Thinking of getting a DBA I'm good friends with a custom shirt that says,
"SQL on the streets,
Excel in the sheets"

What do you guys think?

My family of nerds.

If there is this.
Meaning you and I
don't know if the us
was a truth brought on by circumstance
or happenstance...

but
it was a truth.
and I will never let it lie.

I'm not napping at my desk. I'm waiting for my code to compile.

What choices are these
Which laugh in Frost's face - I find
Ev'ry path led here.

Rubble, Not Ashes

There are betrayals
That require more than just fire.
My anger explodes.

Just had a random woman smile at me unprompted as I was dropping my car off at the shop.

Twice!

I'm gonna ride this high all day.

The sun sets and the dying rays illuminate fluffy Grey clouds from below, giving them a deep red glow.

What Secrets Hold the Night at Bay?

Silence as night falls.
The embers of days passing
ignites dark passions.

This is a great haiku. Sakura remind me of many things as well.

You mean from imgur? Yes.
Fancy seeing you here.

The Moment

Leaves spiral downward;
the lesson of sakura -
Ev'rywhere I look.

I love my volunteer tomato plants.

The ones that bloom from fruit that fell to the wayside from the bunnies brave enough to make their way through the marigold and catnip.

A purple flower stretches upward, growing from a crack in the sidewalk concrete

Like a stubborn bloom
Living in cracks of concrete
You cannot kill hope.

Am I hopeful that Republicans will do the right thing surrounding the ACA tax credits and Medicaid cuts?

Yes, in the same way that I hope that the end users for my app are not total idiots. There's a slim chance, but I had better prepare for the opposite.

So, what these 8 moderate Democrats (and Schumer, et al) are saying is that the last 40 days were for nothing?

We're already going to primary Fetterman. I hope those in New Hampshire find their fortitude to change their senators as well.

As a federal worker, I am beyond pissed that the past 40 days are for nothing.

Way to make our sacrifices mean nothing.

To paraphrase Martin Luther King Jr., I am beyond disgusted with the moderate who says that now is not the time to fight.

"My patience SNAPs"

I cannot fathom
The sheer depths of your disdain
For a child's hunger.

I wish I had a girlfriend because I just want someone to tell me good job for not giving in to my love of lemon desserts and getting the lemon pie cookie from Crumbl.

I mean...there are other reasons, but that one is pretty high on the list right now.

As a Democratic Socialist, Mamdani's overwhelming victory is worth celebrating, and can be repeated across the country if those old guard geriatric corporate puppets that are mainline Democrats can learn from this.

Help or get the fuck out of the way.

$70 and 5 hours of driving (round trip) on a Saturday for ten minutes on display.

The life of a marching band parent.

Choose wisely.

Really looking forward to @governorwalz.mn.gov announcing his run for the 2028 Presidential Election. Compassionate Ethical Leadership is what this country needs.

(I know that he hasn't said anything about it, but a guy can hope)

to do a (.contains any) for each set of roles for each possible view. That way if a user has any role in each possible view, that view unlocks. This is straight linear time. If I use a hash, it becomes constant time, but what real world savings does this have, if any. Plus the typing. Ugh. 😅

I didn't explain it well enough. There are multiple user roles with various levels of access and two super user roles. A given person can have any combination of roles. Each role allows access to a different view. So, my initial algo was to assign each view to an array of roles then use LINQ (1/2)

I'm coming into this app as a fresh set of eyes. It was written about ten years ago by contract and it's a mess. If I had my druthers, I'd tear it down and rebuild it, but I can't.

Also, this is the only page that has this visibility issue. The original devs were...special.

Sorting outside my therapist's office eating a rotisserie chicken because I got busy at work and forgot to eat my lunch and left it in the work fridge for tomorrow and now I'm in the "cold sweats" phase of low blood sugar.

Don't judge. It's been a hard week and it's only Monday.

So just a lot of ctrl-c, ctrl-v, then change a couple of variables. Rinse/repeat. I hate it. Lol.

Thought about using a set of hashes, maybe I'll do that. XD. I wonder how much that would improve runtime.

It's a page load function for displaying certain items depending on a user's role which can be any combination of 10 roles. So it's like

if (userRoles.Any(x => role.Contains(x))) then display y.

But there are 15 possible display combinations, so I get to iterate each one to flip visibility.

I swear,one of the worst parts about software development is after you solve a problem and have your algorithms ready to go, then you actually have to type it in.

Especially when the same thing reiterates 15 times with a single variable change each time.

Getting ready to take my daughter to see RHPS for her first time tonight.

Forgot how comfy fishnets can be.
