Like I said, I don't have the bandwidth to do a daily art challenge this October, but that I'd do /some/ mxtxtober. And I HAD to do prompt 4: Wine Bottle 👀

Do not help them to build any more of this machine.

If you work with a database and are asked to alter the table structure to comply in advance for citizenship or gender categorizations it's really important to NOT do it.

"The governor is concerned about all this stuff they want us to update our record keeping so we store both gender AND biological sex."

"We need fields to store the country of origin of people's parents."

If you don't have the power to rebuff this yourself, ask for help. At minimum ask for help online anonymously.

Depending on your job you probably have in the past made compromises. Maybe to keep your job. Maybe to survive. This is a bright line. If you are asked to be the one to update the table don't let it be your fingers typing those changes.

If you can't just say "No I won't do that." Stall, run away, feign incompetence. Just don't let it happen.

I suspect this might be where the rubber hits the road first for us around here.

Nothing has changed. You do not have to do it. It is not even ordained.

I know someone who rebuffed such a request. Boss was apologetic "it's what the higher ups want, oh *I* think it's a lot of nonsense, but I don't want us to be out of step ... blah blah"

It was proposed to them in sheepish way. They said it would be a lot of work, not add anything of value, and most important they would not do it. It didn't come up again.

Fascism can be the work of zealots, but there are also many sheepish middle management helping hands who "don't even believe in this really"

There is a lively discussion of this on mastodon. (Mastodon is a very active social network where many people who left twitter have gone over the past few years to escape many problems of big centralized socail media. I like it a lot.) Posting a response to this post over there could be a way to get lots of help and ideas from tech people all over the world with similar values. If you do need help. Please say something.

Also, if you respond to this post I can pass what you say along if that would help too. People will respond and give you ideas to NOT do this should you be asked.

Good morning. ☕ Last night, I took and passed my Database Management Applications exam, which was the last exam in my degree program. Here's a pic of some of my notes (which I intended to post the other night while I was actually studying).

I have until April 30 to complete my capstone project if I'm going to finish by the end of the term. (I do qualify for a one-month extension, though. I went ahead and requested it just in case I need a few extra days.)

Lots of research and writing will be happening over the next week. 📚

Enough of the gif/jif discourse

Robert ("Bobby") Tables DOES exist!

Summary translation: Students have been waiting for test results/grades for over a week because they use an automated test reader/parser/grader and someone *wrote an SQL injection on the paper test* and successfuly did the ol' DROP TABLES on the college's records, and they didn't keep backups of the databse

Challenge for artists for fun! (Create A Slammer Clone Oc!)

Create your own 'clone' copy for Slammer.

What Is A Slammer Clone/How to describe one?

1: It can take the form of any character. (Not limited to the Sonic Series.)

2: It can take the form of any insect that, (lays eggs and has a larva stage at some point.)

Rules:

1: They must have empty eye sockets on their face, however they can have an eye or eyes. Somewhere else on the body.

(You can decide the placement on the body.)

2: These Two Colors Must Be Used Somewhere In The Design.

3: Sonic, Shadow, Tails, Amy and Mario already have Slammer Clones/an insect assigned to them, so they can't be used.

4: have fun!

Hear me out

A The Beholding ritual but it’s just some guy given some enormous spooky database and they have to come up with as many useful sql views for it

(Doing my databases homework for hours and listening to TMA at the same time does interesting things to my mind and it full on feels like some ritual)

Happy (slightly late) Halloween! Have these two goobers on this spooky day.

SQL!SLAMMER— @moderator-monnie

No idea if this person follows me BUT while the industry standard for GIS software (ArcGIS pro) is incredibly expensive, there are open source alternatives like QGIS. A lot of governments and organizations also have open data portals that you can grab data from (shapefiles, CSVs, rasters, whatever).

I've kind of been taught ground-up in person so I don't have recommendations on video tutorials for teaching basic concepts sadly. Bolstadt GIS fundamentals is good and was dirt cheap by textbook standards though (was like $40 iirc).

"Learning GIS" I guess also depends on what you want to do with it? If you want to mess around with cartography and data visualization you could probably just give yourself some pet projects.
