Event Stream Processing: Powering the Next Evolution in Market Research.

What is Event Stream Processing?

At its core, Event Stream Processing is the technology that allows you to process and analyze data in motion. Unlike traditional batch processing, ESP enables organizations to ingest, filter, enrich, and analyze live data streams—in milliseconds. Technologies like Apache Kafka, Apache Flink, Spark Streaming, and proprietary platforms like Confluent and Azure Stream Analytics are powering this real-time revolution.

🌍 Overview of the Event Stream Processing Market

According to recent industry reports:

The global ESP market is projected to grow from $800M in 2022 to nearly $5.7B by 2032, with a CAGR exceeding 20%.

The drivers include growth in IoT devices, real-time analytics demand, AI/ML integration, and cloud-native infrastructure.

ESP is already being adopted in industries like finance, retail, telecom, and increasingly, in data-driven research sectors.

So how does this affect market research?

🧠 How ESP is Reshaping Market Research

The market research industry is undergoing a paradigm shift—from long cycles of surveys and focus groups to continuous consumer intelligence. ESP offers the foundation to make this real-time, automated, and infinitely scalable.

1. Always-On Consumer Listening

Traditional market research works in waves. ESP enables constant monitoring of consumer conversations, behaviors, and sentiments across social media, websites, mobile apps, and even connected devices.

2. Real-Time Behavioral Segmentation

Instead of waiting for post-campaign analysis, ESP enables dynamic audience segmentation based on live behavior. Imagine updating customer personas on the fly as users interact with a product or ad in real time.

3. Instant Trend Detection

With ESP, market researchers can spot emerging trends, spikes in brand mentions, or negative sentiment as it happens, giving companies the edge to react and innovate faster.

4. Improved Campaign Feedback Loops

By streaming campaign data into ESP systems, researchers can assess performance metrics like engagement, bounce rates, or purchase behavior in real time—enabling agile marketing and live optimization.

5. Enriching Traditional Research

Even classic survey research can be elevated. ESP can feed in contextual data (e.g., weather, location, digital footprint) to enhance response interpretation and modeling accuracy.

Book Buddies II (Link x Reader)

(a/n) hello! here is the second chapter of Book Buddies! if you haven't read the first chapter, please click here. i hope you enjoy!

cw: afab!reader, researcher!reader, a nice day out w link :), crowded places, escaping to nature, gentle looks and touches exchanged under the moon, first kiss vibes <3, quickly followed by a steamy makeout session heh

wc: 3.8k

♤♢ ~~ ♡♧

Since that eventful night, Link at the library had grown to become an increasingly common sight. It was like clockwork, really. Sometime after lunch, you can expect to see a mat of blonde poke through the door followed by a pair of bright eyes that would smile when it met yours.

He'd often come by to return a book he had loaned and ask for more recommendations (which you happily supplied). Within a matter of months, the bookish Captain had worked through most of your list and had even shown you some goodies to read. It warmed your heart having a lil' book buddy; you couldn't remember the last time someone was able to keep up with your... fiery discussions of things that have occurred in your books.

Three knocks rapt your door. Your eyes slit open, wincing immediately at the stream of light conveniently placed right on your face. What time was it...?

"Y... Yes? Who is it?" You yawned through your fingers, clawing uselessly at that one itch just out of reach on your back.

"It's Link."

Your senses snapped awake and your head swiveled to your mirror, which proudly displayed the ornate bird's nest growing on the side of your head. You fumbled out of bed, hissed at the cold the wooden floor shot through your feet, and drowsily waddled to your dresser.

"J-Just a second!" You croaked, wincing at your dry throat. One swig of water later, you were combing your hair and slipping on a shirt that was at least better than what you went to bed with. One last look in the mirror and you clicked the thick door open, careful of not slamming it right in your visitor's face.

"Link? What are you doing this early in the morning? I'm trying to sleep..." You whined. All drowsy discomforts took a backseat when you saw the grave expression painted on his face.

"Her Highness told me that I am to be deployed soon..." He trailed off, brows furrowing deeper. "I'm afraid I can't give more details past that."

This wasn't a total surprise, given his occupation and everything, but it was still... numbing to hear. His words bounced around your head as you began to process what that would mean for the two of you. Your world wasn't crashing and burning, sure, but it wouldn't be inaccurate to say that some of the vibrant colors Link injected into your life have begun to drain out. In the end, all you could muster was a quiet,

"... Oh."

"So... Since we may not see each other for a while, would you like to..." He swallowed thickly. "GotoCastleTownwithme?"

"Would I... huh?" You blinked, rubbing your eyes as if that would help you hear better. "I'm sorry, can you say that again?"

He froze, silently recalculating what the odds were of you saying yes, but knowing you wouldn't settle for silence he tried again.

"Would you... Like to go to Castle Town with me?"

Being asked out on a date first thing in the morning was not what you expected when you tumbled out of bed.

By the Captain no less.

You had dreamt of this moment for months and it took every fiber of your being to channel your inner fangirling into a calm, graceful smile. But the moment he left, you knew you were due for a good ol' cathartic scream into your pillow.

"I would love to."

♤♢ ~~ ♡♧

The moment training had wrapped up for the day, he bolted to the gates, giddy to finally have this time with you. He wouldn't admit it aloud, but he had been aching to take you out for a pleasant stroll through town, going through the market's different stalls and showing you his favorite spots to relax. He's not blind to the effects work has on your body and psyche, and he hoped that your stresses could be washed away with these safe spaces the same way it cleansed him.

A flash of (H/C) in a crowd of similarly-dressed scholars bagged his attention and his eyes flitted this way and that. His heart soared seeing your demure figure moving down the steps of Hyrule Castle and one look at him almost got you running.

You waved goodbye to your coworkers and with a hop, skip, and a step, graced your man companion with your presence.

"Hey! Thanks for meeting up with me. Have you been waiting long?"

He shook his head.

"Perfect! Well, ready to go?"

He patted his rupee pouch and gave you a thumbs up. You giggled and waited for the iron gates to be heaved open.

