I literally just had a discussion with a client last week about a feature taking 2months to develop.in my time this week I built the UI, with no backend, and she asked why I quoted two months when it looks like it's already completed.

Anecdotal, and I think expanding on the "portal" idea, I've just downloaded MAME + GENS for my two (young) boys (2 hours ago). The timing of this article is relevant for me. Metal Slug, SF2, Sonic, Lion King, Toe Jam, Earth W

This is so good. I'm currently working on about 100 pages worth of content for our website and adding attribution+integrations to our partners we work with. The headache I'm having just Google'ing their SVG logos is about 2-3

Can you explain why the ALTER approach isn't feasible? If you are locking anyway, is it not the same thing?

One of our popular accounts has about 70M worth of rows. I can't imagine how we would go about deleting their data. We rotate out old data each month when it doesn't become needed, but maybe 40M records (4M new each month gets add

Is this why my Synology 4 bay, had had 8 WD reds in the last 4 years? I don't even use it much. It's just always powered on. Drives me insane that I have to pay 200gbp a year just to replace drives that supposed to last years.

Why does the adjusted function use pixels as a unit of measurement when the objective is to make the position of each 'click zone' show correctly? Is that not was percentages are for? ie. You have var steps = [ ['&

Is there any way that we can provide BI to our customers using an OSS tool? Our databases store all our users data. I'm thinking of using something like pgsync to sync all database postgres to a new postgres and then having redash or m

No, sounds like we've eliminated 70 years worth of other possible squares.. if you want to take glass half full approach.

That's what happened with this guy (the guy in red). He was pre-screened, he wasn't selected at random. He was well known in the community as well, Blizzard already went with a safe crowd member. Short of embedding their own &quot

If I had to guess it would be something such as concatenating a bar code. In UK, we have items which when reduced all they do is add the new price to the end of the bar code. ie. If some product is barcode of 3035555074225 and it's the

I agree, it's frustrating. However, considering you can share security groups, and even share VPC as a resource to different AWS accounts, and that "names" are non-unique, how would you solve the problem of allowing people to
