I had to deal with an accountant to get advice on how to file taxes after the sale of a private company. They needed information from a third party. I gave the accountant the third party's email address, firstname@lastname.co. The tran

My wife does sewing pattern printing which I think is somewhat similar, ie very large format prints on a very expensive printer. She ships either folded in a large-size envelope or (for an extra fee) rolled in a sturdy container. Looking at

When we used it (granted, years ago), it would crash occasionally. Looking at GitHub, there's at least one open issue around crashes based on how large of an HLL you use.

I can't see the source either. Re the concurrent updates - yes, Postgres is multi-process. However, the hstore and HLL approaches are going to have a lot of contention at the row level. The association table wouldn't have that con

I felt like I didn't understand the blog post very well, either. It spends a lot time building a benchmark framework and measuring things. At the end, hstore is the choice supported by the data. But instead the author writes: > If w

This is true. It's also true that Upwork has many, many people who will present themselves as a single individual. Instead, they are actually an agency and you will get a rotating cast of developers. This becomes apparent the fifth tim

> Read the law. I did, or at least tried to. That's why I put "enforcing the law" in quotes. Maybe I read the wrong law? In https://www.azleg.gov/legtext/55leg/2R/laws/0376.pdf , the def

A police officer "enforcing the law" is covered as law enforcement activity. That seems open to (mis)interpretation. Although if you then get arrested, you'd fall under the exception for persons subject to police contact. So

Or they'll tell you the hidden requirements! I remember selling to a school board back in 2008. We wanted to issue them a bill with one line item: "Software, $100,000." Luckily, we had a champion inside who took us aside and

I tried to reproduce the OP's complaint. Of the 5 most recent TILs, only 1 did not reference some other source as inspiration. One literally gave "thanks" to tips obtained elsewhere. I'm offended on your behalf! :)

In my experience [1], the CSV virtual table was really slow. Doing some analysis on a 1,291 MB file, a query took 24.7 seconds using the virtual table vs 3.4 seconds if you imported the file first. The CSV virtual table source code is a goo

Canada also has a high number of people with criminal records -- about 10%. This number was shocking to me. I only looked it up last year when one of our politicians made a bunch of noise about criminals getting vaccinated before citizens.

If you expand the Pay or Similar Occupations sections, you'll see data for elementary and middle school teachers. It's roughly the same.

How does ZipRecruiter get those numbers? By contrast, the BLS [1] says the median pay is $60k, and the bottom 10% earns at most $45k. This doesn't seem to square with "most teachers make less than $37k". Perhaps the BLS data

We might be talking past each other. I was reading "scam" in a general way, versus as a legal term of art indicating a crime had happened. When the OP said celebrities should be "held liable", I didn't read it to me

Your read is correct. While I generally agree with the alarm raised by this article, I find it does itself a disservice by exaggerating and citing to Americans with, charitably, a passing understanding of Canadian law and government. If peo
