@bluefeet Thanks for the tip, just went across the street and bought some. I like the taste better than the classic breakfast teas. The cinnamon & ginger is nice.

bluefeet

@TomV it's my favorite, I drink it every morning

Don't discriminate against chai with lunch, mid afternoon and with supper

Max Vernon

@TomV just FYI, I improved the edit.

bluefeet

@billinkc never, I'd drink it all the damn time if I didn't like it so much as a latte with tons of sugar and milk.

Aaron Bertrand

4:12 PM

Went to DC for a few days, then Outer Banks for 8 days, then Ottawa-Gatineau-North Bay Toronto for 6 days

Had a blast, need a limo divider between the front seat and back seat, though

Max Vernon

right - I forgot about the Outer Banks thing. It sounds like a cool place - did you get to do any sailing by chance?

Aaron Bertrand

"Daddy, was that an ambulance?"
"Daddy, look at the plane!"
"Daddy, can you fix the iPad?"
"Daddy, it's sunny out!"
"Daddy, how fast are you going?"
"Daddy, can I have some water?"
"Daddy, I have to go potty."
"Daddy, why is this drive so long?"
"Daddy, is there any fresh play-doh?"
"Daddy, what can I have for a snack?"

Max Vernon

I stumbled on this the other day - facebook.com/sailstilettocatamarans/info

Aaron Bertrand

^^^ that, constant, in four hour segments, is unhealthy

Max Vernon

@AaronBertrand lol! I remember those days well!

Aaron Bertrand

4:15 PM

Nah, I wasn't near anywhere that you could sail - all beach

Max Vernon

@AaronBertrand still, beach is pretty nice!

Aaron Bertrand

We were in Duck, and took the 4x4 beach all the way up past Corolla (where we saw wild horses) right up to the Virginia line,

We also took a drive down to Cape Hatteras

Max Vernon

sounds like a great time

Aaron Bertrand

So relaxing. I think I opened my laptop once all week.

Max Vernon

wow.

I really enjoyed the Hip concert. There was more than one or two teary moments there.

Aaron Bertrand

4:33 PM

Yeah the live show in Ottawa was amazing, but I can only imagine what it would have been like in Kingston.

I just want to say that this chat room is pretty awesome. I just had a really bad experience in one of the SO chat rooms which reminded me how helpful and welcoming you all have been whenever I drop by with a problem. Seriously, thanks for everything and never change!

Lamak

@mikeTheLiar now you've done it. How could you say "never change" to a room that @billinkc visits?

we are doomed

mikeTheLiar

@Lamak well I think it goes without saying that he should stop propagating the unholy disaster that is SSIS but I think he means well.

Lamak

@mikeTheLiar "he means well" <--- ok, didn't know you were talking of another user, thought we were speaking about @billinkc

so, it's all good

billinkc

My meanness is on fleek!

mikeTheLiar

@Lamak sorry I meant "he means well" as in "he is good at being mean".

billinkc

6:46 PM

Spelling, not so much

mikeTheLiar

Lamak

@billinkc you have a defender, don't know how you did it

mikeTheLiar

Mainly by helping me with SSIS problems so I can stop working on SSIS as quickly as possible

billinkc

Defender rules!

And for Paul...

Defender (1981 video game)

Defender is an arcade video game developed and released by Williams Electronics in February 1981. A horizontally scrolling shoot 'em up, the game is set on a fictional planet where the player must defeat waves of invading aliens while protecting astronauts. Development was led by Eugene Jarvis, a pinball programmer at Williams; Defender was Jarvis' first video game project and drew inspiration from Space Invaders and Asteroids. Defender was one of the most important titles of the Golden Age of Video Arcade Games, selling over 55,000 units to become the company's best selling game and one of the...

A: Database design to record occurences in tv show

It is a simple many to many table episodeID guestID The episode table should have a date The guest table should have a sex

> The episode table should have a date

Max Vernon

7:35 PM

@ypercubeᵀᴹ I generally prefer sexless guest tables.

ypercubeᵀᴹ

@MaxVernon the question mentions queries about gender distribution.

My fruitless attempt at humour was the unwanted correlation

date -> sex

Max Vernon

@ypercubeᵀᴹ - yah, that was a lame attempt at humor by me, as well.

Hey guys...

swasheck

what a horrible, horrible, horrible language

Q: Why parseInt(8,3) == NaN and parseInt(16,3) == 1?

I'm reading this but I'm confused by what is written in the parseInt with a radix argument chapter Why parseInt(8, 3) -> NaN and parseInt(16, 3) -> 1? AFAIK 8 and 16 are not Base3 numbers, so parseInt(16, 3) should return NaN too

Lamar

@swasheck have you ever shard your nosql before? I have some questions

swasheck

my only experience with nosql is mocking it mercilessly

Lamar

lol ok

so let me tell you the problem that I am having to understand the whole cycle of sharding and replicas set?

I know that sharding is a way to scale, and any data that come in get saved into different shard instances. replica is just having the same data inside of the same shard instance.

am I right so far @swasheck ?

Max Vernon

10:16 PM

Lol, @swasheck

Lamar

hello Max can you help me ? @MaxVernon

Max Vernon

FYI, for 10k+ users benefit - I deleted dba.stackexchange.com/a/147940/10832 because the OP needs to post his own code.

Sorry @lamar - I'm in the same boat as @swasheck
