- Comment on I try to spice it up with some VB Macros but it's still ultimately just a spreadsheet. 2 months ago:
Oh Lord. Before I found power bi 15 or so years ago I made interactive speeadsheets that did a lot of querying directly towards sql based on a set of input cells. Did a lot of crunching on the data merging data fetched from different database etc before presenting them in their own sheets. The worst part is that it was a huge leap from what we did earlier. Then I would write sql queries and dump the result to Excel every time management needed data.

I mostly use sql for data management stuff through c# .NET. But there is a lot of Excel and power bi towards the numbers people.

I’m Norwegian. We have dragonflies. They are dope. But we don’t have any of those horrifying insects and eight legged ones that kill you. So I don’t resonate with the paranoia of checking your shoes, like at all. I am not sure if I would survive a week in Australia.
- Comment on Anon is Illiterate 2 months ago:
Have you ever done any sort of IT support? I was internal IT in my first job and we had those people. It was mostly women 50+ years old who were proud that they know nothing about computers and would actively avoid listening when I tried to tell them how to do something trivial. Even when it was part of their jobs to do it. Then they would ask for help with the same stupid shit a few weeks later.

The grammar is bad as well. The of is superimposed in the translation. It should have been slutten/enden av datafag to be correct Norwegian. But by then the joke is fully gone.
- Comment on faen 4 months ago:
I guess. Any word ending with ics ends with ikk in Norwegian basically. Ceramics - keramikk, electronics - elektronikk, etc.
- Comment on faen 4 months ago:
Its a loan word for Informatics
- Comment on faen 4 months ago:
Uh. Norwegian chiming in. That translation is really bad. I would never translate slutt that literally means end or stop as graduate or the other way round. For graduate I would translate it to fullført (completed).
Also datafag may be used some places i suspect, but I haven’t seen it used in higher education. Maybe it was used earlier. But now the terms datateknikk or informatikk are the most common. I have a degree named dataingeniør myself.

That’s smart! However I don’t have a backpack with me every time I put on shoes.
- Comment on Never gonna loosen them laces 4 months ago:
Love shoehorns. Use them at every opportunity. But they are not every place I put on shoes.

Im about to turn 40. Still do this 😅

What even is a tariff on a foreign movie? Licensing to show it doubles?

There’s only snow outside now where live in Norway. I cannot touch grass, but I can shovel my drive way. Does that count?

In Norway we write “name with family” on post cards or invitations etc.

We have both kinds in playgrounds around my house here in Norway. My kids like both, but the ones from the OP is vastly preferred. They get a lot more Gs in the one with the bars.

Having a large beer vs getting very drunk on liquor is quite different, no?
- Comment on IT support work be like 1 year ago:
Why not both then? Make your own human readable passwords, but do a different one each time and store them in a password vault.
- Comment on IT support work be like 1 year ago:
To be fair that is basically what we are trying to get people to do though. Use a good password vault with a single strong password and two factor authentication. All other passwords should be a uniquely generated password for that application.
- Comment on Only thing getting developed is a headache 1 year ago:
Oh I’m reading and making sure I understand everything. I usually write the suggestiona myself to try to get it into my fingers. But it is usually basic stuff I haven’t done very often I struggle with. Like filtrering building a JSON like an object by adding each part step by step and serializing every input properly, instead of just building the JSON string by hand.
- Comment on Only thing getting developed is a headache 1 year ago:
ChatGPT has taught me so much basic programming I should have learned years ago. Don’t know if I’ll remember any of it since Ill just end up pasting my almost working stuff into ChatGPT again once I’m stuck.
