I've read sql server internals cover to cover and in many respects this is a much better read. Thank you.

I can't speak on sustainability because I can't speak to cost to support that much infrastructure. Just seems a little low on storage and I think AWS's free tier offers more.

I just got this email too. Price jumps from 5 bucks to 50. Still too pricey for me. I did explore what they have to offer and it is fairly extensive. I'm not sure about performance though. I did not test that.

To me this also rings of "I'm too morally superior to engage in corporate politics." Suck it up and kiss ass, suppress information when necessary, make allegiances, and whatever else is if you want to move up in that structur

What, mapping a pattern to a cylinder? I feel like there should be a better way to capture light and shadow on the surfaces than drawing each bit.

My first reaction to your comment is that you're overreacting and targeted news stories based in topics you enjoy is a great thing. But after some thought on the recommendation engine, this seems more like a confirmation bias engine. N

I tried to install wordpress from apt-get and it wasn't trivial. File permissions were out of whack, plugins and upgrades weren't working. I eventually scrapped it and installed from source. Took a little longer to configure but w

We're living in an alcoholic beverage renaissance. Try a craft beer or have a glass of wine. A drink a day is good for you anyway.

[2011] It took a while before programming really "clicked" with me too, and I started with BASIC on an apple ][. It probably wasn't until a year or two into CS that I could approach a problem in an organized manner. Now after

Goodbye pyjamas. I think this project lost its mojo. I really loved the idea but personally decided it best to just use javascript.

I rarely do a D in prod. I've built a generic trigger function for postgres and proc for sql server that will do the auditing in K-V format on every table. And I call a proc to add the stuff to the table to create the audit tables and

I'm glad there are people in this world like your uncle. I admire those who try to help those whose lives seem insignificant to most. If we all did the same I'm sure it wouldn't be "useless". But as they say sufferi

It's typical. My theory is the average person doesn't cognitively absorb the human suffering because there's more guilt associated with it.

It is comparable. The label for syntha-6 says meal replacement right on the bottle. And there are plenty other meal replacements just like soylent. Nothing new.

I drink a syntha-6 protein shake every morning after working out or as a quick meal replacement and it works great. Costs about a buck a serving.
