Oh god, I tried to compromise and use React for just the part (majority) of the app that I haven't already written, but the other interns insist on deleting and refactoring all my code and reimplementing it with React.
We have a deadline, but they don't care. We already have a minimum viable product, but they just want to delete it. They've proven that their strategy doesn't work by achieving exactly nothing over three days of work, but they promise they'll implement twice the features that I've made in a week and a half before lunch today. Utterly delusional.

It was directed by Chuck Jones and Maurice Noble, with animation by Ken Harris, Ben Washam, Dick Thompson, Don Towsley and Tom Ray. It was written by Chuck Jones and Michael Maltese. Terence Monck once again provides Tom's baritone singing (as he had done in The Cat Above and the Mouse Below), while Dale McKennon provides Jerry's falsetto singing. == Plot == The cartoon starts with Tom rowing on a bucket amongst some docks using a broomstick under the crescent...

Just 'cause quills make bots doesn't mean tips can.
Defamation—also calumny, vilification, and traducement—is the communication of a false statement that harms the reputation of an individual person, business, product, group, government, religion, or nation. Therefore consider whats false to one may be true to another, and what's true to one may be false to another. Therefore if an answer gets deemed correct, and the "correction stands as a lie" this indeed falls within the definition. And who's correct and who's in error, if that was an easy answer, then the answer would be obvious. Yet since I'm not obvious to you, you prove the point. — Decrypted 19 hours ago

@rene Trying to find a way to calculate a derivative... but the kicker is I need one for each review queue in my stats...

4:03 PM
nasty cross join? or just to much data?
 
hichris123
hichris123
I'm grouping on the hour, so that requires extracting the date and hour parts from the timestamp and then grouping on that.
Huh, now it's down to 0.016 seconds, must be some sort of caching.
 
rene
rene
If it all fits in memory ...
@hichris123 maybe add those calculated fields as a de-normalization
 
hichris123
hichris123
Oh, yeah, back up to 10 seconds. Data must not have changed in between my two runs earlier.
@rene Meaning as another column?
 
rene
rene
Yeah
You have the burden then of keeping them in sync on insert/update
 
hichris123
hichris123
Could do that, I guess.

I don't recall if MySql does support indexes on calculated fields
 
hichris123

@Undo Hmm, well I managed to get this to work by faking it... (there are 84 rows inbetween hours). :P
> And to answer your question, no it is not possible to index the aggregated column. MySQL has neither computed columns nor materialized views which is what is needed in this case
Looks like a no, @rene.

And it is a no-fix. Now wait and see if that changes :D

I found it trying to write this comment:
@ShadowWizard: That would be breaking our promise. If this is still a problem (and honestly, I don't even remember writing this question), I'll see who I can ping (softly and gently). — Jon Ericson ♦ 7 mins ago
So this is my day to ping devs on old bugs, I guess. ;-)

@JonEricson Wait.
I thought this was fixed?
I also noticed comment links in review don't work.
They started working (on a couple of sites I can review, at least) some months ago.

@Louis I can only speak for myself, I personally feel that if we offered more guidance to users when they ask a question that might help them formulate it. There will always be people who don't care and will post low quality questions, we can't do anything about those users. All we can do is try to provide better guidance/tools for users when asking, that's what I raised several weeks ago as something we need to look at. We're in the process of looking at testing changes to the page, we're working thru what exactly we're going to test before making changes. — bluefeet ♦ 2 hours ago
@rene Luckily this is just out of laziness and not attempting to create a significant result where there is none...
The short version is that sometimes my script missed a few queues so two queues weren't always 84 rows apart.
