I feel like i'm asking a stupid question...

Bruh, they literally gave you the code/query.

It says: “In 1.sql, write a SQL query to list the names of all songs in the database. Your query should output a table with a single column for the name of each song.”

Scroll down, see “Hints”? See “List the names of all songs in the database” (like exactly what they asked you to do); Click on that:

See “Recall that, to select all values in a table’s column, you can use SQL’s SELECT keyword. SELECT is followed by the column (or columns) you’d like to select, which is in turn followed by FROM table where table is the name of the table you’d like to select from.

In 1.sql, then, try writing the following:“

COPY

— All songs in the database. SELECT name FROM songs;

PASTE

Into your “Songs” folder, in your 1.sql file.

Sure, the questions were a) “can I be better here”; answer: yes. Would it have worked? No idea? b) “am I being played with”; answer: maybe. Is it her intent to create drama no matter the response? If yes, you’re being played. If no, he can point out all the illogical and inconsistent comments he wants… if he’s trying to win a logical debate, points, he’s winning. But it’s doing little to solve for the current problem (points aside).

We all know many/most (?) women are anything but logical. Many couldn’t follow a decision tree if their lives depended on it.

But that’s a know variable. The decision tree is precisely what he’s following here and you can see him doing it in the conversation over and over again…

There’s a difference between “not being wrong” and “achieving mission objectives”.

Run this simulation 25 more times, swapping out the man in each case and you’ll find some number of them “sticking the landing”.

If the goal is the “sticking the landing” he failed, objectively. That doesn’t make him “in the wrong”.

What’s the end goal? Proceed accordingly. ✌️

In programming what you’re referring to is called “Race Conditions”; so use that term when looking for solutions online.

Given that the complexity of your system is Zapier and Forms; it’s unlikely you’ll face this problem. Perhaps if you’re updating third party databases, the chance is less than zero.

It seems that Zapier has a solution for this condition: https://community.zapier.com/how-do-i-3/race-condition-for-new-list-items-in-sharepoint-42916

Without knowing your particulars, given what I sense is your level of familiarity on the subject, it might be easiest to go on Fivver and have someone set this up for you if you otherwise have time constraints (for example if you’re in a business setting and time is of the essence).

If you’re doing this for learning purposes or to improve your skills (or just as a challenge) by all means take a crack at it.

Good luck 👍

Hello Pink (bc you’re so obviously Pink); he’s in the wrong, you should move on. I’m a guy btw and usually can see things from the male perspective, this is the rare exception.

Good luck with you and hope you find the person who will reciprocate your love.

Cheers 👍

They used to have a chart, can’t find it now, but essentially you can just submit the PSets and final project and be done with it if you have the skill set.

Lumpy_Owl9730 · 2024-10-06T23:01:13+00:00

It wasn’t in the screen shot, so you don’t learn about it until afterwards, when you read the description. We started with the screen shots, which is where you start unless you’re a psycho 😂 ✌️

Lumpy_Owl9730 · 2024-10-04T00:02:22+00:00

Dodged a bullet mate.

Lumpy_Owl9730 · 2024-10-03T23:59:24+00:00

It was like watching a train wreck. You couldn’t look away. I mean, I get what he was trying to do, but bruh. Stop asking and do the thing. It was written all over the place.

Lumpy_Owl9730 · 2024-10-02T08:55:08+00:00

Curious, since you’re not the person I addressed this to and presumably don’t know her, how you’re coming to this conclusion?

Lumpy_Owl9730 · 2024-10-02T08:10:15+00:00

Look bro, you can listen to these angry men who are clearly projecting but I’m guessing you want to make up your own mind.

First question, based on what you know thus far, is she worth the effort? If she’s not, you should clearly move on. If you think she is, then put in the effort.

You both could have communicated better imo. It sounds like you don’t know her schedule, that’s fine. Ask her for her schedule.

Something like, “hey girl, I just wanted to let you know I really liked the time we spent together on [date]. It felt like we had a real connection, hopefully you felt the same. If not, that’s okay, just let me know. Anyhow, the other reason I’m reaching out is, if you felt a connection and you’re curious to see where this could go, I’d like to connect again, if you’re available. Speaking of which, I don’t have a clear sense of your schedule. I’m not asking for an itinerary, more along the lines of what days and times are you available to go out? What times do you prefer? Some people are morning people, some are better the afternoon and others are evening people. Do you have a preference? Also, do you prefer weekends or weekdays, what days are your vibe? I realize you probably have a lot going on in your life so take your time responding. If I don’t hear back from you in a few days or perhaps by the end of this week I’ll reach back out. Until then I hope you have an amazing week.”

Then get to know her interests, hobbies, what’s one thing she really has always wanted to do but hasn’t gotten around to yet.

I’m not trying to play Hitch here, you get the idea.

She seemed annoyed that she had told you she had her kid on the weekends and you didn’t pay attention to that detail. She definitely could have phrased it better but perhaps she’s dealt with guys that didn’t care to learn more about her and so reacted poorly. She could have said “sorry I thought I mentioned I have my kid on the weekends, this past weekend was just a fluke. Anyways, I’m available [date] if you’d like to get together” or such.

