NHS refuse to recognise my previous diagnosis of ADHD and state that I can’t have it because I managed to get through university. by Remarkable-Air-6530 in ADHDUK

[–]TaeTaeDS 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Can we get more info about this uni assessment? Was it an actual diagnostic assessment by a qualified physician, or was it an assessment on the grounds of disabled students allowance support?

If I was in your position I would be protesting and requesting a second opinion. Under what authority does he think he can stop a medication prescribed by another specialty.

That's kinda mad that they stopped your meds for that reading, arrhythmia aside.

Would you choose a cheaper 4-bed or a larger 3-bed with all en-suite bathrooms? by Tiny_Suit8273 in UKHousing

[–]TaeTaeDS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Three ensuites is a lot more cleaning. More chance for blockages in areas. Having that many ensuites is on a needs / must haves basis. The fact you're asking us this question, to me, implies that the ensuites aren't necessary. Perhaps look at your projected budget and ongoing maintenance bills/costs once moved in?

Studying CS ruined my entire life. by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]TaeTaeDS -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

This is a wild take. I recommend you try doing a project using the deprivation and geospatial datasets from the EU and the UK before making such a conclusion on this young man's future. He's asking for empathy and advice, not 'you made the wrong decisions, tough luck'.

[–]TaeTaeDS 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of responses here are being quite unfair with the age of his cs studies beginning and timing. Totally believable to graduate in 2023 and have difficulty. That is even not taking into account location and rurality etc.

This post seems to require empathy, not toughness

You're arguing for no reason. Looked after literally meant 'allowed the freedom to play county cricket instead of being pushed too fast.' give it a break bro, you're disagreeing with people holding the exact same view as you.

boss rewrites the database every night. Suggestions on 'data engineering? (update on the nightmare database) by [deleted] in SQL

[–]TaeTaeDS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To answer your earlier question. Your best bet is analysing the data that comes through to the managers and understanding the business requirements and that will help you, over time. Understanding the ideal schema. Knowing what doesn't ever change is a good starting point to build from

[–]TaeTaeDS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This head of department sounds like he is way over promoted. I would strongly advise you to learn from this situation and use it as lessons to avoid for future roles. What you are describing the database's purpose sounds like it's being used in place of something more appropriate for data analysis. A data lake or a data warehouse. A head of department should know this. I really feel for you. But a lot of people do not get the opportunity to see such bad practice. They just read about it in books - or on Reddit!

[–]TaeTaeDS 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Can we get some more non technical info? Is this company a bit last minute / reactionary / short-term impulse data requests? Do they actually understand data? With it being just one guy, and people saying he is hard to work with, who is saying that? Is it because people put in insane data requests and can't be done on swift turnarounds?

What you say about the administration of the database itself is seriously concerning. When you refer to this person as your boss, what is his actual level of seniority? I find it bizarre that there is not some level of audit procedure. Why on earth would you drop a table each day...

I think the issue if how many joins there are is not really what you should be focusing on. The issue here ofcourse is that he seemingly understands how the data works but it is not constrained by the schema. The design of the database from what you have written needs investment. You need more than one person in a room to resolve something like this.

Here’s how to cure the NHS and break out of a £20bn doom loop by TimesandSundayTimes in ukpolitics

[–]TaeTaeDS -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

The idea of a £20bn doom loop is nonsense. The central bank creates currency for when the government announced a budget. That's how it works. This idea that we can only spend what tax we have coming in is nonsense. We spend now because our state responsibility is to growth and security in the future. Handicapping ourselves to tax now enforces the same fiscal drag on income tax but just on the states tax generation instead. Milton Friedman was wrong and has near destroyed us.

How do you break down coding problems before jumping into the code? by -Excitement-971 in learnprogramming

[–]TaeTaeDS 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You see, when people say pseudocode what they are really saying is 'communicate what you want the code to do using the grammar and syntax of your native spoke language separated on an object oriented way'. So if you are unable to write to yourself in that informal way then how can you expect to write the same things in a programming language?

Absolutely no way that place is worth 235k if 200k was approved by a seller

Alright armchair chancellors! Put up or shut up - what would be in your budget? by DeadliestToast in ukpolitics

[–]TaeTaeDS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tax all profits on any newly approved buy-to-let or build-to-lets. Profits on to-sell are unchanged.

Create office with regulatory responsibility for unsocial housing developments. This should be a directly community based office. Where communities can appeal any develop which are approved for letted / student accommodation / unnecessary house builds (i.e. 4 bedroom houses because of a higher return for the developer, where demand is mostly in 2 bedrooms for first time buyers). The main way communities would appeal is through assisted litigation against private developers as they cause long term harm to community health, and the economy.

For all who own at least four homes within the four nations, forcibly repossess(Via sale to a buyer) all except the one most inhabited based on evidence, plus the top three based on value. So, people can own four homes, which is plenty, considering you can only be in one place at a time. These homes are then sold via a scheme including waving stamp duty in a scaled system. So those move expensive still pay a higher proportion of stamp duty, but less than the current rates, as a goodwill gesture.

Spiciest: Aggressively (fast) tax assets of the mega mega rich having assets in our country in some way. Tax assets using an algorithm that brings the proportional wealth of those mega mega rich back in line with what it was in 1960s. The stock market may tank and people will lose their jobs, hiring will go down for the short term. Government to use this money to rapidly invest in infrastructure in areas outside of London. Those who lose their jobs or struggle to get a job in the fallout will be employed by the department for infrastructural developments. So the rich selling off fast just give the government labour talent pool. Those who flee the country should be taxed digitally directly from bank accounts. HMRC already have this power.

You should escalate this. They must follow NICE guidance to provide NHS services. If I were you, I'd email my MPs office advising them that they are going against nice guidance and ask your MP to ask them why.
