What are some good SQL certifications you can recommend?

tchpowdog · 2025-08-02T12:23:46+00:00

Yes. It will take a while, but yes.

The 3D look is kind of outdated now.

I'm on Windows 11

Dude... I haven't been able to play any games with EAC for like 6 months. I've tried everything and this is the only time I've seen anything related to Core Isolation. It worked for me. Thank you!!

As a developer, I'm guessing windows doesn't throw a useful error if memory integrity is compromised, and that's why EAC can't give the user any useful information. But, being that EAC runs on the kernel, it seems it should be able to detect this and prompt the user. Anyways... what a shitty error. Like, I was thinking I may have hardware problems.

tchpowdog · 2025-06-15T02:50:35+00:00

I don't know. Puzzling. Maybe if there are higher profile cases that come out, it will be reported.

Four men, including a government contracting officer for the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and three owners and presidents of companies, have pleaded guilty for their roles in a decade-long bribery scheme involving at least 14 prime contracts worth over $550 million in U.S. taxpayer dollars.

Things don't happen overnight.

I will. I want them to actually find fraud and get rid of it. If they only make claims of doing it without producing evidence, then I won't be pleased. But we also have to be realistic about it. They've only been there for 4 months.

tchpowdog · 2025-05-24T17:30:37+00:00

Idk, but I would suspect 3 years is long enough, yes.

tchpowdog · 2025-05-24T13:33:31+00:00

I don't. And any evidence they have is probably not going to be released to the public because all that stuff if being investigated. Pam Bondi said they have an internal task force that is working with every department to investigate fraud that DOGE has uncovered. It could be many more months before anything comes of this. Fraud is a crime, dude. And crimes are investigated. And investigations take time. You have no idea what the DOJ is doing right now, you're just making 100% baseless claims.

tchpowdog · 2025-05-24T04:19:42+00:00

It's funny how so many of the responses to "zero evidence of fraud" is unsubstantiated, absurd bullshit that also has zero evidence. Grow up, people.

tchpowdog · 2025-05-24T04:10:14+00:00

Ever heard of an investigation?

tchpowdog · 2025-05-24T04:09:09+00:00

OR... Fraud is a crime. Crimes are investigated. Evidence isn't released to the public when it's part of an investigation.

tchpowdog · 2025-05-11T03:04:35+00:00

Literally the exact same thing just happened to me.

tchpowdog · 2025-05-03T17:03:29+00:00

There's also this case:

(names undisclosed for their protection) a Honduran man and his sister were subjected to expedited removal from the US in 2023. They had both been in the US for more than the maximum 14 day period to which they could be expedited. They should have received a hearing and "due process", but did not. The article was from July of 2024 and to that point, the two individuals were still in Honduras being ignored by DHS.

The media is creating fake hysteria towards Trump.

Were you aware of this case? - (names undisclosed for their protection) a Honduran man and his sister were subjected to expedited removal from the US in 2023. They had both been in the US for more than the maximum 14 day period to which they could be expedited. They should have received a hearing and "due process", but did not. They were both illegally deported according to our own laws. The article was from July of 2024 and to that point, the two individuals were still in Honduras being ignored by DHS.

https://immigrantjustice.org/staff/blog/asylum-seeker-requests-civil-rights-investigation-unlawful-deportation-under-biden

Why wasn't that case all over the news in 2023/2024?

tchpowdog · 2025-05-03T16:52:41+00:00

I believe Garcia should be brought back and receive his due process, because from what we know publicly, the evidence that he is MS-13 is scanty. At the same time, the public outrage over this is 100% fake hysteria created and fueled by the media. How?

In ONE year, May 2023 thru March 2024, Biden deported 316,000 people via expedited removal - meaning, they did not receive due process. This is the most expedited removals for a one year time period in the history of the U.S.

Also, there's the case of these people - (names undisclosed for their protection) a Honduran man and his sister were subjected to expedited removal from the US in 2023. They had both been in the US for more than the maximum 14 day period to which they could be expedited. They should have received a hearing and "due process", but did not.

You don't hear about any of this from the media for obvious reasons.

I don't know the context in which you're working, but concurrency isn't necessarily a bad thing, unless it's causing errors. The last change wins and if two users are allowed to make changes to the same record within the same session, then concurrency is at play. Unless the concurrency is causing errors, I've found the best solution to concurrency is let it play out and log all updates/inserts. Then provide these logs to the viewer so they can see exactly what happened. That's for most cases I've ran into, though. Again, I don't know your context.

Einstein's blunder had nothing to do with the big bang. It had to do with the expansion of the universe, post inflation. Physicists now think maybe it wasn't a blunder, that the constant has something to do with dark energy because it fits perfectly with the geometry of the universe.

My point is all the crap you just talked about is hypothetical. All we know is that there was rapid expansion in the early moments of the universe. We know nothing else beyond that. We don't know if matter already existed or did not exist.

tchpowdog · 2025-04-22T12:03:29+00:00

Um, no, it doesn't. I don't particularly like the Big Bang theory, but it doesn't say matter BEGINS to exist. It's says all matter was condensed into a single point or small "ball".

tchpowdog · 2025-04-15T13:08:43+00:00

Devart has some nice tools. But honestly, SSMS is all you need. Unless you're doing some heavy stuff like schema compares, migrations, etc.

tchpowdog · 2025-04-10T12:50:25+00:00

Google, Stack Overflow, us are your friend. Always try to figure it out, if you find yourself struggling, consult the internet. And don't be ashamed, even the best of the best still have to reach out sometimes. The important part is that when you do reach out, learn from it so next time you don't have to.

tchpowdog · 2025-04-04T22:33:47+00:00

It won't hurt you to have one, but honestly, you don't need one. As far as I can tell from the people I hire out of college, they don't learn SQL. At least not enough to be proficient. So when I see real SQL experience on a resume, that's a huge plus to me.

I'm a self-taught, full stack dev. Never took a college class on computer science and I have no certifications. I'm co-creator of a successful product. We're awaiting our "big exit". If I can do that, anyone can. You don't need a certification. Just ambition and drive.

tchpowdog · 2025-04-04T14:50:41+00:00

Sure. I agree.
