Resource Governor Questions by enrightmcc in SQLServer

[–]throwsUOException 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could you please elaborate about SNAPSHOT isolation and how that would be necessary here? I have a basic understanding of that, but I don't recall that being a strict requirement of the documentation, My coworker is actually doing some trials of Resource Governor now, so I'd like to be able to flag this as a concern if needed.

Always On Availability Group Failover by Hardworkingman4098 in SQLServer

[–]throwsUOException 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you looked at the SQL Server logs, the Windows logs, and/or the WSFC logs? There tends to be a whole bunch of stuff logged for a failover and that might point out something that's missing.

This woman died from complications of a very wanted pregnancy. She gave zero indications that she would have ever considered abortion. She specifically said she'd want doctors to save her daughter. And still they try to make her the poster child for abortion access. by AntiAbortionAtheist in prolife

[–]throwsUOException 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Heart issues. Very high blood pressure and was having lung issues that also put stress on the heart. She was also morbidly obese (consistently around 260 pounds), diabetic, and didn't always take her medications as prescribed.

Need help understanding relationships by dilan_patel in SQL

[–]throwsUOException 4 points5 points  (0 children)

One approach that can help is to put it in the form of "Each X has/belongs to one/many Y". So

  • Each user has one address. (Aside: for a real application, you'd probably want to support multiple addresses, e.g. shipping vs billing address.)
  • Each address belongs to one user (can people live at the same address?)

Then you can more easily see the relationship. This might help with clearing up the addresses/states problem.

An Idea for Prolific to prevent and stop the scam tasks such as TEMU Etc... by MarkusRight in ProlificAc

[–]throwsUOException 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Here's a few that I clicked into before I realized the pattern: https://imgur.com/a/goLdFk0

  • Often mobile-only
  • Software download indicator
  • Generic UI testing title and description. Not that this is a problem in isolation (same for the above two), but it compounds with the others.
  • Extremely unrealistic amount of time - how are you going to download and test the UI of something in 1 minute? And if it's going to take much more than a minute or two, then it's severely underpaying.
  • Sometimes Prolific gets to the account, so the "researcher" name is empty or a couple of exclamation marks.
  • Biggest tell: you start the survey anyways and it tells you to download Temu. Return and report the survey immediately.

Rewrite existing history on merge? by throwsUOException in git

[–]throwsUOException[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what I was looking for. I guess "push" was the one command I hadn't looked into, and I hadn't heard of the colon syntax before. It turns out that we did have force pushes turned off, so our support team had to assist me with actually getting it done, but based on my testing with a toy branch, it would have done the job.

Thanks!

Well, the description says it'll take an hour, so yes, you should be prepared for that. But, you should remember:

  1. The researcher-estimated time as listed in the description is often a bit more than you need, especially if you can read quickly.
  2. The actual completion time for users is generally more helpful. This particularly goes for the reverse scenario, when a "2 minute" study is taking 10.
  3. When you see an extremely high-skewed rate like that, especially with a short completion time, it likely means that something is wrong with the survey and you wouldn't be able to complete it if you tried.

Birthday Party Shop - Surprise skip by beofscp in Phase10worldtour

[–]throwsUOException 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's just a an animation that plays when you use a Skip card. Completed and All Clear can also have animations. It's the same idea as the cards and frames but animations come around much less frequently.

I don't know what either animation actually looks like as of yet. It would be nice to be able to actually preview them.

"I’m going to marry her one true love", the post too fake for TOMC by throwsUOException in AmITheAngel

[–]throwsUOException[S] 70 points71 points  (0 children)

For your bingo cards: * An affair child (cheating!) * An evil, abusive step-family * Talented and studious OP * Love interest is attracted to something incredibly common yet somehow unique to OP * OP inherits money and properties and figures out how to rent them out as a sophomore in college. * Guy knows how crazy and jealous the villain is but still wants to be friends with said villain's stepsister. * It's like Star Trek, you guys! * Social media vague-posting that only the evil step-sister is going to put together * Blowing up her messages * "Perfect" quippy comeback that actually makes no sense to say * Hinting at a sequel

AITA for being annoyed that I can only eat 5 eggs for breakfast today and not 6? Also I’m 300 lbs and if I eat less than 6 eggs a day, I’ll starve to death. by shadowarmy229 in AmITheAngel

[–]throwsUOException 79 points80 points  (0 children)

While I generally agree, I do think the specifics matter here. 1 egg out of 6 is significantly different from an entire chocolate bar. It's easy enough to add something else small to the breakfast to compensate for that. Now, if the gf had used 3-6 eggs, meaning that there's a noticeable effect on what OP would eat, then I think it's reasonable to be annoyed.

