  • BWAA-HAA-HAA!  This was more of a test of knowledge about Christmas songs than I thought it would be. 😀

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

  • Delving into a bit of "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" trivia:

    While the song does list all Nine of the reindeer, it does not specifically say that Santa used all of them to pull the sleigh.

    You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen,

    Comet and Cupid and Donder and Blitzen.,

    But do you recall?

    The most famous reindeer of all?

    Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer

    Video evidence is provided from the stop-motion movie of the same name.

    Near the movie's end, Santa and his sleigh with Rudolph leading the way, is clearly shown against the night sky with only 7 reindeer.

    This suggests that Santa could use fewer than eight, at least when including Rudolph.

    PS, I enjoyed recalling how to convert from binary to base 10.

  • I included Rudolph.
