So it's not then because users may turn into (what was it) caterpillars or butterflies?Ibix said:If I understand right, it's a tool for managing data that comes from multiple sources and goes to multiple sources in unpredictable bursts. LinkedIn apparently developed it - obviously their data comes in little messages from millions of users whenever they feel like posting something and publish it to your friends or whoever. Apparently it's designed to smooth out "bursty" data to be friendly to network traffic and disk operations. It's "optimised for writing", which is apparently a reference to Kafka the author - hence the name.
Or maybe that butterflies turn into users...WWGD said:So it's not then because users may turn into (what was it) caterpillars or butterflies?
Jay Kreps chose to name the software after the author Franz Kafka because it is "a system optimized for writing", and he liked Kafka's work.WWGD said:I wonder if they chose Kafka instead of more famous writers, e.g., Shakespeare, to avoid Copyright issues (or just plain confusion?)
Danke, both, so not optimized for mental illness. Wonder if Kafka has someone guarding his intellectual property to avoid using this name.fresh_42 said:Jay Kreps chose to name the software after the author Franz Kafka because it is "a system optimized for writing", and he liked Kafka's work.
Yes, he had, Max Brod. He published his work instead of burning it.WWGD said:Wonder if Kafka has someone guarding his intellectual property to avoid using this name.
Thanks for the Max(Broad) tip, I am dealing with Min(Row_Number) per @Ibix tip.fresh_42 said:Yes, he had, Max Brod. He published his work instead of burning it.
Why would I escort service. Where do I escort them to? Greeks were fighting machines. I am not fighting machines.fresh_42 said:Escort service?
There is a surprisingly simpler way of doing this: SELECT Distinct * FROM [Table_Name]Ibix said:Look up the ROW_NUMBER function.
That belongs in "Lame Jokes".WWGD said:Give me a coffee medium.

That'll tell you the largest number, but not give you a state (unless I'm misunderstanding what you are doing). That may or may not be what you want.WWGD said:Kind of weird

My bad, something else I was working on at the moment. It was getting rid of duplicates in a table. I had seen a few convoluted queries to do it , but this one worked fine. Strange that it is commonly mentioned as an interview question.Ibix said:That'll tell you the largest number, but not give you a state (unless I'm misunderstanding what you are doing).

So what happened with the charger? Where is a scam involved? Perhaps, she merely has her priorities set 'differently'.WWGD said:Scam alert? Lady at coffee shop asks to borrow my phone charger " for an emergency"...
I offered it to her, she tried it . It did not fit her phone and she returned it to me. I looked at her while she ate a large meal until closing time. I can't think of what kind of scam she may have wanted to pull. The charger is not expensive, so keeping it would not be that big of a deal.nuuskur said:So what happened with the charger?

The simplest of all possible scams. She wanted to get you to let her use your phone charger. She presumably had a desire to use her phone. Calling it an "emergency" got you to offer your charger. Calling it "I want to tell my girlfriend about this cute skirt I just thought about buying" could have been both less successful and more embarrassing.WWGD said:I offered it to her, she tried it .

I have offered my charger to some who have just asked, no need to say it is an energency. But maybe you're right and she believed I ( people in general) would not lend it otherwise.jbriggs444 said:The simplest of all possible scams. She wanted to get you to let her use your phone charger.

Often we see in others those things that we see in ourselves. Happily that makes your blind spot a good thing. Sadly, it makes her misapprehension a bad one.WWGD said:I have offered my charger to some who have just asked, no need to say it is an energency.

Any overlap in the two kinds?nuuskur said:There are two kinds of people: the perverts that enjoy being watched and those who don't.
