To be fair, if you're gonna be in access, their SQL query writing interface is a steaming pile of issues. In my experience: 1) You can't do multi-line queries. After executing, it'll smash it all to one line again. 2) You can

Young experiences are how you learn, and make a lasting impression! In high school I tinkered with computers a lot. I setup SMB shares, ftp servers, created basic websites, some basic query work. I developed a pretty solid mental model of h

I used to work in that industry. Sears had no manufacturing, so they contracted it out. I believe the design was their own, but I'm not positive. Whirlpool was commonly the manufacturer, though it varies by year. Other manufacturers co

I'm baffled that anyone uses that interface! I think it's literally my least favorite interface in Windows. Is there a saving grace for that browse folder interface? A certain use case where it's really good?

There are so many ways it can go wrong - and when it does, the results can be disastrous. The article below mentions how poorly things can go, with private equity groups buying a company, things go poorly, it gets liquidated (pension gets d

I agree. It was interesting to see this all come up with union negotiations. The union's push against switching to a 401k was that it puts them at risk when the market performs poorly. Unfortunately from a company standpoint, when the
