It happens all the time as you get higher and higher on the org tree, I had jobs not only call my references by ask if they could also speak to my former bosses. When the money is seriously on the line people care.

Usually it doesn't work out for these types of companies because its better for the VC to state losses bigger than you would be able to pay for on their tax bill.

This implies someone can take deposits and issue loans in a "better" way, when the main feature of this type of business to customers is showing up with extremely low risk of losing deposits, not innovation. Credit cards are not t

If you include a clustered index/primary key on every query, you might be right, but in practice there's no benefit to include any other params if you have the pk, the catch all query is easy to modify into something that supports

The number of parents I have seen disinherit their children for something that literally is equivalent (and actually once was) "when they moved out when they were 18 they didn't clean up their room enough" is in the dozens, t

It really depends on your query engine, this would be considered a "catch all query" in SQL Server, and you're going to have really bad parameter sniffing blowing you up, you do not want to do this usually.

Pretty much, you want triggers to store things in a schemaless fashion in an audit format so that you are free to migrate tables. This does require either knowing the schema at the point in time or recording enough information to do a schem

Because that's how the entire reward system is structured - ask management why they care about that stuff (money) and you will understand why people do it (money).

You would only need to wonder if you had been paying no attention to the clarion call about Project 2025 and what the incoming admin was directly planning to do wholesale. Literally, for months.

Fair, but then they nationalize all your assets that you have in the country.

This is what companies working with fascist governments have thought, and historically that works well up until things change overnight and they come for you.

That implies you need to dedicate the 5 bucks a month per instance, when you look at how much things are write once and cacheable as heck, you could easily get customers down to pennies per instance per month.

Why would you want to stop knowing that your old bug fixes still worked in the context of your system? Saying "oh its been good for awhile now" has nothing to do with breaking it in the future.

Which just meant that when the business had sticker shock they just disabled all the useful features of DD which consumed so much.

Not hating on Quickwit, but almost never does an acquisition in the modern era mean continual innovation, most companies are now suborned to a greater purpose, and its almost never going to drive them to build the best thing they already ha

Sure, and we're talking about SQL nulls in this context, which is why I am strict in my definition.

by hobs 2y ago
No, it's not those other things, that's just using the tool incorrectly. A NULL is definitely "we dont know", not false, not N/A, especially not any known value.

I think that's more a pattern of your understanding growing over time. Most technical writing is actually at the start of the technical journey, there's more people there and its more interesting to talk about strategy and ideas w

It's not a myth (I wrote ATS systems, and you usually just pay some third party to do the core parsing job as a library or a service and take your failures on the nose) but at the same time most recruiters are NOT going into past resum

Add a meta rule - only pursue revenue sources that make both of you money - that's called being a good company. Many people will say I am leaving stuff on the table, and I say that they are literally parasites.

I was the one caught red handed fwiw.

Because analogy can be useful in explaining things, or it can be worse than useless - it ties our thinking up into side quests that have nothing to do with the matter at hand.

Absolutely caught red handed - but I dont think Apple paid out 100m because "eh its easier this way".

When you realize recursive SQL allows iterative calculation then you can pretty much do whatever you want, no matter how bad.

Allow it a week to finish all iterations and expect it to read >= 40TB of data. You can use nohup to put it as a background process. After a week, you can run the following command to collect the results into MongoDB and local CSV f
