  • RE: Talking baseball

    Congrats, Cubs.

    Amazing game, one of the best I've ever seen. Watched 3-9th, then started recording when the rain delay happened. Watched the 10th this morning and was still exciting, even...

  • RE: Template parameters

    I think it depends on what's going on in the script. If you reuse a pattern and have certain items repeated, this can be helpful.

    Using it sparingly doesn't mean...

  • RE: Server Hardware or Coffee?

    ZZartin (11/3/2016)


    It always surprises me that companies will have no issues putting up 6-7 figures on deployments in licensing/man hours but then put up a huge fight over an extra...

  • RE: Generating Our Own Bad Data

    ZZartin (11/2/2016)


    I don't feel it's the job of IT to play vigilante and hunt down people potentially abusing the system, unless you work in InfoSec and are just an evil...

  • RE: Generating Our Own Bad Data

    Ralph Hightower (11/2/2016)


    I don't think that a computer system could have detected the fraudulent activity at Wells Fargo. This was a systemic problem across the branches from the account representatives...

  • RE: Fantasy Football 2016

    SQLDCH (11/3/2016)


    Orange Engineers (4-4) vs Way0utWest Cowboys (6-2) - This is a huge week for the Engineers. A win (and key losses) could vault them directly into playoff contention,...

  • RE: Server Hardware or Coffee?

    Eric M Russell (11/3/2016)


    So instead of the traditional Scope Triangle of Time / Cost / Quality, we may need to now add Coffee.

    Ah, coffee is a given. No need to...

    That's my life in a nutshell. How to support super large reads on a single machine without breaking the bank.

    I think you're a bit of an edge case.

    Also,...

  • RE: Server Hardware or Coffee?

    bob.low (11/2/2016)


    Hmmm...seems kind of simplistic to look at purely hardware costs.

    What about software licensing costs? Now that Microsoft only licenses their Enterprise Edition through a per-core model, ramping up the...

  • RE: INSERTing datetimeoffsets

    Clearly I edited an answer somewhere, causing issues. It's certainly my fault. Our interface makes checking these items hard, so I have to be extra careful, and wasn't here.

    My apologies.

    Points...

  • RE: Generating Our Own Bad Data

    kiwood (11/2/2016)


    I think to even suggest that the IT department could/should have prevented the mess at Well's Fargo is dangerous and perhaps unethical. Consider the news: people who pointed out...

  • RE: Are the posted questions getting worse?

    Hugo Kornelis (11/2/2016)


    Hi Grant,

    Of course views are faster than stored procedures. And that cars are faster than laptops.

    Ah, laptops can be just as fast as cars

  • RE: Time is an hour out!!!

    I think this is because this version of the forum is old, prior to the date changes for DST. Right now, the UK has moved back to standard, but the...

  • RE: The Forever Technology War

    Rod at work (11/1/2016)


    Very good article, Steve. I think you make several good points. One that I want to emphasize is at the end. That's to ask someone struggling with...
