A Short Guide to How I Built Web Pages in 1999

Lol, I do the same thing with Oracle at my oppressively bureaucratic workplace. Servers? No. New software? Fuck no. It's amazing what I've managed to make this clunky language do, …

Fortunately we're reacting ahead of time. Universities, rec centers, and public facilities are shutting down. We are also in the process of setting up a Korean-style drive through …

Hey EU, it looks like Microsoft hasn't had enough of an anti-trust beating!

This is actually best practice from a Maker vs Manager perspective. http://www.paulgraham.com/makersschedule.html Managers should group all dev meetings into one meeting day so tha…

Uhhh no they don't, unless you're referring to absolute monarchies like Saudi Arabia. Constitutional rights apply to all in a specific geographical region. "Congress shall pass no …

Oracle -> SAS BI An expensive, outdated stack that is only in place because our IT department is paralyzed. At least SAS is very good to their clients.

I took my undergraduate business degree at the same time as a colleague took his MBA. They were similar enough that we were taking exams on the same topic at the same time. I'd onl…

#2 is my life. AWS is cheaper overall but that transition takes a ton of cash, because you have to pay the DBAs AND Oracle AND Amazon until you can transition to AWS (or Azure).

Make sure to post it here when you have the article written up, I'd love to read it!

I could actually use exactly that. Do you have a blog outlining how you did it, or the code on github by any chance?

They're island hoppers. Victoria to Saltspring would probably fit in that 9 minute threshold, and 30 minutes is about the longest flight they have. Wondering if you know if there a…

That's why I fly Harbour Air. Downtown Vic to Van in 25 minutes. I can't wait to fly electric.

4 months should be enough. If they aren't doing their best when on probation then they're an idiot, and if they're not doing well then how bad are they going to be after probation?…

We draft a test tailored to each position. I couldn't even imagine using some canned crappy algo test. People claim more skill on their resume than they typically have, so having a…

Absolutely. HR is a risk management organization. They are not there to help your manager hire you. They do not care about you.

Absolutely. The League of Nations failed explicitly because Italy and Japan told everyone else to fuck off. The UN Security Council is the only real teeth which is why every superp…