Before long, you were traipsing down the streets of Castle Town, positively glowing. He was just happy to be present with you. He would listen to your latest findings with great interest, listen to whatever book you happened to get your hands on, listen to all your ramblings and random intrusive thoughts you had, and just... Listen. He wasn't much of a talker and you've made it exceptionally clear to him that he could stop you at any point, but he preferred to just listen.

"--and after that, she intentionally rammed her wagon into a tree! Y'know, that was the first time I ever read a book like that. I highly recommend it."

He hummed, his eyes shining like they had just captured heaven's highest stars.

"I've heard," he began slowly, his voice still not used to all the talking he's had to do recently, "from the mill ladies that your friend's favorite author is set to complete her next book in a month or two."

His wriggling eyebrows were immediately met with a jab to the ribs.

"Woah, really?!" A spark of excitement in your eyes lightly contrasted the playful grimace splaying on the Captain's features. "That's--! Um, ahem. I'm sure she'd be very pleased to hear that. I'll let her know... later."

He rolled his eyes and huffed; you laughed, reaching up and messing with his hair. You didn't notice the way he froze or the way he all but stopped breathing, and you definitely didn't notice the heat blooming all throughout his body while your attention was nabbed elsewhere.

"Oh! Can we look at that stall real quick?"

A faint nod and you were already bounding towards an ornately decorated sign that read "Jeweler."

"Hello, hello! Welcome to my humble little shop!" You eyed the... eclectic decor curiously and made a polite smile to the merchant. "Has anything caught your fancy? Everything you see here was painstakingly, artfully crafted by the finest jewelers in all of Hyrule! Some of my own personal works have made their way into this collection, heh..."

You half-listened to the merchant as he droned on and on about how he incurred every item you see before you, and you nodded every now and then to feign acknowledgment. Glimmers of bronze, silver, and gold dazzled you until your head spun. Jewels and stones encrusted in delicate veins of metal swelled your heart with want, but you stayed your hand once your eyes drifted to the tiny numbers set before each piece.

You were a mere researcher of Hyrule, not the king himself.

Realizing this whole shop was way out of your tax bracket, you awkwardly scooted closer toward the exit, making sure to eye everything you saw on your way out for politeness' sake. As you neared freedom and your friend, the most delicate piece of metalwork you had ever laid eyes on locked your gaze in a vice grip.

The dainty necklace's simple, elegant features starkly contrasted with the cacophony of gaudy golds and polished bronze--a mere sliver of the moon in a sea of gold and copper stars that vied for your attention. Your fingers grazed the crescent moon that dangled at the apex of the thin chain while a small, fond smile played at your lips. The three small stars by the celestial body fleshed the necklace into a gorgeous piece that didn't need to have metal bits sticking this way and that to make a statement.

"Ah, you have quite the eye for design! That piece right there was carefully crafted by yours truly! It can be yours today if you so desire!"

Your thoughtful hums turned to disappointment as your eyes once again rested on the price. It was by far one of the most expensive items here and dejection weighed your shoulders.

"Thank you, these truly are gorgeous pieces, but I must be on my way."

You drifted out of the stall and into the streets teeming with life around you. The crowd had gotten noticeably thicker as bodies rammed into you; there was hardly any room to breathe.

"Man, that stall sure was expensive, huh Li-- Link?" Your head whipped this way and that. "Link?!"

Your eyes scanned the conglomerate of bodies crowding about you. The sights, scents, and sensations of Castle Town were increased tenfold and you fought the crowd for respite off to the side. Lightly panting, you immediately went back to scanning the crowd for your lost companion.

"Link! Link!"

How long has it been since you lost him? Where was the last time you even saw him?

That would have been over there...

You threw a weak glance to an arbitrary point on your left, mentally reprimanding yourself for your carelessness. You thought he was right behind you! Did he not follow you to the stall? Did the crowd start picking up when you left? Did he get swept away? He can be anywhere at this point! Gods, now you've abandoned Link on your day out and left him to fend for himself against Castle Town's inhabitants!

A simple tap on your shoulder pulled you from your thoughts and you spun around, almost knocking the both of you off your feet from the way your bodies clashed against the other.

"Link!"

A warm smile adorned his features and he nodded at you. You clasped your hands together and held them up to your chest, shaking slightly.

"I'm so sorry for leaving you like that! I thought you were right behind me, so I just bounded right over to the stall... I'll be more careful next time, I promise!"

He shook his head, that gentle smile not leaving his lips for a second. He offered his hand to you and eyed the crowd. He must be wanting to leave too. You gladly took hold of him and he turned off to the side, lacing between colorful tents and wooden stalls and slipping in and out of the crowd. Your eyes were trained on his figure as he skillfully bobbed and weaved through different bodies, effortlessly leading you through Castle Town.

You eventually rested on his hand, dutifully meshed with your own. You felt your cheeks grow hot and for once, you were relieved to have dozens of hot, sweaty bodies rubbing up against you lest he turn around and wonder why your face was a sweltering red.

You assumed he was making his way back to the castle, but a sudden left down a back alley and a veer off to the right opened into a clearing untouched by the encroaches of civilization. The vast openness of Hyrule Field spread across the horizon, wrapping its infinite plains and forests around your overstimulated self. You filled your lungs with the deepest, crispest breath you ever drew and let out a hefty sigh. The Captain did the same.

"This is so much better than that cramped market. Thanks for getting us outta there."

Turns out he wasn't done escorting you as he led you further into the wilds; the sweet melodies of songbirds and the wind making passage through trees cleansed the jolting bustle of Castle Town from your ears. You saw a clearing up ahead that opened to a grassy, flowery meadow with a crystal lake at its center.

A few steps later, you were washed in the gentle glow of the setting sun; crickets have joined in on nature's nightly symphony in conjunction with the scurry of small mammals rushing through thicket and brush.

After aestheticizing for a moment, he turned to you and his grip on your fingers loosened. You both pulled away, your fingers wrought with the absence of warmth you had been growing accustomed to. Eyes cautiously avoiding each other's gaze found shelter in the gentle swaying of sunlit trees and the long shadows they cast on the grass.

