I've done this a bit. I define ranges per numeric field and if it exceeds or is below that range, I send it to another queue for manual review. Sometimes I'll write rules where if it's a dollar amount that usually ends "

I totally agree with your first sentence. As a former enterprise data warehouse architect, it's interesting seeing some of the responses. Surprised I'm not seeing more Informatica and SSIS. I'll also say SSIS is a good soluti

I like how MS has done with this VS Community. It's full fledged VS Pro, but only free for companies with fewer than 250 PCs and less than $1M in ARR.

I've found that creating Markov chains are more human feeling (but maybe a bit overfit) if I use a n[0]-level deep look ahead for my generators. [0] where n is normally 2 or 3

At one point, I was building a service that allowed you to build digests of collections of feeds and presented the articles in a reddit-style view. Additionally, if others had the articles in their digests, it added a comment section. Is th

I like the way this is written. Did you use anything to generate the models and JsonProperty annotations?

For anyone interested in this, google “hacker news gravity algorithm” to see an interesting example of how sorting was done here at one time (as I understand it the algorithm has evolved).

I was working on creating an rss reader with a reddit-like interface that allowed follows, voting, comments, etc. The computational expense of a fancy sort algorithm based on factors other than just one non-computed column is immense once y

Well now I have no idea if you’re asking a serious question! To give a serious answer, it seems like most questions on forums like these are often not real questions, but rhetorical.

What about sodas like Dr. Pepper vs. Dr. Thunder? Do you think producing Dr. Thunder is ethically questionable from a business standpoint?

At this point, I like Azure Dev Ops more than the Atlassian suite.

Maybe someone should make a tool that randomly reorders your header includes until optimal performance is found.

I've found that, with the exception of daily stand-ups, all meetings must have a bullet point agenda and notes should be sent out for each meeting with risks, action items, issues and ownership of those items. If both of those things a

I used to be a TDD zealot. In recent years, I've taken a much more selective approach to test coverage. I typically focus my testing on pieces of code that contain business logic whereas I used to test everything. I've also found

SSAS is my favorite cube / OLAP data store. I know I'm in the minority, but I find it really user friendly for devs and users.

New versions of Excel allow you to import JSON through PowerQuery in the Data tab on the ribbon. Works pretty well.

If the loot boxes or micro-transactions are only for cosmetic items, I don’t mind them. If something is pay to win, I won’t play it.

When I saw Saag as a Service I was hoping for some kind of API where I could place and order through curl or something! Kinda like the EverQuest 2 pizza command. Good luck!

This isn’t really a punch in the face though, is it? If someone discovered you used racial slurs nine years ago, I think they would be justified in choosing to no longer associate with you or ask you to recant what you had said in the past.

From a self-interested standpoint, I don’t think Twitter cares that much about being a historical resource and this sort of curating / censorship is really about improving Twitter’s bottom line - not some grander notion of creating a t

I’m not sure I follow. All of those additional optimizations are pretty simple problems in the OR field.

They do threaten legal action if you lie about something on your SF-86.

Woah this is great! Spent about 3 minutes with it, but already like it a lot.

Not only unit movement (micro), but your ability to macro (manage your economy, produce new units, expand your base) will be great affected if you have low APM. In that sense, APM is very important. I'm confident I can beat any bronze

I'm not involved in those communities. Do they generally dislike when people go after individuals legally for violating the license?

I've taken the approach of building the monolith first with an architecture that allows me to easily pull parts of it out into services when I hit constraints and need that scalability.

Usually they have the policies, but choose not to enforce them. The rule is there so they can expel or severely punish kids at their discretion, but typically don't want to because that represents lost revenue if the kid leaves.
