CTEs aren't for creating a simple value. They are for creating a table variable.

Take it, but don't stop the ruby. At this stage it is worth getting as much programming experience and direction as possible.

I agree that you can't learn to program from sitting in lectures, but they can help you. They can help especially in conjunction with well chosen programming assignments. Most prog…

while it's possible that mentioning it to your employer may have negative consequences, I think it much more likely that your employer will get you what you need as far as an ergon…

small mice always cause me problems

before spending $1000, adjust your chair, keyboard, and mouse so that your posture is good, your shoulders are relaxed and your wrists are in a neutral position. You may not be abl…

I think you went to the wrong school. you should not have been doing boring monotonous busywork in any program at ANY college/university. I double majored in Economics and Computer…

While I see the point of such a thing, I don't like the idea of only reading the posts of people sharing my values/ideas. I already have my values/ideas and reading them will reinf…

I had over half of the class accused of cheating in an undergrad class. He let them off the first time without including the grade on that assignment, but warned that it would not …

My professor's view was also that D and F were pretty much the same also, you can't get very many Ds and stay in school. D is kind of like a "high fail." I believe we were limited …

I always thought this was an issue at my school. Fail the students who need to fail. Supposedly we had a rule that no more than 25% of a class should fail. I was in classes where m…

> Of course nobody is going to walk 3 miles, that's stupid. What is stupid about that? Every day at lunch a group of 4 of us go on a three mile walk. Most days we stroll and it tak…

I understand the risks of raw milk and want it. I also understand why we have it regulated. I would like to relax the regulation to allow me to get raw milk in some situations. but…

the parent isn't saying anything about it being so important, he is saying that not regulating isn't working is some particular cases.

the problem is that no milk will be uncertified. There will be certain certifiers that will certify anything, and it will be extremely difficult for a buyer to tell the difference.…

teachers seem solidly in the middle for the three groups. This brings up something interesting, as a group, we like to think of ourselves as above average when compared to other di…

this has been my only problem with hn. good links. great discussion. can't get more links w/out going back to the top

As another Eco Major I think I agree with you. The problem is that runs on banks are like a giant prisoner's dilemma. Everyone is better off getting out if there is a problem, and …

A different kind of gross mismanagement: One that involved less fraud, and backroom transaction. I agree that SOX is probably not particularly useful. Although it does target some …

What I'm saying is that just because a particular set of regulations didn't help in a particular case doesn't mean that regulation is worthless. SOX was created primarily intended …

What's with all these speed limits? People still get murdered. There are two lessons in this. We don't need speed limits, and they don't do any good

It's never particularly bothered me to see posts get downmodded with no explanation, but I like the basic idea. This lets both the poster know and other readers. This may cause a p…

This is a fair point. I certainly agree with what the article is saying, but the presentation is one-sided. There is no mention of alternative explanations for the decline in abili…

No. This site is about discussion, and the questions are appreciated for the discussions that ensue, not because they are so helpful to the askers

I think It's clear that what is important is the skill that this person has. However, this is likely a good indicator that the student has not put a lot of energy into the field be…
