  • RE: What Helps You Learn?

    I learn best on my own. For something brand new, I like examples to follow (rather than a recipe format). For something I already have a base understanding of, then...

  • RE: Up, Up, and Away

    Driving on the left isn't so bad. The trick is to keep paying attention after you think you've got the hang of it (it only takes a glance in the...

  • RE: How Far Have You Traveled for a SQL Saturday?

    As an attendee, the furthest I've travelled is 285 miles / 459km (from Madison to Minnesota). Minnesota is the furthest I regularly go to as an attendee, but that's because...

  • RE: Democratic Data Science

    Grunt work is automated, thoughtful work is done by (well-paid) humans. If you're not doing the latter, you might not have a job with the former.

    As career advice, this...

  • RE: Bias, the Serial Killer of Diversity

    And I said this earlier, which is why I keep getting notifications on this thread, but I think Kelly did an excellent job with the editorial.

    This is a huge...

  • RE: Bias, the Serial Killer of Diversity

    Bias isn't an accusation. Everyone has biases.

    It's not unreasonable to ask people to consider those biases when they're making a judgement call about whether or not to hire a...

  • RE: Bias, the Serial Killer of Diversity

    Great to see such a well-written editorial on such an important topic.

    While not everyone has experienced the exact scenario described in the editorial, I'm sure many can relate to...

  • RE: Backups Over Time

    I found some old files on a CD-ROM last month. Files I'd somehow deleted or lost from my computer (or left on an old computer when I transitioned).

    That was when...

    Many years ago I worked for a company as a computer operator (paid OT) where you were paid one hour straight time for every 4 hours...

  • RE: Dexterity Matters

    This happens frequently to me when browsing a website from my phone.

    The page opens, I'll click a link or a button, but at just the same moment an image...

  • RE: On formatting SQL code

    I do care about formatting. I find it much easier to read code that's formatted in a specific way (much easier to understand and much easier to spot mistakes).

    That said,...

  • RE: Spousal Surcharges

    Personally, I think if you're going to reduce an existing benefit, there should be a commensurate increase in salary for those affected.

    I also think the savings are short-sighted. It's a...

  • RE: A Good Use for Hadoop

    I've found Netflix's rating predictions to be very accurate. It's enough that if they predict 3 or fewer stars for me, I won't bother watching the movie.

    I'm sure they're up...

  • RE: Correct Old Mistakes

    It would be fascinating to hear from the developers in stories like this (at least anonymously).

    Was it due to pressure, or was it due to a lack of experience/knowledge? I've...
