Re:How do you document your mysql database tables and fields

SQL is pretty much self-documenting. But I still use hand-drawn diagrams showing how fields are related.

Whenever I see the word "monthly" on the web, I bookmark it and realize I'll probably never see it again.
Re:Did you ever get a job you didn't apply for?
on Thursday September 23, 2010 @08:55AM (#1719428)
When I was young I never had to apply for jobs. They would come and find me. Come to think of it, that's how it still works today, with a difference. Now the jobs are very brief. I get a phone call and quickly respond, get paid OK. Back then I would work for a year or so after each phone call. Job applications? Sure, done dozens of them. Results? Nil. The only way I have ever gotten decent jobs was by knowing someone who knew someone offering a job, or by walking in the door and speaking with the owner about why I want to work for him/her.

What worries me about it is simply the fact that just a few single-bit errors can make the entire disk unusable. Backup, backup, backup!

Wouldn't it be better to be able to recover the text for storage so you can submit it later?
Why does FireFox blank screens when it can't connect?
Wouldn't it make better sense to pop up a notification and allow me to save my text in case I might have to reboot?
Ask HN: Why does NetFlix have pop-up ability when I am running Adblock?
These pop-ups are annoying, and I dont's know how to stop them. My only theory is that some links I click are asking for it somehow. Yet I never knowingly click on a NetFlix link. I am puzzled, and would like it to stop.Comments on how to do so, please?
Encrypted Search / Google is no slower, in my experience
http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/05/search-more-securely-with-encrypted.htmlI know there has been a lot of chatter about whether encrypting the entire Internet would make things slower.In my experience, using a 2.9 GHz machine over medium-speed unencrypted wireless connection, SSL for Gmail and Search doesn't seem to be any slower at all. And I have the confidence that only the big boys can...

Stevens crash related to lack of technology he pushed for flight safety
FYI, I worked on what we called "DFR" - We have VFR and IFR, Yet in Alaska we need digital fusion. We called it DFR for Digital Flight Rules, but what we meant was Data-Driven flight. Free Flight is fine if you have enough data. We even tried (nearly 10 years ago, with funding provided by Senator Stevens) to allow NRO to provide satellite coverage. And if not, then commercial. It's not...

Thank you for the quick and authoritative response! I use wireless full-time so am stuck with SSL, Hopefully it is just a matter of time!
Why did Google Search remove the "Image" button?
Why did Google Search remove the "Image" button? I used it nearly every day. Even when I click "More" on the left it is no longer there. I use the Secure Search beta. Comments?

Re:Ask HN: Should I launch anyway if unhappy about my product?
on Friday July 02, 2010 @11:04PM (#1483121)
Keep going! You can't sell something you don't believe in! But don't try to make the v2.0 version before launching. Make sure v1 is something your identified customers will want and shove it out the door.