"It's so peaceful here... Do you come here often?"

He 'hmph'ed in confirmation and threw his arms above his head, scraping the sky with his fingertips in a futile effort to rake the stars.

You inched closer to the clear pool and sat down, rolling individual blades of grass and wildflowers between your fingers; your loyal knight followed suit. A comfortable silence fell over the both of you and you gazed dreamily at your semi-quavering surroundings reflected in the lake.

"Thank you for today, Link... It was fun."

The gentlest breeze cooed through your hair, pulling a few strands with it in a lighthearted dance. The sun caught in your quivering lashes and the dimpled smile on your plump lips could only be described as simply divine. Link's throat bobbed up and down and whatever passive thought was drifting through his mind dissipated immediately.

Oh Hylia, you were breathtaking.

He didn't dare look away from your glory, hoping to bask in your soft gaze for as long as you allowed him. His fingers fumbled with his tunic, with the grass, with the hem of his pants, with anything he could get his hands on and you giggled at his restlessness.

"You okay, Cap?"

"... Mm."

A surge of boldness shot through your chest as you found yourself scooting closer to the man. He positioned himself to make way for you until you slotted yourself just inches away from him. His heat radiated onto your skin and you felt your muscles lax out the tension it had been holding.

"I will be leaving soon." He whispered, streaking the serenity with hints of melancholy. "It will be a long and arduous mission far away from here... I do not know when I'll be back."

"... I know." Neither of your gazes met. "I know."

The sun, exhausted from its long journey across the sky, began its customary plummet past the horizon, calling its nightly sister to take its place as the provider of lesser light. The moon’s ascension to the celestial throne was slow and deliberate; the transition of powers brushed the sky with a rich indigo and vibrant marigold, marrying the two hues into perfect harmony. Wispy cirrus and scarlet stratus stood as witnesses to this otherworldly unification of colors, and both of you acted as passive guests to this ritual of dusk and twilight.

"But I'll wait for you." You say at last, turning to him. "No matter how long it takes, I'll always be waiting for you."

Surprised at the resolve in your own voice, your gaze faltered back onto his hands. His warm, calloused, steady hands. Your fingers itched to feel them again, but your still body betrayed your desires to hold and be held. What in the world were you saying? You weren't even his to begin with.

It was Link's turn to look at you now, heart seizing and throat drying. Forlornity tugged the corner of his lip into a somber smile and he moved his face closer to yours. He was close enough to feel your breath hitch (his did as well), and the proximity forced you to look up.

"I'll come back to you. I promise."

Your mind blanked as your arms found the back of his neck, pulling him into a gentle embrace. You kept your contact light--fleeting even, in case he wanted to pull away. But he did no such thing, instead sinking deeper into you and wrapping you up in a pair of muscled arms. Suddenly all the cold, touch-starved nights of longing didn't feel as empty anymore. Suddenly all the pining, all the directionless love you fostered for the other had some place to go. Although you didn't hear those three magical words, his tightening limbs were all the confirmation you needed.

"I have a surprise for you." He murmured into your hair, pulling away slightly. His hands fiddled in his pants pocket and a streak of joy gleamed across his face. "Close your eyes."

You did as you were told, steep in disbelief and excitement that he had actually gotten you something. The image of that necklace from earlier shot across your mind, but you internally scoffed as the price followed shortly after.

Stop kidding yourself, there's no way he would have gotten--

"Open your eyes."

Dangling in front of your face was a thin chain pulled down by a crescent moon and its three starry companions.

"Wait... That's..."

"I saw you looking at it earlier," he rubbed his neck sheepishly, "so I bought it."

"Link, that was hundreds of ru--"

"Don't worry about it." His lips were pulled ear to ear. "Do you like it?"

"I love it!" Happy tears shamelessly leaked from your eyes. "Oh gods Link, I love it!"

You sniveled and trained your eyes on the pretty little thing and Link gently grasped your shoulders to turn you. A pleasant shiver shimmied down your spine as his fingers traced the back of your neck, gingerly pushing your locks out of the way. You pinned it up to aid him further.

Link took his time clasping the accessory around your neck, drinking in the way your bare skin looked in the moonlight. Dedicating the scene in front of him to memory, he hummed and you turned to face him. He never knew how effective a simple piece of metal could be at enhancing your already ethereal qualities; his heart melted and pooled at his feet.

"Beautiful..."

You shrunk under his lovestruck gaze and, in a flurry of millions of racing thoughts all melding together, pressed a chaste kiss to his cheek.

If the man wasn't already reeling, he certainly was now. Every single gear in his head ceased execution; he was wholly at the mercy of your little chortles, your bashful smiles, and batting lashes. Hylia only knows how quickly he would cast himself into the sea should you say the word, or how happily he would steal heaven's brightest luminaries should you desire a matching ring made of the North Star. He stooped closer, practically face-to-face with you.

"May I," he said at last, "have the honor of kissing you?"

His hot breath tickled your cheeks and you found yourself giggling at his endearing politeness.

"Of course."

His face closed in on yours, his breath fanning a deep fire from the skin it touched. Hooded eyes flitted to hot, parted lips and they sank lower as he drew closer; you followed suit, your eyes fluttering closed on your knight's beautiful face. A heated softness pressed tenderly against your lips, melting any and all tension into nothingness. Your lips engaged in a clumsy, heartfelt dance as his lips moved awkwardly, cautiously, lovingly, against your own. Your heart was practically palpitating when you felt a pair of hands sneak onto your face.

He drew back for the briefest of seconds before his lips found yours again and again, each kiss more ravenous than the last. The whine that escaped your wet, parted lips incited something deep within him and his lips connected with yours in a merciless onslaught, leaving your head spinning and your heart wanting more, more, more. A hand fell to the small of your lower back and he drew you closer, your bodies flushed tightly against the other as deeper passions bloomed.

