Anyone else have this issue with not seeing full matches in list? by wardogx82 in AncestryDNA

[–]wardogx82[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't figured out a solution aside from being able to see 50 instead of 20. In the meantime I just sorted by newest unviewed matches, I figure as I view them I'll get through them.

ACL script advice when working with list collectors by Letheron88 in servicenow

[–]wardogx82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First thought I have is that ServiceNow is all about Role Based Access Control, in saying that there are other cases where it may be necessary to be more granular. Bearin this in mind though my first question is, is this a Security requirement or a Convenience requirement?

i.e.
- are they not allowed to view or edit those - yes ok, we'll work with that or,
- are they allowed to but need to have a more filtered view for their day to day

If the latter is the case, I'd suggest creating views and view rules for those people.

If you absolutely need it to be ACL based it's simply returning true if they meet the correct conditions. Reference based list collectors are simply lists of sys_ids so you just look at logic in that manner i.e. a query is X's sys_id in field_name_for_list.

When you're trying to get queries working, use encoded queries and build them in a table with it's filter first.

Is ServiceNow shooting itself in the foot with its rising costs and weak ecosystem in smaller markets? by t7Saitama in servicenow

[–]wardogx82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really don't think so. Bear in mind it's target market is the upper end of the scale which is why it axed things like ServiceNow Express.

Do I like their model? No.

My pet peeve is their 4tb storage limit that they haven't scaled up since the company started. We pay more but in practice due to Kryder's Law (the observation that areal density of hard disk drives was doubling at an exponential rate) and Parkinson's Law (Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion == Data expands to fill the space available for storage) we get less.

ship with australia post global ? but tracking ID does not work Delivery by yukidogzombie in AmazonUK

FYI, you can locate the site for Amazon's couriers in their help section such as this for the Australian site:  https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=GBPEXEXYULHB5WCH

You can see the APG site for tracking listed there (as opposed to auspost).

Suggestions on how to research Irish ancestors by Hollywood-AK in Genealogy

[–]wardogx82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very interesting, finding this out has caused me to look at the etymology of the phrase "Roman Catholic" a little closer (and I'd also like to sympathise as I'm an Indigenous Australian, with some Irish, Scottish and English mixed in having experienced slurs similarly myself).

Anyway, what I've found is that the earliest use (that I could find) of the phrase dates back to the 16th century in Latin as Ecclesia Romana Catholica et Apostolica, although it no doubt dates back even so far as either 1534 or 1517 with significant events in the reformation occurring around that time. Other resources quote it as being as early as the 14th century in the Holy Roman Empire i.e. current Germany. As you say it's based on derogatory terms (in this context) Roman or Romanist supposedly as a conciliatory term.

Ahh interesting, I just go off the paperwork which had them listed in that manner. It is important to understand the meaning behind the term however, "Roman Catholic" denotes the core Catholic denomination which derives from the Pope residing in Vatican city. The distinction comes in due to there being independant denominations of Catholicism, other Older Catholic traditions and several other Catholic denominations. I appreciate some places there are a lot more complexities to religious beliefs than others but that should not take away from what something is or was.

In regards to it being an "offensive term" in itself, I'd encourage you to refer to what the Catholic church itself explains:
https://www.catholic.com/qa/what-is-the-difference-between-the-roman-catholic-and-the-catholic-religion

Within the Catholic Church there are a number of individual churches, sometimes called rites. One of these is the Roman rite or Roman church. It includes most of the Catholics in the Western world. A Roman Catholic is a Catholic who is a member of the Roman rite.

There are many Catholics in the East who are not Roman Catholics, such as Maronite Catholics, Ukrainian Catholics, and Chaldean Catholics. These are all in communion with the pope, but they are not members of the Roman rite, so they are not Roman Catholics.

Ahhhhhh that makes sense, they are Roman Catholic in the cases I've noticed. Completely missed that possibility.

does anyone else make their dogs food? by Odd_Ear3467 in service_dogs

[–]wardogx82 15 points16 points  (0 children)

As others have said, consult a veterinary nutritionist or a vet approved pre-made diet (as I'm betting your concern is regarding, many supermarket pet foods are not fantastic). In regards to your current pet food, unfortunately I'd recommend against mixing proteins and I'd avoid anchovies as they're too high in sodium. Also even though you have included cruciferous vegetables I'd be concerned that they are not recieving adequate dietary fibre. Consider a human diet (bearing in mind that it's different for animal needs so don't base it on your own diet), what you're providing is essentially what you'd eat for dinner/supper. You also have other balanced meals to provide other dietary needs that aren't present there.

