Yeah, this is what I end up doing. SQL does all the heavy lifting, and python or M usually doing the rest. Though M can be soooo slow.

God, I’m so over SQL.

It’s great, but it is so old and shows it. Feels like 99% of my SQL queries are just cheese.

Works though, and quick.

Well, shit. That explains why we’ve been ghosted.

Every fucking deity; every time.

Friend’s colleague needed Excel to, “return the month where the majority of days in the week fall into”. Had Copilot do it and sent it to my friend, apparently impressed by making such a robust looking formula.

The formula:

My friend’s solution a minute later:

I can see it could be slimmed even less, but I assume the table is large so LET is doing performance stuff.

There’s also stoic bros now. Their brains have managed to connect alpha masculinity to stoicism. They’re like the viking bros where they gain security from people seeing them as enduring, dependable, and tough. They obviously have no idea of the philosophy in detail.

Mine will do the restart and boot into Linux.

Windows Updates are always like that. Halfway through it’s got to restart, bootloader picks Linux, Windows doesn’t get to finish the other half of its update til the next time it’s chosen.

Satisfaction.

“I’ll have none of that in this house! We’re good honest Christians and that’s that.”

Just talk absolute shit, like I do.

Oooh, fancy pants here with the fancy words.

You gotta eat and poo too.

…why would a professional whatever make a remark for technology doing their job for them and making their career redundant?

Farmer, coder, driver, whatever. “I can’t wait for the bots to do this” is not a common muttering. Except maybe if in the c-suite…

This is another fine example of where assumptions get you no where on the internet. My job isn’t coding but it requires knowing to do it well. If I exit the job market, as per your request, I cannot be replaced by a coder. Believe it or not, most jobs that require a coding skillset are not about coding. Crazy, right? 😲

You know he can’t wait to get home and try that shit out.

So often,

“Pssh. As I thought.”

Sometimes,

“Oh, wow.”

God, I’m so sick of coding. Please. Bring it.

As of right now though? 5-6 years fie the basics

Yeah, I dunno. I reckon you’re a husky owner who, whether you realise it or not, naturally fits with these kinds of breeds.

Spitz working dogs can (and honestly should) be a nightmare for the average household. But it’s fairly easy to meet their needs, and when they’re met, hey’re hands down the most loyal, intelligent, and rewarding dogs you can have. Don’t sell yourself short, I reckon you’re not lucky, you’re just a good husky owner.

The problem for huskies is they’re seen as the easy-access “cool wolf” looking dog. People don’t realise they’re part of a seriously wild working breed and forget their brains need constant challenges and proper jobs to do —, otherwise, they’ll go and invent their own.

I get a lot of praise for my lappies. People think their behaviour comes out of the box like that. Nooooope.They’re constantly given jobs and challenges. The enrichment from this is why they’re so well behaved and focused.

Edit: Also, can’t help myself…

🤣

No.

You can try get my Lapphunds inside if you want, they’ll just let themselves back outside to sleep in the snow all night. Huskies are no different.

My breed, and I would guess NA snow breeds are good to about -35C as well, or not far off. My dogs really start getting a pep in their step below -5. If there’s no snow, they’ll seek out concrete. Almost never do they use their beds.

There was an old Canadian show called Reaper or something. Funny scene where an employee spends their 15 min break watching her boss losing it as he paces around his car in the distance.

“What’s his problem?”

“I put a note on his windshield saying ‘Sorry I hit you car’ and I’ve just been watching.”

I dunno. I view my dogs as companions. Yeah, they need me to look after.them like they’re children, but I need them to take care of me in the wilderness, protect the house, cheer me up, entertain guests, tow me on the longboard.

There’s no association with them and a human child for me. If anything dog ownership has shifted my mentality into the symbiotic relationship of a pack. I think being stuck thinking of them as children would make for some very miserable times and bad behaviour from both the owner and the dog.

I have the confidence level turned down too but lately it doubles down on itself.

The usual conversation…

VI: “You could do this.”
Me: “That won’t work because XYZ.”
VI: “No, you can definitely do that. XYZ has nothing to do with it.”
Me: pastes it’s own suggestion in.
VI: “Almost, but that won’t work because of XYZ.”

It’s most notorious one is adding an s to Table.AddColumn() then proceeding to make a full snippet around this newly made up function. This specific example is so regular it’s become a joke at work for giving someone an unhelp response,

“What do you want to do for lunch today?”

“Have you tried table add columns?”