You felt yourself sink lower, lower, lower until the grass tickled the curve of your ear and skilled, battle-worn arms wrapped around you in a way that made you feel like porcelain. His lips moved on from yours and traced the outline of your jawbone with the lightest of movements, leaving a fiery trail in his wake. Your senses were wracked with newfound pleasures, his hands tightening in your own as he found solace in the crook of your neck. He peppered the soft, unmarked skin with butterfly pecks and kisses that thinly veiled his growing desires, suckling the skin just enough to send electricity through your whole body but just short of leaving a beautiful, bluish-purple welt (for he did not know if you wanted to be marked by him just yet). Your moans and sharp breaths intertwined heatedly, scattering your thoughts into a frenzy and numbing, blissful oblivion all at once.

His lips found yours once again, starved and craving for your warmth. One final, deep press into your lips before he pulled away with a pop, pressing his forehead against yours. A deep laugh rumbled in his chest.

"My apologies... It seems I have gotten carried away there..." He closed his eyes, stilling his rapidly beating heart lest it explode in his chest. Gods, he wanted more. More. One look at your pleading eyes almost made him come undone. Lilting lashes and blown-out pupils conveyed all the pent-up desire you've harbored for the man before you. He sucked in a breath and smoothed the mess he made of your hair, smiling tenderly.

"If you would like to continue, perhaps we should head somewhere more... comfortable."

Truthfully, the fact that you were in the literal wilderness may have slipped your mind just now. Your eyes went to scan for any body-shaped outlines hiding among the tree line, suddenly feeling very exposed. He saw the cautious look you shot at the trees and he couldn't help the laugh that spilled out of him.

"Are you shy, love?"

"W-Well it's just...!" Your eyes flew shut, unable to stand Link's teasing gaze any longer.

"Just... what?" His voice and face lowered into your neck. A deep moan thundered against your skin, sending butterflies knocking into your ribcage.

"Don't tease me like that..." Please keep teasing me like that--

A full belly laugh escaped the man. He pressed a quick kiss right at the junction of your shoulder and neck (his new safe space aw) and he pulled away to drink in your embarrassed, pleasured, wrecked expression.

"I've wanted this for so long..." An imperceptible smile bloomed. "Ever since I saw you grimacing at that scroll."

"You saw that?!" You shot back mortified, ears aflame. His hands shot up, waving them back and forth in protest.

"I-It was cute, I promise! I thought... You were so cute when you made that face..."

His slurred mumble made you want to ruffle his hair and hold him close whilst squealing into his chest.

"In fact," he hummed lowly, "it made me wonder what other kinds of faces you can make..."

"LINK!"

Free VFX & Consultation for NaNoRenO 2024 Jammers!

Hey everyone!  I hope you've had a great time participating in NaNoRenO this year!  I'm Nai from Make Visual Novels, though I imagine more of you know me either through our live team building events in DevTalk, or from the other jams and competitions I run.  I wanted to let you guys know that, for a limited time, I'm offering free consultations for jammers participating in NaNoRenO2024.  With those consultations, I'll also be creating VFX for your title screens to help you make a stronger first impression.

So you might be asking...

Why would I even want a consultation, Nai?

Something went really wrong and you want to know how to fix it .

Something went really right and you want to know how to take advantage of it.

You had an objective that you got close to, but couldn't quite hit it.

You want to go Pro with developing VNs, and you'd like guidance.

You feel lost in some part of the process, and need help setting goals for your circumstances.

You tasted VN Dev, you can't imagine a life without it, and you want tools, resources & opportunities.

Okay, but why you?

I've spent nearly a decade supporting and coaching visual novel developers reaching their personal and professional goals.

I've read over 500 indie visual novels.  I know what your peers are doing, and where they are succeeding and where they're struggling.

I run & judge for the largest sponsored visual novel development competition.  That 500 was a conservative estimate.

My network includes VN engine & game developers, game, book, comic & VN publishers, merchandise providers & manufacturers, marketing professionals, crowdfunding experts, professional programmers, illustrators, animators, graphic designers, VFX artists, 3D Artists(specifically modelling, texturing, rigging, and lighting) editors, pixel artists, Live2D capable artists, authors, narrative designers, translators, composers, musicians, singers, casting directors, voice actors (so many voice actors).And, probably most importantly, people who are living the experiences you're looking for.

In short: If I don't know the answer and/or can't come up with a solution to your very specific goals, I know someone who can.

I'm in.  Now what?

To be eligible for the free consultation and the VFX, you need to have a game submitted to the NaNoRenO 2024 jam page and follow its rules.

Having a list of questions to ask is a good idea.  Having goals is an even better one.  If you don't have goals, we can work on setting them.

For best results, you or a team representative should be present for the consultation.  These are conducted between 6:00 PM and 9:00 PM ET on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Message me over on Discord (discord:naidriftlin) or in DevTalk(https://discord.gg/devtalk) to set up a time and day.

Some things to keep in mind: 

Don't ask me to roast your game/be brutal.  I don't do that.  I can provide critique with suggestions and examples.

These consultations will be conducted live on https://twitch.tv/makevisualnovels.  My viewers are typically your peers and VN industry folks, and usually not exceeding 10 concurrent viewers.  A VOD recording will be provided to you to download for 30 days afterwards.

The free VFX for your title screen is eligible for those who complete the consultations.  It will be tailored to your existing title screen visuals and delivered afterwards.  I may opt to stream and record the process of making them.

Why Tableau is Essential in Data Science: Transforming Raw Data into Insights

Data science is all about turning raw data into valuable insights. But numbers and statistics alone don’t tell the full story—they need to be visualized to make sense. That’s where Tableau comes in.

Tableau is a powerful tool that helps data scientists, analysts, and businesses see and understand data better. It simplifies complex datasets, making them interactive and easy to interpret. But with so many tools available, why is Tableau a must-have for data science? Let’s explore.

1. The Importance of Data Visualization in Data Science

Imagine you’re working with millions of data points from customer purchases, social media interactions, or financial transactions. Analyzing raw numbers manually would be overwhelming.