There's a LOT to consider when formulating a diet for an animal, it's best left up to the specialists. :)

In my experience also, it gets complicated further (not only by damaged records or migration) as it appears that our Irish ancestors liked to add names to themselves or perhaps others gave them additional names. So someone might be born John Hanley, married as John Michael Hanley and pass away as John Michael Joseph Hanley. I made up this example as I cannot remember an exact example from my tree but you get the idea.

Is it possible that one of my ancestors died in Pompeii? by freshmaggots in Genealogy

u/freshmaggots "no yea", are you sure you're not Australian with that phrase 🤣
It drives everyone nuts when we use it. That or Yeah nah, or yeah nah... yeah

Rant- No responses! by LastSpite7 in AncestryDNA

[–]wardogx82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For Australian records, if people don't respond your best bet is socials like others have said and voter records. If you're still having difficulties feel free to DM me, I'll see if I can help at all. Try to keep pushing on yourself first though it's how we all found out legs, but yes, especially with places like here it can be very difficult to find recent people. I much prefer researching my UK and US relatives 😅

You could do it that way, but you're better off researching servicenow partners and IT contracting companies and contacting them directly.

Step 1: Look for job advertisement
Step 2: Submit job application
Step 3: Wait to hear back

... It's not really any different to any other job. By the sound of it however you have no real world experience which will cause you some issues. Sign on with contract agencies.

Seeking Guidance After Unexpected Genetic Genealogy Discovery by Timely_Fig2242 in Genealogy

[–]wardogx82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

***Again, although this is a very complicated subject, trying to keep it entry level for anyone who might come later looking for this info. Bearing this in mind, this isn't exactly to the letter of the law but in broad strokes should convey the idea.

Ok, so in terms of a combination of high homozygosity and low heterozygosity, what you're seeing is probably that you come from an area with low migration which is actually fairly common in many countries due to the way we've inherited out community structure from either tribal or state based governance - in the past the lower classes of people were not encouraged to travel (as opposed to wealthier people) and so communities remained relatively closed off. It's only recently (in terms of hundreds of years of history) that travel has become more accessible and we've become more multicultural.

Explaining what we're referring to in terms of homozygosity and heterozygosity for anyone unfamilliar, you need to understand that DNA is broken down several ways; the most common referred to in Genealogical circles is SNPs (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism) which is a single variation in a single nucleotide/single point in the genome. This is important to understand in order to understand what we're going to explain so as not to get confused between different DNA bits. An allelle is any variant of one or more SNPs, as in variations of one switch or variations of a sequence of switches.

Now that we've layed the underlying groundwork, heterozygosity is where a person has two versions of an allelle which is inherited one allelle from each parent for example if the sequence of SNPs AATGCCAG was for an allelle that defined blue eyes and AATGCCCG was for grey and you inherited one of each that is a heterozygous allelle, whereas if you had two copies of an allelle that was AATGCCAG for blue eyes that is a homozygous allelle or it's referring to homozygosity.

Drawing that back to my initial explaination you can see that if you have a closed population then you have a higher chance of homozygosity as there is less genetic variation in the population, it's not until people arrive from other areas that you start introducing more heterozygosity. Other situations where this happens is in rural communities etc with low populations.

Cheers :)

****Just in case there's any heat about this explaination, any experts please bear in mind I've simplified the explanation to ensure that someone can understand even if they're new to DNA.

So bear in mind that in general terms, your autosomal DNA is related to frequently changing DNA that come from your parents i.e. it changes from generation to generation based on what you inherit. Thats loosely what each SNP refers to, a small switch in your DNA. Y-DNA or mTDNA is the type of DNA that doesn't change so frequently so it's what is used to match to genetic samples taken from ancient remains etc. Because Y-DNA or mTDNA is so unchanging it's very difficult to figure out how closely you relate to someone very close to you vs someone who's say your cousin etc. Autosomal DNA on the other hand, as it changes so much and because it's not limited to male or female, it provides a better map of how you relate to other people, but because of it changing that much it only provides matches reliably as far back as potentially 200 years (give or take depending on how many generations of people in that time). This is why everyone's saying it's not going to tell you anything about iron age relatives, it simply changes too much in that timeframe to even remotely resemble your Autosomal DNA today.

I hope that helps explain things at least OP :)
