peepoThink (1)

  • we could use GROUP BY to see how many posting share the same uid
  • we could then SELECT WHERE count == 1
    (2)
  • use DATE_TRUNC to group by year or
  • use WHERE to split each into 180 day intervals from now()
 02:13

visualize the output and work backwards, make an output table, split into intermediate tables to process

 05:55
WITH user_job AS (
	SELECT u_id, j_id, COUNT(DISTINCT date_posted) AS num_posted
	FROM jobs
	GROUP BY u_id, j_id
)
 08:06
SELECT
	SUM(CASE WHEN avg_posted > 1 THEN 1 END) AS posted_multiple
	, SUM(CASE WHEN avg_posted = 1 THEN 1 END) AS posted_once
FROM (
	SELECT
		user_id, AVG(num_posted) AS avg_posted
	FROM user_job
	GROUP BY user_id
) AS t

HAVING won't work because it will filter values

Post Mortem

WITH - named function
COUNT(DISTINCT field_name) - get count of distinct values in field
GROUP_BY creates sub tables on different keys
CASE WHEN - if
END - end the if
ELSE - else
AVG() - get average of field

Use intermediate tables to get to the final table

03:02

use the FROM clause to understand tables in the query

 04:60

LEFT JOIN (only join items into the union from the left table) uses a subquery where we can SELECT inside and the JOIN it on a field to the computed table

 08:50

any filters? HAVING is filtering where sum values != 0

 14:34

Run the main query in parts

Notes on "My YouTube Addiction"

YouTube is the perfect evolution of the Peekaboo World Neil Postman warned us about, as it gives the illusion of learning but is often not as effective as reading.

 https://youtu.be/p2sQ49Lr8H8
 02:45

I empathize. Using YT as a default becomes a toxic, infinite rabbit hole.

 03:43

Also empathize. The less projects actively involved in, the easier it is for YouTube to slip in to fill the gaps. YouTube is to mindless consumption as vaping is to tobacco. It feels like learning is happening (albeit less than reading provides 202301130109), but at the end of the day, you'd be hard pressed to explain what information you consumed.

YouTube is the 2023 perfect evolution of the Peekaboo World Neil Postman warned us about.

In a peculiar way, the photograph was the perfect complement to the flood of telegraphic news-from-nowhere that threatened to submerge readers in a sea of facts from unknown places about strangers with unknown faces. For the photograph gave a concrete reality to the strange-sounding datelines, and attached faces to the unknown names. Thus it provided the illusion, at least, that “the news” had a connection to something within one’s sensory experience. It created an apparent context for the “news of the day.” And the “news of the day” created a context for the photograph. But the sense of context created by the partnership of photograph and headline was, of course, entirely illusory. You may get a better sense of what I mean here if you imagine a stranger’s informing you that the illyx is a subspecies of vermiform plant with articulated leaves that flowers biannually on the island of Aldononjes. And if you wonder aloud, “Yes, but what has that to do with anything?” imagine that your informant replies, “But here is a photograph I want you to see,” and hands you a picture labeled Illyx on Aldononjes. “Ah, yes,” you might murmur, “now I see.” (Location 1328)
