The parable of the vending machines. Posted by Joe Ulfers. July 28, 2016. This is a story that I read somewhere, but I can’t remember where: You frequent a place with two vending machines. Over time, you learn that one of the vending machines is unpredictable: sometimes it gives you your candy and sometimes it doesn’t. The other vending machine, however, has always given you your candy, every … Continue reading →. Posted by Jon Canty. July 26, 2016. Old data is valuable. Posted by Joe Ulfers. In my young...

Posted by Jon Canty. December 31, 2015. 2015 is almost over and as I successfully predicted, we all spent too much time working. That was last year.

There will be a variety of alternative review platforms competing for a very, … Continue reading →. Making batch files with Excel. Posted by Joe Ulfers. December 29, 2015. Posted by Joe Ulfers.

Yes, I can do that! Posted by Jon Canty. July 19, 2016. In my younger/wilder days, when I had no view of the big picture and getting the job done was the only thing that mattered, I took to exciting and creative methods so that the answer could always be “Yes, I can do it! 8220;Jon, we need to tiff all of these transaction logs. Like now! 8220;Let me get right on that! You might feel like you are offering the perfect service experience, but you’re probably not. Old data is valuable ». Inclusion versus ex...

How much longer? | Sandline Blog

Posted by Joe Ulfers. July 7, 2016. I like to cook, but only vicariously: I watch cooking shows, then order food. My years of experience have taught me many things, such as that it is hard to find good barbeque. Barbeque requires careful management of temperature, a delicious rub, and time. How long? There is a simple rule: however long you think, it’s longer than that. Is estimating, then, hopeless? No usually you are not cooking ribs in the rain with only half a box of matches and sawdust for fuel....

Posted by Joe Ulfers. May 31, 2016. From time to time, we need to look under the hood of our tools and do things directly to the underlying databases, using, of course, the Structured Query Language, SQL. SQL is dangerous, in a great power-responsibility way. Updating data in a SQL database has no “undo” option. If you are using Microsoft’s SQL Server … Continue reading →. Posted by Joe Ulfers.

Inclusion versus exclusion lists | Sandline Blog
https://blog.sandlinediscovery.com/2016/08/02/inclusion-versus-exclusion-lists
Inclusion versus exclusion lists. Posted by Joe Ulfers. August 2, 2016. For file type filtering, do you use inclusion or exclusion lists? We rarely recommend inclusion lists. But we should revisit what the question implies. Typically, the list includes file extensions; alternatively, it may be something like automatic classifications out of a file type sniffer, or a combination, but the principle and caveats are the same. With file extensions, for example:. Extracting files from archives, such as zips.
