What they said, I worked for an outfit with a similar plan (lower max. out of pocket, though). They were self-insured, though, and the latest year I have data for, it was about $20K/year for health coverage.

TDWTF really likes to pick on MUMPS, but for its time it wasn't that bad. Although maintaining undocumented old M code was... an interesting experience. On the other hand, see a valid use case for NoSQL storage engine, I'd much ra

My (2011) car manual claims that there is a sun sensor that is used to control climate system, so I would assume that yes, it can.

There's more to quality of life than just temperature. After 4 years in the Valley, I will certainly take Chicago winter over anything in SV, even with a reasonable pay cut.

Thgat's not necessarily a good thing. Also, one would think it is pretty clear that there is a correlation between SF's "culture" (like permissiveness about drug use) and the amount of excrement and needles on the street

Never drive a Macan, but unless Audi completely borked the UX (unlikely), first any adjustment to AC will be overlaid on the MMI/Navi screen, so you don't need to look down, and the process of "make it colder/warmer&quot

As a single data point, I worked at a union shop once. It wasn't very good.

Strange. I have yet to see a top-loader that washes anywhere near as well as a drum machine. Front-loaders are also much more gentle on the fabric.

Thaty's about it, and it might not even have too big an impact on the next sale, since those would have different maturity and won't be equivalent.

What debt, exactly, can be "called" at China's choosing?

Indeed. It is actually quite refreshing to see someone consistent on that point.

In the original case, pretty much any real (as in NOT My/Maria) database would've worked (knowing how to use it would've helped, of course), but for columnar analytics Monet is pretty nice, too, and ever so slightly cheaper t

Would you consider Soviet troops and materiel in North Vietnam as imperialism then as well?

Nowhere near a professional, but my K-30 has been going strong for years and years for my touristy needs. Not quite as big a selection of lenses, but unless you need something very specific you can find one, and they are quite good. Even an

Almost all of these can be controlled with a reasonable number of mechanical controls. It just takes more effort to design them than to throw together a crappy touchscreen UI.

Rowing the same distance in a boat, on dry land, would also "work". But not necessarily in an optimal or convenient way. Just like a touchscreen.

by Fins 8y ago
Except that the Tesla's huge touchscreen is about as usable as the Vertu phone. And unlike Vertu, Tesla has no precious materials in it. Tesla has the innards of an old Hyundai. I can understand when you laud Tesla for being emissions-

Given what comes out of the majority of those startups, SV ones included, it's not a very compelling argument that the people that brought us such glorious advanced technologies as Theranos, Juicero, or MongoDB are somehow better at te

As if Russian-language forums were the least bit better, talking about пиндосы, гейропа etc. etc. Of course while Voice of America, RL/RFE etc. were propaganda, compared to the Soviet media they were rather good. And the rape of German

Slaughter started with Lenin (not even counting the Civil War), so from the revolution to 1953 give you a bit over 30 years, give or take.
472.
by Fins 8y ago
Mass slaughter started well before Stalin, so at least 30+ years. What followed was calm compared to Stalin, or to North Korea, but nevertheless you wouldn't want to compare it to saner parts of the world.

As I recall, MonetDB claims "practically unlimited" number of columns per table. And in this particular use case you're probably looking for an RDBMS specialized in analytics, not a general-purpose one like Postgres. But rela

Management forced it on us, so we use it (as little as we can get away with, but that's mostly because nobody here seems much point in either Teams, or Slack, or something like that). As much as we do use it, though, it seems to work q

There also was a native Windows NT (including MIPS and Alpha builds) port of Calamus; I helped beta-test it. I mostly used Retouche Pro and Didot Line Art, but Arabesque was pretty good, too.