That’s why visualization is crucial in data science:

Identifies trends and patterns – Instead of sifting through spreadsheets, you can quickly spot trends in a visual format.

Makes complex data understandable – Graphs, heatmaps, and dashboards simplify the interpretation of large datasets.

Enhances decision-making – Stakeholders can easily grasp insights and make data-driven decisions faster.

Saves time and effort – Instead of writing lengthy reports, an interactive dashboard tells the story in seconds.

Without tools like Tableau, data science would be limited to experts who can code and run statistical models. With Tableau, insights become accessible to everyone—from data scientists to business executives.

2. Why Tableau Stands Out in Data Science

A. User-Friendly and Requires No Coding

One of the biggest advantages of Tableau is its drag-and-drop interface. Unlike Python or R, which require programming skills, Tableau allows users to create visualizations without writing a single line of code.

Even if you’re a beginner, you can:

✅ Upload data from multiple sources

✅ Create interactive dashboards in minutes

✅ Share insights with teams easily

This no-code approach makes Tableau ideal for both technical and non-technical professionals in data science.

B. Handles Large Datasets Efficiently

Data scientists often work with massive datasets—whether it’s financial transactions, customer behavior, or healthcare records. Traditional tools like Excel struggle with large volumes of data.

Tableau, on the other hand:

Can process millions of rows without slowing down

Optimizes performance using advanced data engine technology

Supports real-time data streaming for up-to-date analysis

This makes it a go-to tool for businesses that need fast, data-driven insights.

C. Connects with Multiple Data Sources

A major challenge in data science is bringing together data from different platforms. Tableau seamlessly integrates with a variety of sources, including:

Databases: MySQL, PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL Server

Cloud platforms: AWS, Google BigQuery, Snowflake

Spreadsheets and APIs: Excel, Google Sheets, web-based data sources

This flexibility allows data scientists to combine datasets from multiple sources without needing complex SQL queries or scripts.

D. Real-Time Data Analysis

Industries like finance, healthcare, and e-commerce rely on real-time data to make quick decisions. Tableau’s live data connection allows users to:

Track stock market trends as they happen

Monitor website traffic and customer interactions in real time

Detect fraudulent transactions instantly

Instead of waiting for reports to be generated manually, Tableau delivers insights as events unfold.

E. Advanced Analytics Without Complexity

While Tableau is known for its visualizations, it also supports advanced analytics. You can:

Forecast trends based on historical data

Perform clustering and segmentation to identify patterns

Integrate with Python and R for machine learning and predictive modeling

This means data scientists can combine deep analytics with intuitive visualization, making Tableau a versatile tool.

3. How Tableau Helps Data Scientists in Real Life

Tableau has been adopted by the majority of industries to make data science more impactful and accessible. This is applied in the following real-life scenarios:

A. Analytics for Health Care

Tableau is deployed by hospitals and research institutions for the following purposes:

Monitor patient recovery rates and predict outbreaks of diseases

Analyze hospital occupancy and resource allocation

Identify trends in patient demographics and treatment results

B. Finance and Banking

Banks and investment firms rely on Tableau for the following purposes:

✅ Detect fraud by analyzing transaction patterns

✅ Track stock market fluctuations and make informed investment decisions

✅ Assess credit risk and loan performance

C. Marketing and Customer Insights

Companies use Tableau to:

✅ Track customer buying behavior and personalize recommendations

Solana's Secret Weapon: How it Dethroned BNB

Solana Surged Past BNB Chain, Claiming Fourth Spot in Global Market Cap Rankings Last Week.

Solana has been making waves in the cryptocurrency world, consistently surpassing Ethereum

in daily decentralized exchange (DEX) trading volume. This trend, coupled with innovations in

decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePINs), signals a potential shift in the crypto

landscape that could have far-reaching implications.

Key Highlights:

● Solana overtook BNB chain in Market Cap this week, making them fourth place in the

overall global market cap

● Solana overtook Ethereum in DEX volume again, with $848.71 million compared to

Ethereum's $778.66 million on July 1, 2024.

● Firedancer, a new high-performance validator client, promises to boost significantly

Solana's transaction processing capabilities .

● Solana's low fees and high efficiency are driving its growing popularity.

● Innovations in DePINs, like those proposed by Koii Network, could further accelerate this

trend.

Solana's Rising Dominance

The latest data shows Solana surpassing Ethereum in daily DEX trading volume, with $848.71

million compared to Ethereum's $778.66 million on July 1, 2024. This "flipping" event is

becoming more frequent, occurring approximately every 10 days in recent months. This

increased frequency suggests a growing shift in user preference and network activity. Moreover,

Solana has received a great deal of interest from institutional investors as a potential candidate

for the launch of a future spot ETF.

Solana's appeal lies in its low transaction fees and high efficiency, making it more

capital-efficient for traders. This efficiency allows for profitable trades at lower values and

enables high-frequency trading, contributing to higher overall volumes.

#DePIN - The Decentralized Infrastructure Revolution

While Solana's growth is impressive, innovations in DePINs could further accelerate this trend

and reshape the entire blockchain landscape. The Koii Network, for example, proposes novel

solutions to enhance scalability and reliability of decentralized networks by leveraging consumer

computing capacity.

Koii introduces two key innovations:

1. SCALEs (Succinct Curated Acyclic Ledger Extensions): These efficient large archives

are event streams with dynamic audits and incentives, addressing blockchain scalability

challenges.

2. CARP (Compute Attribution and Reputation Protocol): This standardizes reputation

management to boost network security and reduce audit inefficiencies.

The above innovations have the capacity to support a wide range of decentralized applications,

from streaming services to AI-driven search engines and uncensorable social platforms. By

tapping into underutilized and idle consumer hardware resources, they aim to create a more

efficient and equitable digital economy.

KOII: A Fork Built on Solana's Strengths

Recognizing Solana's potential, KOII, an innovative blockchain project, has forked the Solana

codebase to create its own unique ecosystem. KOII's decision was influenced by Solana's Proof

of History consensus mechanism, which provides an excellent framework for DePIN

applications. The recent growth of the Solana ecosystem further validates KOII's choice.

