I unfortunately can’t tape anything where my cat’s water is, because it’s in front of an attic door that I access from time to time… Unless I stock up on tape and re-tape it every time.
I bought one of those last year. It was tipped over and water was all over the floor. So that asshole just has a normal bowl, and he seems content.
Boxes serve him well. My cat gets very bored of a toy after using it maybe once or twice, so buying toys is basically a waste. Just cut some string, or tinfoil ball, etc, and it’ll make him very happy.
I was heavy into skateboarding as a kid, and I was interested in making some skateboarding media website with images and videos. I had initially began with wix, because I had no idea programming was a thing (I barely used technology, or even a phone). I messed around with it for a while, and then learned that I could make websites with just a simple html file… And the rest was history. Ended up getting into PHP, then game development with Java, etc.
Staying on the SQL theme… The company I work for has a fairly old (~20 years) system. There’s a feature for users and site admins to export massive amounts of data, with the option to export data from when the system was first released. Purely CSV or XML data formats. On large datasets, the time for export would vary from 10-20+ hours, and would frequently timeout, forcing you to split exports into multiple timeframes and manually merging them into a single file. The solution? Indexes! Indexes were non-existent. After adding them, export times have dropped to ~10-15 minutes, which is a rather insane performance increase, especially since a single export is accepted per account at a time.
Yeah, same here. I spend all day at a computer, last thing I want to do is spend more time at a computer. I’ve also spent more time working on my own vehicle’s, and just generally being outside more often.
One thing that I do enjoy from time to time is graphics/game programming. Nothing really ever results from any of my projects, but it is something I enjoy, as i don’t do graphics programming at my job… It’s usually systems/web development, so the difference in the type of projects I choose to do as hobby programming has helped for me.
The college I went to taught COBOL in 2 mainframe courses, and as far as I’m aware, they still do.
It was either you like it, or you absolutely despise it. It wasn’t all the difficult, but it is very different than your standard java, C#, C++, etc, so the syntax really throws people off.
Half for me, and the other half for me.
Well, there’s something I haven’t thought of before haha. That’s too simple. I will have to try that next time I have a chance!
