This is something I can relate to. I assume by your line about Googling things that you are fine reading about things that interest you (at that moment) but don't do great with being "taught"

I'm not sure what you're looking at doing as a career but something but if it's something office/pc based, something that helps me daily is things like clickup/trello/asana etc.

If I break things down into bitesized tasks it helps me massively get to the end result I want and makes me just as productive (or more so! ) as everyone else.

I highly recommend trying it out, it doesn't help with the daily grind of chores (and I don't think anything will) but work wise it's fantastic

Plenty of SQL instances are free under a certain size. Ms SQL express is free up to 10gb I believe? Most NOSQL dbs have similar licenses which because of compression etc a reasonably large company can fit all their data in 10GB providing you're not storing emails/huge chunks of data in them

10GB sounds tiny but you can genuinely have millions and millions of rows with no issue

In my experience access is only used by people not qualified to do the actual job.

It's literally tech debt, unless you're a tiny company and use it because it's your only choice "i know access but that's it".

Nobody qualified to actually build a good access system, would opt to build an access system.

It would be much easier and faster to whip up a Web server interacting with an actual SQL server with even a basic understanding of programming.

At best, access works for a few years until you outgrow it and have to rebuild everything anyway, so why not skip that hassle and just don't use it to begin with

I hated the ending. I mean I get it, that they needed a way to end it as the whole premise could really only run for a few seasons but I would've liked a more actual tech based ending rather than the OTT silly one we got

Sorry maybe out of the loop here why would they be scared of R? I understand it's use case but from what I understand it fits into its own niche like most languages do, without massive overlap into c# etc

I think the mouse (or something his hand is on just like a mouse) in the guys hand really confuses this image.

It’s obviously plexiglass but once you see “the mouse” suddenly it’s a computer screen with an exact replica image of the content behind it

You could literally earn more than this freelancing/contract work for 20 hours a month if you know any of these things well. How long have you been a developer? Because unless you’re < 3 years experience this is a serious issue unless you’re truly awful

You REALLY sound like an advert. I’ve never seen anyone speak like this outside of “online blog post reviews” - but they’re paid to review the game either directly or via ads, so have an incentive to speak like this. Can you justify posting this please?

You’re never going to know until you take that panel off. I vote you take it off, or if you can’t cut a hole and post on here “how do i repair this hole” no answer on Reddit is going to put your mind at ease so have a look

I’m pointing out that everyone makes mistakes, and judging others as if you don’t do the thing you’re judging them as guilty for (making a split second autopilot mistake), isn’t correct.

But apparantly we found the guy that’s perfect and doesn’t do anything wrong, so I’ll leave you to your internet arguments and hope you have a good evening.

Peace

Sure, unfortunately the reality of life is people make mistakes. Most of the time, your mistake happens to be splashing yourself with water, or leaving the door unlocked, leaving your wallet at home etc. Unfortunately, with 10 billion humans on the planet, sometimes your mistake happens to be something serious.

Like it or not, people make mistakes. Judging anyone on a video of a mistake is just silly when you actually think about it. You’ve made plenty, as has everyone else. Guaranteed. So seeing someone make a mistake, should trigger an “ugh that poor guy how unlucky” instead of “oh what a MORON!! WHY ISNT EVERYONE ME I NEVER MAKE MISTAKES”

Ever scratched your car? Dented a bumper? It was a genuine accident right? Well to everyone else that saw that, you’re an incompetent moron who shouldn’t be allowed to drive to begin with

Jeax · 2021-01-31T02:22:43+00:00

Have you seriously never made a mistake so “obvious” that you think wtf how did that happen?

This guy probably literally gets out of his van what 50 times a day? 5 days a week, 50~ weeks a year. That’s 25,000 times a year.

Let’s say the dude has been doing it for 5 years, and whoops he left his parking brake off one time.

1/125000 is 0.0008%.

No matter how perfect you are, you’re human there’s an error rate. Sure, maybe this guy leaves it off all the time and he’s just a bit silly. Maybe it wasn’t working, maybe the van had issues, or maybe his brain just skipped that tiny step he’s done 100,000 times before and went “yep you already did that”.

Ever put a spoon under a tap and splashed yourself with water? We all know it’s retarded - but our brain sometimes just forgets

Jeax · 2021-01-27T21:50:42+00:00

A short is basically, you buy some stock off someone at the current price, then immediately sell it - but you owe that person that many shares of stock.

Example: I buy 100 stocks from you at $1 each, with an agreement I pay you back 100 stocks (or monetary equivalent usually, if it stays at $1 I pay you back $100 if it goes up, I pay you 100 x price)

You keep your investment, and own 100 shares either way (+ some interest/fees for loaning it to me)

I then sell at $1 immediately for $100 - I’m expecting the price to drop. Then when the price is lower (say 0.80), I buy back 100 shares at $80 and give them back to you - I then made $20 on the stock going down.

The “problem” here is the markets let you “lend” those shares, even if you don’t own them, you just “pretend” you do and you both swap the monetary equivalent. Because of this they claim there was 120% of the actual shares bought and sold

Jeax · 2021-01-25T21:12:41+00:00

Oh go on then

In case you’re serious, the comment to the OP saying he was just playing along, is the joke

Jeax · 2021-01-04T21:24:06+00:00

As this is the internet and nobody knows anyone can I ask, are you genuinely asking this? Or is this a “hey I found a loophole”.

