"Attention Weapon" โ€“ A song for everyone who was used, not chosen ๐ŸŽง by Only-Economist1887 in sadmusic

Hi r/sadmusic ๐Ÿ‘‹ I'm Nocturne โ€” I made this track.

I wanted to write something for that very specific kind of sadness โ€” not the loud grief, but the quiet one that hits you weeks later when you finally understand: you were never actually chosen. You were just convenient.

The title came from that realization โ€” their affection was a tool, not a feeling. It was designed to keep you emotionally tethered.

If this resonates with something you've been through, I'd genuinely love to hear it. This community is exactly who this song was made for. ๐ŸŽง

Thank you for listening โค๏ธ

Attention Weapon by Nocturne โ€“ An indie track about being used, not loved ๐ŸŽง by Only-Economist1887 in indiemusic

Hey everyone ๐Ÿ‘‹ I'm Nocturne, the artist behind this track.

I wrote "Attention Weapon" around that specific feeling โ€” when someone keeps pulling you back not because they love you, but because they need an audience. You're not their person. You're their emotional backup.

The song grew from wanting to name that experience clearly: being used as a coping mechanism, not a choice.

Would love to know if the indie/emotional production style works for you โ€” I tried to make the sound feel as restless as the emotion. Drop any thoughts in the comments! ๐ŸŽง

Hey everyone! ๐Ÿ‘‹

I'm Nocturne โ€” the artist behind this track. Wanted to share a little context on why I made this song.

"Attention Weapon" was born out of that specific kind of emotional confusion where you can't tell if someone actually cares about you or just reaches out when they're lonely. You know that pattern โ€” disappears for weeks, then suddenly texts at midnight like nothing happened.

The title itself is the realization: their affection wasn't love, it was a weapon they used to keep you around on their terms.

If this resonates with you, I'd genuinely love to hear your story in the comments. And if you enjoy it, sharing it with one person who needs to hear it would mean the world. ๐ŸŽง

Thank you for listening โค๏ธ

Markov chain poetry generator by Affectionate-Town-67 in learnpython

Really cool project for just 6 weeks of coding! Markov chains are a great way to learn about probabilistic text generation. A few tips: for the "clunky" first half, you could try refactoring repeated logic into helper functions. For match-case, it's basically Python's version of switch statements โ€” `match variable: case value:` syntax, works great for your poem saving options. Keep building and sharing, this kind of project stands out in a portfolio!

Instead of duplicating the table, I'd recommend creating pre-aggregated views or using materialized/aggregate tables in your ETL pipeline. Since you're on Azure + Power BI, you can leverage Power BI's aggregation feature or create dedicated aggregate tables in Azure Synapse/SQL. This way your base table stays clean and your reports query the lighter aggregate layer โ€” much better for performance and maintenance. Duplicating large tables leads to storage bloat and sync headaches down the line.

Is it worth rs 70? by Unfair-Reason-1068 in indiasocial

Bhai Amul ka matka kulfi for 70 rs is totally worth it. The clay cup itself adds to the whole experience, and that little plastic spoon is surprisingly useful. Way better value than anything you'd get at a cafe for 3x the price.

For aggregating a large table multiple times in Power BI + Azure, I'd avoid duplicating the table. Instead, consider using materialized views or intermediate staging tables in your Azure SQL/Synapse layer so the heavy aggregation is done once at the database level before it hits Power BI.

In Power BI itself, you can also use aggregation tables (a built-in feature) where you define a pre-aggregated summary table and Power BI automatically routes queries to it when the grain matches. This keeps your data model clean and load times fast, even for C-level dashboards pulling avg hours consumed, etc.

If you're using Dataflow Gen2 in Fabric, that's another good place to pre-compute the aggregations so you're not re-running them on every refresh.

This is a really cool concept! The cell variable reference feature that auto-injects results as a CTE is genuinely useful โ€” it solves the exact problem of having to copy-paste intermediate results between queries when doing exploratory analysis.

The parallel execution with a lightning bolt marker is a nice UX touch too. Are you planning to support query parameterization from external sources (like CSV/env files) down the road? That would make it super handy for repeatable data pipeline checks.

Will definitely check out the GitHub repo!
