@burnitdown yeah, I can use the website, but with a card reader I've had since ~2005... might switch my pay to my other bank account and just use Natwest as a backup credit card and a credit-score-gaming "look at this current account I've held for over 20 years" thing

@afewbugs @JamieR @julianlawson @woe2you @TheBreadmonkey that and "IQ" testing in general is about as scientifically valid as phrenology

@Techaltar @thibaultmol there was "si" (which I didn't remove, just edit to "si=yes") that's been around a while, and recently there's "is"

@warandpeas this is topical to the US, I think - of the places I've lived and visited (UK, Australia, Germany, Switzerland, Canada) the only place I've seen cubicle walls that don't go at least almost to the ceiling (and no more than a couple inches above the floor) was in Toronto airport

@wtrmt @girlonthenet in this case they're advertising the railway (I think - because one of the figures has the railway logo on his hat). I think it's some lockdown-era key worker messaging since they're all wearing surgical masks

@isaackuo @melindrea @mariyadelano oh this database is full of things to make you feel sad... the designer made a hobby of naming columns and tables with SQL keywords, and seemed to consider database normalisation to be a passing fad

@melindrea @isaackuo @mariyadelano but you learn so much while doing option B, and the next week you can apply that knowledge to something else...
literally happened to me this week. I had to investigate as many as several dozen rows of a user activity audit log, the relevant parts of which are in an XML column. rather than spend several minutes looking at raw XML I learned how to parse the relevant bits into columns and rows in T-SQL and show the relevant data without surrounding boilerplate in a single view. then I used the same technique to analyse a bunch of data in a different table for a completely different purpose
