3rd normal form says no total on invoice, just sum up line item every time...which is idiotic UNLESS you are building a system to process transactions for individual line items and need to avoid blocking between line item transactions.
Even 3rd normal form is over normalized for 90%+ of database applications. OLAP is not OLTP.
Think about where you store price for line item (if your a 3rd normal form purist). Can't be on lineitem, redundant to pricing, so has to link to pricing data with full history.
Fastest way to get a resume to the circular file is talking about normal forms higher than 3rd.
Most places, property is just now approaching it's bubble price, without inflation factored in, so still down about 30%, 10 years later.
By walking away, in many cases the buyer was able to halve his/her bottom line cost. That's real money. Depending on if there was a foreclosure or not, some could cycle back to eligible for a mortgage, in a year.
Like I say, It's been a while. But our clients were trading large double digits (about 30% of N America) of the power in north America, Europe and Australia...on VBA...at least we got rid of the Access backend...
Prospective CS or EE students should all know how to code before entering University. Maintainable code is all about experience.
Embedded coding is still often about squeezing it all into a small footprint. Hasn't really changed that much at that end. Still hand tuning assembler and C. It might look like '1970s style' to you, but you can't do it...
BS in CS isn't a qualification for language design, OSs or compilers anyhow, GP is just wrong.
A PhD who wrote their thesis on some interesting aspect of languages could be useful in a language design team. A BS has likely taken one semester of applicable coursework.
The PhD in language theory is the last guy you want to hire to maintain a big old stack of SQL backed reports...typical entry level, half test, type work for a recent BS in CS.
Just never hire BAs in CS. Q: Who gets and 'Arts' degree in a science? A: Someone who went to the WRONG university or someone that missed the BS graduation requirements and took the consolation prize.
No matter how apparently brilliant or experienced, they all start doing code maintenance. No faster way to learn the structure and experience some maintenance pain.
CS is weird, at different universities it comes from different schools.
3 categories, CS program comes from: Math, Engineering or Business. They produce very different graduates.
From business school, worst graduates, learned a fair amount of practicals, but very weak on math and theory. Beware the Java only monkeys.
From engineering school, close to the silicon, at least they've most likely learned an assembler or two. Likely best coders.
From math, loads of theory. Avoid CS majors that don't code, especially those that think they're 'above coding'. Talk about database normal forms past the 3rd. Those are net negative workers, but their are good ones.
In my experience the best single interview question remains: How many languages have you coded in? The right answer is...long pause...how are we counting? Even for a recent college graduates (the good, recent college grads have about 8-10+ years of coding under their belts). Follow up is: Which do you like best and why?

If you can check it, your union boss can be over your shoulder checking as well. Not acceptable.
_Nobody_ disputes that Trump's 'shithole' characterization is _accurate_. Just that he was supposed to be more diplomatic than that.
Gerrymandering, when done by the Ds is a good thing. Just ask any of them.

Speaking of delusions. Oxford is one of the universities that gives 'Science' degrees in basket weaving. Which is another problem altogether.
In the long term, everybody is dead.

Because they have a _lot_ of dirt on each other. Specifically the DNC and RNC could end each other.
You first becoming aware of something does not a craze make.
Penny stocks have been scams forever.
The major reason is that walking away was the SMART move when your upside down by 50%.
A house built by an architect might fall down.
But a house built by an engineer should be torn down.
Old, old joke.

I'll see your physicists and raise you applied math PhDs.
OMFG! What steaming piles they can produce.

It's been a while. Does it still leak memory like a sieve?
Not useless, but if it had to stay up? Wasn't the right tool for the job.
What's the point? Last election they went to recount a district in Detroit.
Found less than 1/4 of the votes they had reported, quickly stopped recounting and tried to hush it up.
Guess who all those votes were for...
Just wrong. Completely backwards. Look at actual stats for loan delinquency, then get back to me.
The weight is in rollover protection. The car is, more or less, the same size.
More power is _never_ a waste.
Ellison was first a big proponent of thin clients.
His technical vision is: 'Selling the chumps whatever will make me the most money, this week.'
Highest customer sats in the industry?
So the clients only want to burn the sales weasels alive, not all their descendents? Good to know.
Just like SAP.
Even better, if you hate your employer, sign the Oracle contract and take the no show Oracle job for 10x your previous salary.
Only if you shot them at graduation. Lawyers are a huge social liability.
