Too many ABBA references and not enough Black Flag. I need some more. Don’t ask what for.

Looks pretty similar to Redshift Spectrum.

This is the same bike I had. The drive belt eventually frayed/snapped. Sunny customer support was terrible and I got way more help trying to fix it on a Sunny owners Facebook group.

A huge problem with spending $400 is the build quality of the bike. I went down this exact same route last December. I bought the same Sunny bike in the link, an Apple Watch, a Wahoo cadence sensor, and an entry-level iPad. The Sunny bike broke after 3.5 months of regular usage, right at the start of Covid quarantine. I ended up replacing it with a high quality ~$2k Keiser M3i. The Keiser has been great the last 7 months.

So many people sleeping on DB Visualizer. It’s been around forever, can connect to anything with a JDBC driver, has a ton of features, and is updated frequently. My favorite is the ability to quickly full text search any query I’ve ever run.

Finally someone else who has felt that pain of GoodData.. I was hired to make it work after GD's consultants set it up at my current company. What a nightmare. It took a year+ but I finally convinced everyone that it was terrible and we switched to Tableau, which let us use our own db's instead of GD's terrible "logical data model"

No way it's as good as Kevin. http://savedbythebell.wikia.com/wiki/Kevin

Nice, good luck!

I worked at a large public 3PL for 8 years before joining a VC backed startup and at first glance the logistics industry seems ripe for disruption by smaller tech-driven companies. I'm super excited that there are companies out there trying to change the industry. My gut feeling however is that the large incumbents have long relationships, tons of cash, and people on the ground in hundreds of countries around the world. Those things might make it difficult for a startup. How do companies like flexport plan to compete with the Expeditors and CH Robinson's of the world? The place I worked would probably benefit greatly by acquiring a company like this and integrating their tech, but the culture would never allow that to happen.

This has a pretty nice look and feel to it, but I've yet to find something that competes with DBVisualizer (http://www.dbvis.com/). Connect to anything with a JDBC driver, auto-completion, SQL history, auto-generate insert statements using a table's data, etc. Great product.

Arq and S3 Glacier are a fantastic combo. Uploads encrypted diffs.

What language is it written in ?

The thing I've come to learn about salaries over the years is that, and I quote (myself): "If that person can get that, good for them. It's probably not their fault I didn't get it."

Lol, my first job out of college was as a DBA for a large US-based cruise company. I would go out to the ships to work on the databases used to maintain engine maintenance records. They would put me up in unsold rooms. One time all the rooms were sold so I was basically in a closet down the hall from the MORGUE. Where was my bigscreen, WHERE WAS MY BIGSCREEN~! :)

Google draft. It's the first result, ahead of things like the NFL draft, draft beer, NBA draft, etc.

Yay, more crowd-sourced content. Can't wait for the slideshows.

I'm a developer at a fortune 500 company focusing on Business Intelligence. We spent 2 years pumping out report after report, dashboard after dashboard on a new BI web platform. The first question always asked was "How do I get it in Excel?" Luckily after years of hearing this, IT management acquiesced and I am now in the middle of rolling out a data virtualization platform that allows users to connect directly with Excel to "virtual" databases that insulate them from having to write complex SQL. Lesson? You must bow down to Excel.

Looks great Nathan! Can't wait to try it out.

We started using Trello at work and a QA on the team instituted it at home with his children for household chores.

I don't know how much they paid, but it seems like the acquisition of Vertica was a great move. I use it everyday and it is a fantastic product.

Here's a funnier take on confronting an internet troll. Comedian Chris Gethard talks to a commenter who really didn't like his performance in the show "Big Lake."

Back around 2000 I took an old full-tower PC I had laying around and built a MP3 jukebox for my 1993 Volkswagen Fox. It ran Winamp with a plugin for a X10 Mouse Remote. I had a power inverter in the glove box and a fancy new stereo that had a 1/8" jack on the front. With a few bungee cords I secured the tower in the truck and the PC would boot every-time the car started. I skipped school for two days to build it. Without Winamp, I probably wouldn't have been able to do it. Kind of crazy that I can now hop in my car and play pretty much whatever I want using my iPhone & Bluetooth.

If that's the case, you should take an entrepreneurship class from him.

I loved the "FAILED" stamps on Oracle's mobile phone docs.

Lol, I initially read the link as:

The United States, visualized by distance to the nearest McDonald's (DISAPPOINTED.net)

The email client ? :)

Not my last name. Boxe comes from Chute Boxe, a Brazilian mixed martial arts team.

I'm a BI Developer for a big logistics company and I immediately hit up our data warehouse to see if we had ever moved this container. Alas, we hadn't. Only it's near relatives. :)
