.
  • Multi-Cloud and Hybrid - An open data layer can span clouds and on-prem seamlessly. You avoid cloud vendor lock-in and leverage best-of-breed services on different clouds using the same data. This flexibility is key for resilience and optimization.
  • Accelerating Innovation - When any team can access data with the tools of their choice, experimentation flourishes. Open data fosters Al/ML and cross-domain analytics since data isn't locked in silos - more innovation and insights from the same data.
  • Vendor Leverage - Strategically, using open standards increases your leverage in vendor negotiations. You car opt in or out of services more freely, pushing vendors to provide value (since you're not irreversibly locked to them).
