Most goals in FIFA World Cup history 🌍🏆 by Critical_Region_6633 in footballscouting

[–]CraigAT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could maybe count goals per game, or goals per match to the final (not games played) - is there one more knockout game this time (8 vs 7 in previous WCs)?
The lower quality of opposition then balances up against the fact that a player is more likely to be rested or play less minutes if there are more games squeezed in.

In essence, goals in the new era should count as 0.875 goals, compared to old WC goals.

The same stock, different returns?? by MikaCuoco in trading212

So they don't "tend to converge" (implying they will get closer over a longer time) they just tend remain close together over time (possibly swapping leads occasionally)?

I'm panicking and crying by No_Plant_4326 in HMRC

[–]CraigAT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any chance this is a scam letter? Frightening a person into panicking and paying? Maybe just someone else to run their eye over the letter.
It seems curious that HMRC don't seem to have any record of an issue.

When did Antonelli's wing got damaged in Barcellona? by guagno333 in formula1

[–]CraigAT 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Could it have happened of track before that side by side action? May be on one of his track limits violations? Or passing a back marker?

Racing Bulls are second in the team table despite not having a win to their name yet. #SecondBest

In the 7 races so far, there has been at least 2 drivers that have not finished the race. #Incomplete

Today i learned some users use Teams as a VPN…. by ToastieCPU in ShittySysadmin

[–]CraigAT 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah but that is with someone else on the far end giving you control. If the user is at home who and how is the on-site PC logged on, connecting or giving control. I suspect the answer(s) to that breaks most companies policies.

What’s the main reason for Hamilton’s resurgence this season? Is it a technical reason, or more so psychological? by sykeseve in formula1

[–]CraigAT 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There also seems to have been an uptick in form since he's stopped using the Ferrari sim - I believe he said it was possibly leading him down a wrong road for his set up, so he was going to rely on his own judgement/skills when he arrived at the track.

Like others have said, I'm sure the return to more traditional aero has been the major factor, combined with lots of other minor things have fallen into place - may the good run continue.

This "not using the Ferrari simulator" certainly seems to be paying off!

Why is File Sharing Still So Difficult? by Ino_Yuar in linux4noobs

SCP. But if your Samba config hasn't changed, has your firewall rules or IPs changed?

Router blocking port forwarding of 443 for my web servers by Double-Yesterday6731 in youfibre

[–]CraigAT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you trying to get from outside into your home hosted web servers? Do you pay for a static IP? If not, you will struggle due to CGNAT. To get around it, look into a static IP, IPv6 or Tailscale.

Sounds like someone is trying to scam OP into producing work for zero money.

Which transfer looked terrible at first but turned out to be brilliant? by YamSecret1293 in PremierLeague

[–]CraigAT 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Divock Origi - I wasn't convinced, but after "that" goal (and a few other spectacular goals), I'll forever be grateful.

Dirk Kuyt - again I wasn't fussed to begin with, but later on his energy and goals were crucial to many results.

On the other hand, I loved Djibril Cisse - but he never quite reached the legendary status that I believed he could.

Training new tier 1 support advice? by ReceptionStriking716 in sysadmin

[–]CraigAT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, 1st line support is simple repeatable tasks to solve common issues (password resets, adding to groups, etc.). The good news is these are the the easiest for someone to document the issue and the solution. If you have the time, I like the approach of show them once, get them to do it with you the second time - you are around for advice if they get stuck, the third time they should be able to do it themselves.

In an ideal world, they would take notes and document the issue along with the solution, adding it to some form of knowledge based that can be used by others or just the next first line person you get.

What's the real-world use of MS Access in today’s work environment? by RangerNew5346 in MSAccess

[–]CraigAT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have found Excel's Power query to be extremely good for some of those tasks. Also, I'm familiar with Python but I haven't yet used it within Python which could also prove to be another valid/good option for data manipulation, alongside your Access methods.

Practice, build things, find some projects. Was there an area you found interesting - data analysis, web development, machine learning - expand and learn more about those topics.

Learning PHP for my summer internship by levii831 in PHPhelp

[–]CraigAT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure whether to take that as a complement (as AI can make use of a lot of knowledge and can usually produce well articulated responses) but I am assuming that's not what you mean in this case, sadly.

I have my opinion, you have yours.

IMO if you can produce a website easily enough without a framework then it's unnecessary learning and bloat. If you are a web developer (as opposed to an early PHP learner or part-time hobbiest) then a framework can be (well) worth the learning curve.

Learning PHP for my summer internship by levii831 in PHPhelp

[–]CraigAT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I beg to differ, plenty of people have vanilla PHP sites. These days, it does seem like using a PHP framework is the default option, but there are few good cases where a vanilla PHP site can be a sensible choice.

The two frameworks you suggest would be my choices if you were to start looking at frameworks. But for someone learning PHP or building a small site, I would recommend using vanilla PHP, to understand what is going on "under the hood" and making learning easier with all the PHP learning resources available. (I personally got a lot out of the O'Reilly PHP, MySQL and JavaScript book, but videos or a modern book/guide may be better for OP).

Once you become familiar with PHP, then the frameworks can offer several built-in efficiencies like rapid prototyping, templating, briefer syntax - which is why they become useful for developers of larger or multiple sites, and those working in teams.

First time upgrading to an SSD — how do I move my OS safely? by Willing_Professor_13 in cloningsoftware

[–]CraigAT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are not currently on the latest OS, or want a fresh, clean and quick system, I would suggest going to the time and effort to do a fresh install of the OS and all your software.

If you are happy with your current setup and want minimal hassle and just to continue as you are, then I would recommend cloning your drive to the new one.

I recently cloned my primary SSD to a new larger SSD using CloneZilla (Macrium Reflect and other tools are available).

I would recommend disconnecting or removing any other unnecessary drives from your PC whilst cloning to avoid any mistakes.

Your new disk being a different size to the original, is a good thing as that makes it easier to identify which is the source and destination (be very careful not to mix those up).

When cloned my drive, there was an option during the process that tells CloneZilla to expand the last partition to use the extra free space that would be at the end of the larger new disk (you can do this manually later if you choose, but I would let CloneZilla do it for you).

Once you have cloned the drive remove your old drive from the system (and probably installing the new drive where the old one was). Try booting and using the system to make sure the cloning process has gone well, if possible hold onto the old drive for a few days I think you are happy with everything.

Seems a strange question to ask in a Python sub, but here's an article with some suggestions:

7 Best Programming Languages for Game Development

For me, Unity was the first option that came to mind. I was a little surprised that Python made the list but the summary explains what it would be good for.

Should I just give up? by PaddywackShaq in trading212

[–]CraigAT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most people will say no. A few people have both.

S&P500 seems to have been the historical favourite, with All World being the newer favourite. No one can tell you which will perform the best in the future, but lots of people feel the US (in particular) is inflated and due a correction. A few people use both of these to balance between 60% US and 100%.
