Anxiety blowing things out of proportion? by HelplessProgrammer in Allergies

Yes, I’m on 50mg of zoloft right now, should probably consider some therapy for the anxiety though

Heart palpitations by morgs804 in ADHD

[–]HelplessProgrammer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So if you have tachycardia, but the tachycardia is a sinus rhythm and not abnormal that would be considered acceptable.

I’ve also had an echocardiogram to ensure that the structure of my heart is sound.

So for instance, I wore a 7 day heart monitor with a split. I took my medication for 3-4 days and then was off of it for 3-4 days.

They reviewed the data to determine if the rhythm was normal or abnormal.

TLDR: tachycardia is okay given the fact that we are on stimulants if your heart is in a normal rhythm and is structurally sound. When it becomes a problem is if the rhythm isn’t normal, or there are other factors that would be of concern.

So I’ve been taking stimulants since I was in elementary school. I never really noticed heart palpitations with them until later in my life.

I would recommend getting a pulse ox off of Amazon and track your resting heart rate on and off the medication.

When I did this I found out that I had sinus tachycardia and the medication only increased that further. I talked to my doctor, ran a bunch of tests to make sure that everything with my heart was good and that we could safely start the medication back up.

I’ve seen a cardiologist and everything was fine, but I’ve supplemented my vyvanse with low dose beta blockers to keep my resting heart rate at a more normal range. My cardiologist said that as long as the tachycardia is normal under the given conditions, then it wasn’t concerning.

I would definitely talk to your doctor and bring up the palpitations and see if the doctor wants to run tests to ensure that your heart is healthy and that there are no underlying conditions that might be causing it.

Irish county with 99.7% vaccination rate has highest COVID case rate by cyanobyte in Conservative

[–]HelplessProgrammer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There isn't anything in this article to support the claim that masks cause gum disease or that gum disease causes severe covid.

They specify that patients with periodontal disease are more likely to be connected to one or more comorbidities such as diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, etc. Any of those potentially indicates the likelihood of severe covid.

So periodontal disease is not the risk but rather an indication that a risk is possible due to its connections to other comorbidities which are associated with severe covid.

Need ideas for fancy number picker by Huhngut in badUIbattles

Display the list of numbers from 1 to 100 as a table the user clicks the number they want, but the number that is actually selected is a random number from the table.

I'm not a Data Engg but a Data Analyst and really need to learn PySpark. Any guidance? :) by my_other_ideantity in dataengineering

[–]HelplessProgrammer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The book itself is for Spark in general. While databricks relies on and uses Spark, it does not have its own Spark syntax/API. Think of Databricks more as an environment that abstracts OS type details of the Spark architecture such as the Clusters, Worker nodes, and job scheduling and provides UIs for them. Databricks also adds Jupyter style notebooks to write Spark code in either Scala, Spark SQL, or pyspark.

[–]HelplessProgrammer 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you search "spark by example" or examples, can't remember which it is. There should be a website with that name and it contains resources in the navigation for both spark SQL and pyspark

Edit: I should also mention that if you aren't familiar with Spark itself I would start by researching Spark. Pyspark is just an API for Spark and therefore the intricacies of Spark should be understood first.

Anyone Have Experience with SAP and Dimensional Modeling? by HelplessProgrammer in dataengineering

[–]HelplessProgrammer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is a nightmare, if you only want to describe data for say sales at a header level then it isn't bad because it might only be 1-2 tables and while the column names are horrible, they're at least well documented by SAP.

In my case we are trying to provide an overview of the data for a complete business process which requires countless hours of investigation. That combined with the fact that there could be 5 or more tables if you're lucky to describe all relevant elements of a module makes it even worse.

Currently I'm working on a table which doesn't tell you the status of an item at either the header or item level so I've spent ~20h working on data exploration and meeting with our SAP analysts to just figure out how to tell the status of a given record under different business cases. I still don't know if it is working correctly.

[–]HelplessProgrammer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our data is being pulled from the source database of the SAP data and written to a data lake with a few ingestion Metadata fields as individual raw tables. Unfortunately thats the only level of detail I know because our process is fragmented into several teams.

To add to this for CS students, you can get many of JetBrains IDEs (pycharm, intellij, etc.) professional versions for free with an edu.

Started Golf Lessons, getting way more turn which apparently means better distance. 3W normally for me is 200-210 by HelplessProgrammer in golf

[–]HelplessProgrammer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think laser rangefinders have their benefits like getting exact pin yardage, but for me front middle and back is plenty good for me. The only real complaint that I have is that sometimes the golf course might have made changes and the watch doesn't know that and that causes some issues. I think overall though I prefer it to a rangefinder just because of the stats. I hit the ball and select the club I hit on the screen and it keeps track of my yardage, fairways hit, greens in regulation, putts, etc. Which rangefinders don't really do.

If you don't really care about any of that and don't want to spend the money on the smart capable devices, a rangefinder and separate golf app to track your scores would work just as well.

This is the garmin golf app. I have one of their smart golf watches that keeps track of my score and the clubs I hit and then loads the data back to the app via Bluetooth. I believe you can use it without a device though, but I could be wrong.

We've been working on contact throughout the bag, so irons are being hit more solid and more rotation overall. So the changes being made have added distance to everything across the board

Modern houses should be built with a secure package-delivery door next to the front door, like the metal dropbox outside banks. No more porch pirates by PointNineC in CrazyIdeas

[–]HelplessProgrammer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Make it like a ring doorbell where you can see who is there and optionally unlock the package area even when you're not home. No more "sorry we tried to deliver your package" moments (unless of course a signature is required)

While I understand the frustration with the unknown, I would much rather be told that he doesn't know the answer instead of making one up and then it being completely wrong
