I donโt know whether this means heโs ending the Mr Weatherman channel, but he has not posted a video in a few days.
I will share this with #sonTwo and his wife, so we can look for an alternative channel if needed. -

Spent hours trying to figure out why the automatic sandbox refused to accept my assignment. It turned out that one field was supposed to be named count_int, but I had named it count_in and couldn't see the difference.
.
The "hint" function told me that my field names were wrong, but every time I looked, they looked correct. Finally, their Ape-Eye (AI) had to show me the difference in that specific field. -

#Redis (see https://libranet.de/display/0b6b25a8-1465-fd55-2956-db1957424987 and the thread it is part of)
Find an alternative. There is no assurance that there won't be another license change in 2-3 years to force other groups of users to pay for the commercial license.
I sympathize, as they probably have several big corporations and cloud providers using Redis without doing anything to benefit anyone other than themselves. No funds, no code, no support, no documentation, no staffing, no marketing. -

I haven't been anywhere in a couple of weeks, except:
Last weekend, while my son and daughter-in-law were out of town for their first weekend away from the kids, #GS4 had a medical issue and I had to drive him to the doctor's office.
Thus, it is likely that exposure to the doctor gave me a cold.
It is getting better, and will probably be gone completely in another day or two.
The cold seems to have sapped my energy. I've been doing an hour or so of #DataCamp, plus another hour or so of #Coursera each night, but recently it is either one or the other. -

It reminds me of when I did my Master's Degree. I was doing Microsoft #SQL_Server through their GUI interface while also taking some MySQL courses through the local community college.
Using the GUI, I'd be in the process of constructing a query and need to look at some information ... for example the structure of a table ... in order to complete the query. In the GUI, everything was modal dialog boxes, so it was *back out of everything* then look for needed data, then go through the steps to get back where I previously was, and enter the query with the acquired information.
Using the mysql commandline, it was ... enter a query to view the table and / or database schema, write your query. If necessary, open a 2nd window and use one for writing long queries and the other for exploration which helps write those queries.
Yes, our web dev instruction was corporation centered, so we used Java Servlets and JSPs in Apache #Tomcat on #Windows ... and SQL Server as the database. I think we used #Apache HTTP Server(also on Windows), but it is possible we did do something with Microsoft #IIS. -

I have used joins and subqueries (in the where clause) in the past. But when I look at many of the exercises, there's a partially-written #SQL query that uses these features and CTEs and it is difficult to reason about the query and its pieces. Normally, that's when I'd write some exploratory queries to understand how to go from a set of tables to a specific result set (itself a table).
But the table rows seen in the preview may not be easily visible in the query results, which makes it more difficult to see whether one is on the right track. -

Weird feeling for me: In a few of these #DataCamp courses, I'm now feeling lost when I'm doing the exercises. I think I need to spin up a separate data analysis project using #R-Lang, or #Python + #numpy + #pandas or #SQL ... or maybe do the same project three ways.
With SQL, at least, it seems to be an artifact of the way their hands-on code runner works (Displays a short `head` of the relevant tables ... so when you're working on queries, you may not have a direct way to see whether your query does specifically what you expected and intended.)
With R-Lang, it is just that it isn't always apparent what the language will do. Some things are inexplicably backwards compared to most other languages I've seen, so mentally I tend to go with the wrong choice. Also, the practice question set is too small. I've reached the point where some of the practice exercises are familiar enough that I know which answer to choose immediately without having any understanding of why that is the correct choice. -

@clacke It may be the client that @gnu2 is using. Friendica and Mastodon truncate the display of links, and some clients use that (instead of the embedded hyperlink) to make clicky links. -

@fu I think that is evidence that the USSR's state-based Communism wasn't all that different from industrial revolutionary capitalism or even prior mercantile systems. In all three cases, someone manipulates rulers and their laws / enforcement actions in order to enslave and repress those whose labor enabled their prosperity. -

I am sure that the current trend of changes to #Firefox and the resulting rewrite of #Thunderbird will necessarily affect #SeaMonkey. Essentially, I think SM lacks independent development resources, so if the divergence is quick enough or large enough, SM will have to write a separate mail component or give up.
This reminds me of a Matrix client I was using. The developers of what was then called Riot changed frameworks or something and the downstream client I used ended development. -

@fu That's good news.
One thing I dislike about #Win11 is the extra step added to the start menu. First is the pinned programs and recommendations with a little "all programs" button. Click that and the regular start menu appears.
Seems bizarre that the primary UI improvement that made #Win95 such a revelation is repeatedly erased or subverted in subsequent #Microsoft operating systems. I remember #Win3.1 and MacOS having program icons and folders containg such icons scattered all over the desktop. The start menu was a huuuuge improvement.