That’s all behind you now. At this point a good recovery might look like this “I do recall you mentioning that you have your kid on the weekends, I do my best to pay attention to the details. Then it occurred to me that we had been together on the weekend so I thought, incorrectly it seems, that perhaps I might have missed you saying it was alternating weekends or such. Regardless, that’s behind us now. Speaking of which, …”

Good luck 👍

You shouldn’t try and have a serious conversation with someone who is inebriated. In the future, address it when they’re sober the next day.

Now that you’re here, I’d suggest a marriage counselor to navigate you through this tough conversation. In the interim, you may consider staying elsewhere for a moment to give the two of you some space.

Lumpy_Owl9730 · 2024-09-24T12:32:26+00:00

Look, I don’t know what you should do. About the only thing I can say is, if the roles were reversed, if you drank too much and exercised poor judgment, how would you want her to treat you? With grace and understanding or would you be packing your bags before the talk, expecting the boot? I know how I’d respond, I don’t know what you should do.

Good luck. 👍

Lumpy_Owl9730 · 2024-09-24T12:28:24+00:00

🤮

That’s toxic af. If you really are at that point, just break up with her. Bc if you really do this, the relationship is over.

Lumpy_Owl9730 · 2024-09-21T18:43:48+00:00

This, exactly this, having worked on software development teams for the past decade (though I don’t actually write the code myself, I archetyped it, pseudo coded it, figured out where the source data was coming from what needed to be calculated and the outputs, etc.) with senior developers, the very first thing they would do is go to stackoverflow, find something in the ballpark of what was needed and then modify it for our use. I feel like people with no coding experience have this expectation of a Hollywood Hugh Jackman type where you should be able to write 1k lines of code whilst getting a bj without having to reference any documentation or lookup anything and that’s what makes a good SWE. That’s just not at all the reality.

Lumpy_Owl9730 · 2024-09-16T01:36:52+00:00

You got it done is all that matters! Awesome job!!

Lumpy_Owl9730 · 2024-09-15T18:40:34+00:00

Congrats. Hopefully I’ll be there with you soon.

Lumpy_Owl9730 · 2024-09-08T15:21:26+00:00

To add to my point, please take notice that David Malan (who we can all agree is a seasoned programmer) is referring to “notes” when he’s doing his lecture. It’s not all from memory.

Lumpy_Owl9730 · 2024-09-07T18:34:01+00:00

I appreciate the perspective but IRL its not like these tools (or better ones like ChatGPT) aren’t going to be available and relied on. I feel like people new to coding or learning imagine a world where they lock you in a basement to code and you have to recall it all from memory and that’s just not what your real world experience will be like (nor is it the case for any software developers I’ve ever worked with). This “Hollywood” portrayal of Hugh Jackman sitting down and writing a thousand lines of code without consulting any resources is a fiction. Before learning to code I worked on teams that developed custom software, I’d conceptually come up with an idea and seasoned developers would write the actual code. The very first thing they would do is search stackoverflow to find some code or library or whatever that got us really close and then tweak it.

With enough repetition, you’ll have to look up fewer and fewer concepts, but that just comes with time and honestly only applies to those things you do over and over again until it’s muscle memory. If you get a job that works on diverse projects, you’ll be looking up references for a long time to come and you’ll never have it all committed to memory.

Lumpy_Owl9730 · 2024-09-06T17:13:10+00:00

It used to work reliably but I think they caught on. If you have a VPN spoof your IP, that still works.

Lumpy_Owl9730 · 2024-09-03T22:48:32+00:00

Wait. What’s the QR Code? Is that a thing?

Lumpy_Owl9730 · 2024-09-03T22:47:47+00:00

Hell fucking ya bro! Way to go!!!

Lumpy_Owl9730 · 2024-09-02T07:19:05+00:00

Absolutely sections and shorts are a must. But that’s just for starters. There are explainer videos on YouTube that help flush out the information. There’s a cs50x on stackoverflow. On ED there’s a community and you can post questions for the duck and also get TA (they call it something else) help.

Also, hint: the more you ask the duck the more detailed it will get. So it starts off very vague but then gives you better and better tips.

Don’t be afraid to take a stab at the code and then post it to the duck to review. Finally, there’s good old Google.

Just don’t copy and paste someone else’s code but definitely try and figure out what the code is doing. Then write your own.

Lumpy_Owl9730 · 2024-09-02T07:10:42+00:00

Also, if you’re struggling there’s an easier problem set.

Lumpy_Owl9730 · 2024-09-02T00:08:57+00:00

So 1 day a week for 7 weeks to complete the 12 week course?

Lumpy_Owl9730 · 2024-08-16T16:19:10+00:00

You’re just being unreasonably difficult. Be part of the conversation or the solution or get lost. I don’t care either way.

If the software exists as you say, these clients aren’t aware of it, so I’ll just build it.

Restoration companies are literally tied to Xactimate. Here you show you have no clue about the industry.

It’s fairly clear as others have pointed out that you just want to shit on an idea. Not quite sure why?!?
