I don’t probably know WTF is a PIZZA (even a large one), that is worth it, at over $/€ 15-20... seems like we need a new big mac index! Is a $30+ pizza reality? Edit: it’s probably just the common salary & cost level difference her

To explain a bit further, I feel that this approach also makes you more ready for promotions and working with new people/industries/tech. To me it seems that people who worked their ass off and received a promotion “as a reward fo

When you’re actually good at something you do, dont give 100% in all the time. Get a feeling of what your clients/boss/etc. need to be happy and try to exceed it marginally. - Be capable of 100 in normal working hours - Be expecte

It’s the regulation. I work on EU GDPR tech stuff currently (this stuff is HOT at the moment and I have a feeling that even many large companies are quite late on the train!) in financial services sector and while some data needs to be kept

What kind of patterns would be interesting to find out in this dataset? A thought came in to my mind to do some data acrobatics and possibly publish a dashboard based on this data if I can arrange some extra time.. (didnt check any possible

"Ironically, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Ltd. is the world’s No. 1 security consulting group (at least, for now)." From what I have seen, it really seems that the shoemakers aren't usually wearing shoes themselves. My experience

Yes, this is exactly our use case. Every now and then a need for new attributes or metrics appear that are to be calculated or otherwise logically determined for the "sessions" generated. Sometimes a new device model / softwa

The capacity for large volume ("real life scale") of transactions with reasonable verification latency is something that I have always seen as the real blocker with Bitcoin. I continue to be slightly surprised that the issue isn&#

Happy resident of a MongoDB environment here! In one of my projects, we are collecting IOT "clickstream" with slightly varying contents, around 20 million inserts per day. These are then transformed into "sessions" that

This was also included in the query editor of Microsoft's Power BI in the release a month or two ago. First you select the columns to be used as a source then start writing example values to the new column to be generated. It also show

Well, you can basically do it once with the restaurants in your new neighborhood. Otherwise it would probably ring the alarm bells for someone if the same guys are complaining and receiving vouchers multiple times. Anyway, it's a scam.

Yes, I just see this kind of arguments coming from quite senior level engineers every now and then. I see the reasoning that application/system level logic should be kept separate from the database, but aggregations are a good example

Especially banks really need to maintain the transaction log. One could also argue that keeping the aggregated balances could be some DB side trigger on update operations for separate "balances" table or generated with some kind o

I love the location timeline feature. For example last summer I did a road trip driving from Finland to Venice, Italy through Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Austria, Switzerland and France. Many times after the trip I've checked up exact lo

Yes correct. In a way it's a combination of philosophy, agreed practices and techical solutions. I think this one is a good introduction: The What, Why, and How of Master Data Management https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us

What you are saying is correct. In this case I would have the join of t3 on the same indent level as the join of t2 as t3 table has also the common key with t1. Somehow I just find the parent comment style not so intuitive for me.

by gerhardi 10y ago
I always keep the joins indented from the table that they are joined to: select t1.col1, t2.col2, t3.col3, t4.col4 from table1 t1 join table2 t2 on t2.colx = t1.colx

Earth is a sunlit object in this picture, the luminosity is the same level as during the day on earth - would you see stars in your photos if you took a correctly exposed photo of something during daylight on earth? I don't think this
