For those that can't read Fahrenheit like us Americans.

YouTube has been my friend in that respect. That and experience.

Left over Pizza. That is all.

@bishnitro I think so. Suggestion would be to double check the HCL, but since it's not production environment, I wouldn't way too heavily on it.

I'd just go with a dedicated tower or nuc or something of that nature.

That was like 4 years ago.

Ideally you run ESXi on something like an Intel NUC that you can put on a shelf somewhere. Laptops aren't great for ESXi due to the headless nature of it.

I attempted this before (before ML and SW) and it never worked out for me.

On a NUC? It should "just work". What kind of issues did you run into?

Nope, sorry for the misunderstanding. On a laptop.

It's fully 80F here today... In February. Ridiculous.

Here too.

So I get an ical from the original person that will be interviewing me. Look at the domain name of his email, enter it as url, no website. Ok, check out what you said. The "Joe" domain name is an Loan underwritting website based out of NV.

Did you do the whois or is that the information that came from that?

@Texkonc said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

This is the reason I do not give out my social for the first stage of interviews, or DOB, or my real address. I will give that info to HR once I have an offer letter.
Oh, and there is a Joe in the mix too, but who is Joe? You didn't give me his info.

SSN & DOB before the first interview? Major red flags. I would run the opposite direction as fast as I could.

It was their rule, I simply obeyed it and carried it with me as a rule afterwards.

Even in graduate work I've gone to the dean and challenged using myself as a source and won

But how many others would take the time to batter the dean with semantics like you did until he just gave in? Very few.....

This comes to mind...

with some customized error script there....

You're going have to change up the lettering while keeping the font. Something humorous just to see if somebody picks up on it.

I remember this excerpt from back then and felt that he was on a little tirade for semantics and felt that it was a little bit unnecessary for what was needed. He should have just put "Its pronounced S-Q-L and not sequel." and left it at that instead of having a whole paragraph about how it makes him all upset because of pronunciation.

It would be like somebody calling TCP/IP a protocol in and of itself instead of an entire suite of protocols. This should be obvious to us to dig deeper into this if necessary, but I'm not going to go on a tirade explaining WHY it needs to be called a suite instead of just a protocol.

I know a few people that are in the S.Q.L. camp for any version. but everyone else i know jsut says sequel.

I don't care how you say it, I'm going to know what you are talking about anyways.

I am from Texas and we say ain't around here these parts. Now GEET OFF MY LAWN! GEET.

As far as wikipedia is concerned, I was not allowed to use it as a reference for any of my papers or it would not be considered a reference and that was the reasoning from the school. This was also 10 years ago too. Times change, and so might wikipedia now.

I didn't look into it too much deeper as I was just a fledgling college student with no credibility yet and so, no point on fighting about it. It was their rule, I simply obeyed it and carried it with me as a rule afterwards.

Stumbled upon this....

Is this a separate driving class for cleaning people or mob related?

There's a special snowflake working in that HR department.

First of all, I try very hard to never refer to Wikipedia as actual facts as anybody can change wikipedia at any moment in time. If I were to ever use wikipedia, then it would be just to familiarize myself with a particular subject.

Going back to my college classes and pulled the book from my database class. SQL (Second Edition)
Visual QuickStart Guide by Chris Fehily (2nd ed.) page xv "SQL isn't pronounced sequel; that pronunciation is a historical artifact. Avoid the error and articulate each letter: S-Q-L. m I disagree with people who claim that saying sequel is so common that nothing's wrong with it. You shouldn't say sequel for the same reason that you shouldn't split infinitives in your novel; it generally may be accepted, but it will rasp on the ears of knowledgeable people. Also, pronounce MySQL as my-es-kyoo-el and PostgreSQL as post-gres-kyoo-el (particularly if you are in a job interview)."

@scottalanmiller said in What is a Database Management System:

MySQL is proncounced "My S-Q-L", never "My Sequel." This is a commercial product with an official pronunciation.

Official or not, it has been MySequel to most for a long ass time.

I was thinking the same thing. Is it Data or Data?

It's not, because it is a proper name.

Or as they say in Star Trek, "One is its name, one is not."

Data is plural
Datum is singular

@scottalanmiller said in What did you have for lunch or dinner today?:

As a grocery store, it's good. It's not the ground breaking amazing place that NYers tell you. If you travel around the country or world, there are plenty of similar grocery stores. Kaufland in Germany, for example, is very similar but with a bigger selection. It's definitely a good place for customers, and if you are senior enough internally it can be okay, but in general, you'd be freaking embarrassed to work there.

So, its like working for Walmart in the south. Its kind of embarrassing to work there. Its almost just as embarrassing to shop there too.
