@Raynos yes
If you check the roll call, you'll see some familiar names who hang around on SQL questions on SO, SF and of course here

I see. This is actually useful I can ask occassionally questions
Like "If I still don't understand indexes should I stop touching databases?"

@Raynos That's many folk I'd like to say that too
But it keeps me employed and keeps my rep flowing

I feel like "Shit, I do maths, Y I NO LEARN RELATIONAL SET THEORY BEFORE I TOUCH DATABASE"
That's why I jumped ship into noSQL \o/
I now just push json around and forget about understanding things

@Raynos That's probably the most damning thing I've ever heard about NoSQL actually...

Depends on your use case
NoSQL makes a lot of sense for a lot of web-based things

I never used one, so I guess I shouldn't judge, but too often it seemed like it was used as an alternative to properly managing a relational database
And I can only imagine what sort of clusterf*ck that results in

social networking is a good example, BASE is alright since it isn't vital if you get your friend's status now or in a few minutes
eventual consistency is OK for that stuff
it's also OK to have undefined data structures since you basically are just displaying the data and not doing much with it
it's not OK for business intelligence or accounting or transaction processing

I noticed, the original image clearly was a JPG though, it has the compression artifacts
 
Nick Chammas
Nick Chammas

Ben Brocka

Nick Chammas
Nick Chammas

@jcolebrand I've updated the BI Merge question to trim some of the crud from the OP. Everyone happy with that?
 
Nick Chammas
Nick Chammas
@BenBrocka when you post the cleaned version (how are you doing that btw? I'm curious) ping jcolebrand so he can ping Jin to have it deployed
 
jcolebrand
jcolebrand
@ConcernedOfTunbridgeWells I think that'll work

@NickChammas I was just clearing the artifacts around the text with blackness, nothing fancy