However, KOII isn't just a Solana clone. It has introduced several key differences that set it

apart:

1. Leveraging Consumer Hardware: KOII taps into the vast potential of consumer devices,

creating a more decentralized and accessible network.

2. Multi-Token Support: Unlike many blockchain networks, KOII allows users to pay fees in

various tokens, supporting a diverse ecosystem.

3. Shorter Epoch Time: This feature enables faster network updates and more responsive

governance.

4. Off-chain Storage Integration: KOII reduces on-chain data load by integrating with

off-chain storage solutions, enhancing scalability.

5. Flexible Smart Contracts: KOII's smart contract system offers greater flexibility, allowing

for more complex and diverse applications.

6. Minimal On-chain Data Load: By utilizing off-chain hooks, KOII minimizes the amount of

data stored directly on the blockchain, improving efficiency and reducing costs.

While Koii has been up and running for a couple years, their whitepaper is still one of the best

ways to learn more about how this fits into the broader Solana landscape. Read more here:

koii.network/whitepaper

Firedancer: Boosting Solana's Potential

Solana's rising dominance is further bolstered by the development of Firedancer, a new

high-performance validator client. Created by Jump Crypto, Firedancer aims to dramatically

increase Solana's transaction processing capabilities, potentially handling over 1 million

transactions per second.

This significant upgrade not only enhances Solana's appeal as a leading Layer 1 blockchain but

also addresses the network's need for client diversity. By providing a fourth validator client

option, Firedancer strengthens Solana's resilience against bugs, code exploits, and attacks,

positioning it to better compete with other top cryptocurrencies. The introduction of Firedancer

could be a game-changer in Solana's quest to challenge Ethereum's dominance in the DeFi

space

Future Implications

The rise of Solana and the development of new decentralized infrastructure technologies point

to a future where blockchain networks can handle greater transaction volumes (i.e., TPS) with

increased efficiency. This could lead to:

1. More competitive DEX environments, potentially driving down costs for users.

2. Increased adoption of decentralized finance (DeFi) applications due to lower barriers to

entry.

3. The emergence of new types of dApps that were previously unfeasible due to scalability

limitations.

However, it's important to note that Ethereum still maintains a significant lead in total value

locked (TVL) and overall ecosystem size. Ethereum's TVL stands at $59 billion compared to

Solana's $4.5 billion, indicating that Ethereum's dominance in the broader DeFi landscape

remains strong.

Conclusion

As Solana continues to gain ground on Ethereum in terms of DEX volume, and newtechnologies like Koii's SCALEs and CARP emerge, we may be witnessing the early stages of a

major shift in the blockchain and cryptocurrency landscape. These developments could lead to

more efficient, scalable, and user-friendly decentralized networks, potentially accelerating the

adoption of blockchain technology across various sectors.

For those interested in being part of this revolution, there are two primary ways to get involved, one of which is

1. Run a KOII Node: Contribute to the network's decentralization and earn rewards.

As the blockchain landscape evolves, Solana's rise and its influence on projects like KOII

showcase the dynamic nature of the crypto ecosystem. The flippening of BNB may just be the

beginning of Solana's journey to the top, with far-reaching implications for the future of

decentralized technologies.

However, it's crucial to remember that the crypto market is highly volatile and that Ethereum's

established ecosystem and ongoing upgrades could help it maintain its leading position. As

always, investors and users should conduct thorough research and consider the risks before

participating in any cryptocurrency-related activities.

hi! i’m slowly getting interested in f1 but i don’t really know how to start. so i was wondering if you had any content to recommend (except for the races of course) to get into the fandom, or anything else that could help, really.. thanks :)

oh anon i would love to help!!! are there any drivers/teams you're already particularly fond of or things you want to learn more about? i feel like it'd be easier to narrow down content if i understood your interests better since it's really something you can mold entirely to your own tastes and there are a million different ways to Enjoy and Consume the sport LOL. tbh i call myself an f1 fan but i mostly just rep oscar and in reality enjoy junior formulae more as a whole because i find the process of getting to f1 more intriguing than actually being in it... so it's really whatever you make of it! i'll try to divide my notes categorically so hopefully that helps a little bit but lmk if there's anything specific you're looking for :') and as always apologies in advance for my rambling 💔

getting into the actual sport

having a baseline understanding of the sport is obviously useful but i'm not sure how much you already know so i'll assume you can find super basic info about how seasons and points work! if you want to delve just a Bit further then:

i think chain bear is a decent youtube channel for easy explanations on some technical aspects and little things you may not have picked up on yet that will help when watching races

drive to survive is of course Not Great but it can be a nice and quick window into learning names and faces, even if a lot of it is ridiculously simplified or overexaggerated. it's basically like using duolingo for learning a new language in that it should be regarded as a semi-reliable supplemental material readily packaged for convenient consumption. if there are specific drivers you're interested in you can always pick and choose eps to consume decent Background Lore for, e.g. you can just watch s1e8 if you're a sharl fan

honestly not to shill for official f1 media but i do think f1tv is a pretty decent streaming platform when getting into the sport... definitely not saying you should subscribe to it (if it's even available in your country!) but just as an aside and maybe for future reference i do believe it's very friendly for new watchers because live races have different feeds that let you track race data (gaps, tyre usage, granular sector data during quali, etc.) and it also lets you switch between driver onboards which can be cool. moreover it has pre-race/post-race shows, technical analyses, archives of past seasons, all the f2/f3 content, documentaries, etc. so it's a pretty complete package! although a good amount of stuff gets x-posted to the official youtube channel so it's not a big deal

if you like podcasts, i think beyond the grid is cool because it has a fun variety of interviews (current drivers, retired drivers, tps, engineers, etc.) about both past and current events so you can basically seek out whatever you're interested in learning more about. otherwise i don't really listen to f1 podcasts regularly because i have weirdly low patience for them compared to hockey, but my friend told me that shift+f1 does yearly primers so that could be something useful to check out! (here's the 2023 season preview, i haven't checked it out but i thought i'd link anyway)

keeping up with news

obviously an important part of fandom is trying to keep up with current affairs, so if you haven't already then i would of course follow the f1 youtube channel + twitter account (or whatever other social media you use), f1 nowadays is extremely effective at marketing itself so it's not like hockey where you're fighting for your life waiting for the unfunniest puck personality video in existence to drop every 8 months. not that all f1 driver content is necessarily funny but there's probably a touch more investment in maintaining the illusion! anyway.

