Mayer had absolutely nothing to do with Alibaba or Yahoo Japan though. What she is directly in control of has been hemorrhaging money.

I think instead of trying to shoehorn the "AND" that he discusses in the article into a case statement you'd just look for each category to see if there has been a non expressed delivered package. SELECT category,

That's actually pretty surprising to me, I have only visited Colorado a few times but I have always been very (pleasantly) surprised by the amount of sunshine. A quick look on Wikipedia says Denver has sunshine 70% of the time totaling

I had/have an algorithm that I use for MLB games. The stats are relatively easy to find and past that it's just trying to figure out what things "matter". I had a lot of fun day dreaming about which things are important

Most databases have ways for you to specify the exact plan you want used already. Since you mentioned SQL Server, you can force join order, force index usage, force the type of join used (loop, merge, hash), etc. There are terrible drawback

TWTR right now has a operating margin of -26%. So they spent ~1.3B to get that 1.0B in revenue. If I were to make a bunch of goods for $130/each, and then sell them for $100/each but managed to sell 10M of those goods should I be

SQL Server has all this information saved (I'm not paid by Microsoft, I swear). I would suspect something is available for other engines as well. For example, I can easily grab (what it thinks are) the top 10 most impactful missing ind

There shouldn't be a situation where reading the data + creating the index would be less intensive than just reading the data. This is from the SQL server perspective so I apologize if all this doesn't translate 100%. Let's s

SQL gives you all of the tools you need to hang yourself if you're bent on it. FORCE ORDER will force joins to happen in the order specified, index / join hints will force the optimizer to do things the way you'd like. The re

I've had a few conversations with friends about which sport I'd choose to play if I could be a professional in any sport. I think baseball would be at the bottom of my list. You have to go to the ballpark nearly every single day f

I definitely agree he should factor in costs that he wouldn't have been paying before. I thought his including his entire car was a little disingenuous, that's all.

Everyone needs a car. If my car breaks down I would likely have to take a sick day to get it to the shop. No one factors that into their pay. I need to wear pants when I go into the office, do I get to allocate pants into my wage? A car is

He isn't getting paid well, I agree with him there. However, factoring your car payment and car insurance into your hourly wage just because you happen to work from your car is kind of silly. If I work from home do I factor my house pa

My understanding is that the only reason these jobs aren't automated already is because labor is cheaper. Unfortunately I think the alternative to a terrible job like working for Foxconn is no job at all for a lot of folks.

They mentioned ORM so they don't need a DBA! Jokes aside, I still think profiling is a great idea here. Even if you're not responsible for writing the database portion, it's important to see how much time those calls are taki

If I make a mistake at doing my taxes and accidentally pay $1,000 less than I should is that the same as knowingly gaming the system so that I have to pay $1,000 less? Is one of those considered stealing?

I think you're either very selective with your sources or very selective about who you give the "expert" title to. I don't know that I've seen implicit joins used by a speaker at a SQL event in the past couple years
