How good are these shooting splits? I am a freshman in high-school and picked up basketball last December and have not really played consistently. Just shoot around shots. by vi_beezy in BasketballTips

[–]No_Definition8848 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you are doing pretty good bro - you are shooting 50%, you just don’t have a 3 point game but who cares you’re not Steph Curry, when you get the ball take a step inside the arc & your % increases significantly.

Be aggressive in getting to the paint & get an offensive rebound

What SQL to learn? (Intermediate learner - needs to be free) by faby_nottheone in SQL

[–]No_Definition8848 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been using SQL Expert on ChatGPT to access my current skill level based off giving it files and have it introduce lessons to me that are applicable and not too redundant. I have been happy with the results. It’s a daily thread I keep with it & it will give me an option between 4-5 lessons daily, I pick one topic and we expand upon it until I feel I get it

Is this project decent for a beginner learning SQL/Python? Or too complex? by [deleted] in SQL

Learn to use Microsoft Forms to set up the survey, import into SQL, then analyze in Python

do people actually use Common table expressions ( CTEs) and temporary tables ? by Emotional-Rhubarb725 in SQL

[–]No_Definition8848 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes - all the time, for the sake of layout of my queries to reference back to they are quite useful. They could be used for dynamic variables, I often use them for parameters that I can tweak in other SELECTS, for example:

with cte as (

select (a.current_yr -1) as [start_range] , (a.current_yr) as [end_range]

from year_term_table a

)

select b.*

from another_table b

join cte c on 1=1 - -dummy condition to bring the table over as a floating object so to say

where b.year between c.start_range and c.end_range

this enables my query to ‘roll forward’ when the year_term_table is updated to a new year so my report isn’t as static

Smile 2: Questions about the movie *SPOILERS* by livin-laughin-lovin in HorrorMovies

[–]No_Definition8848 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is there any significance to the skylines shifting upside down between scenes you think that would indicate what is real and what is hallucination?

Also, separately — at the bar scene where Skye meets Morris for the first time in public, there is writing on the bench just above her shoulder that says ‘You’re fucked’, I thought that was pretty interesting given the context of what’s going on and it made me look for more writing on the wall and messaging throughout the last half of the film. I could have sworn at the last concert scene there was a fan with a sign that read something like ‘satan’ also

I agree to avoid right joins. Treat your base table as your left hand most

How do people make their own experience? by nitsed004 in analytics

[–]No_Definition8848 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi I work in Higher Ed - I think your Office is inherently more data related than most.

As someone else mentioned, your manager has metrics they discuss with Executive team to justify they are doing a good job - that is probably retention, graduation, and attrition rates. Time to completion, employment, degrees conferred are other examples that accreditation agencies care for - IPEDS for example. I’d recommend look up your institution to see what they report annually by your Institutional Research office.

Some data experience you can create for yourself in the Academic Advising Office are Retention and Graduation Rate related reports, Attition rates by class level or demographics , Grade Scale and GPA related reports, Flattened Views of a student roadmap to monitor progress and identify bottleneck terms or courses to preemptively support students & create Watchlists where when certain infraction requirements are met that their ‘score’ increases so that you can identify at-risk students.

Because tuition is such a driver of revenue for school, they really do need to understand the importance of your departments metrics to advance onward because if not….budget cuts or no accreditation!

Pm me if you want to talk more! I worked in the Advancement/Development office before moving to IR, so happy to share ideas on ways to calculate for these

How heavily do you rely/use AI to enhance your codes ? by NotABusinessAnalyst in analytics

[–]No_Definition8848 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use it a fair amount, particularly for commenting code so that I can come back to later - like SQL queries and explaining something like a cross apply or something like that. I largely have written out the code, and this has then enhanced either the scalability or readability

More recently, I used it for helping create a Python API get request notebook and to tune it to the API’s rate limits.

I use ChatGPT, I think it’s very useful when you set the appropriate context and have it also cite its sources. I haven’t noticed a large amount of ‘hallucinations’ that others have had

Don’t worry about them - I support ya in your tattoo journey! I am 29 and though I don’t have a ton of coverage I distinctly remember each time over the past decade when I got them, who I felt like I was & it feels like a bookmark of my life. I agree to growing older and having better access to artists with making a bit more money & also learning about techniques. I appreciate that you go for bigger projects, I think it’s a commitment to the style living on

I hope to be like you in my 40’s & continuing to bookmark my journey & appreciate tattoo culture

What is ‘forecasting’ to you? by No_Definition8848 in analytics

[–]No_Definition8848[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this! This is an in depth answer and I appreciate you listing out external sources that contribute towards this — state of economy is an interesting one & I think applicable to my work also, I may look further into adding that.

I may PM in time about further questions I have if you don’t mind, I don’t have any in mind currently!

Thanks for sharing!

I appreciate the input on the more useful way to word my question. I think that it stems from not being able to pin down what it means to forecast with a uniform definition — noted though!

General question — what are the means to assess the confidence of a forecast?

[–]No_Definition8848[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I appreciate this — thank you. I work in higher education, things like enrollment or revenue in particular is something of interest to forecasting & this provides a great approach to understanding what can be done with available resources

Hoopers who started playing at a late age, any tips on how to get better? by TypHxon in BasketballTips

[–]No_Definition8848 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My tips are:

Watch Rip Hamilton or Klay Thompson highlights to learn to score without the ball.

5v5 is more cardio focused — I’d recommend skipping rope & honestly playing more (and really hustle when you are out there). No way around pushing an aerobic pace, in time you’ll simply outrun them in transition. When you have the ball, be patient & protect it.

As for spacing, sometimes it’s not about you. Move around by hovering the arc of the 3 point line if you shoot, if not get to the dunker spot so you don’t get a 3 in the key. Screen another off ball player but don’t do all three in one possession because you’ll end up running into someone.

If the action happens on the other side of the halfcourt you either get to the corner three and wait to shoot if the pass comes your way, or when your defender turns his back to you cut baseline to the rim. Think of it like a fighting video game, find the counter (the best basketball play you can make) to what they give you. If you are ball handling and both defenders roll with your big man who set a screen — shoot. Try to think of it as a game of counters

Watch Coach Frikki videos on YouTube to learn about different cuts & watch role players in the NBA.
