Whaaat? That's awesome. Now I want to see how Crystal handles ETL pipelines.

You're really not. I created Bitfuture two years ago, which did exactly what this site purports to do. Derivabit did the same thing. Writing a platform that does this isn't that hard, getting legal approval is the main hurdle foll

I cannot recommend this tutorial enough. Do it three times in a row, you'll pick up a higher level of understanding each time.

The Ducktales one is definitely the best, I can no longer hear the theme music without thinking of it. The Robocop one has got to be the absolute boundary of what is allowed on YouTube.

No offense, but if you were really going to go for it as a math major I think a minor stumble like getting a 'B' would have just made you double down. Point set topology was the gut-check class for me. On the article topic, this i

Interesting write-up, Donne does not get enough discussion or credit. "Elegy II: The Anagram" [0] is in my mind the funniest poem ever written in the English language. Modern comics could not approach the amount of shade thrown in

I think part of the problem was that the person who had been writing all of his research papers for him the last several years had left the lab unexpectedly and the advisor had no feedback to give. I don't know, I became pretty demoral

This reminds me of the time in my doctoral program when I turned in a draft journal article to my advisor. He returned it a week later with no marks or written commentary whatsoever, other than telling me "do it again." I asked wh

I was just trying to start with really simple things like all of the weekly game scores and what rank the teams held at that point in time. I was surprised no one had this and I just had to write a scraper.

Yes indeed. I have an ongoing project with college football and I was surprised nothing good for this actually exists. Correctness and comprehensiveness is probably more important in my mind than having the information immediately. I'd

The main thing that I liked about using Hired.com during a previous job search was that they made the salary offers very transparent during the bidding phase and it completely avoided sticking me, the candidate, with the salary question. By

Why not triple it? Why not $100,000k a year for everyone?

I could refer you to an endless list of professional doorkickers who would strongly disagree. At most the lead man in an entry team would have a pistol solely because it is impossible to hold a ballistic shield and aim a rifle at the same t

Have you ever shot the rifle in the latter video (Kel-Tec Sub 2000)? It's actually very lightweight, ergonomic, and favored in my experience by women and those of smaller stature as opposed to say, a handgun. Everyone I've ever tr

I used to shoot at an indoor range north of Atlanta. Once a sheepish customer came in asking the clerks what they knew about the rifle laying in the parking lot. Apparently the federal agent who had just left the range with his issued M4-st

I disagree. The NRA has 4 million American members which I think makes it the largest lobby by membership. I doubt they're all pawns of the gun industry. If the NRA wanted to solely juice sales and sell more guns they would give heavil

Good article, glad to see some knowledgable firearms writing in the general press. This is how I've felt as a gun owner over the last two decades, translated into computing: Imagine that someone in California hacked into a power statio

When I was a data engineer we lived in this (well the beta when it was called 0xDBE). Composing complex queries was where this shined. I almost never used it for any writes or administrative behavior as it tended to freeze a lot (about a ye

Yes, we had great fun with it around the office and no careers were ruined. My manager rescheduled my 1-on-1 timeslot and used the mic drop to hilarious effect.

That figure has to be heavily skewed by the sizable HR department which tends to use a lot of contractors as well as the rapid expansion over the last few years. Engineering doesn't have anywhere near that kind of turnover.

I've been using Washio for two years and have loved it - 24 hour turn around for fresh clean laundry that is folded for me. It's been a great timesaver and luxury for me. Over the past few months though they've slowly raised
