On the first day of meteorlogical summer, we're predicted to go to the dizzying heights of 15C. Yesterday was cat, got lashed on while going to visit my Mum in hospital!
No - in Ireland (Dublin in particular), "cat" means sh*te - its etymology is explained here - conveniently, it's also very like the actual Irish word for the same material: "cac" which may help explain its usage.
I have a great task in front of me. Optimize a stored procedure. The only problem is that it has 2k LOC, nested procedures with another 2k LOC, non-normalized tables, scalar functions with 4 levels of nesting, dynamic SQL, and tables with triggers. This sounds like a project for the rest of the year
Kinda like "redneck", "hick" or "hillbilly" for the States. Basically, a Dublin word, used for anybody from the country - i.e. not Dublin. Now, they may well live in large-ish (at least for Ireland) cities like Cork, Limerick or Galway, but anyone with an accent from the South, the South-West or West (or Wesht as they say down there) of the Shannon, is a culchie. Not used so much for North or North East (incl. 6 counties).
Throwing money at a problem is a valid strategy. Quite popular in the cloud
Valid from a business point of view I mean. Assuming hardware upgrades cost more than your time refactoring, and that such work removes the need for better hardware.
Critical IT infrastructure problem here. I did something (what, exactly, I don't know - hit some sort of key combination, I think) and my mouse wheel no longer scrolls smoothly but jumps x number of lines at a time (Windows Home, Version 21H2, OS Build 22000.675, Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22000.675.0). In the screenshot, you can see that I have the option "Multiple lines at a time" chosen, the only other one is "One screen at a time" which I don't want either.
How can I get back to what I had before - scrolling using the wheel?
Maybe it's a browser setting that I changed? It appears to work fine in Firefox but not in Chrome?
It appears to be the quantum that I changed by accident - by setting the number of lines at a time to something low seems to sort out the problem - just wondering what I did in the first place to change it? I hate it when I do something that I can't reverse later on, should I so choose! Anyway, panic over folks...
Anybody familiar with Azure Data Lake authentication? I'm looking for a way to browse an azure data lake using only the client id, tenant and and secret
@Zikato I think I hit some sort of obscure key combination - I'm trying to do accents which requires Ctrl-Alt + vowel for acute accents and backtick (once) plus vowel for grave - must have done something weird! Ah well...
@ypercubeᵀᴹ They don't appear to have learnt much either - I was mad as hell over the bifurcation of "First Post" to "First Question", "First Answer" fiasco where they removed some 800 odd posts that I had reviewed from the "First Post" queue - I complained (forcefully, but with no four-letter words) and was banned for a week for my trouble! Has made me less inclined to moderate since. They do provide a learning experience however.
The thing about here, as opposed to textbooks and/or College lectures is that one is (mostly) exposed to real-life problems as opposed to "provide a schema for a student-course-lecturer-theatre... &c... - although there are enough of those here - I tend to skip them).
@Lamak And @JohnK.N. thanks. It seems to be gen 2 and I am able to get a token to use for the rest of the API now. Somehow Microsoft managed to make the v2 docs useless compared to the v1 docs
