With respect to your comment about time spent with your child, I was in a similar boat a couple of years ago: I was weighing the implications of taking a new job that came with a significant salary increase, but aslo had the massive downsi

Just curious why Tibco Spotfire was omitted from your process. If you're looking at Qlik, Spotfire is pretty feature-similar.

In all seriousness, would this be a good candidate for using as a sort of "dummy" travel laptop? I'm thinking of something along the lines of sealing off the ports too. That way, if intercepted or taken for "inspection&q

A little off-topic: Not sure when you attended schools in Greenville, but I was in elementary school there back in the mid-80s. It was only a few years back that I learned about an ugly little side of the school system there. Back in that

We've been having this discussion on HN for years now, and I haven't seen many workable alternatives to the current system as it applies to pharma. A lot of this boils down to risk and risk mitigation. Because the monetary outlay

A sealed container? I'm not following the physics on this. I can only assume you're talking about evaporative cooling of some sort. This was not an open container.

Reading the article helps. One of these tarps cooled a container of water underneath it by 8°C during an overnight test: "We further demonstrate the effectiveness of radiative cooling for a relatively large thermal mass using water as

With respect to the Bolt, I haven't heard anything about level 4 autonomous driving capabilities. That's a feature I imagine many future Model 3 owners are willing to wait for.

I'm in the same boat. My current MBP is a 2012 model, yet it has 16GB of RAM already. The biggest boost I would hope to see in a new MBP would come from increasing the RAM (I do a lot of work with large data sets and ETL, plus I run

The article highlights the Oracle flavor of this functionality, but similar windowing operations are available in PostgreSQL[1] and SQL Server[2]. Edit to add that I have no idea if JOOQ supports windowing functions in non-Oracle systems.

There will undoubtably be a number of good responses here to your question, but I'd like to share my opinion. For me, the answer comes down to tooling. I make frequent use of Integration Services, Reporting Services, the Server Agent,
