I've started drinking 3-4 pints of water in the morning. I don't feel hungry at all until lunchtime so my eating window is now probably 12-5pm which is pretty short. I might report back if I lose any weight! Bonus is that I'm

I have worked in a similar area e.g. I was technical manager for BI and data/database on a biggish product. First thing that jumps out is that people are interested in volumes of data and throughput. The other is that you should mentio

Who is this trusted brand you're talking about? I think companies need to decide what their core business is and if it's something where their business is embedded in the technology in some way they have to realize they're an

I seem to remember Bertrand Russell having some good ones on philosophy, war etc. This is the one I remember most. https://harpers.org/archive/1932/10/in-praise-of-idleness/

Yeah, missed going to Download Festival (UK) this year too! And jamming with friends. And going to family swimming pool with the kids. Still I've just been for a lovely walk along the river in the sunshine.

Can you explain the lockdown rules and what area you're in? In the UK I'm now in the highest risk area and still allowed to walk and cycle from home and travel around my county by car. That could easily be a 20 mile walk or 50 mil

Given it's been 20 years I'm sure it's not anything obvious, but the main reason I get headaches is dehydration or blocked sinuses. Other likely reasons would be caffiene/sugar spikes. What is your general state of healt

Any idea what would be a decent home printer for work ( and some schooling). It would be nice to have colour but maybe something like this would be more appropriate. It's never been an issue before as I've always been office based

We had an awful set up at a major company where you were told to wait at your desk and you might receive a phone call (days of desk phones). It was pretty clear what that phone call would mean. People were joking about it and prank calling

That's pretty sad. Last year I was trying to get in a bit better shape. I was regularly doing over 100 push ups in an evening, some kettle bell workouts, kayaking at least once a week and cycling once or twice a week up to 100 miles in

I not sure why you mention 40 somethings being still able to walk in the mountains. That seems pretty normal for my peer group, but I agree that might not be the case for others. My dad was able to do fairly strenuous days in the mountains

Pretty much what the other guy said. I'm likely to be working with Snowflake soon hosted on Azure. Existing warehouse is on Oracle and is costing >1 million pounds per year in hosting and licensing. For enterprises with expensive li

UK 100% back to school now. Hope it will continue that way as life is a lot easier for us and them at the moment and they seem a lot happier and will learn more effectively.

We have a 50% kind of deal so holidays aren't a major problem although I was told not to take the children overseas. Not a problem this year! I've enjoyed a week in Wales this year and a week in Scotland last year. Can be a bit aw

Thanks for the reply. I've been looking after the kids 3 days a week plus half of weekends and holidays for 2 years now. Sleep was a problem for a bit but the kids are 5 and 6 now and sleep well. I didn't eat much last year and ex

I've got a feeling when I was younger in the 80s/90s people stayed in the same job for most of their career and had a huge hierarchy of people above them. Processes were largely manual and paper based and so completely understood

Or as the kids say "that escalated quickly!" No surprised it didn't really go anywhere, but an excellent resource if you have the time.

If you can, be brave and try and talk to people. Even a chance encounter at work, in a cafe, or in the park can make you feel good. I've recently discovered the more you express kindness and empathy or even a basic interaction with oth

Also single dad with 2 young kids in the UK. Got divorced last year, so this year has been a challenge for the same reasons you mentioned! Grateful to have work and spend lots of time with the kids although they are back at school now. I&#x

After watching the first few weeks of Handmade Hero [1] I realised my idea of hard work and dedication was different to a lot of people I was trying to emulate. Doing this as a spare time, free project and the amount of knowledge and exper

I started work in 1998, first thing I worked on was part of the Bank of England regulatory reporting software used by 100s of banks. I'm pretty sure some of that will still be in use. The next thing I worked on was for British Gas for

You aren't that old. I've been doing Oracle PL/SQL development with reporting/BI for over 20 years. I started doing Java dev and found out that it's really a full time job to have a decent awareness of all the Java

I can't assume there will be much social distancing at school. My ex-wife has had the illness once but suffered no ill affects, slight cold for 2 days so it's possible the kids and I have had it although they isolated for 2 weeks

I'm a little confused at the current situation in the US. It seems in the UK that the priority will be to get schools back full time in September. My kids have been in school 2 days for the last few weeks before summer and just had a c

I guess the main alternatives are: 1. Working it out for yourself 2. Reading a book 3. Asking a friend [EDIT] I'm not really joking, I started programming in the 80s as a kid reading stuff like this as the only book http://w
