Feed: Planet PostgreSQL. I want to take a few minutes for a deep dive into the effect your data model has on storage density when using PostgreSQL. When this topic came up with a customer, I explained my thoughts on the matter, but I realized at the time that I had never done a reasonably careful apples-to-apples test to see just exactly what the effect is, at least for a model sample size of one. So here it is ... Read More

Feed: R-bloggers. Author: Lorenz Walthert. How do you program? I feel like there is a lot of advice out there, but most ofit focuses on the micro level rather than on the macro level.

Basically, if you haven't taken a calculus class, you're not going to be able to follow along. But, do ... Read More

Feed: Liquid Web. Author: Curtis McHale; When I was starting my web development business, I made the mistake of putting all my effort into getting new clients. New clients would get my attention when I was trying to win the work, but then we’d move from the “dating” phase and into the “real relationship” phase as they became a client. Unfortunately, I underperformed during this transition period when crucial client care was needed.I had set expectations about my services as we negotiated before the project began, but I came up short on service after the contract was signed deposits were ...

Feed: SAS Blogs. Author: Andreas Becks. When we talk about artificial intelligence (AI) and ethics, we are not referring primarily to dystopian applications in which an autonomous robot stubbornly makes decisions about life and death without human control in Terminator fashion.
