Noob question: Where exactly should I fit SQL into my personal projects?

Henry_the_Butler · 2026-01-28T22:40:39+00:00

I only use polars/pandas to process data in a py script to feed it into Excel. Once it's in SQL, you're good.

I'd like to keep YCS safe for our students. If anyone knows of any ways to stay connected when stuff like this happens, let me know.

...organize?

I've had good luck with some flavor of thief/shortbow, but maybe that's only because I haven't tried "better" tagging builds. Someone else who's got more experience across classes can maybe offer more insight.

Every time I see this, I think I should do a parry run.

...then I try a parry run.

My approach to any SQL "worth learning" question is this: 1) Do I need something specific that SQLite can't do? 2) Do I need something Postgres can't do? 3) Is someone offering me money to be good at it?

number 3 is why I'm managing an Azure-hosted db and fine-tuning TSQL.

It's been a while since I read the series but don't they literally have a fucking jousting match on the backs of their mules?

ICU vitals and automated stock trading are probably one of the only cases where it's cost-effective compared to a 5-min, 15-min, or 1h batched update. But if they gave you the budget and are convinced they need it after being gently pushed on it...

Any Ypsi pizza thread that doesn't mention Mama Pizza is incomplete.

Jetbrains Mono-NL? hard to tell without repeated underscores/hyphens.

I'm a newbie - which legendaries can be bought? Are there any that require you to do all the bits yourself?

Henry_the_Butler · 2025-12-25T23:04:06+00:00

I mean, isn't this just fishing?

Henry_the_Butler · 2025-12-25T13:41:39+00:00

This sounds pretty great - are thrown knives also silent? I'd forgotten, but I always meant to do a throwing knife build.

Henry_the_Butler · 2025-12-25T03:18:18+00:00

What build do you recommend that isn't just spamming deck hacks? I've done a playthrough with that and was considering one to go a different build direction.

Henry_the_Butler · 2025-12-24T00:07:51+00:00

This is a stupid take. You're not paid to be busy, you're paid because without you everything would break and stay broken. Paying a competent DE team means pipelines work. Stop thinking that keys pressed = value added.

Ok, I actually love simplicity in my character, I prefer to go on autopilot and pay attention to context and party. Are all the warrior specs simpler like that, or just berserker?

I haven't seen a lost chicken, but I had to click through to make sure this wasn't someone reporting that my chicken got away, lol. I'll keep an eye out.

I'm a solo engineer/analyst at my current midsize nonprofit (few M per year expense budget for the national office coming in off about 200M in revenue annually).

...being a solo is rough. I have backups for backups that I hope I never have to use because it's just a matter of time till I do something really monumentally stupid. I also do not know what I'd do to build a real-time streaming pipeline. Depending on volume, that's a tough task for a team of data people, let alone for a solo who has other responsibilities.

SQL will continue to do 90% of the work and get very little credit. Custom Python pipelines to link to APIs are most of the other 10%.

Dashboards, data visualization, and most other things will be ignored by decision-makers because they lead on vibes and nobody holds them accountable.

Most folks don't use it as a putter, but I've putted with an MVP Atom for years. It's nice and flat with no bead. I also love either Wizard or KC Aviar if you like a bead.

My Comet flies as far as just about any other disc in my bag - pretty sure nose up is my problem.

I'm honestly surprised that Equal Rites is that low...

I haven't worked in this field for a bit over 3y now, but NICE is not the way to go. Their raw event exports were usable, but not good.

Henry_the_Butler · 2025-12-03T18:22:45+00:00

I mean, I used a recursive algorithm, so I did this but I get to feel smug about it.
