Ok thank you! I appreciate from your POV this probably is silly but for us it’s very helpful to have explicit clarity since investors are questioning and demand certainty. I once had to rewrite https handshakes because a lawyer thought expo

So this is a very relevant question and I have been trying to figure out if I need to migrate off timescaledb asap coincidentally over the last 2 weeks (We're pre-production anyway, so it's the time to do so!). Doing so has been s

We looked at it and there were a few problems we had with where it would force us to put VMs that we just weren't super comfortable with due to the in-process-ness. More a byproduct of decisions made 5 - 7 years ago when the company wa

Honestly with the schema thing I'd probably be fine with either/or! A checksum would be crude and user-hostile, only being able to say "you did it wrong" but not really good at tell you what it means to do it right. If I

Yeah - I used to lead a department that would process somewhere around 10TB of CSV formatted data per day. The edge cases are a hassle but they don't become less of a hassle from a business perspective by switching to json or really an

On the flip side, the only time I've ever felt like my work was fulfilling and valuable was when was under-compensated and insanely overworked (like 80 hours was a pretty reasonable work week).

The "Tiny town" is 70,000 people who live in an multi-city metro area of around 600,000. That may not be like SF or NYC big, but it's also not just a random metro area. Having lived there for a few years, you're painting

I've worked with several recruiters who are trying to shop around as an outsourced recruiter. Basically, they take your resume and slap their name on it in an effort to show companies "You should use me because I provide well-qual

As of Windows 10 1903 you can set the codepage of the application to UTF-8 - in fact for UWP Microsoft recommends you do that ( https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/design/globaliz... ). Unfortunat

I work in this industry as well. That said - private label is a small (but growing) area in the US markets, so it's hard to make a generalized statement of how much someone does or does not participate. Many retailers are beginning tie

A struggle I've had is I'm used to casing performance in terms of errors or negative feedback. So far the feedback I've had is almost all positive (team is far above previous performance, flight risk is far lower than other d

I'm really glad you were able to avoid that scam. That's super scummy. I built this premise because I do read a lot of car forums and, quite frequently, people would ask "Hey my car is doing XYZ" and a lot of responses w

To be honest a lot of your suggestions are probably very solid but come off like the "Find a mechanic you can trust" solution. By that I mean the advice of "find a mechanic you can trust" only is applicable to someone al

I've been working on this for a product launch we are trying to do and have had the problem you are talking about. The problem is that explaining that without ending up mired in detail is much harder than people give it credit. I'

You nailed why I think many object oriented designs fall flat. People presuppose both that the objects within their domain encompass all objects (just students and courses) as well as that the objects within a domain will not change. When #

Yeah BA is way over-priced, but aside from a few of their completely nonsensically simple recipes I've never made anything comparable for $2 - $3 a person. The $5.50 mark sounds about right for me in the midwest and I'm buying pre

Fwiw, this page blocks when you come from HN. I suspect the author wouldn't want their stuff posted here.

I am also often similarly loathe to apply to positions without posted salary ranges. Unfortunately, in my experience, it's often "taboo" to bring up pay early-on in the discussions. But on the flip side, I've found that

Anecdote to back up what you wrote: When I bought my first home my loan (P+I) payment was $1300 per month on average (paid every 2 weeks), which was not only affordable but cheaper than what I was renting at once you accounted for interest

The standard rounding for financial applications is typically Banker's Rounding, which is another way of describing rounding to the nearest even. E.g. 1.5 rounds up to 2 but 6.5 rounds down to 6. Over the long haul, this method of roun

Yeah - not surprised the DNX stuff is wonky. It seems like every time there's a new project format the first version is just really awful. I think they really only test it on small almost toy-level projects thoroughly but fully conject

I hate to say this, but a lot of your issues might also be coming from the TFS integration. I know I used to have a bear of a time with random crashes and issues. Since switching to git & resharper I have had a much, much easier time. W

We use git exclusively as a Windows-based shop and only 1 person uses the git integration with Visual Studio. Everyone else uses different solutions from tortoise to source tree to command line. I think there's definitely a decent mark

.net is moving away from LINQ? Where is that and how did I miss this? Do you have a link? That seems totally insane.

Honestly, I'm not sure. I mean, I play games too - don't get me wrong. I am not sure how much of gaming comes down to being healthy or not and how much is just the culture. The very limited exposure I had to ingress involved a lot

I don't think [many/most] gamers consider gaming to be "a real addiction" - especially FPS games. I definitely have friends that I don't want to play games, I don't talk to them about games, and when the subjec

There's a ton of typos on the site, advacned, word per minute, etc. As aesthetics1 mentioned, the test itself is nearly impossible to type quickly because of the jarring. In fact, the faster you type the worse this jarring is. In terms

That's crazy. I don't know why people do that :-( I don't know that I would take their numbers as gospel but to be fair in the tech industry it's probably more accurate when I think of it.

Why 2400 hours - that's 46 hours a week! Maybe a founder is working that much, but generally they over-work and it's proven more than the tenuous 7 hours of sleep a night thing that 45+ hours a week is bad. e.g. http://