if you use reddit then r/formula1 is honestly probably the best aggregate source of f1 news and up-to-date info, i don't read everything there but it's pretty useful and easy to navigate. plus sometimes when i want to cause myself irreparable psychic damage from something that already pissed me off i can venture into a 500-comment section to get my blood boiling even more... 10/10 would recommend

other than that it's really like — follow official channels for any other drivers or teams you're fond of tbh, i do have a few motorsports journalists in my twitter list but since i respect the fact that some people don't enjoy endless news spam i'd maybe just recommend chris medland if you want a succinct live feed during races for the moment? f1 journalism is kind of godless so you don't *need* to follow that many reporters on a whole.

driver personality content

unfortunately i'll be showing my age when i say i don't have a tiktok account but now that i think about it that's probably a great source of information because it seems like f1 fandom is thriving over there!!! regardless the official f1 youtube does have a lot of little driver personality videos you can watch to get to know them more, and again i'd recommend checking out official team + driver channels for more tailored longform content. for ex just from very recent mcl fan pov they have an unboxed series with behind the scenes of select races and also loads of fun minigame content; every team should have at least SOMETHING to nibble on but certain teams are definitely more marketing-savvy than others (aka big 3 + mcl) 🥲

official f1: f1 has a yearly series called grill the grid with just mini quizzes that all the drivers compete in, some are less interesting but it's overall not bad content. the channel has a playlist for the 2021 gtgs which includes the iconic sebvettel world champion video LOL... actually if you sort the f1 channel by Most Viewed there are probably some fun classic videos in there (looking now it's a lot of crashes but you can ignore those lol), like press conference highlights and other convenient top 10 lists. for a random rec i was just nostalgically revisiting the 2019 rookie of the year video and it was getting to me a little bit!

sky sports f1 will also occasionally have good interview/inside content that you can check out, a lot of it is geolocked though (same with canal+ content in france). but for example i felt so much experiencing this random alex interview from last week... he is truly guy of this world

fan compilations: again if there are any drivers you like then you can just search up their names and there will be a ton of comps with Funny MomentsTM, sometimes it helps to just pick a guy and see how you feel about him as you consume content because your true interests will organically develop and surface eventually... sorry i feel like i'm writing a manifesto on fandom in general which is definitely not what you asked for LOL. but like twitch quartet (aka charles, george, alex, and lando) have a ton of silly streaming highlights you can find on youtube, lando has a gaming company called quadrant that he does videos with which can be uhhh hit or miss depending on how much you enjoy Lad Culture, etc...

really it's so easy to get hyperspecific with content once you pick a team or driver so i'm not sure what else to recommend on a general level but that's what i've got off the top of my head! fandom definitely skews a lot toward rb/merc/fer/mcl so it's easiest to consume both video content and fic for them, but if you're willing to go trawling for interviews then you can really get invested in anyone... fandom culture also varies so wildly depending on how you follow the sport and which drivers you invest in emotionally. my closest friend is a "chirlie" as they say and it really is an experience rife with organizational trauma and TFW You're Beholden To The Stranglehold Of Your Legacy so that's always a great pick if you're craving maximum narrative evisceration, or if you're in it for the fic then you could literally just get really into maxiel, but i'm basically chilling in my land of rookie stonks and sit down to watch non-mcl content maybe once a month.

honestly i only follow like 3.5 f1 fans on tumblr because i'm objectively terrified by the size of the fandom HLSHDFLKH so i mostly consume things in a vacuum and talk to like one friend 😭 but there loads of cool creators out here and you can always find a few gifmakers/fanartists/etc. and just follow the rabbit hole from there!!! best of luck and hope this helps >__<

The Influence of the 'Aesthetic Template' on Body Modification Trends: How Social Media Shapes Our Faces

In recent years, “cosmetic surgery” products have witnessed an exponential increase in demand as aesthetics have become an important aspect of daily life.  The rise in population focusing on aesthetic features has generated promising prospects for the growth of the cosmetic procedure market.

The trend among women towards aesthetic procedures, such as breast augmentation, eyelid surgery, liposuction, tummy tuck, and other surgeries to enhance appearance, is on the rise, leading to high demand. Additionally, preferences are shifting towards procedures inspired by social media influencers.

Standard Face: Idol-Inspired Facial Surgery

First, we can understand the "Standard Face" often refers to an idealized appearance that features symmetrical, well-defined facial traits, such as high cheekbones, full lips, and smooth skin. This look has been popularized by social media influencers, especially on platforms like Instagram and TikTok.

Celebrities, especially in the entertainment industry, have a significant influence on their fans. They are often viewed as ideal beauty models, leading fans to feel pressured to attain a similar appearance. Their images and videos on social media are frequently edited and curated to showcase a perfect look, creating a challenging standard to achieve.

A 33-year-old musician named Toby Sheldon spent $100,000 (over 2 billion VND) over five years on cosmetic surgery to resemble Justin Bieber. Sheldon underwent Botox injections, hair transplants, and "smile" surgery, among other procedures, to look like Bieber.

Twin brothers Matt and Mike Schlepp spent £15,000 to have their noses, chins, and cheekbones altered to look like movie star Brad Pitt. Their transformation process over two months was documented in an MTV reality show.

Analyze behavior

The Algorithm Factor: How Social Media Rewards the Aesthetic Template

The reason for celebrity look alike surgery is not just about their love for their idols.Many individuals frequently compare themselves to idols or attractive individuals on social media. This can create feelings of inadequacy, leading to dissatisfaction with oneself.The constant presence of meticulously edited images can lead others to believe that these characteristics are the new standard of "beauty," causing them to feel that their natural appearance is not good enough.Not only that, many people change their faces to look like their idols so they can take advantage of it as a basis for personal gain.

