  • RE: Rounding problem

    I don't know that you need negative numbers. Just remember that with using floor, it will return the next lower integer. So if you were to use what spaghettidba...

  • RE: Finding / getting in touch with recruiters?

  • RE: Table structure with a VIN

    Lynn Pettis (6/4/2015)

  • RE: Should Salary Information Be Confidential?

    Alan.B (6/5/2015)


    In both cases this does not make the case for disclosing people's salaries at a private company. Anyone who wishes to disclose their salary should are free to do...

    The DevOps movement is ... bringing automation, scripting, and repeatability to both software development and operational deployment.

    In other words, the call to scientific method is good but is useless in certain aspects. It's good when everyone can reproduce the research (such as whether...

    Gary Varga (5/18/2015)


    It's probably unlikely that you ever found much value in the comments in a paying job.
