Matters what you're using the language for more than which language is being used I would imagine. Scala users make more than .NET users, but that isn't because Scala is more in-demand, it's because that's the language

Do you see nuclear as a stopgap between coal and renewable, or do you think that 100% renewable is not going to be possible? I'm with you as being pretty pro nuclear, but if I'm making a plan to spend $16T, why even bother with ha

I'd say there's a big difference between 41 and 45 and you're also greatly exaggerating the temperatures in Chicago if you include 105 as a typical high. It's hit 105 a couple of times over the course of a hundred year

Very interesting, thank you for sharing! This is has a little twist on what I'd like to see, but I had no idea something like this "graduate market" existed. I'll have to dig into this a little bit more.

I agree, but I also think there is some demand for those fields. The problem is they often become a sort of catch-all for people that don't have a particular focus while they're still in school which doesn't really benefit

That's quite a reach. How is taking a small percentage of your income and being debt free somehow more of a burden than graduating with 100k in debt that cannot be wiped away even in bankruptcy?

I've long thought that the cost of college should be fronted by the colleges themselves should you get accepted. Once you graduate, you owe the college a percentage of your income in perpetuity (say, 2%- nothing crazy, and you graduate

You're looking at it strictly from a safety perspective which is a small part of the whole picture. If we looked at transportation from a safety perspective throughout history, we'd still be walking everywhere. What's the ris

How is your 401k invested? Contributing the maximum since 2007 would only give you (~187k @ 17k/yr average) and I don't see how you could have almost quadrupled that with anything but the riskiest of investments.

Ideally if they have that information and it's released (either via hacking or sold without consent) the company could be sued. Unfortunately that's not the case today. You're arguing that anyone knowing anything is a privacy

The application is specifically meant to track this information, so to me that's cost of doing business. If they sell it to other people without consent, that's an issue. It would be like if I went into H&R Block to get my tax

It's not hard arithmetic but they also have no real causation that I could think of. I can go to McDonald's and buy some combo for $5-8 and get a single meal, or I could go get some chicken thighs, some black beans and some rice a

Second that these diagrams look really nice and clean- does anyone happen to know if there's an alternative that isn't Mac only?

This is one of those facts that sounds scary but it's really hard to interpret. Prostate cancer is extremely common; I've heard that upwards of half of men that die of old age have developed prostate cancer, though not all have go

Yep, this is how pretty much every large data warehouse works as well. It's very useful to be able to say "What was the state of everything at time X", even if it's been deleted you want to be able to see the state at ce

This is a little misleading. Was there a mass exodus? Absolutely, but it's turned / turning around. You would be hard pressed to find any decent apartment within a mile of downtown for less than 1k/mo. Many nice apartments in

I didn't understand this comment until I started to check out the FEMA maps myself. Indeed, almost all of Houston is in the "0.2% annual chance of flooding" zone (once every 500 years). To help put that in perspective, you ca

Replace talking about a rape with any of many reasons the police might be called and it makes just as little sense to have all these videos public. Super innocent example: A 14 year old kid breaks their leg and the cops show up to them in

There are a lot of places around Detroit for people to live if they weren't comfortable in Detroit. There are some extremely nice suburbs that you can commute to/from in 30-45 minutes which is still somehow an acceptable commute

I'm very similar- look into the Daily Mixes that are created, this solves that issue for me. Right now I have six different mixes and each one of them seem to be a grouped into a different genre (or sub genre).

True, but for most reasonable purchases, time is of some sensitivity. Even using his previous examples, withdrawing $20 or buying lunch, you can't wait hours or days- you usually want them immediately.

Not sure this is measuring the same thing. For example, if I moved to NYC I wouldn't even bother buying a car because the traffic is so bad. I'd spend 0 hours in gridlock per year, but the traffic is still terrible.

Good list here. A few things I would add about execution plans specifically. 1. SET STATISTICS IO ON. This is much more useful than setting time on imo. This will give you physical / logical reads per table as well as how specificall
