Correct. They don’t pay you to code. They pay you to solve problems, which normally ARE solved by code, but they really don’t care how.
Instead of a “renaissance man”, I’m a “renaissance nerd”. Pinball? Sure. Sci-fi? Of course. video games? Natch. 70’s Italian Prog-rock? A raison d’etre.

Yeah, it floors me that it doesn’t look see a high-entropy 8+ character strings and not keep it.
What the heck is actually going on in that first photo? I assume he’s not about to be concussed.
It’s on everything from how to help your career (mentoring, presenting , etc), to learning tips for Azure to solving problems to using advanced feature. Mine were on WMI collection for SQL Server servers (and how to tweak power settings, etc) and Event Notifications to get all code changes, errors, etc. I have seen presentations on R, Python, MySQL, but also seminars on Service Broker, AWS, index tuning, and running MSSQL in Kubernetes or on Linux.
Are you kidding me? Why did the performance on this query start sucking this morning. Was it statistics? Plan recompilation? Plan sniffing? Bad plan? Somebody else running queries on the same spindles? Oh, it’s certainly magic.
Misdirection is one of the hallmarks of a magician, is it not?
SQL Server. Dozens of free events a year, one in most major cities, 20-40 Sessions/Presenters, token payment that covers lunch (and ensures attendance).
The main event (PASS Summit) is held yearly, has 150 to 200 presentations/presenters, and presenters admission is free. It’s a community event and it’s freaking fantastic.
Heck, the events I present at are a freaking fantastic time - so much so that the hardest part is getting in to present.

1mb would take around 6 minutes, since IIRC your speed would be closer to 28.8 than 56 (I seem to recall that 56k was in large part due to compression, and those file types are all compressed).
I used it for a good 2-3 years. More than anything, it was stable and reliable. Updates worked fine and it handled all my hardware, which I’d run into problems with on other Linuxes. No complaints, though migrating versions was a WTF, because there was no clear path with CLOS, so wound up learning Debian and their Toy Story-based version naming convention.

Odd recommendation from a friend’s doctor after said friend passed a stone: drink a beer a day. He said lemons helped (lemonade, lemons in tea) but the beer was 100% from what the doc had seen. And no, I don’t know why or what kind.
