I own a copy of Wizard and have found it valuable on numerous occasions from digging around databases to tinkering with models. It handles non-trivial amounts of data with relative ease, allows you to do joins in the UI, has nice graphical

I don't think this is a dupe. This notice of reboots is not publicized at all in the other post.

My experience is that it is a nightmare to hire product managers who will "figure it out as they go". There are so many skills that a talented product manager needs to be successful. Leadership, communication, technical expertise,

No one else has mentioned zoom.us here. For my money, it's easily the best of its kind for multi-person video chat. The UI could be made a bit easier to navigate, but beyond that, it's a fantastically well-built piece of software.

What about the plagiarist's other contributions? Will there be any additional investigation into whether or not those papers were his own? I found it a bit puzzling that the plagiarist's name was not mentioned, although it is easy

"Obligated to vote" is not how I'd put it, personally. Choosing not to vote is your right, but frequently the arguments I hear from people against doing so are things like "It doesn't make a difference, they're

Hey, not a big surprise to see this on stallman.org, but I thought I'd drop in to mention Apple created ALAC (which is basically FLAC, just with lock-in), which when I first discovered it, found to be a pretty egregious example.

Huh, that seems so obvious in retrospect. This is basically how I've grown into jazz. I find someone I like, find out who they played with, who those folks played with, and so on.

Thanks for the explanation. Apparently not understanding this immediately counts as downvote-worthy. I was not trying to be snarky, it simply did not make sense to me. A better explanation on the page seems like it wouldn't be asking t