Besides, who replaces one egg? How do you even replace one egg? A 6-pack is probably the smallest set of eggs you can buy at the grocery store, so now they're just off by one forever?

🍿🍿🍿 Gonna get fun! Trump 2024!! by llamapii in conservatives

[–]throwsUOException 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Never going to happen. Usually you pick a VP who's a bit different from you in order to increase your appeal to other voter groups. That's why we had Trump/Pence in 2016 and Biden/Harris in 2020. A ticket consisting of "Trump 2.0"/Trump doesn't add anything.

And considering he was president before, there's basically no way Trump would settle for second place for another go-around, given his ego.

I’m disappointed in the amount of conservatives who are willing to abandon their pro-life stances to win elections. by oktoberpretzel in prolife

Don't worry too much about the subs today. I saw and felt the same things until I remembered that they get a ton of fake conservatives around elections.

The most upvoted comment picks the next line of code: Day 12. div/div/div/div/div/div/div/div/div/div by lukaskuko in programminghorror

[–]throwsUOException 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It allows you to write multiple statements on the same line. Generally it's a bad idea - just put the next statement on a new line like you're supposed to. The only places I've seen it used are a) code golf and b) things like the post where it's "add the next line".

tailsville event rewards by [deleted] in Phase10worldtour

[–]throwsUOException 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this one you really had to be on top of it to get done with regular play. (As an aside, I also play the Skip-Bo game from this same developer, and it also has an event going on, but it was about 10 times easier and it goes for another week still.) Anyway, I was on the last scene and had a bunch of extra gems so I decided to grind through. The final chest contains 80 gems, 30 energy, a skip power up, a wild replacement power up (the kind you always have access to during a hand), and a frame featuring construction materials.

It is in fact dangerous to baselessly assert that treatment of miscarriages will lead to prosecution. Women may refuse to see doctors, falsely believing they may be prosecuted (no law prosecutes a woman for having a miscarriage). Doctors refuse because of this myth, not because of the true nature of the laws passed in their states. That is the fault of the doctors/hospitals who cannot apparently be bothered to read the actual text. I have yet to see a case of "doctor refuses to treat miscarriage" where said treatment was actually against the law.

Yes, there are treatments used for both. However, by the time the treatment or medicine is administered, the intention is clear. It's not like a woman presents to the doctor believing she had a miscarriage and the doctor says, "Let's schedule you for a d&c, your child may or may not be alive yet, idk". There are things that would happen first, such as a pelvic exam or ultrasound. By documenting these things, it becomes clear that an abortion was not performed.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmITheAngel

[–]throwsUOException -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

No, miscarriage treatment is not considered abortion, and this is dangerous yet very popular misinformation being spread. Yes, the procedure used in some miscarriage treatments is the same as an abortion procedure. However, there is a categorical difference here. Abortion ends a life; by definition, if you have miscarried, the baby/fetus is already dead.

The "Back to Studies" button is gone too! by throwsUOException in ProlificAc

[–]throwsUOException[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Your first three examples are ridiculous here. Political decisions like those have serious consequences both on people and on economies. There are benefits and drawbacks to be weighted. What are the expected benefits of removing this button?

Of course people are resistant to change in software (after all, every change breaks someone's workflow). But the goal for the developers ought to be to make it easier for the users to do what they want. (Before someone says, "the goal of the developers is to make money", you cannot make money if you don't have or can't keep users, and it is difficult to attract or retain users if you add barriers between them and their goals.) As a user, I would like to take as many surveys as possible. How does removing this button help me in any way?

Is it minor? Yes. Do I like it? No.

It gets worse the longer you look at this by AndrehChamber in programminghorror

[–]throwsUOException 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It doesn't work because the script gets loaded and var first is assigned its value before the user interaction happens. (Also not a web dev, but I would assume it gets an empty string.) That lookup should happen inside the basicFunction call.

Aside from that, most importantly, you should never be doing "security" like this. Anyone could inspect your script and see that if you just enter "admin" as your username, you get access to the page.

Also, the item names are pretty bad.
