you (and I) are absolutely spoiled by Visual Studio w/SSDT. there is nothing even remotely close to that level of integration for database development in other stacks.

I've found views, parameterized-views/table-valued-functions can be a nice compromise to keeping the SQL relatively simple and thus ORM friendly without sacrificing performance.

FlexLM is horrific and does terrible things like stashing data in unused/unformatted areas of your disk as well as dropping litter all over the registry and filesystem. I have to use Tableau which I actually really like but because it

you should package this up as a bloom filter and simple js routine web developers could use to do client-side checks to validate passwords. edit: on 2nd thought looks like a bloom filter for 5B entries at p=0.01 would be ~5GB, so not exactl

you're right, the performance of the local storage on i3 instances is a lot better than normal EBS but still nothing close to what you would get from just buying an Intel P4500 or similar though. http://www.aerospike.com&#x2

you can also pickup an enterprise flash device and have a few terabytes of 500k+IOPs for a few grand whereas reaching a similar performance profile via provisioned IOPs will cost you 10x as much every month.

meanwhile r/btc is calm and collected. I suspect r/bitcoin is targeted by certain entities seeking to instill doubt and divide the community. the network is going through its usual boring phase of doubling the block size by way of

I want the algorithm for generating server names: Bunflow, Snowbonk, Stanky Bean, Dorkwood, Bank Butt.. these are great!

I would totally get behind that, especially if it could be actual wattage used and not just based on the tdp of the CPU. Nothing sucks more than having to pay huge money for servers that are sub 5% utilization because you're trying to

We've had database servers with 2-3TB of RAM in production for years. You can get servers today with 24TB RAM - they're 8-way so lots of NUMA going on but still tons o' RAM.

I bet a 64c Zen chip would be amazing with mixed SQL Server workloads but SQL Server's per-core licensing will make it crazy cost prohibitive. $456k for one server - ouch! Here's hoping per-core licensing goes tf away.

there were some interesting alternatives to the diskette icon if you scroll to the very bottom of the search results after searching "save" .. the micro sd card and thumbdrive icons are cool and I think pretty intuitive for "

searched for "save" .. ten pages of variations on the 3.5" diskette icon all labeled "floppy" even though diskettes aren't floppy. I wonder when a new save icon will emerge?

ah, yeah that hasn't changed. I've been using Skype preview on Win10 and it's very nice. It's very much a native desktop app - certainly it's the successor to the old Delphi client.

Cases like this are so rare and so unique that you simply cannot speak in general about "feral children". In the case of Genie she would have acquired some human language from her father in the first 20 months even if she only eve

It's worse and somewhat fascinating. Instead of acquiring human language which leads to normal human consciousness, she'll have acquired the language of the apes and presumably developed a sort of ape-like consciousness. In theory

in New Horizons Chomsky writes a bit about cases like this. IIRC a person raised like this has never been reintegrated and per Chomsky it's not really possible because the person will have developed a kind of consciousness that is fund

We are well beyond moving to 64bit on a needs-only basis. At this point it's about dropping legacy and future proofing. There's also no reason 64bit apps should have a larger memory footprint; the ISA and addressing modes are actu

If you want to specialize in javascript and html that's fine. The middle/backend/API then ought to be developed by someone knowledgeable in SQL - but it's still a developer, not a DBA. DBAs are sysadmins not programmers.

in my experience 99/100 major debilitating webapp performance issues are from SQL-oblivious developers making basic variations on the "n+1" problem, executing a thousand queries instead of one, failing to think in sets, treat
