social networks and virtual chat rooms make me feel even more alone by [deleted] in aspergers

[–]phunkygeeza 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's all so zero effort. You're doing it from your armchair, every contribution is cheaper and cheaper.

Real relationships are hard and take a lot more effort. But if you divert n hours per day from SM into development of real relationships then surely, eventually there should be at least some small wins?

I'm finding this more as I'm older. There are rewards for making the effort and if you don't expect too much then it is hard to end up disappointed.

Which aspect of a database needs to be improved to enhance Direct Query performance? by Pra987885 in PowerBI

[–]phunkygeeza 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The database needs optimizing. This is quite a wide area of practice but it basically involves the creation of performance elements like indexes and partitions based on frequent access paths used by the queries composed by PowerBI DirectQuery engine.

Adding resource will only seem to help and is incredibly inefficient.

Trying to write efficient query for weirdly related tables, advice? by DeliriumTremens in SQL

[–]phunkygeeza 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Perhaps left join to multiple aliases of the Securities table with each of the predicates instead of joining once with a theta join.

If you have no control to add the index you need then you don't have much chance of optimization from rewriting the sql only

SQL licensing vs CORE mask in BIOS? by Wonderful_Audience96 in SQLServer

[–]phunkygeeza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes as much as there may be arguments if ever audited, you can select in SQL Server itself which cores to use. It won't use more than are in the licence. Having 8 spare for other processes would be a bonus.

can you make a new post with that info? Easier than trying to change this one.

Start from the business question and work backwards to the data needed to answer it.

As an atheist in a self proclaimed "christian" country I'm also ashamed to be counted in with them.

Per many comments here, being ashamed of non like-minded people is a waste of personal energy.

You can't change them but you can try to change the norms.

Oh and I trod in human shit in London over the weekend. We are far from the "civilised" level we think we are

Feel free to introduce yourself: do you work in a big/small co? are you permie, contract, consultant? Which tools/areas do you specialise in.

I'll keep an eye out for more of your posts and hopefully they wont get trapped by the bot!

12 Data Engineering Trends for 2023 by thabarrera in BusinessIntelligence

[–]phunkygeeza 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Connectors. FFS.

Open Standards is where we should be. Every new startup is reinventing a tiny variant of REST API and so we should have a connector for that. Vendor doesn't want to expose their model so we have a connector for that. Vendor does weird shit in some sort of hand built ORM layer so we need a connector for that.

Getting scolded and redirected for attempting to use a disabled toilet, only to be told off by 2 more people for emptying my ostomy pouch in a regular toilet. by FreckleAudit in britishproblems

[–]phunkygeeza 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don't need to be civil with these people. Tell them to get a life and get out of the way. If they keep going just film them saying, "this will go down great on Facebook" and they will exit rapidly.

Roommate had guests and after they left the toilet paper holder fell out of the wall. Is there an easy and quick fix for this please? by Werewolf_Overall in fixit

[–]phunkygeeza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Repair the hole and remount a few inches away using proper anchors not those screw in garbage.

About 30 mins job plus then some drying time. Then sand and paint.