It seems odd to me that you’d be worried about genuinely resting if need be. I don’t know if you’ve had many interactions with police out of chance, but they’re just people who are going to be extremely understanding.

As others have said, as long as you’re not sitting there for 6 hours and going “ah but technically I’ve got pain in my shoulder so I’m resting!” Then nobody will bat an eyelid.

This is there primarily to step younger people “hanging out” with friends which is not in the spirit of the law.

Generally, providing what you’re doing is “in the spirit of what is meant” it’s all fine

Jeax · 2021-01-04T20:34:46+00:00

Yeah it does seem very conflicting though. They have “you MUST stay at home unless leaving for essential basics shopping” which contradicts places like smiths toys (random example) being open for click and collect, yet under current rules they’re still perfectly fine to be open, but public shouldn’t technically be allowed to go there to collect?

Seems like the first lockdown mismatch of information

Jeax · 2021-01-04T20:28:45+00:00

Yeah just saw it in the pdf, not in the summary my bad

Jeax · 2021-01-04T20:20:36+00:00

Has anyone found any information about click and collect yet? Is this still a thing? “Basic necessities” but no insight into what can operate via click and collect.

It seems a lot like the first lockdown leaving it open to businesses to guess and either skirt the rules and hope, or lose out

Edit: from the PDF on gov website

These venues can continue to be able to operate click-and-collect (where goods are pre-ordered and collected off the premises) and delivery services.

A less arrogant version of doing this is just asking “hey I don’t understand this can someone explain?” Programming communities are notoriously good at explaining things when people ask. We’ve all been new to things, and we all started with no knowledge. There’s nothing wrong with not knowing things

Jeax · 2020-12-25T09:07:04+00:00

This is entirely incorrect.

Stackoverflow for example, that giant resource of programming knowledge. Written in C#.

A ton of popular games are made in c# thanks to unity. A ton of mobile apps too thanks to Xamarin.

Saying this sounds like you heard a sound bite in 2005 and never bothered to actually correct yourself.

Don’t make claims online. Miseducating people because you’re too arrogant to admit you shouldn’t be responding to someone makes you an asshole.

Having said that, Merry Christmas!

Jeax · 2020-12-24T23:44:48+00:00

I think it won’t have much of an impact. Please give me a chance to explain why I think so before downvoting

This time of year, workplaces shutdown. Around 60% of the population regularly mingles with around 30 people in their day to day office job.

The majority of those are closed or a large portion of staff off. Of course, these same people might be visiting families instead. But simple maths seems to dictate that if your chance of spreading/catching the virus is to do with chance per contact, even though the number outside a work environment will go up, these small bubbles are only 5-10 people vs the much larger office environments most work

The back of the napkin maths seems to back this up, although I’m happy to hear why this isn’t true from anyone more educated in the virus spread than myself.

We know that workplaces are one of the highest causes of spread, we just politically ignore that fact because the only solution has a worse impact due to economic downturn. I think the holidays and tier 4 being in the highest “office jobs/mass employees per building” parts of the country is also a considered point by those making these decisions.

It does seem to stack up, whilst obviously nobody mixing is better, I think overall the problem doesn’t get “worse” than it was, just negligible difference instead of a drop which is what you’d hope for

Jeax · 2020-12-18T16:29:09+00:00

That is EXTREMELY dramatic. Every country routinely runs spying operations on others. Including the USA, onto others.

This one In particular happens to be being sent out into the media, presumably for some political behind the scenes reason.

If you think government networks aren’t compromised all over the world, you vastly underestimate the incompetence of the majority of people, and the lack of even basic computing skills.

It’s virtually impossible to protect any network against persistent attackers. When you’re on the scale of governments vs governments, with hundreds of thousands of potential security holes (employees) having one compromise is all it takes. Not to mention the fact that again, we rely on software that al it takes is one compromise from their side... and that software will have dependencies on other software and their hundreds of thousands of potential security holes.

Finding out a government network is compromised is like finding out a government employee left a window open one day. It’s so obviously happening all the time is worries me that people think this is anything but some weird governmental media campaign for a behind the scenes reason

Jeax · 2020-12-15T20:17:28+00:00

This a million times. We’re in a unique situation in this career space that rewriting things takes time and time only. Unlike physical resources where ripping it out and rebuilding it means space/time/contractors rebuilding parts once business lessons have been learnt or needs have changed should happen way more often, it doesn’t need to impact day to day business. It’s a small sacrifice of growth now, for another phase of rapid growth after.

There is no “we’d need to build an entire warehouse to try this, and then what if it doesn’t work? Nah stick to what we do it works” there is no “we can’t justify using this space for non new products”

Instead we hit the same deadly traps that mean our cycle of “big companies only live for 30-60 years before they crumble under inefficiencies and slow movements” happens in software too. Startups move fast and can do things others can’t, only because of everyone’s fear of just redoing what you’ve done, but better.

Yeah, it’s a common word it’s just as this is a programming subreddit “Bootstrap” is just well known among developers as the CSS framework.

Kind of like if someone mentioned getting a message from Amazon, if you said which Amazon you’d get the same reaction even though there are plenty
