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 h…

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…

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 byproduc…

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 tel…

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…

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 reasonabl…

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 live…

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 compan…

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/…

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…

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 perfo…

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 ca…

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…

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 de…

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…

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 ab…

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

> I've shown my resume to various people in the field and they said it was fine aside from a few conflicting opinions of moving one thing somewhere else or other minor details. I l…

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…

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…

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 ro…

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…

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 t…

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…

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