I agree that more recent generations advance monetarily through a series of jumps between organizations. However, I think that this quote is particularly salient to the felt need for recognition that your work is recognized and relevant and

This is a great line: > On the other hand, if I'm at a lower level and in fact I'm at a really higher level, it takes time, but it'll eventually rectify itself. A lot of people get wrapped up in a desired title and recogni

Wow! Thanks for this. I think it directly confronts many of the thoughts that I'd been entertaining.

I grew up in Orlando and my high school gym was a shelter for those displaced by Andrew. That stretches back quite a bit farther than 12 years, I know, but the image of folks living in the gym has been seared into my brain. It's part o

Give or take a century? So you're saying that the range could be 50-250 years?

I agree on your second point. 1200 people is a substantial population. However, we'd also need to read more about the details of the study to see how it was conducted and how controls were controlled and then, naturally, someone would

I thought that too. 1600 columns seems like quite a few columns.

Completely agree! I've often said that I didn't learn English grammar until I studied German, I didn't understand Linux until I read the Arch documentation, and I didn't comprehend relational data until I read the Postgr

As much as I hated to hear it a few years ago, it's a lifestyle choice. Within 10 months, I had wisdom teeth removed and a knee surgery. From this is developed a) portion control, and b) exercise habits (for rehab). I lost 75 lbs in ~1

One of the interesting things that Utah does is called "Housing First." As with most things, there are pros and cons to the program. However, Utah's analysis apparently exaggerated the affect that this program had on homeless

I find your perception of DBA work to be quite narrow. Too many comments on here are based purely on colloquial evidence and not enough actual communication and understanding.

I'm sorry you've had such poor experiences with Enterprise DBAs. It sounds like you're drawing upon your personal experiences to make generalizations about a profession. We all do it, but professionalism requires us to step b

I'm a dba so yes I can remember DBAs. I don't understand the condescension from you comment. As a DBA, I have never understood the argument of a mutating database as a solid justification. It just sounds lazy/unprepared, at b

This hits close to home. My dad was raised in this area and I go down here quite often to escape the stresses of "city life" (live in Denver) and spend time with my parents. He tells me so many crazy stories, mostly surrounding we

I like this utilitarian perspective and believe it could strike a good content/profitability balance if done correctly. Constantly pushing new hardware specs is what has allowed the novelty of franchises to wear off into tired rehashes

> Our addiction to instant and easy answers can be very problematic. Bingo. The rub between not wanting to reinvent the wheel and being forced to think through it on your own is a very real tension. However, I really like what you say he

I appreciate your response and I agree with you. However, you don't really address my point, which is that statistics skew can cause variations in query planning. Your scenario assumes a fixed data size with a homogeneous (or at least
