Emeritus Prof Christopher May

Mo Ibrahim on African development:

'The decline of aid should not be seen as some sort of cliff-edge moment for Africa. It was never going to be enough to finance Africa’s development — and our huge continent’s place in the new global economy should never be determined by the generosity of international partners....

Africans must not fear Africa. We need to start investing in ourselves'!

Its been said before but Africans can (and must) do it for themselves!

Coworker-higher-than-but-not-above-me told me to NOT create a radar scheduler bc "something is coming"

9 years ago
After 6 months of nothing, I wrote one in the next 6 months and covered 99% of needs for 5 radars

5 years ago
CHTBNAM heads up project that, among other things will create a replacement for my scheduler

As of today, that replacement covers about 75% of 2 radars and mine covers the rest

1 year ago
CHTBNAM wants to collaborate on a (diferent) project where they will schedule things and my (also different) project will execute them.

I object on the grounds that their group never does their part but am overruled

As of today, their part was never done and I ended up both scheduling and executing

This week
None of the **THREE** separate schedulers CHTBNAM has been involved with are real successes (I omitted another one for brevity)

My scheduler (the 1 year ago one) is literally 1 week from release to operations. I'm told we need to pause that release to sit down andthink about how we schedule things

I'm sick of fighting this vaporware gremlin. If they would put 1/10th as much effort into creating software as they did into creating powerpoint (and stopping other projects from doing anything) this would be long done.

If you know the "knowing where to tap" story, I have a fun story to show you how this old guy knew where to tap.

My (college age) son is working on developing a web site. React, Google CloudRun functions, the whole bit. Twice he came to me today (because I was working from home) and he's super frustrated. He is getting an error and he doesn't know what to do. He reads the error out to me and says "https". I say "hold on. You're connecting to your emulator on localhost. It's just http." He does that and it works.

Three hours later, he comes back with another mindbending error. I take one look at his code and say "See where you have port 5053? That needs to be 5051". He changes that. and it works.

So twice I fixed his problem by recommending a single letter change. There is no better example of "knowing where to tap." And since my son is smarter than me at programming, I have to celebrate my little victories where I can.

EDIT2: My first edit was wrong, I thought I had the time wrong, but no.

There's still around 75 mins left until the people from #Framasoft will start answering the questions, but their #Lemmy #AMA already has more than 50 comments, with some insightful and interesting questions already posed.

If you have missed that it is happening until now, join the questions or browse the answers later here:

Any database wizards out there?

I have a table with an ID column. The ID column is unique together with a valid date, so the ID itself is not unique.

However, I also need a name column that is unique under the condition that any given name can only correspond to one specific ID (but not necessarily the other way around).

The database is PostgreSQL. Is it possible to formulate, for instance, a UNIQUE INDEX to achieve this?

Edit: Solved 🥳