Many young Chinese people are willing to undergo plastic surgery to look like celebrities, hoping to quickly become famous so they can sell products online and enter showbiz.

Hà Thừa Hy (born 1993) gained fame on the Chinese reality show Super Girl for resembling Phạm Băng Băng. Since age 15, she has spent 8 million NDT (over 27 billion VND) on cosmetic surgery to achieve this look. Emulating Phạm Băng Băng's style, she often gets mistaken for her and earns significant income through event appearances and live streaming, reportedly making up to $500,000 a month at her peak.

The Real-World Impact: Facial surgery

Cosmetic procedures aimed at achieving a celebrity-like appearance often include various techniques. A nose job can help create a straight or curved nose, depending on the desired style. Jaw contouring is performed to create sharper jawline features, enhancing overall facial structure. Additionally, Botox or filler injections are used to plump the lips and enhance the cheekbones, giving a more defined look. Finally, eye surgeries, such as double eyelid surgery or brow lifting, can further refine the appearance, helping individuals achieve their ideal aesthetic.Individuals undergoing surgery must have a strong mental attitude.

They may not only go through a single procedure but could also face hundreds of different minor and major surgeries.

The Health Dilemma: surgical risks, post operative health

HEALTH: After cosmetic surgery, patients face potential infections if the surgical site is not cared for properly, and some may develop scarring, which can be raised or uneven. There’s also a risk of adverse reactions to anesthesia, and many experience pain and discomfort in the operated area, with soreness or swelling lasting from a few days to several weeks. Proper post-operative care is essential to minimize these risks.

Psychological Challenges: Many patients experience dissatisfaction with the results if their expectations are not met. This can lead to feelings of depression or anxiety, particularly due to the pressure to maintain their new appearance. Additionally, individuals may struggle to accept their new image, which can significantly impact their self-confidence. It is essential for patients to seek support and guidance during this adjustment period to foster a positive self-image.

Embracing Individuality: Rethinking Beauty Standards

The influence of social media on body modification trends cannot be overstated. The 'Aesthetic Template' propagated by influencers and celebrities sets a high bar for beauty standards, leading many individuals to pursue cosmetic procedures in an attempt to conform. While these surgeries can enhance physical appearance, they come with significant risks and psychological challenges. As society continues to evolve in its perception of beauty, it is crucial to foster a more inclusive understanding of aesthetics that values individuality over conformity to idealized standards. Encouraging open discussions about the implications of cosmetic surgery and promoting mental health support can help mitigate the negative effects associated with the pursuit of an idealized appearance.

The most common risks in Entrepreneurship

Entrepreneurship is inherently risky, with no guarantees of success. Whether you’re launching a startup, growing a small business, or pursuing a new venture, you’ll inevitably encounter challenges and uncertainties. Understanding the most common risks in entrepreneurship is essential for mitigating potential pitfalls and increasing your chances of success. In this blog post, we’ll explore some of the most prevalent risks entrepreneurs face and strategies for managing them effectively.

Financial Risk:

Financial risk is one of the most significant challenges for entrepreneurs. Starting and running a business requires capital for initial investment, operating expenses, and growth initiatives. However, many entrepreneurs need more resources, and cash flow constraints and uncertain revenue streams make financial management a critical concern. To mitigate financial risk, entrepreneurs should develop realistic budgets, secure adequate funding, monitor cash flow closely, and explore alternative financing options such as loans, grants, or equity investments.

Market Risk:

Market risk refers to the uncertainty associated with changes in consumer preferences, competitive dynamics, and economic conditions. Entrepreneurs must conduct thorough market research, analyze industry trends, and assess market demand to identify opportunities and threats. However, even with careful planning, market conditions can change rapidly, posing challenges for startups and established businesses. To manage market risk, entrepreneurs should stay agile, adapt to changing market conditions, diversify revenue streams, and maintain a customer-centric approach to product development and marketing.

Operational Risk:

Operational risk encompasses various challenges related to day-to-day business operations, including supply chain disruptions, technology failures, regulatory compliance issues, and human resource management. Poorly managed operations can lead to inefficiencies, delays, and costly mistakes that impact business performance and reputation. Entrepreneurs should implement robust processes and systems to mitigate operational risk, invest in technology and infrastructure, and prioritize employee training and development. Additionally, having contingency plans and disaster recovery strategies in place can help minimize the impact of unforeseen events on business operations.

Legal and Regulatory Risk:

Entrepreneurs must navigate a complex web of laws, regulations, and compliance requirements at the local, state, and federal levels. Violating legal or regulatory requirements can result in fines, penalties, lawsuits, and damage to reputation. Joint legal and regulatory risks include intellectual property disputes, contract breaches, data privacy violations, and labor law violations. Entrepreneurs should seek legal counsel, stay informed about relevant laws and regulations, and implement robust compliance programs to mitigate legal and regulatory risk. Additionally, having appropriate insurance coverage can provide extra protection against legal liabilities.

Reputational Risk:

Reputational risk is the potential damage to a business’s reputation and brand value due to negative publicity, customer complaints, ethical lapses, or public relations crises. In today’s digital age, news spreads quickly through social media and online platforms, making reputation management a critical concern for entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs should prioritize transparency, integrity, and ethical business practices to safeguard their reputations. Building solid relationships with customers, employees, and stakeholders and proactively addressing issues and concerns can help protect the business’s reputation.

Conclusion:

Entrepreneurship is inherently risky, but with careful planning, strategic decision-making, and resilience, entrepreneurs can navigate challenges and seize opportunities for growth and success. By understanding the most common risks in entrepreneurship and implementing proactive risk management strategies, entrepreneurs can increase their chances of achieving their goals and building sustainable businesses. While risks will always be present, embracing them as opportunities for learning and growth can empower entrepreneurs to overcome obstacles and thrive in today’s dynamic business environment.
